I get around the space problem with the table saw by opening the door. A circular saw would be much cheaper, but since it is free hand, a bit of a pain to use for many strips, although it would give you a lot a practice with it. The table saw would also do a better job, as the strips would be...

I would use my table saw with a ripping blade. That would be a real pain with a circular (hand held) saw.

Droogs, you are totally correct about new builds, but the problem is that it is not so easy for some of us. I live in a detached 30s house. It has cavity wall downstairs and 2 wythe solid up. I can easily upgrade the loft insulation, but there really isn't much I can easily do about the walls.

I don't think it is totally incorrect. Those pictures make for nice PR, but I don't see how you are going to run any kind of machinery to work around all those poles. Might work on land suitable only for grazing. A much better idea would be this sort of thing: Solar Tiles | Spirit Energy This...

It depends on what you need to do, and where you need to do it. If mostly used in the shop, I would go for corded over cordless for all but small drills. If you do a lot of work with an impact driver, then I would use air, but surely that is not for furniture and turning.

I have seen large versions of the fruit fly bottles for regular flies, and when I googled for a picture I found this, which looks like the same thing, but larger. It is for horse stables.

Well, they could get shutdown prematurely because the of the renewables brigade. If that happens, the additional cost should really be factored into the cost of wind and solar.

The "French" don't have to pay for it, the EDF does, and they have to set aside money for it, which is already in the price of the electricity.

What does that leave for the thicknesser and dust extractor?

Not sure if this helps, but this is from appendix H of the BS-7671 On-site guide (2018): H4 Cooker circuits in household and similar premises The circuit supplies a control switch or a cooker unit complying with BS 4177, which may incorporate a socket-outlet. The rating of the circuit is...

A man walks into a bar and a heated discussion is going on about wind vs nuclear. The nuclear guy keeps referring to the turbines as windmills. Frustrated, the wind guy says "What's the matter with you, don't you even know the difference between a windmill and a wind turbine?" The nuclear guy...

Nuclear power currently has a lower carbon footprint than wind, and it always will. And just because they mine and transport the materials needed for both with diesel today, doesn't mean they can't do it with electricity tomorrow. But there is a limit as to how much they can reduce the carbon...

I hate to say it, but sometimes the French know what they are doing. They also have cleaner air than their neighbors. Nuclear power probably saves them over 1000 deaths per year from particulate matter from fossil and bio fuels, although they still have to deal with the dust blowing in from...

France built 56 reactors in around 15 years in response to the oil crisis of the 70s. They now export power, nuclear is more than 70%, and have less than 10% of generation from fossil fuel. And their power rates are cheaper than the UK, despite a healthy 31% tax. Cheaper and greener.

And yet Ontario generates 60% of its power from nuclear, exports power, and charges 6p/kWh, and that is on top of the nuclear fear mongering cost, which is a probably a few p. Wind farms are just virtue signalling cast in concrete, and will never power the UK in any meaningful way, just like...

Recent nuclear projects in Canada have been scrapped mostly for political reasons, not economic reasons, although the two are often intertwined. I am going to guess you are talking about Darlington. Interesting story that, the anti-nuke lobby managed to get the government to double the cost of...

Haha, if you had worked in Regina, we might have met. When I was in high school, I worked in a form rental shop, and I was the guy delivering the forms and the waler bar.

That is so silly, oil alone be would several orders of magnitude more.

Yes, and people die from all other forms of power generation tech. So far nuclear has the track record of the fewest deaths per terawatthour, with the smallest impact on the environment. And this is with tech mostly developed in the 60-80s.
