Well there’s your other problem, if your blade was cutting a 32nd of an inch that’s why it’s stopping when it hit the end grain, too much blade projecting. Actually I could see it on the first photo when I looked again, behind the plane there is a thin whitish line. Ian

If you mean the piece of wood that the shaped side of the plane runs/ rubs on why would it be rebated? Ian

Thank you HJ, a very succinct answer, shan’t fall for that again! Ian

Afraid I can’t see anything standing up to a pan straight from the hob being put onto it, you could perhaps inlay some stainless rods that would stand proud? Ian

Looks to be a little dark and too opened grained for either of those two, recognise it but can’t place it, at first I thought American Ash but probably not. Ian

Maybe not, but there is a recent study from Germany that pretty conclusively shows low vitamin D with a very bad outcome from Covid.

Magnesium is very good for leg and foot cramps as well, the sort that’s easy for the body to use is a relatively new one from the MIT clever people in the states. MagnesiumLthreonate Ian

Glad to hear it! Next time you’re in the supermarket and you see somebody with about half a trolley full of the stuff you can guarantee they are a chubkins.

Not so difficult Jacob, I just don’t think he’s got his plane set fine enough, personally I never use a shooting board I just stand it in the vice, it’s pretty rare to get breakout, if it’s being difficult I come at it from both ends and then take the middle off, but it must be sharp and set...

Hi Doug, best of luck with your mother, not the easiest things to try and control in my experience. lol Just checked this is the one I have, the first one lasted probably eight years so this is the second one, Eco-air DD/S black edition, God knows why cause it’s all white, up to 7 L per day on...

Fairly sure that’s the same one I have, I run it in a large wardrobe type construction (I call it my kiln) to reduce the moisture in firewood it’s staggering the amount of water that comes out, and as you may know it don’t burn!

Do you have a compressor? You could go down the route of inflatable bags within a framework, the Fire Brigade use them to lift lorries that have gone over. Just an idea. Ian

It’s not the fault of the oil filled radiator, my well insulated 45‘ x 15‘ is heated very nicely with one, it’s the lack of insulation, it just can’t keep up with how fast the heat is escaping through the walls and roof. Ian

@D_W How's your consumption of fizzy drinks David?

Well that’s the bit I can’t get my head round, how can making me waste my time make them money?

Yes but "what’s it all about Alfie"

Almost, a big, big time Builder friend of mine did actually say 50 years! He died recently I would’ve loved to have asked him about fitting heat pumps to new houses. He was a Yorkshireman and didn’t take prisoners, he once asked very high up the ladder what carbon neutral was when building...

These are fairly regularly above the useful stuff on this site, I opened something like this once and entered a maze of rabbit holes that never seemed to end so I shan’t do it again, this one appears to advocate sticking a nail in a socket – well I suppose it would slash your power bills, it...

You could of course keep the fence where it was and then fasten a short wooden fence to it. Ian

And just in case anybody doesn’t know. I’m (fairly sure) it means to be blown up by your own pipe bomb. They were laid against doorways quite often. Ian
