Comparing a gun to the comet that wiped out the dinosaurs is just a tad extreme. Guns need human input to function, they don't come to life magically and kill people. Negligent irresponsible people kill people. Surely you see my point. Your chisels are the same. You wouldn't leave a chisel...

inanimate /ɪnˈanɪmət/ Learn to pronounce adjective not alive. "inanimate objects like stones" showing no sign of life; lifeless. "he was completely inanimate and it was difficult to see if he was breathing" It's not me that was struggling there.

Sorry... This isn't puerile?

I wouldn't have those nasty inanimate objects in my house. You have no idea when they might magically come to life and cause trouble.

I'm a professional deerstalker. I use rifles most days of the week and shotguns most weekends. Guess what? None of those guns have ever gone off of their own volition. They are tools. Inanimate objects. They deserve respect and should be handled responsibly but no more so than a chainsaw or a...

A shotgun. Or any gun. Loaded or not being an inanimate object is never inherently dangerous. The person handling it however...

Really interesting. Do you know whether the catfish you bought off the market is the same species as you had in the states? Does it taste the same?

Catfish?? You can't write that you have a freezer full of catfish without elaboration.

I have used Ashridge trees before and found them to be very good also. Definitely get them ordered and planted soon if you are using bare roots.

Brass if people can see them taking the advice of previous posters. Stainless if they are hidden. Probably not relevant but if you are worried about the strength of brass screws on other projects but want to hide the screws you can always dowel them. Just make sure to line up the grain...

I know where there is an enormous oak burr very similar to that in Cumbria. I'm keeping my eye on that one.

I really really like those. Very tidy work. If I was a tree, I'd want to end up as something like that.

West Systems do a black pigment and then they do filler powders to add to change the properties of their glues try Colloidal silica maybe... https://www.westsystem.com/406-colloidal-silica/ You can fill upside down with that stuff. No need to worry about it running out. That or...

In my view the reason that it isn't standard practice to place loose weights on pieces of wood you are passing over a planer is that it's a daft idea that is potentially more risky than it is beneficial.

Given the prominence of planers and the longevity of their use in both the professional and hobby arena I would suggest that there is probably a really good reason the practice of putting loose weights onto your planing stock hasn't taken hold and become standard practice. That reason is...

I like the being quiet thing and the not having to start your saw in the canopy thing if it cuts out, which it wouldn't because it's electric. I do worry about battery life though, not only in how long a charge lasts but how many charges you get before the battery is knackered.

I like that too. My missus wants me to build us a shoe rack. If you don't mind I will be heavily plagiarising your work.

You won't be able to purchase a new top handle saw in the UK without the vendor having sight of the correct ticket. second hand is another matter but... Unless you are climbing there is no need. If you are climbing then they are great, obviously because that is what they are meant for. I...

Even green timber has been cut. If it was cut when the tree was dormant then made into something, it can take up water if the external environment is more humid/wet than the wood. Similarly I bet there is very little green timber that is cut and then instantly made into something. There will...
