Oven pride, with a bit of cling film over the top to stop it drying out if our in the open If it’s gotten thick burnt on bits like in photo, careful scraping with a razor blade works well. On horizontal surfaces wiping the run off back up the walls every hour or so helps I concur mr muscle is...

Was about to say the same thing- for OPs benefit iron reacts with tannin in oak to turn it black. Don’t use wire wool. There’s a thread on here with a recipe for a wood reviver for cleaning woodwork on old tools. Similar thing would work well

I’m also intrigued, always assumed it was because it could be tensioned more so manufacturers say why not and publish the higher figure. I managed to snag a Starrett tension gauge on eBay that wasn’t accurately described a while back. Is an absolute luxury but is really nice to be able to take...

Below 60 grit belts really hog but the particles are quite big so you need more speed and motor hp to get them cutting well. Run them full speed and lean in to keep the pressure up on ceramics they need it or will dull quicker (higher pressure fractures grit keeping it sharp and cutting so the...

Really appreciate the offer but I’m happy to sit and watch. Not been a good year for me so probably shouldn’t take on commitments until I’ve sorted some stuff out anyway. Roll on 2022

Darn it, gmail changed their terms so my storage ran out and it knackered my account. Looks like I’ll be watching this year’s event from the sidelines.

Notched isn’t needed as it’s a plain slotted screw (rather than the split nuts typically seen on older saws)
