If you are just starting out have a look through some of Custard's other previous posts. He certainly helped me along the way with some of his informative and well written postings.

I'm glad you noticed my attempt at a joke. I'll confess it wasn't my best work.

This was all my fault and I apologise.

Are you referring to the thread on drill bits?

Also. No stropping necessary.

Guillotines are easy to sharpen. You just need to make sure you use one of those oval stones with white spirit on, a nice coarse one so that the sound of the stone being slowly dragged across the edge of the blade can be heard from as far away as possible.

Not sure if this translates well into text but here it goes... Knock Knock Who's there? Dunnup Dunnup who? What on my doorstep?

I am far better at identifying wood if the picture also includes at least the bark, but ideally the leaves and a photo taken from a distance of the entire tree. Photos like this for me are just a fun guessing game which I have about a 50/50 success rate at. (or maybe less)

I had the opportunity to visit a police firearms training establishment a few years ago where among other things we were shown videos of police engagements to try to illustrate how quickly armed response officers have to make their decisions based on what they see before them. The videos were...

I was really hoping this was going to be an announcement of a ritzy new programme dedicated to fine rope work.

Only ever used Oregon bars and chains. Nothing wrong with them at all.

Always difficult from a picture but I'm going to vote sycamore.

Persevere with the trapping. Often they can take a while to get used to something new. Airgunning them might work, bait them somewhere that's safe to shoot, peanut butter or something similar that they can't pick up and move and have to eat in situ. Then, get you a coffee, lie in wait and...

Larch or Doug Fir would do what you need.

gflex is incredible stuff. I've never had much success gluing plastic to anything with epoxy. The bond never seems to last. I would look for a mechanical fixing myself as said above.

Would be illegal in the UK.

Tea bags in a bottle of water, leave it in the fridge for four days. Four bottles on rotation, bottle a day. Sell your kettle on ebay and buy a second hand plane with the proceeds then just watch the energy savings pile up.

Or. Just drink cold brew coffee and iced tea.
