    Tray ceiling - timber choices

    If you do mr mdf, you can use this corner detail. Its a simple rebate, leaving a 3mm lip. Obviously glue the joint with a good glue ( d4 or wood weld ) and pin or clamp to close it up. 400 centres is recommended and works well with the 2400 sheet sizes.

    Just dont store your evidence on your laptop 🤣 it'll have to be emailed to yourself or in the 'cloud' or something

    Where did all the water go?!?

It seems M.i.t disagree https://engineering.mit.edu/engage/ask-an-engineer/how-does-glass-change-over-time/ Corning museum agrees with m.i.t: https://www.cmog.org/article/does-glass-flow It seems it would take a billion years for the glass to...

    Where did all the water go?!?

    With the example of mining, especially modern versions, there's a fair amount of pollution as a by product. I personally dont think electric vehicles and heat pumps are yet worth it. Unfortunately though you have to have early versions so they can be improved, but currently, the pollution...

    Help saving an oak veneered front door.

    Different epoxy brands have different mix ratios..... and the good epoxys are uv stable. Id agree with the above that it isnt worth spending more on it.

    Where did all the water go?!?

    You raise some great points. You also seemed annoyed. As you probably gathered by the original question i am by no means knowledgeable on this stuff, however, do you honestly believe we havent had a large negative impact? I do know that the earth has cycles and they have a big impact on the...

    Where did all the water go?!?

    Thanks for that Brian. Interestingly, the climate change can only really have happened since the industrial revolution and that would presumably have been fairly minor at start ( compared to the massive effect we make today ).... so presumably you'd expect to see a bigger spike in the last 30...

    Beer Can Widgets recycling?

    Cant you just slice open the can and put them in the bag? An old pair of scissors would probably cut a beer tin

    Beer Can Widgets recycling?

    If the widget is fully plastic, it can probably go in the recycling bag for kerbside collection. As for the coffee pods, my mrs bought me a dulce gusto a few years back. They dont recycle them. I hardly use it.... it might 'break' soon and I'll look into a cupppacino machine ( from Ground...

    Where did all the water go?!?

    Do you mean the coast in england has risen up out of the water? Lake mead in the u.s has dropped around 300 feet in 2 and half years due to drought, yet the arctic shelf is disintegrating due to heat. Shouldnt that heat cause sea water to be evapourated and sent back as rain, or is the sea mass...

    Where did all the water go?!?

    I recently took the kids to lyme regis to go fossil hunting. The eroding land which gives up the fossils was once a seabed.... under lots of water, so where did it go? A quick google shows the ocean holds 97% of the worlds water, just 3% in the atmosphere and snow/ ice, so we seem to be...

    Moving to Brazil: selling up or using a portable power station?

    I guess the real question is, do you need your wife? If not, you dont need to worry about the tools 🤷‍♂️ If the answer is yes, id probably look into where is safe out there.... i know a guy who lives in brazil part time ( rio i believe ) and he said it can be quite dangerous, especially...

    Making Mdf cabinet carcasses

    As you probably know, theres different grades of mrmdf. Don't go for caberwood 'trade', go for 'pro' or medite, they have a higher resin content..... heavier, but the middle isnt fluffy, better to machine and finish
