Like this but use a hairpin instead of making one - or even 2 hairpins instead of the ring. or those things used on the pins for quick release car bonnets. or these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stainless-St ... 0005.m1851

Vile Rat was more of a Corp (guild) aquaintance than a friend I gamed with regularly in as much as he was the head of our Diplomatic Division in the Goons, none of us knew he was an actual Diplomat of sorts, except the few at the very top of the chain like mittens (aka The Mittani - yeah we...

Obsessed is the word you are looking for :) I'm not quite so bad now. WoW raiding (proper 40 man, none of that 25 man nonsense) was arguably some of the best gaming of my life (7 years in wow from launch to Cataclysm) - the evening our motley crew beat Ragnarok for the first time in Molten...

literally :) That wet cutter - wow that's a biggun isn't it? I've got a pretty large tiling project in my future - parents utility room being built and kitchen renovation, although I'm guessing it'll be next year now before I get to tiling - using large format 300 x 600 tiles, so that would...

No problem for me - as long as the isle of wight is then ringfenced with our navy and a "shoot on site" order given to any vessel trying to leave for the next few months ...... it's almost as if "the stupid" WANT to be rounded up and shot. There's not even any solid data on if having survived...

I was just in a house 4 days ago (with my builder house mate) where he is renovating (house is empty) and the tiler did (A) in the bathroom and I commented on the short tiles in the corner - it was the very first thing I saw going into the bathroom. While it may be convention to have the cuts...

I've heard Red Dead Redemption 2 is very immersive - I think my longest playsession was about 26 hours, playing Frontier: Elite 2 many years ago over a weekend when "just one more trip" was the mantra, trading large quantities of goods in my Panther Clipper from one (space) system to another for...

Lol well thats a bloody shame - I could do with all of those in a nice cocktail :)

Yes and no - to most of the above. A GOOD (successful) estate agent will have the ability to empathise with the buyers, tease out information such as why they are buying the house, is it a "forever home", "just while the children grow up" or just the first rung on a ladder, selling on in five...

I'm certain I've seen a video where the molten glass was just spun and spun into a disk, if that method above was used (and not sure how 200 years ago) it doesnt explain how bullseye glass comes about. A hand spun disk of glass however, does explain how a glass bullseye with a section of FLAT...

Apologies but at the risk of beating a dead horse.... "the stupid" continues.... Today at 11am I had to go to the bank in person to pay some stuff in for a friend who cannot, I drive down Gloucester road, which won't mean anything to non Bristolians, but it's one of the main roads into the...

Yeah geography and LOCAL geography are factors - I live in Bristol, my mate in Brecon in Wales - we did a test to see how that panned out when I was going to renew insurance a couple of years back after a similar conversation about car insurance prices - Bristol is EXPENSIVE, almost as much as...

Because employed people generally want to get to work the next day, and the next, and the next - and so on, because they like having more money than you can get on benefits (in most cases).

really? I'm with Admiral as well, have been for 4 years now and yes each year the renewals go up more than the extra years "no claims discount" is supposed to be - which annoys me, so I tell them... and the price goes down several hundred pounds.... I really do feel for those people who just...

I wonder - were the curved bottoms of the sheets because they were spun? IIRC that's how they made glass sheets, spinning a flat disk and the bullseye (much sort after now ironically) was the unwanted waste - the doors that had bullseyes in them were the poor and the cheapskates.

Aww don't - you'll get me really hankering for it - I used to work in Ross-on-Wye (when I lived in Glocestershirwe) and sit by the river for my lunch, a lovely place. I've canoed on the sea around Littlehampton many moons ago, I'm pretty sure I can remember which bit of the paddle goes in the...

If you made a base for the drill bed (is it called a bed?) with a bearing in it - you could put a (pointy) static end in that as well to potect the bearings and stop run out. - you could potentially make a sideways tool rest as well. I did similar for my pillar drill sanding things - they have...

I was thinking similar but the other way - which do people feel would be greater - the glue resistance to shear forces as opposed to opening up by leverage - some angled hardwood dowels near the ends of the splice would also help. There's also the possibility of binding the spliced joint -...

Unfortunately Covid doesn't kill only the stupid - whether in thought or deed - but those stupid people who act selfishly can then easily spread it to the innocent, I've just read that some scientist has had to resign because he broke the lockdown rules to meet his lover (the fact she is married...

Trickey to do with one person though as ideally you preplace the threaded rod into the holes in the wall plate and prop it in place, then push the threaded rod through into the already applied epoxy - and you need to be pretty quick about it. otherwise you run the risk of the threaded rod being...
