Thanks for the advice. My cousin in Canada showed me an aero-press which she and her husband used when they traveled. It looked good and did produce a half decent cup of caffeine. Our major traveling days are probably close to their end, though I did promise US a return visit to Italy - Venice...

That's good to know - about your new NHS aids. My single unit was through the NHS and was only any good when everything was quiet, then it would give me sufficient additional hearing capacity to make wearing it worthwhile. However, when our family was all gathered (all 10 of them), each raising...

Good to know I'm not alone. I guess I feel the same too, about the snob value of buying top of the so called range of tools, machines and equipment. If item a). at 49.99 from a certain (mainly) food store, is able to produce broadly similar results as the same (or very similar) Chinese clone...

I've been faced by exactly this challenge a number of times, and not being a router fan, used the quick and dirty method that you mentioned. I refer to using the pillar drill. I remove the pilot drill, clamp my workpiece to the table with a piece of scrap between workpiece and table. Then, with...
