Or a real tractor :devilish:

There have been a number of speed limit changes locally over the past year or so. A 30 has been extended, and 20 introduced in the town centre. For the first few months enforcement vans were around a couple of times a week until locals got used to the new limits, it has worked well except for...

Worked pretty well in ww2

It's strange that the vehicle argument seems to have become EV versus ICE. Scania are developing sub 7.5t EVs for towns and hydrogen for long distance haulage, similarly JCB have developed a hydrogen modification for their machines.

If you've got Mole Valley nearby they may stock the proper stuff. Normally buy it from our local ag merchant as it seems better than wickes

My favourite tool for that job: https://www.screwfix.com/p/roughneck-big-mutt-pro-multi-use-building-decorating-tool-7-/36715 Although I'd look for the wooden handle version

This argument can go back and forth for eternity and doesn't really matter. The problem is human nature. Like a bunch of addicts hiding our addiction we will all say we want action, then go right back to the behaviour that is going to kill us. In times of war societies are able to achieve...

I'm envious, round here there's little that's edible except field mushrooms, and even they are disappearing as old pastures get ploughed up

That looks like a plan, I've got a lot of offcuts of 22mm pipe. There are commercially available ones, but I like projects like that

It has been a bad year for the slugs on cabbages. Drives me mad when they get up the stem and chew their way into the heart 🤬 Keeping the stems clear of old leaves can help, otherwise it's iron based slug pellets, beer traps, upturned citrus skins and so on. I knew an old chap who used to...

Was given some plants from them last year, grew extremely well in spite of being wrapped in wet newspaper for 5 days then being ravaged by pigeons when the netting blew off while I was away

This is the one Martin is referring to

+1 for NHS Phonak ones, having finally persuaded GP to refer me it took less than 6 weeks to get one sorted and that included an MRI as I have one sided HF loss. Batteries are free in this area, as are replacement tubes

I have a set like the one below, and with a standard 8 inch record grinder it does me very well. Think you may find that Amazon one a bit of a one trick pony https://www.rutlands.com/products/turning-tool-sharpening-jig

Can you clamp the board back to it's original thickness at the delaminated points? If so I'd be tempted to try thin CA glue or wet rot wood hardener applied whilst it is clamped. If not I'd try using a scalpel to remove small amounts of material from the centre along the length until it can...

If you can get away with it this would be a good candidate for microwave drying. Weigh, zap for 30-40 seconds on a low setting, allow to cool, repeat until the weight is steady and it should be dry enough to be stable in use

Fill the void with coloured epoxy, black milliput would do the job here. Cheap CA glue from Screwfix makes an effective wood hardener on really soft stuff, just be sure to cover the lathe bed well before starting

It would with this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354177889027?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=tyxh97akqqg&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=_XwgzqajSc-&var=623548497517&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

If you buy M33 3.5 you can buy an insert to reduce the thread to ¾x16. It's a good idea as then you can move the chuck on to any other lathe you may get in the future
