I'd add to that Layer Marney Tower or if you are interested in seeing some magnificent historic woodwork Cressing Temple Barns is worth a visit both accessible by train/buses

If you don't mind tinkering with hardware you can get some quite capable cameras that work well in low light or darkness such as those based upon the Sony IMX291 chipset. These can be obtained with various interfaces including USB or Ethernet so you can quite easily collect large amounts of data...

I concur with others - this is most likely a blocked idle jet most likely caused through the use of E10 - fuel with 10% ethanol in it. This stuff degrades over time and can gum up small jets - like the idle jet. I had this happened to me on my small Honda Izzy which would start from cold fine...

Any metal cutting disc will do, although they do sell ones specifically for stainless which no doubt are better than the 'normal' ones. Try to get the 1mm or at least 1.6mm ones since they remove less material - they are quicker to cut with, and assuming the chisel is mounted firmly in a vice...

I don't know that model personally, however I would have thought an intermittent connection in either the field coils or the armature are unlikely - usually either will fail and fault to chassis == earth and trip a breaker/fuse or more likely go open circuit - permanently!. I'd check there...

I'd agree with all the above wrt requiring more heat and add - since I do have an AC TIG welder and occasionally weld aluminium, that cleanliness is an absolute must! After cleaning up the pieces to be joined to remove the surface oxidation - best is a stainless steel wire brush - if you use a...

Having previously lived next to an abusive neighbour I'd say being friendly and considerate is the best approach. When I moved into my current house I had the room to build a decent sized workshop as I have a 50m rear garden, but I made sure it was neighbour friendly - I used a low pitch roof...

I guess I ought to have posted this on this thread....

They look a good product, however I went down a slightly alternate path and last year bought one of these - Instantpot ...and I love it, its great for super quickly cooking things like chili-con-carne, pork ribs, belly of pork, dahls of all descriptions all done in one pot and around only 20mins...

I just looked that product up - thanks that looks an ideal solution to this type of problem /Ed

Hi Martin - very smart looking room! It looks like moisture staining to me, I have no experience of whether sanding this back will remove the discoloration as have only done this in the past with oak - which did remove the water marks. By way of comparison this is my cedar shingle covered...

I was in my workshop yesterday processing my 2nd pallet load of Baltic pine woodblock flooring described here and found that with this batch I was getting ~25% wastage since these blocks had shrunk such that when viewed on end the block sides were almost v shaped top to bottom and by the time I...

I think you've hit the nail on the head ! - I couldn't get my head around why in the 2nd pic the sparks are shown going toward the operator and not away...

I think whichever method you use depends on how comfortable you are and sometimes the size/material being cut. To my mind pic#2 is safer, if the disc binds the force will be downward and worst case you lose grip on the grinder the safety switch will prevent serious carnage. Also if the...

3 from me, 1st down to stupidity - In my early woodworking days I needed a table mounted router but didn't have the funds for one so improvised mounting the router inverted in a B&D workmate and with a makeshift fence started making up some mouldings. I can't remember quite how I managed this...

Further to what others have advised - I have a Kity 613 bought new at least 27y ago and I have used it regularly for lightish work and sometimes heavier work such as ripping 140mm sawn hardwoods and I have never had issues with the blade popping off. I know the designs did change in some...

I have a collection of old wooden planes all in need of some attention to go to a good home. Some well known makes Tyzack, Atkin, C. Nurse, Greenslade, Varvill, Popple, some without blades and one with a rather unsympathetic attempt at restoration! To go as a job lot if possible, collection near...

As others have suggested I'd take the bead out and reseat the panel with glazing tape - that stuff sticks like sheet to a shovel and even if someone went to the bother of attempting removing the beading from the outside the tape would prevent easy panel removal without breaking the panel itself...

I have a 2nd hand but boxed and unused Zyliss vice for sale - I obtained it as part of a job lot clear out of a garage and as I have a purpose built bench and don't do any site work I have no use for it. The box is a little grimy and faded but the contents are all pretty much pristine aside from...

I have a quantity of solid hardwood engineered blocks that I lifted from underneath a carpet during some renovations and wonder if anyone can recognise the wood type? This is a block as lifted - they have an extremely thin layer of what I assume is varnish and is laid on top of some recently...
