You mean like Andrew Wakefield was cited in the context of the safety of the MMR vaccine? Beware of placing trust in individuals, no matter their qualifications. By all means listen to their arguments, but the more they are an outlier to consensus the more one should be sceptical and scrutinise...

You're entirely missing the point. The fact that excess deaths due to Covid are in any way comparable to levels of other serious seasonal disease such as influenza strains is down to the efforts made to limit the spread of the virus. We don't have a parallel UK to trial an experiment of taking...

As per my post above, I'm not advocating blind submission to a higher power in some totalitarian nightmare. I am highlighting as issues an aversion to accepting expert opinion that disagrees with one's own combined with an extraordinary amount of over-confidence in the untrained individual that...

To be clear, I am not advocating a position of blindly following science. I myself am not an expert in medical science but take a keen interest in following what is going on with Covid in an attempt to further my understanding. That members of the public wish to learn and be better informed...

I really despair when reading threads like this. There are tens of thousands of really bright people around the world who have spent their lives working in the relevant specialist fields working on this problem. What thought process occurs in the layman to reach the conclusion that they can...

Used to have a Westwood with a 1cyl Lombardini diesel in it. Yes, they do vibrate a lot, especially at idle, but on that particular machine it didn't affect how it was to use particularly (possibly had very accommodating engine mounts). When running at high speed during operation, it was a lot...

I made a 2.4m shelf of otherwise similar dimensions in my kitchen, full of books and tall jars etc. It is rock solid - fixed to the wall with epoxy bonded studding. The span isn't an issue if you are supporting from the rear of the alcove rather than the sides.

In response to your question, it's been isolated many times - a few examples in this article: Scientists isolate coronavirus strain responsible for deadly Covid-19 outbreak Note also there are several strains and mutations, so if you are looking to pinpoint the achievement of isolation for...

Ah my bad, I was confusing the Uniklamp (which I actually don't have experience of) with the DuoKlamp (of which I own several).

Sebastian, the Bessey Uniklamps you have ordered are fine for general assembly but being the quick-action squeeze type are relatively weak inclamping force (from memory 1500N I think). For more challenging glue-ups, such as closing small gaps in a laminated table top glue up, you'll want...

I feel your pain - similar situation to you with a young family (although I have been fortunate enough to have continued working full-time, from home, throughout recent events). Massive congrats to you for getting so much done in a very short space of time. Don't be too disheartened, the end...

Sebastian, with regards to a router table I would like to suggest you look at the Incra LS fence system. In my opinion, it is by far and away the best system available for a router table because it completely takes the guesswork out of set-up and adjustment. No indeterminate nudges and endless...

I bought a Bosch GST140 which is a lovely jigsaw - when it works. I've had two speed controllers pack up on me after very little use. My experience has been such that I won't go near Bosch tools now. I bought the Makita 4351 to replace it and I'm very happy with it.

I would fit a junction box, which I think is the standard practice for this. Normal twin+earth comes from the house through your wall into the back of the junction box; the SWA enters the junction box through a sealed gland. Junction boxes are like this...

I fitted pattress boxes in my kitchen units for isolators etc, much neater and less disruptive to the cabinet structure to drill a hole for the wires (which you can then hide with the box) than hacking out larger chunks. I really don't see why you would ever need to move the cabinets again...

I can see the problem you have - the mounts for guide bushes are part of the metal frame of the router not the plastic base. I would install the bit with the router plunged and use the plunge lock. You don't want to adjust the bit height in work anyway for this job - it relies on a constant...

The best dowel jig hands down is the Joint Genie. It's very accurate and versatile. If you're looking to make strong joints quickly, you will struggle to do better. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Looks like an interesting challenge - might have a go myself sometime to see if I can manage it in the alloted time including set up. I assume it's intended as a hand tools challenge but that's not me so why not have a go with a modern approach? Will need to get some practice in with my Leigh...

In fairness, the caption to the saw says that are looking for stories describing the item's use rather than an identification of what it is. Identification of an item is one thing, having the history of its origins, details of usage etc is not so easily determined. Sent from my SM-N960F using...
