I do have to say, that artex stipple brush for a tenner is bloody tempting isn't it?

Brexit in'it, they got to keep all the old rules and live in a normal world, lucky sods

One of the best ways to learn about the bundle of straws we play around with for both beginners and those who think they know about wood is "Cut & Dried" Richard Jones (our very own Sgian Dubh of this parish). It is the result of many decades of research and for me should be regarded as the...

I'm truly sorry if I've caused you to miss any sleep The main reason a Union flag can be upside down is that the flag has 2 lanyards to attach to the halyard on the pole, they are not the same length. The short one is at the top of the flag and ensures the flag is as high as possible on the...

Have a dig around Banggood and Aliexpress, you will probably find the exact same item far cheaper. I noticed about 18 months ago as BG rose in popularity with their woodwork tools Rutlands suddenly had the same tools in a differnt colour for a fair bit more in price. Knowing someone who bought...

yes you are :p You are thinking in 2 planes only, a flag can also be back to front.

i used to have 5 minute conversations that were probably 80% TLAs or pure slang and I still can't point with just my finger. I have to use my hand in a vertical chopping motion, my missus thinks I'm ********

It is a genus of tree and if they insist on it being mahogany then the are trading in a CITES banned wood and are classed the same as ivory poachers

no just a well planned laidout modell of one :p

Well I have reported them to trading standards for false advertising and lying about their goods. I hate these sort of companies, pretentious shills

That is not a mahogany toolbox, its made from birch ply that's been stained.

I'm hoping so and will be launching my new tikshok channel Celluschitte, where I make all the sawdust I mean wooden things you don't need but want to fill the modern home from the rubbish you chucked out last week

I've always found it weird that the Americans use all the old English imperial weights and measures but stones. They only describe their weight in lbs and ounces have a smaller ton 200lbs as opposed to 2240lbs for British. Though on previous research I did find this ***-bit of info: English...

Here in Scotland there is a long tradition of siblings and parents taking the mickey by telling a member of the family the reason they have to do a particular task is that they are adopted and therefore implying they are not really a proper member of the family. but for this cartoon the child is...

Not as far as the Marshall of the Royal College of Arms is concerned. His desicion is final in all heraldic matters and he wears hard pointy shoes to prove it

@artie The thin white stripe is to be on the bottom of the red diagonal stripe in the lower left hand corner https://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/images/downloads/Union_Flag_5-3_guide_v3.pdf

I don't think I could say anything after a bucket of Bovril

People calling the Union Flag the Union Jack when it is not hoisted on a jackstaff on the bow of a RN ship

That entirely depend on what you make. My workshop is 3m x 2.7m with a very weird 67 degree corner for the back wall. I have access to a big SCM panel saw and a massive 12' CNC table if needed but not used much. In that space I have a 2m roubo bench, morticer, bandsaw, pillar drill, 2 x router...
