I bought the heater itself in 2020, and the switch in Jan 2021. eBay history only goes back 3 rolling years so it's now dropped out.

This is the switching device https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283461580668? The purchase of the heater was a month before and it's fallen out of my eBay history. Sorry

Do you blend your kerosene with diesel to provide lubrication for the pump?

I use oil (kerosene) for my house boiler and mix it with red diesel that I have for the farm vehicles. I would think that a friendly farmer might help you out? My workshop is 15m2 and is moderately insulated, but I very rarely have the heater on for more than 20mins. I set the thermostat for 14...

Deffo this route. The low heat solder is very easy to use and doesn't require touching with a soldering iron. As said, lay it out carefully, place small dots of solder over the joints and apply heat to the (fluxed) parts. Let us know how you get on. With pics!

Looks like your're a good squeeze;)

Despite using Metalguard a year ago, my tables recently became rusty in this humid weather. I contacted the Metalguard chaps and asked their advice on surface preparation. They suggested removing any oily residue prior to coating. I've cleaned up my tables with scotch Brite, then isopropyl...

I found this a good modification to my fretsaw

You had me at the Lurpak........

This works really well and I've used it on small boxes. I made a small thicknesser to work with a No4 plane. It adjusts to enable thin pieces to be safely and accurately planed to a precise thickness - quite handy if you have quite a few to make.

This is the process I used. I stress, I'm an amateur and find that taking time and focusing on the process rather than the finish line seems to work OK for me. Good luck however you go about it

I'm no master craftsman but do them by hand with good results. Careful marking out and taking time yields good results. These were done last week. Marked with a pencil, cut with a tenon saw and pared with a chisel. Most therapeutic, no noise, no dust. Give it a go. You might surprise yourself.

Pimped turntable plinth for my son's Xmas pressy. Guts are a vintage Dual CS503-3. Ash from the farm and wenge (not from the farm) splines. All hand work.

Great article to explain the process. Also introduced me to the term tribologist - Every day is a school day

+1 for Maha Mine has 8 individually controlled slots for AAA/AA. Can fast charge, slow charge, and "condition". I also mostly Eneloops which are good due to the lack of delf-discharge

My daughter lent me a pair of Loop protectors to try. They're terrific. Much, much easier to insert than foam plugs, very comfortable to wear, come supplied with about 5 varying sized tips to best fit the ear canal. https://www.loopearplugs.com/?

I fitted them to my single glazed workshop and it made quite a big difference. Cost about a fiver. Double sided tape fitted to the frame; apply sheet; warm gently with hairdryer to remove wrinkles. When I redo it (next year probs) I'll take more effort to clean the frame well before applying the...

Solar thermal panels to the tank, or solar PV powering an immersion in the tank?
