    Amazon Alexa and smart plugs in workshop

    All well and good until your internet goes down and/or your router goes pop! Surely with extractors or filters they will only be on when required so the old manual switch would be best (and probably better for the pocket considering the pending UK energy price increases).

    Flat or chamfered?

    If the land that the timber sits on has the same gap where all the slats will fit I would chamfer but, if not, then no. After all it's a garden bench which is very unlikely to be displayed in the V&A! :D

    I found an old Formica covered ply kitchen table on Freecycle which I will be repurposing for my router table in due course.

    So, do most of you use sketch up for your designs?

    Has to be drawing board and associated gubbins for me as well like wot I used to use designing large heating & a/c systems. Tickled us when CAD was in it's infancy and the artichoke's drawings showed dimensions to 2 decimal places e.g 1112.16cm instead of 1110cm. Like the contractors were going...

    Diamond or oilstone/wetstone for sharpening hand planes etc and what grade.

    I have re-purposed a couple of leather belts (that seem to have shrunk! :oops::() and stuck them to a couple of 2x1 PAR sticks. Works a treat for my chisels.

    Things that bug you!!

    The onus is on the buyer(who is also the importer) to pay the duty not the seller. If sellers advertised that duty has to be paid the buyer may go elsewhere and the seller looses the sale. The bottom line rules!

    Stuck ball valve

    Agreed, those cheapo ones earnt me good coin during my 40+ years of plumbing. :cool: Always back off the handle of a stopcock or gate valve by half a turn to prevent the threads locking up.(y)

    GluBot replacement gaskets

    Any chance of dimensions of the original gasket i.e overall dia, hole dia, thickness, material which may help in finding something to suit? Is it a flat gasket or an o-ring?

    Soldering metal ring

    Exactly what I do when our (2 x GSD) leads wear through. It's surprisingly therapeutic as well (on top of earning many brownie points!).

    Cathodic protection for cast iron

    Perhaps the cast iron used in the Record unit is of better quality than that used in the Axminster unit. I fancy you will need a lot of condensation present for the cathodic protection circuit to even think about working. Maybe a word with Axminster would be in order.

    Inside The Factory

    Ahh, the old Time & Motion person. The bane of many a manufacturing company sadly.

    Quick "How to" please

    Rather than screw through the rear panel maybe form some small recesses in the underside of the shelves for the cut off screws to rest in and not being visible. You would need 4 screws per shelf for this though.

    Quick "How to" please

    Maybe time to invest in a Dremel and a 575 angle adapter.:cool:
