    excess deaths around 1928?

    Could it be a weather event? Prolonged cold and snow for several months. Other than that TV was first demonstrated in 1928. Couch potato lifestyle sets in quick!!

    Introductions

    Welcome to the forum good luck with your new workshop +1 for the height and headroom. My garden becomes a swamp this time of year and I'm often in my shed in wellies (1 inch taller) . Ear defenders can add another inch of height and it's not much fun when you whack those against a roof beam.

    How would you rate the UK's handling of this pandemic?

    I listened in on a briefing mid December. Attendees were asked not to share the charts and graphs. The London wide statistics then were deeply worrying. But the government threatened local authorities with legal action when they tried to close schools early. I would have shut them down and...

    How would you rate the UK's handling of this pandemic?

    Yes it has been a difficult time for all countries and leaders, but our leader was the one who hugged people in hospitals and boasted about it before going on to nearly die from Covid. We have had u-turn after u-turn and I seem to remember Boris was too busy to attend most of the early COBRA...

    Bay window insulation

    Almost every house on my road has these. Our gardens face south and all of these windows are on the front North facing walls and seem to be used for the corner box rooms with two outside walls as well. Almost doomed to be cold rooms.

    New (old) Woodworker

    Please don't think you have to rush in and do anything drastic with sandpaper or wire wool. It's really tempting with old wooden tools. I would brush them over with a dustpan and brush type soft brush and hoover out any crud free up the wedges and irons and try and keep them together! For the...

    Impressive Tool Cabinet

    No need to apologise. I'm not a particular fan of his, Youtube suggested it and I enjoyed watching the video while I had a cup of tea - a bit like a museum tour. It did make me laugh that this was just a prototype! I wonder if he's planning on building the next Studley tool chest with the final...
