Probably be torx head screws under the handles, at least an escort of similar age was. Does it have manual windows? The wire clip that secured the winder was a b#gger for springing off and disappearing, many a happy hour spent on a gravel drive with a magnet 🤬

Depending on how much you want to spend or are prepared to get creative you could fit a digital read out (DRO). They can be had fairly cheaply from Chinese suppliers, or through...

Unless I'm mistaken that looks like both live and neutral are fused, I'm no electrician but that can't be a good thing surely. If the neutral blows then the tool could still be live. Think I'd be looking for a suitably sized NVR switch

Sheet of ply and lots of '00' models? More fun than a screen at least

Curious, always thought that was done with lead

You could open it out with something like this...

If your (future) bandsaw is well tuned you could do worse than make a vee block to carry the dowel. This could have a piece glued on to run in the mitre slot. Maybe not as fast as the multi dowel jigs described above but works with a wide range of sizes and requires less adjustment time

AFAIK a tapered hole drilled in the handle before it was turned, ferrule fitted after turning then the tang of the file/rasp tapped in. That's how I've done it in the past and the handles are all still on

Not heard of it called that before. Have used PayPal to both buy from and sell to the US with no problem. IIRC anything over £22 on the customs form attracts tax and a £12 handling fee although this is a few years ago now. If you are asking the question I guess something doesn't feel right so...

Curious that one appears fixed and the other moveable. Guess someone had a need for a lot of a certain width of stringing

Can you get a multi tool in to cut it in half vertically? May then be able to slide the two halves out. Refit with a plastic T trim to look tidy. Only been able to do that once, most end up with some sort of cover panel

It's a bit of a bodge but I'd go for a bead of Sikaflex 522 under the cloth edge and strips of flat aluminium screwed on with self tappers over the top. Best if you can bend it to follow the sheet profile otherwise just short lengths between the ridges

At 17 I bought a 1970 MG Midget, blew the engine up so had it bored out to 1650 then had a stage 2 head on it, great fun but cornering in the wet was not a strong point. Volvo 740GLT 2.3 turbo was more fun than something shaped like a brick should be. Most of the others are just transport

More Canute than Noah

Could be he has a phobia, many do. In which case nothing will truly placate him. I'd put a couple of safe bait boxes down and point out the fact nothing has touched them. Won't stop him but takes the wind out of his argument

Learned to drive in a Saab 99, lovely car and those bumpers were very useful. It's getting hard to tell the current crop of cars apart, especially the SUV shapes. Is it a Jag or a Kia? Not good for brand status

Looking back at the threads you have posted showing all the wonderful and creative things you have done there, over and above what is called for by any job description, makes it so much worse that you have come to feeling this way. I'm sure your efforts have been appreciated by those who are...

Knowing my luck it'd be the workings of 'Blaster' Bates rather than oxtail soup :sick:

Imperial drill sizes, 7/32 and 11/64 look about right. Possibly homemade to keep the mist frequently used ones to hand by a drill press

Might be a daft question but are your plastics compatible with CA glue? Can't remember which types exactly but I know (guess how!) that with some the CA just sits on the surface and won't set
