My gas meter is inside the porch, which is usually locked. Is this an issue? Never heard of any requirement for the gas company to have access.

I have a cheap coffee table I bought from Argos that's solid Sissoo so it might be some sort of rosewood at least. I was not expecting my Argos table to be covered by CITES and yet it is now. :shock:

You should be fine with mild detergents (like washing up liquid) on a well seasoned pan, dishwasher is not a good idea. A good oil to use is flaxseed oil (i.e. food grade linseed) as it will dry and form a seasoning coat more easily than normal oils.

It should, and does in my glue bottle at least. I stop squeezing and the glue in the nozzle is sucked back into the bottle by the bottle trying to return to its natural shape.

I think it's £25 for things shipped into the country (i.e. something posted), the higher limit is for things you bring back in person.

I have a set of wooden handled footprint chisels from ebay that are my main set. I find them nice in the hand and they hold an edge just fine for my purposes.

I typoed the length, he spotted it was different from my previous order and queried before making them. Top notch service. =D>

In working my way through 10 cube of their oak at the moment. Been good quality so far. Related, has anyone tried the Quatersawn Oak Company in Edale? The clue is in the name, website says £55 a cube for waney edge quarter sawn which seems pretty decent.

You could use rare earth magnets rather than spring clips for a more hidden apparence I'd think. You'd need steel strips embedded in the shelf though.

I have the slightly larger model with power take off. It's adequate for tools and small machines, but it's not great and you won't get full extraction on anything larger than a router. For instance it doesn't fully collect from my circular saw (but that's also probably the saw itself) nor from...

I like these, they're tougher than most gloves so don't tend to tear at inconvenient times. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B005ELVMHU

I think the tape would likely break the strips too. 3mm square isn't going to be very strong. How much do you need? Is it possible to rip oversize and plane to size?

I'm afraid the answer is bandsaw, they're just much better at this sort of thing. You're basically asking why it's so hard to put pins in with a sledge hammer.

I use a cheapy circular saw and a straight edge. (homer)

My Record 52½ has a 1" by ⅛" rocker bar, so I think you're on the right track there.

Hand plane would be quicker than a file for rough shaping. Interested to see how you get on though.

91/64" is very specific. More likely to be 3/2" I'd have thought.

Hmm, I'd been considering getting one, better get cracking before they get silly.

The clear plastic that will likely crack within a few years... :|

Looks a lot like my birch firewood when cut. Assuming a UK pallet there's not much else it's likely to be as that doesn't look like a typical pallet softwood. I made my PS workbench from the cheapest whitewood - it has the advantage that it's very easy to plane so you can lash it together more...
