    Dealing with rats in subfloor void

    Just been for a look, ours are black plastic jaws, with a yellow sticker marked "piege à rat" ( rat trap )..no makers ID.Garden centres and farm supply places sell them, cost about 7 or 8 euros each.Highly effective, when they go off they "clack" very loudly , the rat is instantly dead.You do...

    My first whittling projects

    Everyone has a plan ..'til the dog, cat,small child etc tries to jump into your lap, or jogs your arm etc..and then there is working in public, exhibitions, fairs etc. Not to mention, from what I hear of current life "outre manche", if you cut yourself, it could be a very long wait for an...

    Avro Vulcan

    The one that used to "spook" people ( civvies ) was Harriers popping up from behind trees and hedges for a quick "shufty"..or being in the hills in Wales or Scotland and looking down on Hercs flying along the bottom of the valleys. The Buccaneer was another nice looking aircraft.

    Cleaning Small Parts - machine restoration

    While I think of it..you don't want the + and the - to touch directly, so ..use a piece of steel for the + like deema says, but make it a loose fitting "sleeve" from a piece of say 30 mm diameter plastic pipe* ( drill holes all around the pipe from top to bottom to let the liquid get to the...

    Avro Vulcan

    Speaking of "lost skills"..a model of the TSR2 would be interesting. I saw it fly just once. For the time it looked like something from Sci-Fi. The Vulcan sorties at one point in the 60's got so frequent ( especially at night ) that you learned to sleep through the "earthquake in the sky", or...

    Modified my workbench

    If Microsoft made your work bench, they would declare that to be a new feature, and they'd also have moved your vice to the opposite side of the bench, hidden your chisels in a cupboard that you didn't know your bench had built in, and locked you out of your workshop until they'd finished...

    Is my Lidl/parkside track defective?

    Hi, I just joined in order to be able to reply to the OP ( I was going to join anyway , but in a few days when I 'll have more time ) because I bought one of these today here in France, ( along with some other tools ) at 9.45 am to be precise. OK to answer your question, the saw's base plate (...
