    Cabinet scrapers

    That looks interesting. How do you use it? Is the angle of the stem to curl the burr over?

    how many swallows does it take to change a lightbulb? VIDEO

    At least finding mud to build with hasn't been a problem this year!

    wadkin PK restoration

    I would not count on it. The ovens we used in the paint industry were all EX rated. Non EX rated ovens definitely have a risk of explosion.

    how many swallows does it take to change a lightbulb? VIDEO

    Beautiful. A really bad breeding season for lots of birds this year...even the ducks haven't enjoyed the weather! I take it that's a chick we can see in the first shot (due to lack of tail streamers)?

    Tennis / Tour de France

    This is my point exactly, after he said he didn't care, he said that it was a hell of a lot harder for him [to play the game than it was for them to watch the game] then he laughed...because it was a joke! Oh and we'll done to Marray and Nielsen.

    Tennis / Tour de France

    The hating the English quote was a joke blown out of proportion by the sh*t media we have in this country. The reason why so many sportsmen (and politicians) are so boring to listen to is that they know journalists will take any interesting/witty/intelligent comment they make and twist it to...

    Resawing

    Just been resawing some 8" sapele this evening. I used a 3tpi rip saw, made sure I sharpened it just before sawing. I only did 2ft though! Didn't feel like I needed to go to the gym afterwards.

    Higgs Boson

    I used to think that the LHC at CERN was a big waste of money, but I changed my mind after visiting it a few years ago. It is such an inspiring place. The engineering has to be seen to be believed. Within the same building they have the hottest place in the universe and one of the coldest. The...

    Fancy a ride?

    Very disappointed to see that it's photoshopped! Used to be the case that a photograph was the best evidence for the existence of something. Now my kids assume every photo of something spectacular has been photoshopped or it's CGI.

    Laminating plywood

    I always thought that the reason for an odd number of layers was that the two faces have grain running in the same direction. I would have thought that an even number of layers would have been dimensionally more stable (very slightly).

    Cleaning up a Spray gun

    If you're using waterborne paints, the the most important advice is clean it with water immediately. If you clean up before it's stared to dry it's pretty easy to clean (you can use some washing up liquid in the water which will help). I would normally clean out the pot, then run the water...

    The BEST '*****' Compilation

    Makes me feel a bit queasy when I think that some of those people would not have walked away from their stupidity. Still natural selection in action. I like the wins better (most of these people are just as stupid though!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or2GH3CHXqY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
