    Gold Mallet/Milk bottle Mallet

    That’s the right stuff. If you are fussed about the colour, put the stuff you want for the colour around the edge of your mould, and put the white stuff in the core.

    If I wanted to learn Blacksmithing, where do I start?

    I spent a day at Fransham Forge in Norfolk earlier in the year. Managed to get the basics and make a poker, burger flipper, leaf necklace and a dish. The bloke that runs it is a real character ( :D ) and has shepherds huts on site as accommodation.

    Soundproofing attempt! Enclosure for a noisy dust extractor

    That’s Science! :D I had three years doing a PhD that was exactly like that. Come up with a good idea, design an experiment, look at results...come up with a new idea. Could be turbulent flow, or restriction of air flow due to narrower exhaust making the motor work harder. That could be what...

    cc or ml?

    yes, 1ml = 1cm3. The litre isn’t a proper SI unit, so in scientific circles the ml is frowned on compared to the cm3. That’s why chemists measure liquid volumes in decimetre3 (which is actually a litre). For a while I was tracking my car fuel consumption in a log book using a conversion factor...

    For me the two most important power tools are a bandsaw and a planer thicknesser, because resawing and dimensioning are the two most tedious and exhausting processes in any project. Once they are out of the way, the fun starts.

    ID please?

    Looks like the cup and lid are designed for compressing something, like a tamper. I’m going to guess it’s for producing ground bait pellets that will sink in the water, but I know nothing about fishing!

    A plea to the moderators and Charley
