    Anyone have a bad day at the office.

    Nasty and difficult to avoid using a thumb - are you left or right handed?

    Heatwave

    The debate should be whether HUMAN activity has CAUSED the change, or NOT. Just because you get correlation between human activity and changes in climate, DOES NOT ESTABLISH whether it is cause or effect. What proof would you need to link the two? Also - do you not think it would be wise to...

    Heatwave

    I'm genuinely curious as to WHY people think climate change is not happening / just a natural thing that she shouldn't worry about. I'm curious to know what the thinking and reasoning is behind this.

    Heatwave

    I was wondering that - but the hottest 1976 day was way below this. The article also states that 9/10 of the hottest days have occurred since the 1990s https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/62212604 As for the heatwave and duration. We have had very little rain this spring and summer. It has been dry...

    A sad loss. He has inspired many over the years.

    Going around ever decreasing spirals until disappearing up.........

    Also - if a large and heavy ball is used - could you simplify it by have a spiral of dowels with spacing smaller than the ball. Lay it out and drill out the majority on your drill press and if your drill press won't reach - freehand drill the last few.

    Going around ever decreasing spirals until disappearing up.........

    Haven't read all the replies thoroughly. Apologies if this is repeated. Can you not cut a template in 6mm MDF on a bandsaw or scrollsaw and then use a flush trim bit on a router to copy the shape onto thicker pieces of MDF? If it's more complex than that - surely there must be a jig like a...

    Feeling very violated today

    Another couple of thoughts: If you have several buildings - when you unlock in the morning - Imagine its an alarm call. Most of your buildings will have a perfectly good entry point and a big bank of light switches by the door that will light up the room. I bet there are one or two buildings...

    Feeling very violated today

    Sounds like you have had a lucky escape - it may not feel like it. Perhaps sit and brainstorm for an hour or so. Have a good think about site and all the old / new / weird doors, gates, windows and locks. Are there any others that might 'slip through the net' and get left unopened? Is it time...

    Storage Crates

    I do like their boxes. If I've ever left anything outside or in the garage (unheated) over winter the lids can become brittle.

    Its been a while....

    Good to see you back and posting. I hope you can make use of the longer days and dry weather. Having to climb over everything and move a tone of stuff just to get in is a pain and it gets you down. Try and chip away at it. Sometimes it doesn't take much to get the ball rolling. Clear a day from...

    Tool roll recommendation sought.

    I know this may sound a bit daft and none of us have money to burn but it might be better to get a really cheap one just to try out. The reason is that tool rolls never really match what you imagine in my experience. The flaps don't always fold back down . The handle half can bulk up immensely...

    Table saw safety

    That's quite a frustrating situation to deal with. "There is an accident about to happen" "It's fine because - some knowledgeable people told me it was okay that way" I know I'm over simplifying the conversation but why does someone value one person's opinion over another's. Is it first...

    Making Fun - Jimmy Diresta

    https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81267200 My two kids were watching this morning. Jimmy and a team make crazy projects for children in a big workshop. Not sure if you will want to watch without kids - but's it genuinely funny and tries to make tools and woodworking a bit cool for kids.
