    Steaming wood

    It's not the water but the heat in the steam that softens the lignin to enable you to bend wood. The big one above has gone through a process where it is in a sealed container that applies hydraulic pressure to shrink the wood along its length. Once cooled it lets the wood bend more easily

    COP26 progress or same old

    Perhaps he left them out as the MWP has not been fully agreed upon to be regarded as in fact having truly happened as there is nowhere near enough consencous on the evidence for it. The LIA was possibly left out as the general agreement is that is was an abberation caused by a particularly...

    COP26 progress or same old

    @Istrickl Though CO2 is the poster boy of the CC debate, it is only in conjunction with the other far more "active" gases released alongside and as a result of human industrialization and fossil fuel use that we can say the problem is man made. Yes these swings and changes happen all the time...

    Veneer flattening

    Nearly all my stuff is veneered in some way or another and I use the same process as Scott Grove. The big advantage to Scotts way is that the softening mix also acts as a rejuvenater for old dry veneers and allows for long term storage without having to worry about the flatness of the veneer for...

    Recommendations for wood moisture meters?

    I have heard that the one lidl sells,when they have it, is surprisingly accurate. Even seem to remember someone on youtube saying they buy a few and give them to clients or supplers, something like that

    COP26 progress or same old

    That is one of the biggest logical fallacies I have read in this "debate". If you and all the other car manufacturers made the most eco cars you could and stopped making any dino burners at all people would buy them. After all if you wanted to buy oranges but they were now extinct (no longer...

    What do you collect

    I used to collect 2000AD as a kid and had the full first 600 all in mint condition, then not long after I joined up and my mum gave them to a couple of cub scouts for their jumble sale. I was not amused, she said "Ach your too old fer comics anyway". Little did she no at the time the first...

    HELP NEEDED ON SCROLL SAW PURCHASE

    Both the Excalibur and Hegner can use pinless and pinned blades, both machines also have a quick release clamp for easy blade changing (makes a massive difference to the enjoyment of using the saw). The above is the Hegner clone. The fact it is from the trade range is good as the craft range has...

    Abandoned car

    not had any problems in that regard. I would imagine it's due to DVLA not receiving any challenge to the V5 request. In my case all the cars had been sitting for over 6 months in the jags case 5 years.

    HELP NEEDED ON SCROLL SAW PURCHASE

    Hi and welcome. The Hegner is regarded as the Rolls Royce of scroll saws and is indeed a well built quality machine. Of similar quality and with a perhaps useful feature for your hubby could be the Excalibur made by General International. Unlike most saw, rather than tilting the table the...
