    Mystery lazy riveter

    If it is brass does that mean it was designed to be used where there might be explosion risk?

    Design ideas wanted - soup bowl tilter

    Angled wooden block with a curved lip, or use a router to shape a suitable holder in the block. Bob beat me to it

    Chainsaw Guidance

    Yes, neighbour bought one last year and reckons it's very good. Removes metal pretty quickly from what I can see so only needs a couple of seconds on the stone. Teeth are totally different from a normal chain. Couple of people on arbtalk have them for ground level work and farm hedge trees as...

    Please help find a right pillar drill/ drill press/ drill stand for me

    You can get 600mm auger bits in a set from Toolstation for about £20, probably not the best quality. If you aren't doing many lamps a set of these and an old hand brace will do the job cheaply. From drilling these on a lathe I think a shell auger bit will stay straighter in end grain but they...

    Off my nut

    If you are taking metronidazole don't stray too far from a toilet. The effects can last a couple of weeks after you stop taking them. Live yoghurt and vitamin c may help.

    Rope Warming

    Would a fermentation heater do the job? https://www.biggerjugs.co.uk/products/flexible-heat-pad-30cm-diameter-for-use-with-all-fermenters-and-carboys There are others but the 7 year old in me couldn't resist the website name

    Help.

    Good point. A plug cut from scrap wood, trimmed to cutter internal length less 11mm, hot melt glued into the cutter might do the trick

    Shed roof

    If you have a bit of leeway on time then keep an eye on Freecycle/trashnothing websites. After the recent weather there have been a few sheds for spares on our local one, a bit of creativity and a roll of felt and you should have something that'll do the job if only temporarily

    Dovetail jig

    I haven't use one of these for years but it sounds like your guide bush might be too big, measure the difference between tail and socket, halve it and decrease the guide or bearing by that amount. I found it took a bit of trial and error on scrap before I could get a fair result so I don't use...

    Bun Feet

    150mm in one bun is going to look a bit odd imho, how about an inverted cottage loaf? Shouldn't have skipped lunch today

    Jacobs Chuck Arbour

    In the same situation I bought an adapter sleeve from Axminster, there's a couple on their eBay shop atm for about £13. Adds about 20mm to the projection but does the job
