Come on! We're talking Americans here. Why use only one bullet/shell when 99 will do? 🤣🤣

Ah! Bring back the magic lantern. I expect you've still got yours @stuart little . Can you publish the plans so we can all make them for when the 'leccy runs out. 😇😂🤣

You can see that's not real. The air hostess is brunette. 🤣🤣

@Stigmorgan Brilliant! Watched a couple of YouTube videos to see how it works as well. Intriguing. I'm not into turning but am interested in all things decorative. 😁

@Stigmorgan I'm intrigued by your secret Santa tool and the patterns it creates so nicely. Can I bother you to post a photo of it please? Regards Martin

Thinking back to electronic surface mount component technique classes where the components were literally stuck to the PC and the whole PC assembly put on a hot plate then raised to a temperature where the solder paste (a mixture of granulated solder and flux) melted. Could this technique be...

I know the councils are so slow but................. Deja vu vu vu vu vu vu It echoes a lot here doesn't it. 🤣🤣

Thanks for such a detailed post. May I be so bold as to suggest rather than 3D printed pins and sockets a Vee groove along the bottom of the top section and a corresponding Vee 'mountain' along the top of the bottom section. That would be really strong.

@Doris That's brilliant. I especially like the birdys on the roof. I can get no idea of scale though. How large is it?

Strewth @Stigmorgan . Glad you're OK. Reminds me of something that happened to me in my youth. I had a Citroen DS. Gearbox was bust (another story). The input shaft was a different size on the secondhand GBx I had bought so I was stripping downmy original GBx. I couldn't pull the bearing from...

@pe2dave CPC = circuit protective conductor. That is earth to you and me. TLA three letter abbreviation Have fun Martin

@seanf I will pick up some of the connectors I linked tomorrow. I assume there is no issue in using the same connectors for both lights? I can always buy the two way ones as well if needed, but these aren’t in stock locally at the moment You can alway use 3 way connectors in place of 2 way if...

+1 for the crescent type. They are brilliant as long as you can get a grip on the nail (headed or not) though the same can be said of most pullers. And as you pull harder they grip more. Have fun. Martin

I've always just used an old bit of carpet. It eases the feet and keeps them warm.

Imagine the scene: two cars travelling down a straight road, a parked car further along and a turning to the right a hundred yards past that. The car in front of me indicates to go around the parked car having done so I go to overtake him whereupon he turns into the turning. I collide with his...

Since it's morrisminordriver asking it's probably 6V. 🤣🤣 Oops! This is Joke thread III isn't it?
