    Plug cutters and stainless threaded inserts.

    This has come up a couple of times this year, each time I have recommended Helicoil wood thread inserts. I've been using them for about 30 years and never had a problem. available below...

    Queen Elizabeth has passed away.

    Rule two for abrahamic religions is not actually "thou shalt not kill" but "though shall not murder" in the original Hebrew/Aramaic, with kill coming in to vogue in the KJ translation/print. Personally I'd go for the sinners bible with the rule "Thou shall commit adultery"

    ID of veneer needed to restore this box please?

    looks like mahogany with a dark shellac coloured finish to me. Look at getting some lightish veneer and using Colron dyes to get a colour match on samples before actually gluing up

    Queen Elizabeth has passed away.

    She probably wasn't interested in politics at all. After all during her life she had around 20 chances to take part and never voted once. Mind you as far as I am aware the monarch and immediate heir are the only Britons who are actually forbidden from voting on reaching their majority

    Dashboard / Facia warped how to flatten?

    Make yourself up some of this - 3 parts water, 2 parts yellow glue, 1 part vegetable glycerin and give it a good mix then spray it on the veneer to soak in and leave overnight then just iron flat and place between 2 sheets of blank newsprint (chipshop paper) and squeeze under boards with clamps...

    Queen Elizabeth has passed away.

    Is it the fact that it is not a christian expression, that you target me specifically? After all, all those who express she RIP etc are expressing a specifically christian religious belief and saying, why are you not trying to bring them to task? Perchance you are just a hypocrite.

    Please teach me about planes

    About using the planes themselves, 1. just make sure that the toe, heel and the area both immediately forward and to the rear of the mouth are level in the same plane of reference.
