if someone leaves a car on your land, just fill in the application for a V5 in your name online. The current named person is sent notification and has 14 days to respond if no notification of sale has been received by DVLA on r4cceipt of your application. Once the new paperwork arrives do what...

They aren't meant to be placed directly on the board being planed. have a look at the Pics below to see how to use them for planing. Although being used on a carcass the principle is the same for boards. 1. put a bench dog in a hole and butt the board up against it 2. use a notched stick at the...

Get a SodaStream and fizz your own. Use your empty pop bottles to put it in and keep it in the fridge. DO NOT however try to fizz milk, unless you want a new kitchen. I experimented with this as a kid (the SodaStream exploded) and the resulting residual smell even after everything was washed...

Just a thought, try taking it to your local chinese takeawy. It doesn't matter what version of chinese they speak, the beauty of the writting system is that the ideogram means the same thing in each dialect. The biggest achievement of the Chin dynasty was the empire wide introduction of the...

To the OP, do a search for the thread by "Custard" of this parish on how to edge joint. it is clear and concise with pictures and is written by one of the most experienced, qualified and talented woodworkers I know of. He is an ex Barnsley workshop apprentice, you may not be aware of this...

I've always understood chatoyance to mean the that the wood is reflective. When you look at wood from with the grain direction and then along against the grain the level of chatoyance is very different. Just as with a velvet rug etc. The chatoyance has nothing to do with the actual grain...

Check around for people chucking out old kitchen tops and cabinets and repurpose them. Free bar a bit of elbow grease

@baldkev I think Donald's post was in answer to mine about tea helping lower my iron intake. Re Choccy Ds sadly no, too much sugar

I can never remember if its P38 or 40 but that's what i have used for years on anything getting painted. As i've mentioned before when moulding MDF edges i get the shape I want and then give a skim coat of filler and then a final pass of the router and 99% of the time I get a perfectly smooth...

The biggest fallacy in all the arguments both for and against is that it's about saving the planet. It's not. It's about saving modern civilization and lifestyles. If we screw it up (and we probably will), our extinction or massive culling that will arise will give the planet plenty of time to...

Isopon P40 is what I use for MDF and Ply. PVA and sawdust for real wood

A bit more useful than their electric version

☝bang on

Looks far more like Elm to me than Teak. As said above a board with a ripple grain to it, very nice bit of wood.the effect can be seen most prominently in sycamore below

You've got me thinkdreaming now @Ollie78 Who needs fence stops when you can have x, y & z for accuracy and repeatability. Oh buggeration, now I need to find an Australian CNC to use in a router table

Have a watch of these vids, the length Piotr goes to to get the best finish and accuracy is insane at times (he built his own CNC router using granite slabs for the frames), but he knows his stuff

Old gym mats and bamboo 25mm engineered clicksnap boards. My little hovel used to be a works shower room so floor has a bit of a dip in the middle and the mats are dense enough to insulate and cope with the dip. They came from a Tai Chi place that closed down free on TrashNothing

Bet he doesn't drink Carling black label

A pity it has taken 50 years since the first scientifically based warnings were given to the fossil fuel and plastics industries by their own research teams for those and all the subsequent ones to be noticed and believed. If we had taken action went it was first shown to be a provable fact...
