Donut chuck is on my list of things to make. Maybe tomorrow.

You can't really build your own laptop because PC tower cases are produced to accept most components, whereas laptop cases are built to house specific hardware. You can upgrade some laptops' hardware, but having built PCs in the past I'd say it isn't worth it. Building a PC is easily the best...

I've had some of the Aldi clamps for about a year now. I didn't bother buying any this time round because one of them has lost its strength and the other one is on its way out. I have some cheap and nasty Irwin ones that I regret buying because it was too much money to spend on tat, and they're...

Osbourne has announced that taxes will go up. Not sure if it's genuine, his way of saying "look what Boris and his mates made me do", or a way to raise public support for more negotiations.

Once every few weeks is a serious understatement. Once every few minutes is more reasonable. If you're turning and you realise that your gouge or scraper or whatever needs sharpening, that probably means you should have sharpened it a couple of minutes ago. I have a Titan grinder from...

My girlfriend went for an MRI scan, or whichever one creates a huge magnetic field. One of the nurses told her that, when they installed it, someone forgot to realise that the staff bicycle parking was right on the other side of the wall, and they ended up with a few mangled bikes at the end of...

I'm not sure he did. If I've come out of this with any respect for anyone it's probably Cameron for calling Boris and Gove's bluff and putting the onus on them to make the next move, when they clearly had no plan and no idea. The issue is that the EU then turned around and called Cameron's bluff...

I'm making a hinged, lidded box for a friend. It's my first box so I'm keeping it simple. He needs it for a specific occasion however I'd like it to be something he can stick on a shelf and reuse. He wants it to be lockable with a padlock. What's the best way to do this, where can I get the...

Custard's prediction was spot on and, to be honest, I like it as a remain voter.

With that petition, 'most' of the votes hadn't been added by bots. They removed 77,000 dodgy ones out of three million votes.

Hilariously, the petition for a second referendum was actually started by a leave supporter who clearly didn't have much confidence in the leave vote winning, and was presumably acting on Farage's idea that 48 - 52 was too close of a margin. By some twist of fate the actual vote was 52 - 48 in...

I know the EU discussion is spilling over in to other threads, but given the fact that imported machinery and timber can be so important to woodworking I do think it is pertinent to talk about the implications. Perhaps we need a specific place on the forum, or just a stickied post, to talk about it.

The piece of wood on the motor end of that eBay listing could either just be a blank mounted for turning, a homemade wooden faceplace or even a block for hot glueing a bowl to. I'd probably guess that it's a blank that hasn't been turned yet, if it was one of the others I'd imagine that the...

Splits will probably take the slices further towards the natural look you're after so I wouldn't worry about it unless there's a specific reason that you need them to be intact.

It probably belongs in the back corner of every dingy pub in the country. At least comments that people may regret later will soon be forgotten rather than recorded for all to see.

Farage said that a 52 - 48 split in favour of remain would have been too close to trust and we should have had a revote. I'm sure he would have been grandstanding if that was the case but instead he's keeping his mouth shut about that. On another note, half my family is Jewish. They left...

Farage previously suggested that a 52 - 48 vote in favour of remain would be grounds for a second referendum. He soon shut his trap about that.

Agreed.

I was being ironic. I voted remain.

Potentially less foreign people you don't know stood in front of you in the queue at Aldi though! (Less documented foreign people anyway)
