My dad had a video recorder for about 4 years. One evening when I visited he wanted to record a program, so he started to record it and left the show playing on the TV. I asked him why he didn't turn the tv off or change the channel. "You can do that?" he said. For years he thought you had to...

These threads are great :) Nice job !

And why is there a Highway To Hell but only a Stairway To Heaven? :D

I don't know if this helps, but my workshop is a single garage, away from the house with iron corrugated sheets for the roof. I've been in it every day this week with the big up-and-over door fully open all the time was in there - and I still had one day when I had water dripping off the...

You've uploaded a pdf mate - try a jpg so we can see it without having to download it and open it :)

All debate about whether par is good enough aside, I do actually love the process of taking some scraggy looking bit of timber and milling it up and making it into something ready for the next step - that big pile of sawdust and shavings is really satisfying. Granted, I'd probably think very...

Not going to miss my 50p a week then :)

Ublock is just a brilliant add-on. I'm a bit of a news junkie, all the newspaper sites I visit have pretty much everything except the news article blocked. All those 'support our site' paragraphs, the 'We think you'd also like...' sections, the annoying videos playing halfway down the page, the...

If you get stuck I'll throw an 'installing adblock' on chrome guide together with some pictures later :) EDIT: Having said that, I just installed Ublock on a clean install of chrome and it worked straight away for me - went to the youtube site, watched 4 videos, didn't see an advert.

It's been many years since I set up Ublock, but I seem to remember you go into the options and tell it to use (subscribe to) filter lists, that'll get you started with blocking 'general' adverts.

I'm too old fashioned - phone for calling people, tv for watching telly, PC for the intranetz :D

Use Firefox (or I think chrome works to) browsers with extensions. Ublock Origin - You wont see another advert. sponsorblock - automatically skips over all those "And now a message from this video's sponsor........." Haven't seen a Youtube advert in years :)

Could be worse (Story is from 2017, so they are probably worth double this now :eek:) "This man's lost bitcoin are worth $75m – and under 200,000 tonnes of garbage. He has 7,500 bitcoins... but they're lost on a landfill in Newport"

Thank you all for the excellent help. I was within a few seconds of hitting 'submit' on the order, I'm glad I held back and asked now. I'll be sending an email to Hymor shortly. Thanks again :)

I gave this one away to a colleague at work - since then I've had half a dozen requests from people who've seen it. I love the fact that the endgrain is in one piece, but for chopping boards that technique is perfect.

A couple of chessboards, and some endgrain chopping boards with whats left

I didn't know that. Most size 'drop downs' on the internet stores list specific thicknesses, one of which is 44mm - which I assumed was them planing a 2" board. I know that the Yandles site specifically says "If you need a 25mm board, we will have to plane a 38mm board", which obviously is...

Stoke isn't a million miles from me - would you mind telling me where you got your quotes from? I'm in Telford. Our main local stockists is AK Williams, apart from that, theres not much local. A few specialist oak suppliers, and a softwood sawmill

I'm not. Ideally, I would've liked my stock to be around 2x2, and 2x2 par comes out at 44x44, so I end up buying 44x44. For what I want 1/4" under ideal I can live with...... I'd prefer not to, but I could.
