Yes... but that's no good if the ruler is inconsistent with itself - i.e. if the error is not uniformly distributed on the rule. Also there are lots of times where dimension A is measured with one device (say a tape for length), dimension B uses another (e.g. a ruler for width) and C for a...

Apologies. Didn't see that.

If you want to identify the variety of poplar of your tree, a picture of the whole tree, to show it's form and a picture of the stem showing the bark would help.

It's poplar. A picture of the stem and form would help. It's definitely not beech, birch or aspen.

Well. Not really a problem either is it? If you use the same ruler or measuring device for all the measurements on a given project and always measure from zero with the numbers increasing toward the end of the ruler then all your measurements will be correct, relevant to each other, or will...

You wouldn't know, you weren't there man.

With you all the way on that one. For me fresh peas are best in pea and mint soup.

Buy a pair of Molegrips as well. You'll hully be able to ring them up then!

I bought a set of the aforementioned Stanley chisels on Ebay after reading Trevanion's post. As it happens they turned up in good condition and as sharp as a sharp thing. I haven't used them yet but they seem well balanced. I have some oak that needs some mortices cutting in so I'll see how...

Could you fill it with Fenn traps a' la Tom and Jerry? That would surely deter any thief. Not sure why more people don't do it.

Speaking of sniggering at a funny name... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=teNgQTrv6pE

That tends to be my course of action rather than get wound up, let them pass. More than once I have then caught them up, especially on narrow lanes around the lakes etc. Which is slightly ironic, especially when pulling a heavy trailer.

Bark looks like Aspen.

It's one of those crates that brough Asian Longhorn Beetle into the UK.

eye bogies? That's nothing! Mine likes to eat grass. Extracting that when it gets to the other end is a bit minging

I'm always looking for ways to save time in the workshop. With this tool I can easily reduce my vice closure time from three quarters of a second to a quarter of a second. That's a half a second saving. if I value my time at say £50 per hour, that's a saving of 0.03p (rounded up) per vice...

Doubles up as a beetle costume for Halloween though.

Have a look at Custard's Edge jointing guide. how-to-edge-joint-t112936.html I've made two dining table tops in my time so may not be a complete authority but biscuits and dowels aren't always necessary.

Thanks for the compliment. As an aside, I have been to see Ray Mears "live" at two of his lectures. He is a fascinating guy and an incredible public speaker. If you even have half an interest and the opportunity arises go and see him.
