    Hybrid Gas/Electric eggs, or Full Gas eggs?

    My wife thinks the gas job has two settings on and off, if the pan’s too hot she moves it to the side :(. Honestly I have tried to educate!

    Is this getting a bit out of hand? - RSV jabs

    You have just developed a cost modelling methodology, there was one developed for the decision to roll out of this vaccine and it is in the government report. Scanning the modelling section it is somewhat more complex than your proposal, but it is open to scrutiny. I'm not sure what you mean...

    Cost difference between S4S and rough hardwoods

    making all that from pre finished timber will be much more expensive and frustrating, you’ll be forever working around the sizes you can get and throwing away or hoarding all those bits that are just the wrong size. Whenever I’ve look into Pre finished timber it’s seemed about 100-200% more...

    Is this getting a bit out of hand? - RSV jabs

    There will always be tension between drug developers and health service provision. Pharmaceutical companies normally have a mission to drive improved health outcomes, but they also have shareholders who want returns, so money will be a driver. The thing that balances this is regulation and...

    Your favourite thing you have made from reclaimed timber 🤔 📸

    I'm told that every woodworker goes through their 'Fred Flintstone' phase early in their journey when they have no idea how thick things need to be so everything is 'over engineered'. The main issue is that my wife can't lift her end of it so I have to ask a neighbor for help whenever I want to...

    Your favourite thing you have made from reclaimed timber 🤔 📸

    My least favorite and most favorite are both from the same reclaimed timber. In about 2015 I came across a bloke selling a bunch of sleepers on gumtree, they were about 150mm x 75mm in section so not actual sleepers, and they had a 3/4" hole and washer mark on each end so they had been bolted to...

    Attic/Roof Questions

    If you mean the little white door, it is just to access the eaves. The desire is to remove the studs on either side of this door, and obliviously the door itself, to create an opening that can be incorporated into the room envelope for a set of drawers. Yes the two rafters bear down on the...

    Unblocking my drains

    One alternative is to have them lined. I had a drain blockage problem for a few years which was discovered to be tree route ingress. It was covered by my insurance and they came out an jet cut the routes and then installed a liner to prevent future ingress. Was about £100 per meter of drains...

    Planning application

    I did a planning application for my workshop. It’s not a complicated process, and you can download the applications others have submitted to copy from. I think where you can burn time is with overly complicated plans and drawings. Looking at other applications can give you a view on what is...

    Advice on drilling large holes thro ply.

    I find fly cutters a bit terrifying to use, and would only use in a drill press. I’d use a palm router and a template.

    Cleaning up tee bridle joint bottom

    Work to your mark lines but with an undercut, looks tidy but without the trouble of trying to get the bottom totally level. Obviously work from both sides to avoid blowing out the opposite edge.

    Attic/Roof Questions

    Hi all looking for any advice/thoughts. I’m renovating an attic room and would like to use the space to the sides of the dormer for storage. I’m unclear on if the original knee wall studs are a part of the structure or not. What I’m thinking of doing is removing the two middle studs and then...

    Sharpening hollow mortice chisels.

    I was out in the shed earlier and got the same measurement on my two somewhere between 73 and 77 degrees. Mine are stamped Multico no 1 and 2

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    I have two, but they don't hang next to each other. They are at either end of the workshop and I bought the second after i noticed how often i was walking about looking for a hand brush,

    Compressor FAD

    It’s not going to help you. The FAD is at atmospheric conditions, think of it as the air drawn into the machine to be compressed. The machine then compresses it to its set pressure. Reciprocating compressors run at a set speed and compress the same amount of inlet air independent of the delivery...
