Yes. I have that same set of bits and they do fit in my old brace. Quicker in a power drill though...

Well I guess there's Western red cedar...

Having just made a garden gate out of Cedar, I can tell you that it's very soft.

I don't have a proper chuck, I have a Craft Supplies thing, but it's rather limited.

Sorry, no! You'd probably need an adapter, but I'm not sure where to look for that.

My original two lead acid batteries cost me £75 each, so when they failed, and I stumped up £429 for the Lifepo4, you could say that was throwing good money after bad, but I have to say that it's like chalk and cheese, the useable capacity of lead acid is a fraction of the nominal capacity. So...

I have two J4 juniors, and they have 1/2" BSP threads on the inboard side. I started a thread a while back, and got all sorts of suggestions, but finally proved it to my own satisfaction by screwing a plumbing fitting on the the shaft.

Solar panel was about £170, IIRC, MPPT charger was about £80, inverter was £300 from FB marketplace, battery was £429. So about 1k. Makes no sense at all, financially.

It depends on your power usage, but I get by with a 4kw inverter, a 420w solar panel, and a 24v 100ah Lifepo4 battery. I was using two 130ah lead acid batteries, but learned my lesson the hard way. However, I don't spend all day out there

You're spot on! It's like Lord Flashheart from Black Adder (played by Rik Mayall) had taken up woodwork and joined the forum.

That was a very weird interlude. There are people on these forums whom I strongly disagree with, but by and large I can see where they're coming from, but the language and tone of his posts was surreal. Something almost non-human about it, like a cartoon character...

I think arson might work.

Yeah. My rubbish tends to cover the bench top also.

That looks almost exactly like mine, and I can lift out a board in the well for clamping. I even have that drawer. Mine was pretty much all made out of left-overs from building my shed. I only wish I could keep it clear of all the cr@p..

They have to be the strangest threads I've read in these forums!

Thanks for the advice, but I've had ten Drayton Wiser valve heads installed for about three years now, and I'm fairly happy with them, but I live in a strange household, with 3 generations. The reason I'm looking for headless TRVs is because I have a few radiators that aren't wirelessly...

It was Ainsley Harriet the last time I saw it(about ten years ago...). Fake then and still fake now, sadly...

I have Drayton Wiser wireless heads. I wasn't aware of service kits, but in this instance, the valves I want to replace are very old and have threads for the heads that are seemingly incompatible with any adapters.

I don't need the heads, just the bodies.

Maybe incorporate a viewing area?
