Botten rastard.

"Peak"??? 😦 It was as subtle as being sodmised by a locomotive. There's edgy comedy and then there is scatalogical comment deployed as 'railing against the system'.

Travelling on a well-boiled icycle. The Lord is a shoving lepard. No, those are not spelling mistakes. Just to remind Folks where we is comin' from....

"Beaten". Tut tut. Blasted Colonists and their laziness.

No, one for the H.V.L.P. workshop r.h.s.: router, sander, bandsaw, drill press and lathe and the second for the H.P.L.V. l.h.s. on the table saw and P/T.

I'll take both please. Details later - on L.N.E.R. presently, a long way from home.

"Stand up! You'll think more easily!". Anon.

Depends on the metal. I was tapping an old train carriage body last week, circum 1954, for a new fastener (Whitworth to Metric 6) and, despite putting through a 5.5mm drill to cut away the old threads, it was barely half-a-turn in, relieve, rinse (Trefolex), repeat. Hard going. The thickness was...

On the Sunset Strip* above NuuKassel (as pronounced) we have had reasonable periods of sunshine. Sustained ones in early June. The real talking point has been the wind. This year, it has been an almost permanent feature, making sunburn on clement days a distinct danger, as you feel cool, but...

Kewl Fitzroy...somewhere I have a print of my similar solution: two floor joists, two sheets of ply, direct chute from first floor window to skip! Yes, lathe and plaster are ghastly to 'pull'. Only exceeded by Bristol builders deciding early in the last century to swop coal dust from incoming...

Diesel soaking (long), A.T.F. and acetone (shorter) or the truly excellent and inspring "Evapo-rust". Or, try electrolysis. On summat that small, 30-60 minutes should be enough.

Look at the date, Robin!

Terry in Somerset? "20% of UK housing units (5.8m) were built before 2019 when property was typically built with solid walls".... Ah, no. I think you will find - and builders etc please feel free to correct me - solid walls were phased out from the mid fifties on. There is no way in God's...
