I just want to come back to the initial query by the OP. The definition of bladed items as I understand by the post office relates to knives IMPORTANT NOTICE: From 22 April 2024 we will be prohibiting ‘Knives or Blades’ defined by s141A Criminal Justice Act 1988 and ‘Bladed Products’ as...

I use them frequently. As a regular eBay seller, I send approx 4 or 5 parcels a month, and there is almost a 100% delivery rate. I have perhaps had 2 or 3 go missing over the last 7 years as an active seller. I also use Parcel Force occasionally of very large or very heavy stuff, and sometimes...

Yes very interesting. I just looked up my local Waterstones and I can get it for 12.99. I would much rather support them than greedy Amazon!

I the house where it came from in the Midlands? I was wondering if the fact that this is an irish company fitting, that somehow one of the large Irish contingent in the Midlands had connections back in Dublin, etc and procured their plumbing fittings for work here? It's very interesting and...

I have always used my Woden jig for jointing. I have also found to does the job quickly and easily.

That's excellent news. Yes I hope it works out for you as well. TBH - I have been wondering for a long time since I retired from my desk job a few years ago, if I could/should make some items - eg small simple boxes/crates for local charity shops. But I have always been afraid of even going in...

I finally had my hearing test this week. My hearing has deteriorated slightly especially in my right ear. So I am promised new more powerful hearing aids - Phonak - which will be controllable via an app and also I wont need the streamer to listen to phone calls or podcasts as these will go...

Yes I would say oak

Thanks for the comments. I haven't sorted the postage issue, but am coming to an arrangement with the customer when I am up close to their neck of the woods seeing family, and will deliver my package then.

Thanks for all the comments! Yes agree a journey may be required when I have sorted the parcel out.

Thanks Brian

I need two post a long parcel - 185 x 46 x15 cm weighing approx 10kg. I have looked at various websites for quotes - including ones like Parcel Monkey, Parcel Hero, etc - and they all seem to say it will be approx £39 - via ParcelForce. All the others like DPD, FedEX, etc won't quote due to the...

I have only just noticed this conversation about HAs. I got Menieres disease back in the mid-1980s (this affects the hearing cells and also causes vertigo & sickness) and as a result I lost a lot of my hearing in my right ear. My left ear hearing was still quite good though so I didn't get a...

Agreed. I think the same. Although I can also see the attraction of this. But its pricy

Just noticed that Record are selling this for bandsaws. Any views? Coronet Cobra Bandsaw Scroll Guide System

I had to replace my first stone as it had worn down over many years. I found that the stone had rusted into the shaft and so had to get a new shaft as well as a new stone. Not a cheap fix! But as said previously use clean water, and always drain the water off at the end of each grind session as...

I like the lid! Never thought of that - I might do that for myself. My existing holder is a real mash up!

I usually use mineral oil for my chopping boards. I usually give them a re-sand every so often to make them smooth again and take out the worst of the cuts I have made in them cutting up veg and fruit! The mineral oil restores the colour for a while and looks nice! I also feel it feeds the wood...

I have found this link to the full text of Hasluck's! Practical plumbers' work, with numerous engravings and diagrams; ed. by Paul N. Hasluck. And I have attached a screenshot of the relevant page about short dummy usage!
