Same here - we live out in the sticks and have no prospect of a fibre connection anytime soon, but get decent speeds (good enough for us anyway, typically 30 - 50 mbps) on 4G+. Costs £17 per month (but had to buy a suitable router, about £100 i think). Obviously thats only going to work for...

Axminster in Nuneaton is not too much of a stretch from Shrewsbury (I live near Telford and have been a few times) and they'll have a good selection of all the things you're looking for on display.

We have a large pig unit near here, and used to be plagued by the stench when it was slurry spreading time. As it happened, we had a delivery driver from Holland arrive one day when this was happening, and he was shocked that it was allowed, because in Holland the farmers are required by law...

Unless you can get to handle the tools in a shop, and look at the label, I don't think you'll be able to choose....I have several blue Bosch tools, made in Malaysia, China, and even Switzerland! I have a Metabo sander which was made in Germany. I imagine the 'what gets made where' decision...

I have the G version and it does indeed run on the Bosch/Mafell style guide rails. It also has the great big slot that you can see on Tritons pic, so I've always assumed that meant it would also run on some other style of rail, but I've never tested that theory.

Yes, you can get external 4G aerials. We considered that as an upgrade, but tbh our requirements are pretty modest, and 20 mbps from the router is plenty! There's a website (cellmapper.net) which shows all your local cell masts, and the areas covered by each company's cells from those masts -...

We ditched our landline a few months ago (broadband from that was typically 3 - 4 mbps) and went 4G with Smarty (the budget arm of Three). So far, so good - Smarty is cheaper per month than our landline used to cost, and we get speeds in the low 20's mbps.

1. How to bed the unit. Can I just fill the frame with neutral cure silicone and push the unit in? Yes, I bed mine fully, back, sides, front, so the DG unit is fully enclosed by silicon. 2. There is only a 1mm gap round the unit. Most sites show a 2mm gap at the base with packers. Is this...

I have that drill press - its absolutely fine, does everything I ask of it. Just be aware its blimmin' heavy - just about a one man lift, but would be a lot easier with help!

I had that machine too, but sent it back for that same fault - tried 2 remotes but both were very flakey. Replaced it with an Axminster machine (which has an RF remote rather than IR) and thats better - but still needs to be within a foot or two of the machine to work!

Propagating bench, or bench for an alpine house ? If so, I made some maybe 20 years ago with ordinary timber, painted with whatever preservative B&Q had in stock at the time, and lined with builders polythene. Still holding up!

I get all my timber from Potters of Nantwich. About 45 mins from here so not exactly convenient, but a terrific place with a huge range of timber. I always use their unsorted redwood for faceframes, but they do list tulipwood if you fancy trying that.

"Shropshire hidden jewel in England ". Shhh! We need to keep it that way !

You mean the wheel kit ? It works pretty well, but I only move mine from time to time if I need to cut very long stuff. If I were wanting to shuffle it around more frequently, I'd probably consider a full mobile base. My workshop floor is tamped concrete, so smooth (ish)!

As it happens, I know someone who knows a bit about this stuff....the study that the OP mentioned above is interesting, but a long way from conclusive in its findings - they did see elongation of telomeres, and this is something which is expected to influence longevity, but there is no evidence...

'...apparently the first anti-aging study using them has just been published...' Where? By who?

Hori hori knives have become very popular in recent years, if you want to treat her, get a Niwaki brand one. They're the db's (gardening equivalent to Festool!). Also, second the vote for Felco secateurs - expensive, but genuinely life time tools. I think Felco no 6 is a slightly smaller...

There are a couple of videos on the Hooked on Wood channel on youtube talking about this problem :

There was a clinical trial completed in Spain just a few weeks ago where covid patients were given big doses of vit D when they were admitted to hospital. It was a proper randomised control trial where one group of patients got 'normal' treatment for covid, the other group were dosed up with...
