As others have said, speaker design is quite complex and there are numerous designs used to overcome these physical limitations This is an example - one of a never to be finished pair of open baffle design by the late Siegrfried Linkwitz

+ for Wera bits and Wiha screwdrivers - as @Sideways I find Wiha drivers to be well designed and have the right balance of hardness and toughness

I agree wrt a leather strop, I just lay it on the float glass 'shelf' atop a 120-grit carborundum sheet glued to it for 2nd grind when sharpening - other side is 80-grit. Plenty flat enough for honing an edge, albeit I rarely use it as my usual sequence of 80-120-320-1600 grits leaves a near...

That reminds me of a mate that bought a secondhand Squariel - the exhausts were badly clagged up with oily carbonised deposits and the cast aluminium end-cones could not be unscrewed. So he hacksawed the silencers away back from the cast end-pieces so as not to damage the castings and so the...

Ooh this will be interesting - I look forward to watching your posts!

I commuted daily from High Wycombe to central London/Docklands for many years and filtered pretty much anywhere it was safe to do so, In the mornings the tailback along the A40 would often commence at Northolt airdrome so from then into central London past Paddington, Euston Rd, City Rd then Old...

I have found Wealdens to be quite good, imperial only and I've never used any of the more expensive ones so cannot compare!

This one is buried under Woolwich Arsenal as it was too large to move, however a smaller one can be seen at street level as per the colour photo Steam Hammer

Unsure what type of finish you are trying to achieve but if you are looking to tint wood as opposed to apply an opaque finish then I've used old-school transparent oil glazes in the distant past -30+y ago - the downside is that these are- or used to be linseed-oil based so can take an age to...

I was almost going to post a link to let me Google that for you, but thought it slightly rude - a cursory google search using the term - General Finishes Gel oil based stain uk shows lots of options depending on your budget...

Can you clarify what LED's you are intending to use - maybe a link to the website/item you have bought ? LED's are constant current devices so need a limiting resistor in series with a fixed voltage supply to limit the current drawn to within design limits, typically the voltage across a...

Is this erection for growing stuff or just a sun lounge? Reason for asking is that most of the latter I have seen are hellishly cold in winter and require £££'s of blinds in summer to reduce the tropical temperature....

My shed is bone dry - nothing rusts and wall construction is from outside -> inside Cedar shingles Tyvek 18mm ply 80mm studwork in-filled with foil backed celotex foamed between uprights and cross braces 15mm batten air-gap for electrics, ethernet 0.1-0.2mm thick polythene vapour barrier 6mm...

For a large part of my career I worked at Reuters, albeit on the IT side however they had a style guide given out to all employees regarding the correct use of English, and words to avoid that could be Internationally misconstrued. A few spring to mind - decimated - to reduce by one tenth pants...

Likewise commonplace place is AC, or DC current which does my head in.... mind you direct current voltage just sounds daft !!

It is somewhat unclear from your problem description, however you appear to be saying the fault moves to whichever channel of your multiple channel recording box that particular camera is plugged into? If so then the camera is obviously at fault. These types of camera, irrespective of what you...

@donturner - Glad you got it sorted! Wot Jacob said, I remember as a kid my dad having a 12in x 3in ply board that had emery cloth stretched across it and held in place by some similar ply offcuts and he used that to sharpen chisels knife blades etc. Fast forward I use cheap rolls of 80 and 160...

In the same part of the world as you and don't see any moisture problems inside mine, a highly suspect RF contact hygrometer tells me timber in the 'shop is 7-12% RH but cast jointer surfaces don't rust nor does mild steel metalwork bench -

Certainly not as advanced as your chillies but my self-seeded acers are all looking good having spent all their time outdoors - AFAIKT these are likely 3y old as according the RHS they can take 2y to germinate and they appear to be pretty hardy, potted up last autumn - the parent tree - and the...

As others have suggested this is a Switched Mode Power Supply - SMPS and tbh likely cheaper to buy a replacement than attempt to repair. Also if the capacitor top you have damaged is the same value as the undamaged one on the right then it likely forms part of the input side mains rectified...
