    Did you just really create a UKW Sponsors only marketplace section??

    Unless I'm mistaken this looks like a marketplace section for sponsor only readership "Sponsor announcements on their products, specials and company news" - which crucially can ONLY BE READ BY SPONSORS. Question: why would I as a paying sponsor put in a detailed thread about my "products...

    Is it me or

    I've been doing some work at my folks place and they wanted some shelves put up to create an airing cupboard, my father being the man he is, he insisted I use 4x2's for the framing, way overkill, anyway I went to wickes 2 weeks ago and I'd say over 50% of the racks were empty of PAR, the only...

    Should you speak the truth?

    I was going to basically say the same but you beat me to it, especially the first part. I've been helping a friend of 35 years get through a very messy and difficult situation with his clearly unreasonable wife, by giving him my couch to sleep on for almost 11 months (so far) as well as some...

    Customs declarations and brexit

    Nice - all good and all but the EU is NO LONGER JUST ABOUT THE SINGLE MARKET. If it was we would still be part of it - and I would have voted to STAY, abd I'm pretty confident most other brexiters would have as well - but the reality is it isn't, just the SM and hasn't been for quite some time...

    Kitchen Cabinets

    WOW Monster, those look absolute quality - sure it took a long time, but think of the money you saved, I'd be interested to know what Doctor Bob would have priced this worts of work at, and as you say the learning that came with it is invaluable :)

    DIY Drum sander motor?

    That's exacty the same plan I'm going to use, but probably using a spare 1200w drill which will suffice for my needs I think. I had thought about a pair of stepped pullys like on a drill press to control speed.

    Buyer Beware

    I'm surprised tbh - Western Digital drives are normally pretty solid, had many myself without issue that I can recall, but just like samsung handgrenades, even the best can screw it up sometimes. I've been pondering on something similar and a friend who's even more up on thsi sort of thing than...

    Shaving brushes finishing

    Having used it multiple times I can say Rustins plastic coat is VERY finicky about what it can be used on - ANY trace of any contaminant, whether it be yorkshire grit or any other polishing compound, finish or basically anything and it'll happily fisheye, orange peel or do anything BUT give you...

    Neighbour's circular saw accident

    "a fool and his fingers are soon parted" now the NHS should send him a "being a ****" bill for re-attaching them - I'll bet the value of the procedure and rehab would be many thousands.

    I don't think they would believe it nowadays?

    I still disagree - Laurence's birth and colour is what it is, his upbringing in a middle class family is also "is what it is" he had no say over the why and the how of any of it. he went to the school hios parents told him to go to (like me a private boarding school) and had a lifestyle...

    Me, I like almost anything, but my father had a serious thing for Callard and Bowser Cream Line Toffees.

    I don't think they would believe it nowadays?

    I'm not sure you've not really grasped the intention of "cancel culture" very well - they aren't about stopping you from calling out racism or sexism or pretty much anything else when it happens; they are about stopping anything they don't like, whatever that may be. Such as "no platforming"...
