Bear in mind that sawdust can be quite explosive in density and exposed to naked flame/spark. It's also bad for one's lungs. I hope the suggestion is not blowing it out into the general atmosphere but is 'bagging' it. Blowing any of it into the atmosphere would be/is 'pretty poor form old...

Some pretty good advice given including replacing the tree. This doesn't sound healthy "recently developed a "leak" of brownish watery liquid "...noting 'recently' . I doubt that is sap. The questioner could take a sample scraping to an horticultural product laboratory for bio-analysis or...

I appreciate you can do your own research, just thought to give some URL's with a variety of muse-material. Before that, in my opinion ceiling fans are a waste of time or worse unless there is airflow in the cavity into which they usually expel air. They otherwise and maybe 'even so' deposit...

...and learn how to properly use taps and dies. Lubricate the operation. The equivalent of 'Trefolex' which I used copiously as an apprentice I have found difficult to buy however a great deal of local heat is generated at the edge in cutting so a suitable coolant/lubricant is 'essential'...

Old workshop vices....sounds interesting so from an old song "what goes on behind the greeeeeen door"...or do you mean vyces? those clamping arrangements (chuckles)

You could make inquiry of your surveyor board. Some old codger might have an instant answer. Army mapping might also take an interest for you.

My thought on the use is whether involved to map-measure point-to-point distance for artillary trajectory calculation. It's not a precision tool but would be within the margin of error for that purpose.

I agree with you on this framing concept and not drilling into the sandstone *the sandston may not be a very hard variety, nevertheless what is being proposed is not, in my view considerate treatment of the building or its neighbours. I also wonder whether you'll leave the doors open, forcing...

HI...some very good advice there... Circumspect of Chinese gear I nevertheless grabbed an 'electronic' helmet recently at Bunnings ...$49.00...interestingly the boiler maker who recently did some work for me had the same type of helmet...look a bit like a speedster helmet. One thing...may...

Thanks for that 'heads-up' on the date Phil...much appreciated.

Oh dear......are you the person who protested someone else was ignorant a few comments back?... Perhaps you should think about being less 'in control' of intellectual stream and more about maturing in your own thinking. As a professional in OHSE my comment then and now is sensible as a'maybe'...

Absolutely agree Mike.

Hi..Utube also has some of the worst techniques and most outlandish claims for them in its money grubbing 'subscribe' features.. Better to learn from a professional.

Hi wasn't the caution with Pewter its lead content? It was very easy to deform. Modern Pewter has gone away from using lead but if 'recycling' old pewter be aware of the possible lead effects.

The 'sharp at purchase idea seems good...but its possibly caution that prevents it. I have to sharpen all tools after purchase however as an OHSE 'type' I think that not having blades sharpened to 'really good edge' at the store may actually prevent some injuries when people thumb test the...

To give an idea, a boilermaker who recently did some work for me used and an ancient 180A gas-less MIG. You may be aware that boilermakers especially having been approved with X-Ray are the cream of welders.Getting the current spot-on is a great part of good welding however penetration and width...

It's not correct to use 20 Amp outlets on a 16 Amp circuit. It stands to reason does it not?...Same issue as with the previous saw connection I an others examined. Your saw may need a motor start breaker or fuse. Your General Purpose outlets must have 30 mA RCD's. I am unsure of UK but here...

As you earlier asked about 'combo'.... Glossary :Combo..also known as RCDO is a combination overload breaker with integral RCD (Residual Current Device commonly known as a 'safety-switch'). The switched plug sockets on the circuit, or any circuit, are known as GPO's (general purpose...

Hi John...do you differentiate between cramps (not the human body type) and clamps? Those screw types were referred-to as 'cramps' when I was a lad. The ratchet types of the modern era were called clamps.

Hi...Yes it means something...good on you for acting sensibly. Show him my comments if you want. Ask him also to make sure it is a 'solid earth' to your saw and at your saw. You will get better longevity by permanent connection of the saw that drawing starting current well in excess of the...
