    How to benefit from smart meters?

    There's a huge amount of electricity theft. Smart meters makes it easier for the suppliers to find where it's going. I'm sure suppliers would prefer to be able to collect payments daily if they could!! Smart meters would allow them to do that. We don't have one. I really can't see any benefit of...

You get technical photographers, who look for the sharpest image, best exposure, perfect focus, perfect colour, but may not worry too much about composition or lighting. Then you get...

    Camera buying advice please

    Times do change. Photography has changed. What you can do now is incredible. I still have a fortune in Canon pro kit, but most of the time, for what I call social photography I use my phone, because I can take a picture and share it immediately. I always have my phone with me, but have to decide...

    Rope Warming

    All I meant there is to fit the resistors vertically up the enclosure. I just noticed it's wooden, so it would have to be replaced by a proper fire enclosure. Still reasonably easy to do, but I see you bought a ceramic heater.

    Rope Warming

    I would purchase a 200W 12V supply UL listed, and replace the bulbs with a vertical array of resistors. Easy peasy!! Use the same housing. Safer than using light bulbs That was a real iffy design safety wise!!

    Replacement pillar drill column and base?

    Is there any chance that the column extends into the box section. Looking at the spec. it's unlikely. I'm sure you can lower the drill head. The column will poke out the top. Swing the upper table out of the way and use the lower table. not very convenient, and not sure how much you will gain...

    Festool with sawstop.

    That is very impressive. I see they all have so much confidence in the design they use sausages to test it. :ROFLMAO:

    COP26 progress or same old

    It was just a question. I wondered if there were still people who don't believe that climate change is happening? If everyone accepts it is, we have to do whatever we can to reverse it. One of the things which is under our control is the reduction of CO2. We should start to see the effect on...

    Is 18mm plywood enough for a cold water tank support base? And what type of ply?

    Having lived in the same house for 40+ years, I have seen the results of things I did years ago, which could have been prevented by doing something very simple at the time. When I do anything now, I think 40 years ahead, so I don't pass on problems to future owners. Remember the risk of water...

    Fine air filter

    These filters are for engine air intake. Large industrial engines. According to a Donaldson air intake catalogue, I think these filters are 'standard' they generally remove around 96% of contaminants. I Really doubt they will filter down to 0.5/1 micron level. I think the filter would need to...

    Best humidifier for unheated garage workshop

    I keep and use some cast iron tools in a detached workshop. I don't heat it. It is well ventilated. I don't have any problems with my planer or table saw, but last winter, my anvil did get a very slight coating of fine rust. I figure it's when the temperature rises rapidly in winter, the...
