Back in the day (re Henniep, above), the foam agent on HM ships, in a yellow drum with a pierceable lid IIRC was ox blood!

I used Tunnel Bear for most of the 15 years we lived in SW France. Effective, allowed access to the BBC, and when Iplayer came along doubly useful. Keep it now, but some sites like Marcus savings and Coop won't work if connected nor will my wireless printer connect.

Having owned a Kity K5 combination for 40 years (6" PlanerThicknesser/20mm Spindle/210mm table saw) I decided to give up OO railway modelling in favour of OO9 narrow gauge and to put all I made on selling my models, stock and some custom customer baseboards (about £900) with some svings to buy...

Re decay/degradation of the legs at ground level, consider suitable sized plastic lemonade bottles cut down, slipped over the leg and then shrunk with a hot air gun. The grip is surprisingly effective and they will conform perfectly to a square/ rectangular leg.

https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-265kg-boltless-shelving-light-grey-350blu/ I had these at my last place, with a centre brace on each shelf they took all my tools in boxes after a house move. IIRC they have only increased in price by about £30 in ten years. Another advantage was the...

This morning at Ivybridge tip re-use shop. £1.30p for both. I know, Dear, I wasn't going to be buying any more tools, and besides I've never seen a little one like that before, and.. Yeah, whatever...

Agree 👍 The ears have it!

Broadly in the same vein...You may find a niche in the market, but is there a market in the niche?

As has been said above, a chip may become a crack, become a bigger crack, et cetera. So? The rigid integrity of an undamaged screen is a major factor in preventing roof crush in the event of a major roll-over catastrophe.

Buy half-a-dozen terriers and let them free range the garden...;)

Coat rack below in 3/4" MDF, edge screwed through dowels as above, painted to match kitchen units after filling and two coats Rustins MDF primer with Dulux scrubbable white emulsion coloured with yellow enamel oil paint (yes, they do mix). Original skirting recycled with scribed wall joint...

The Kity K5 combination is what you are after, they are out there, I have just sold a 40 yr old model.

First..Use Rustin's MDF Sealer. Inexpensive, available in s\fix and t\station. Even accepts varnish. Second.. Everywhere you screw into 'end grain' MDF insert a 10mm hardwood dowel 20mm from the edge of the end grain, pre-drill and pre-glue as above & drive your screw through the dowel.

SLW tokens - Scottish Laughing Water tokens Also RLW tokens - Red Laughing Water tokens. Thanks for your info, seems ideal for garden tool shed shelves et cetera.

Not immediately, but selling a Morgan 3 Wheeler (JAP 900) to fund a Ford Prefect must now rank as the silliest thing in the world, unless you count selling an NSU moped registration HOT 901 for £12. What would a particular type of Porche driver pay for that today? I have always said that...

Hhmmm..I'm thinking backs of wall-hung cupboards etc instead of ply...(Saving SLW tokens et cetera. )

Interesting, OSB3, is this Stirling Board ?

Impressive!

I have made an adaptor for my new Axminster 1950 dust port by heating {heat gun} a suitable rainwater fitting and pushing it over the outlet. Fortunately my 50mm hose pushes in the other side with two layers of duct tape. About £2.50p.
