    LED Battens for Woodwork workshop

    I have recently built my small workshop. For the main lights I opted for Led Batten Lights by Barrina (6500 K). You can find easily on Amazon. 8 x 2200lm divided in 3 groups: 4 for general light, 2 on top of the workbench and 2 on top of the 3 rolling carts on the back that work as a secondary...

    House Buying - Advice?

    Hi Jacob, apologies but I don't understand what you you meant with "not true". I believe we are actually on the same page at least on some points: I wrote "As the supply curve is inelastic, any factor that increases demand (like the stamp duty holiday of 2020) will directly hike prices up and...

    House Buying - Advice?

    When we bought our new home two years ago, we made two crucial financial decisions: we kept savings equivalent to six months of our total living expenses, and we ensured that the mortgage would not exceed 40% of my net salary alone. This strategy was designed to protect us in case of job loss or...

    *Small* electric screwdriver?

    I absolutely love my Bosch IXO 6th gen! It has LED light, it is compact enough to put in the pocket and you can also buy several attachments: I particularly use the cutter (to break down cardboard boxes) and right angle adaptor...

    THE FOURTH OF JULY

    Sorry Terry, but I got confused. You say: However, on the link that you shared IFS says (on the fourth paragraph of the topic "Other parties available"): "Reform UK and the Greens offer much bigger numbers still. The policies they outline are not going to be implemented. But the way they...

    House Buying - Advice?

    Apologies if what I am about to say is obvious... House prices (as almost anything) reflect a supply-demand relationship. In the short term, house supply is a good example of “perfect inelastic” supply curve: it can’t react quickly to match changes of demand. So, unless the area you are...

    Log Cabin Workshop 3.5m x 4.5m

    They are Led Batten Lights by Barrina. You can find easily on Amazon. 8 x 2200lm divided in 3 groups: 4 for general light, 2 on top of the workbench and 2 on top of the 3 rolling carts on the back that work as a secondary bench. It is overkill but gives me flexibility. The working lamps are IKEA...

    Project management

    I agree with @Agent_zed that MS Project (and Primavera P6 or any of these heavy-weight Gantt-based software) is "too indepth for simple work planning". For individual projects under, lets say half a million pounds, they are simply not very cost-effective IMHO. The amount of work you have to...

    Project management

    Although I can't contribute with an answer, I am very curious to see the responses to your question @True Joinery ltd. Just for clarification (forgive if it is a stupid question), what do you mean by "manage projects"? Would it be manage the tasks order and utilization of your machinery/tools...

    Finish advice for walnut guitar amp head

    On the theme of walnut finishes and musical instruments, like many others I opted for Tru-Oil applied with wet and dry sandpaper and achieved a very good result (in my opinion): It is a very tedious (or therapeutic) process. In my case 20+ coats. You can get it to a very shiny finish if you...

    Log Cabin Workshop 3.5m x 4.5m

    The electrician has not come yet (:mad:) and I am avoiding bringing all the stuff from the shed inside the workshop to make his life easier. However, I couldn't help myself and jumped into an opportunity (or a trap?): It even matches the workshop outside color! :D Now, I need to find a...
