    Best idea is not to listen to it then. Life's too short to suffer things you don't like.

    Joke Thread II

    Being Scottish, I love bagpipes. Most people who dislike bagpipes haven't heard a properly tuned band playing at competition level. My link was to show that even modern techno music can include bagpipes. Some people dislike bagpipes, that's fine.

    DW745 bench saw suddenly stopped working during cutting

    Filter caps are also critical safety components. Y caps are designed to fail open circuit, X caps are designed to fail short circuit. Their performance is tested to ensure predictable behaviour. When they fail, they will remain in a failed condition. As long as no one has changed parts, There...

    African Tongue drum

    I could never learn to play that in my lifetime (or any musical instrument) 😁. As long as it makes a nice noise, I'll be happy

    Mountfield Manor Rotavator issue advice please.

    sounds like a fuel problem. Depending on the engine design, some things which are unlikely, but worth a check. Needle valve sticking? Filter on petrol line inside the tank blocked. There is often a nylon or sintered filter in the tank. Does it have a priming pump, can you see fuel being...

    Fitting a soft start module to Dewalt DW745 table saw

    Just a friendly caution about these modules. There is no way of knowing how they are constructed internally and how they will fail. Since there is no earth, I would treat the whole module as if it has the capability of going live when it fails. Even if the metal has high impedance to all three...

    "Parts near End of Life" message

    Seems Epson have the perfect marketing model. You deign a printer which uses ink. Customers have to buy the ink, some of which ends up in the ink pads and when they are 'full' you need to pay to get Epson to replace the pads. Brilliant!!

    African Tongue drum

    I love it. I want to make one!! 😁 I love stuff like that. It looks like the base is a bowl with the top board screwed to the top. Are the tongues just random lengths/shapes??

    Fitting a soft start module to Dewalt DW745 table saw

    I think if you wanted to start again and did it step by step, people on here could get it working for you. Would need better pictures of your saw wiring, then create a wiring diagram for you based on your wire colours and the Soft start module, But would understand if you couldn't be bothered. I...

    And did you know that in summer when power usage is lower, they use the surplus to drive the turbines like huge fans to keep us cool!

    Bandsaw insert

    If you were cutting large stock without the insert and fingers aren't near, it's probably OK, but I would never cut anything small without the insert. Without support under the wood, it could get dragged down suddenly and fingers could touch the blade. Ouch!! The part below the blade is a...
