I took the plunge on the Dewalt Tough System 2 three box/trolley when there were special offers on at Screwfix. Very well made and effective sealing from damp etc. Christmas present of a couple of the insert trays and the next step will be shadow foam.

Always bear in mind that concrete can take up to 28 days to full cure too

Have a chat with Keith Irwin of Treecycle…based in Ormskirk area - great guy would can mill to the thickness you need too.

The sono tubes used thick compressed cardboard) are designed to hold the bored or dug hole open whilst the concrete sets …particularly on softer soils, The cardboard of course will degrade with the ground moisture and water from the concrete thus generating the concrete to ground high friction...

I to live with hoarder …again driven by childhood issues. Not to the extent you have Stig as the lounge etc does get cleared periodically….but we have two double garages …and my woodwork kit etc is crammed into 2/3 of one side of one of the. I hint at needing space but it’s a very painful...

Most people mark out a bow tie….hogg out the centre with a router fitted with a straight bit, then finish off with a chisel - myself included.

A) I’m not on Facebrag B) I view lots of YouTube footage as contrived C) BBC & other news reports have shown fire brigade footage of the pyrotechnics involved in a runaway thermal reaction on scooter batteries

Modern fuel tanks do not explode ….plastic has a lower burst pressure than steel and melts/ruptures before pressure can build up….unless of course you believe what you see on Tv and in films ! And have you seen the speed at which a lithium battery erupts in flames …scary

Just ask if you need any tips etc. I’m working on a sequoia waterfall table soon so I’ll post up a thread on it with my surface treatment style.

The acrylic is just to seal the surface and any that is not absorbed by the wood is removed by the 240 grit sanding after it has dried. My surface treatment of choice is the occasionally quoted on here ..Mikes Magic Mix 33% white spirit/pure tung oil/outdoor satin varnish - I add in around 5%...

For a good gloss surface …without looking like the horrible USA highly reflective acrylic etc, I would sand to 240 grit then seal the surface with a thin layer of acrylic. Once dried sand again at 240 grit then apply layers of finish sanding at finer levels between each coat until you last...

Looks like at its oldest it would be Victorian ….Pilkingtons was founded in 1826 making crown glass (Late Georgian era) and that glass is far to good optically to be from that era. In a past life I spent 13 years in R&D in the glass industry…just to qualify my comments

After a trip back to my wood milling contact in Lancashire…here is the one of Bosse discs …approx 700mm x 50 mm after a quick run over with 120 grit on the belt sander

Your local recycling centre can be quite difficult with chemicals etc …..I’ve turned up with a butane blowtorch canister ….‘can’t take that sir’ - I’ll chuck it in the hedge was my response and he replied ….well just this time 😂😂😂😂

I’m not sure your water company would recommend you ‘just poring them’ down the drain etc ….probelms can occur
