    Amazing bit of woodwork

    Thanks Noel..I'm not impressed with his chairs. The important thing about a chair is not can you sit in it..it's is it comfortable, and can you get up out of it unaided. He probably can..most people probably cannot. They'd also be too small for most people to sit in. They remind me of junior...

    Interesting if slightly scary looking contraption

    Some of the homemade sawmills "work" by having the tree trunks pushed towards the rotating band.I remember one of the "sawmills" being trailer mounted, with a rail system that pivoted out from under it and then slid out to accept the tree. Some real "hold my beer" stuff around the chainsawing...

    There are videos on youtube of similar things using engines, car wheels etc to make "backyard sawmills" in the USA, along with the scariest customised hotrod homemade chainsaws that you'll ever see.

    woodworm holes suddenly appeared in new build bookcase

    Good to see the safety elves haven't managed to force everyone to buy "branded solutions", instead of being able to buy the chemicals one wants. One of the best things I had as a kid was my chemistry set, and a chemist's shop where you could buy packets and bottles of chemicals. Was worried that...
