I'll suggest The Big Moon if you're not already familiar, if you close your eyes you can easily imagine you're listening to Sleeper. All female up and coming band, sadly a bit late for Indie to be fashionable. I saw them live at Preston Guild Hall perhaps four or five years ago; I would love to...

??? Its variable speed.

Direct link to the Dremel since it seems to have disappeared from the listings now. https://cpc.farnell.com/duratool/d03229/mini-grinder-drill-kit/dp/TL1969969

Just had this delivered today. Far better than you have the right to expect for the money, in substance as good as any of the others I've seen. Nice blow moulded case. Accessories a bit sparse (e.g. no flexi drive) but the only big ommission is alternative size collets. If you've never heard of...

But what's the voltage rating? My guess is those are 30V AC/60V DC - i.e. intrinsically safe. The probe tip is one clue. The lack of shrouded plugs is another. They're so neatly coiled around the handles I assume they were shipped like that - mains rated ones probably wouldn't be, it would be...

My gut feel is this is overengineered if you are using a "sensible" design to begin with. Are the feet anchored in place or the entire thing potentially moveable? Are there are walls this can be secured to to prevent racking? My sense is you need either something at the bottom to prevent...

According to Wikipedia the default for X.org maps the Compose key to Shift-AltGr so I'd try that in the first instance, so e.g Shift-AltGr , c (That's Shift and AltGr together, followed by comma, followed by "c") would give you a c-cedilla. Not in front of a Unix system right now and even...

Any X server you are likely to encounter will natively support a compose key, allowing similar digraph-based entry. Not too sure about Wayland so it may depend on the distribution.

Yes of course. I just had visions of the discussion going into the toilet if it wasn't addressed. For my own part I don't want anyone to feel I was accusing anyone of anything, it was more of a "calm down before anyone gets upset" thing.

Yes, this is one of those things that people can get passionate about, my way is the right way and all that. Truth be told most of it is knack. The most useful thing about spending the money is it provides the impetus to look into technique and invest the time to pick up the knack. I actually...

It's me that raised it. Possibly a bit early but I'd prefer to do that than things become ungentlemanly. I'm making a fuss over nothing but no one has fallen out.

Welcome to the group. There's all abilities and interests here, in any case that box looks quite good to me. Sometimes the simplest things like a mitered box are the most challenging - the visual simplicity gives you nowhere to hide for any small mistakes along the way.

Can I suggest a little calmness and decorum please? With the greatest of respect this does seem to be flying off the handle at an offhand comment from Scrimper. The Chinese, Taiwanese, Malays etc are all capable of exceptional workmanship, just look where iPhones etc are made for evidence of...

Are you talking about the pads themselves or the mounting plate here? It isn't clear here. Personally I'm using a Bosch plate and cheap delta pads from CPC, "Toolpak" they are branded. Never had any issues at all, the paper getting irretrievably clogged is the limiting factor in my experience...

Looking at the website now I see three Axi branded saws. The cheap one is much the same as any of the other sub £200 models although it does have a proper hold down foot. Most users take them off once they hit a certain level of experience but before then one is infinitely preferable to those...

In my book there are two sets that may fit the bill, I'll define the meaning so we are clear on my usage. Jewellers screwdriver sets cover the range perhaps 1-3mm slotted and PH00-1 Phillips. Available for cheap but you take your chances, if you want known quality you are spending £50-150...

It depends primarily on the thickness to be cut, there is a blade selection guide as a sticky in the scroll saw area. The coarser the blade the more robust it is but the less tight a corner it will take, although any fretsaw blade will be finer and more delicate than a coping saw blade. If...

Firstly are you sure it's the cushions and not the strapping underneath attached to the frame? That can give way too, in all likelihood you'd need to tip it up and cut out the fabric base to inspect. Secondly like you I noticed this is the kind of thing that is extortionate if bought online, I...

Things work a bit different with coins no matter where they're from, provided they are legal tender somewhere. The design of the coin is in essence the state's stamp of approval, akin to a hallmark. The precious metal coins are (excepting historical examples) valued for their metal content...

Out of interest what did you find on removing the original handle? I'm not a turner myself so if I was to rehandle mine (which I have thought of) it would be an off the shelf file handle. Would I be able to get them to fit without too much fettling? The other alternative is simply to wrap it...
