    When to change filter in air cleaner?

    They are supposedly cleanable, blowing them out with compressed air or washing - brief instructions in the manual, if I remember correctly. If you've already done that but think they need replacing, then they probably do...

    Electric vehicles

    We have solar panels on the barn roof, take full advantage of cheap night-time electric too, but I'd still like to have panels on the car as well.

    Electric vehicles

    Depending on the amount of sunshine of course - and I say that as a huge fan of electric cars. Also of course, they won't get much of a charge if you have to park on one of the covered decks of a multi-storey...

    UK source for sanding belts 75 x 533, 180 grit for kitchen knife sharpening etc?

    I use 240 grit aluminium oxide for all my sharpening, follow up with a strop for the important things - does the job just fine, but don't forget to run it slow...

    A smoking ban?

    It does seem odd that we're allowed to grow both of these sources of very addictive drugs, yet if you or I were to grow a little weed, we'd be be in trouble. No accounting for the laws in this country, especially when you consider it used to be compulsory to grow hemp!

    Carving chisels - starter advice

    When I started, I bought unhandled tools from Ashley Iles and made the handles myself. I like the fact that you can fit the handles to your hand and balance and make each one a little different, with burnt-in lines or whatever - it eventually means you can identify some of the tools you use a...

    A smoking ban?

    Has there been any mention of hitting the grow-your-own crowd? At the moment, as I understand it, you can grow as much as you like for your own consumption (which may or may not be a bit of word play...)

    A smoking ban?

    A wish to look cool when I was a kid. I suspect the same is true of a lot of people. I carried on because it only takes the very first few to get addicted.

    Moving heavy machinery

    If it's a concrete floor, can you not get some scaffold poles or similar underneath them and roll them?

    Wild fires in BC Canada.

    ...And what is the general trend, climate-wise, over the last three decades?

    What do you think?

    Because he's an "artist", dahhhling! Seriously, if he can get away with it, then good luck to him, he's only taking money from people that have too much anyway.

    Wild fires in BC Canada.

    Think I might start selling buckets of sand - big enough to bury the average head in of course, should make a killing...

    A smoking ban?

    Peculiar isn't it? Tastes horrid, makes you stink, makes you feel sick the first few times you do it and for ever after that, just makes you feel bad if you don't get your hit. There are so many more pleasant drugs out there, it makes me wonder how it ever became popular. (30 years without...

    Powered Respiratory Protection

    Couldn't have written that any better - brilliant bit of kit! And the ear goggles sit nicely, but as stated above, with the headband around the back of the head instead of over the top, but it makes little difference to the comfort.

    A smoking ban?

    My Mum, now in her nineties, has always suffered with asthma. When she was a late teenager, her doctor told her to smoke **** to "promote a healthy cough to clear her lungs"!

    A smoking ban?

    Be interesting to see in 60 or 70 years, when people in the 70's and 80's are getting asked for proof of age... I don't really think it's enforceable and anyway, there are far too many things prohibited. All it will do is put money in the hands of the bad boys, just like it does with weed...

    Co2 in the home

    They let out oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis, also a small amount of CO2. During the night, they give out more CO2 and no oxygen - at least, that's how I understood it at school...
