I've heard so many talk about "unbelievers" being asleep. A simplistic left-wing term attempting to mock those who have a different opinion. ... because virtue signaling is a more accurate description of what they are doing. Hypocrites is a wide description and too vague.

Hmm ... Woke is a "badge of honour" invented and promoted by the left. Virute signalling is certainly a phrase of the right, often used to mock but also used to highlight hipocrites.

Of course it isn't ! That's just shallow thinking. But to think that news outlets do not have a corporate level agenda would be very naive. They all clearly decide what information to give the public (scaremongering in the OPs case) and how that information is presented. There are many who...

The BBC (and many other MSM channels) are activists in Social Engineering. They are not the news channels they used to be. And we are forced to pay for it via the TV license.

On the topic of the Record Maxi 26, I still have mine which I bought in the mid 1980's. It was my first woodworking machine. I was working in a single garage so space was a problem, hence a Combi machine. I've kept it mainly for it's planner/thicknesser abilit and occasional saw/sliding table...

For reference, I looked at the Hammer N4400 bandsaw earlier this year. Admittedly, it is a bigger machine and it was new. I was quoted £2214.00

Hexham lad me ... work took me to South Yorkshire and I've been living in the Peak District for several decades now. Still refer to Hexham as "going home" mind.

Wow ... didn't even know there was a free pile at IKEA stores. I must pay more attention next time I'm in :-).

They stopped handing out free tapes at our Sheffield store due to Covid ! Was passing this morning so bought a couple of these aluminium extrusions. First impression : They're curtain rails with a max support weight of 10kg. As such, there is some flexing due to the low thickness of the...

Sounds like you are in a very similar position to us window-wise. Thanks for passing on your experience. I'll take a look at your suggestions. For access I have a cheap scaffold tower ... the NiftyLift looks great by comparison but is a lot more expensive. Most of my height access is via the...

I've ordered the small and large Bahco scrappers from Amazon. Appears they are highly rated on here ... so I'm in.

Never heard of Linseed Oil Paint before. I'll have a look at this one too. Thanks.

Interesting thought and thanks for the suggestion. That could work for the numerous casements, but the frames are definitely "in situ". There is someone local with caustic tank facilities I could speak to. Initially, I think I'm going to try scrapping them first to see how easily the old...

Thanks for all your replies. Very helpful.

Thankfully they arrived "naked". I employed an exterior decorator to apply a base coat/stain and then varnish them. The exterior base coat/stain was Sikkens Cetol HLS Plus. The top coat was Sadolin Exterior Extra Durable Clearcoat - oil based satin varnish.

I was wondering about the short life of the varnish myself. The property is on top of a hill in the Peak Distict and often gets battered with rain and wind. The worst damage has been to the southern windows with the sun clealry playing a big part too.

I have around 50 fitted window frames to sand (mullion windows with lots of frames) They are only 5 years old and made of Sapele. They've been varnished with a suitable outdoor varnish, but now ready for re-doing. I'm happy to buy any sander that will make this time consuming chore easier...

Hi martlewis Which model are these GSlides ? Weight rating ? Is it £30 per pair ?
