I recently started using Senna WorkPro earbuds. They filter our the machine noises but I can still hear the things I want. Bit strange at first but use them daily now. About 20 euros a pair with a handy case.

I’m still buying things from the UK, woodworking tools and consumables seem to be much cheaper still than here in France or any EU country that doesn’t hammer on the delivery cost…especially the saw blades I received this week! Any charges on arrival will depend on your local rates and...

Totally subjective answer here but having tried both the Mirka and Festool before committing to buying, all I can say is I own a Festool RO 150 (considering how agressive it is in rotex mode, vibration is very low) and ETS 125/3 (hard to tell it’s switched on!). Vibration was one of the key...

According to the CDC, hispanics have had the best life expectancy since the 1970’s though it’s a well known paradox due to the propensity to on average carry more weight.

It’s more complex than that. Demographics for instance as the top states have higher hispanic/asian/pacific island populations who in the US have significantly higher life expectancy than whites and african-american.

All you need to know about democracy:

I’ve been told for 50 years (be it ice, wind, water or heat) that man-made global climate change will cause this within the next 10yrs, so we’re 40yrs late. The reality now is that and for those 50years it’s always been man-made conflict, man-made oppression, man-made religion, man-made...

Taking the UN top 10 countries of origin for migrants, which account for more than the rest combined, can you point out which ones are because of climate change? Afganistan, Syria, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Haiti, CAR, Honduras, Iraq, DRC, Colombia.

Lies, lies and statistics.…. According to the French government (and the UNHCR), the number for France 2021 should be 11.2. It makes us 5th or 6th in terms of destination country, just ahead of UK. HOWEVER, these 2 countries such a high proportion of migrants don‘t actually claim asylum...

Sometimes funny reading this sort of thing from France. Half UK is delusional, other half ignorant re the channel crossings. I think the UK media is as guilty as the politicians for that. Not once have I seen any UK stats or opinion that matches the reality visible from the window.

As described it’s sounds not that different to one of the ”dependences” that came with my house here in France, although your roof timbers are in a considerably better condition that the ones I had to rip out. It’s on a slope and on one side there is a water risk down to a “déviateur...

I picked up 4 jars Oil, Dark Oil, Wax, Dark wax at a trade show here in France from the EU distributor (i think they are based in Hungary or something). A lot LOT cheaper than retail so I took them. While at first I liked it, I don’t use it anymore as every piece I‘ve put it on has needed...

Axminster was pretty much my go-to for getting things here in France but a few years ago they switched to a new EU fulfilment/delivery company and things started going wrong. 5 out of 5 orders were messed up…wrong items, missing items, missing delivery…one packet delivered to a guy 7km away...

Who get’s it first though? The Queen I’d bet…

It sounds like this is a used non-road car yes? If so then nothing much has changed as long as you have proof. If any parts are new then you’ll need to declare on entry to the EU end state rather than any you travel through, should be same for UK even if from NI as it’s final destination that...

As long as the inlet and outlet are pointing where you need/want them too, mount however you like.

I don’t think you’ll regret insulating the floor be it the full depth of the joist or not (no reason not to btw). I built a 5m x 3m shed for storage near 20yrs back. Used concrete blocks as you question and it‘s been fine, no movement at all and there is a lot of weight in there. Built a small...

Interesting thread for me this, the reason being that I recently purchased one of these saws second hand. I believe that it's one of the first batches that Axi had. Not had much use as it was abandoned when a chap sadly passed away and has sat in a garage for 4 years since. I've refurbished the...

Looks very very similar, even the colour, to the one my neighbour has in their basement workshop, which from memory was a Peugeot motor. That one is old and going strong, cast iron and does the job. I've seen his work. 100€ seems fair as long as the tables are flat. You could easily fit an...
