Yeah, but postage is included!

You were only supposed to take one of those tablets

There’s a big difference between being safe for food contact and being edible. The finish is in between you and the food, so I’d focus on that, it’s not like you’re making things from manchineel

Plywood has been in use for over two centuries, it’s not exactly a modern material. A travelling chest isn’t a common item now (though Rimowa make the modern equivalent, they are lovely). But something that can be a blanket chest, toy box etc. is a useful thing still,

Some bows used horn on one side for its compressive strength and ligament on the other for its tensile, can’t remember who though, Mongol, Egyptian?

I’ll raise you… people mowing the lawn wearing flip-flops, I’ll never forget the guy in the chronic wound clinic who’d had an accident a decade ago, still waiting for it to heal

A decent bit of advice would be to read the HSE guidance and treat that as your reference, anything else if for amusement value only.

Looks like walnut, but if it’s very dense probably not. With all those little white bits in, could it be Cuban mahogany?

Even a ply-topped table could be 100 years old now. The question is, is it a good table, age is a bit irrelevant. Unless you want a table like that, you might have just taken on someone else’s rubbish, charitable of you :)

HSS is the material the drill is made from, shape can be highly variable. Incidentally, high speed steel was invented in the 19th century so what was high speed then is somewhat slow today, anyway… Standard (v-point) twist drills will work pretty decently. For some things a lip and spur drill...

Cyclone separation has been around for about 140 years, Bill Pentz’s stuff has been available for 20+ years? Most commercially available extraction systems don’t seem to conform to his apparent highly important characteristics. At least in the UK, companies would have problems if what they have...

What are you aiming to achieve here? Do you want an extractor so you can get woodworking, or are you fancying making a custom extraction system? You can do both, but you will spend a long time doing the first part and maybe not get to the second. I love fluid mechanics, I really do, my...

Those cheap perform dovetail jigs cut them, just instead of using a dovetail cutter you use a straight

Park benches are often not very comfortable, I’m guessing this is intentional as it’s not like they haven’t had long enough to work out how to make them comfortable. I love cast iron ends, but the pricey ones. Most are municipal seating and hence again, not very comfortable, they’re also a huge...

Yeah, me too. Tough, stays liquid long enough so it can push into the voids, decent water resistance and doesn’t go crystalline and let go. I’ve never repaired a chair that wasn’t for sitting on, they go in the firewood pile.

2mm stainless… holy cow, it’s going to be a thing of beauty, please post about it. I’m presuming money is no object here or you could just buy an industrial unit for less than it sounds like you’re going to spend

No, but I’ve seen a YouTube video of it that I’m going to start a thread on

Seeing them load that in the back of a car reminds me of the time I got asked to do a customer carry-out at a garden centre for a 25l bag of compost, husband, wife, 3 teenage boys, not one of them could lift it out the trolley into their Mercedes

Just because someone posts a lot, doesn’t mean they know a lot, in fact, looking at the most prolific, it’s almost like…. ;)
