Nope, just responding because you clearly did. As you were. ;)

Erm,,,,,, what won't last long exactly, the hot weather or life on earth? Details count. Do you mean the recent cluster of extreme heat in the last few decades or the single one that proceeded this change 80 years prior :rolleyes: This heat is not something to be enjoyed or to not be taking...

Not too bad where we are in South West Wales this year but definitely seen a decline over the last few decades.

There is a direct relationship between released GHG's and the change in climate, therefor it is cause. I get your point in raising this as a discussion but nearly every direct and indirect peer reviewed climatology research paper on the subject has reached the same conclusion, to debate it...

To an extent yes, it is not easy dating post 1961 Stanley planes but then in my experience it's much more of skeet shoot when buying a Stanley from the latter era and I tend to avoid anyhow. The sweet spot for me is the Type 11/12, maybe a 13 if a good example and sometimes a 17 again if a good...

Yeah, I watch Australian media to better understand the ignorance that spills over in the climate discussion.

Apologies, I should have been more specific in my retort; For the record, and for the billionth time to the same endless moronic argument; yes it it has changed in the past, but over millennia, not over the short time spans we are experiencing now without any definitive rationale. Abrupt...

Hmm, that old situation between 99% of all actual scientists concluding that climate collapse is inevitable vs the woodworking forum keyboard warrior who claims to be...... It was this little nugget right here that lead me to believe the veracity of that trained science...... For the record...

I don't doubt it but dropping an off tangent generalisation on Chinese product is a tad 1970's without context.

Yes it does.

I suspect most people just prefer what they have, ended up with or just came by by accident or circumstance. When it comes to tools with such heritage however, the construction period is also going to influence use and ownership. Both marque's have their epochs and downfalls in manufacture over...

That would explain my average day to be fair........I'm not however in the habit of telling people what their state of mind is because I assumed my past experience or qualifications trumped that of others ;)

That's for legal cover, not the responsibility they have for your compliance to building regulations for your building. Indemnity covers you against legal action if your local planning authority serves a building regulation enforcement notice on you. It is meant to cover legal costs and all...

See above ^.

On paper yes, in practice, meh not so much.... The responsibility always ultimately lies with the home owner in regards to building control.

The whole building control and qualified professionals is a bit of a misnomer in reality. As soon as the 'qualified professional' asks you what you want doing it legally becomes your responsibility to define the works. Technically speaking, the tradesman does what you ask not what the buildings...

I see this argument a lot, however it is (as with most counter arguments to reality) rarely thought through beyond the soundbite itself. Less than 4.7% of global research funding is climate related. Taking the US as one example as they are generally pointed to as the climate cash cow, you will...

I have an unhealthy collection of premium planes, including far too many Lie Nielsens within that fold. I received a new Clifton no 4.5 heavy smoother as a birthday gift in the last few years, a black paint variant. Someone who knows more on the history of Q&A and other aspects directly...

The Japanese saw rasp is good for controlled removal of a lot of material, less likely to clog and in some variants they have a better grip (IMO) over standard rasps. Rasps will last as long relevant to quality over use. You can't really answer that question as its open to too many variables...

Too many variables for anyone to give you an answer. I suspect the Holland dealer has sent items to your location before, ask them for approx ETA.
