Putin still presumably wants to bring the whole of Ukraine under his control, and one assumes doesn't much care for the idea of Ukraine occupying part of Russia, however small. You have to ask why are neither of these issues being resolved? The only logical explanation is that Russia no longer...

Like the idea of making it as one and then cutting it in half. Nice job.

Yes, could well work.

And Russia has vast reserves of military equipment. Don't make me laugh. The Americans are probably the worst hoarders of kit in the world. They have literally thousands of tanks, AFV and other kit in storage, and the money and ability to recommission it if necessary. Russia GDP about $2...

And China. Curious that you seem to accept what Russia says at face value. On that basis China have consistently denied that they are sending any weapons to the Russians for use in Ukraine, so that must be true? Of course it's not, but why are you prepared to believe Russia, whilst acknowledging...

A case in point is reactive armour. There were stories a number of years ago that I think Pakistan had bought tanks from the Russians. They found that the explosive in the reactive armour had been removed, and replaced with either sand or concrete. Presumably because some enterprising Russians...

So pray why have they been unable to dislodge the Ukrainians from Kursk? Why are they heavily reliant on drones from Iran, and supplies of ammunition, and now troops from N Korea? If what you say we're actually true then they would have romped across Ukraine in the first place, and the incursion...

The Myford style won't work in this case because it has to perform both functions. So to lock the spindle it has to turn to push the end against the bottom of the slot. That precludes you from using a square or oblong key. You could have a free floating key that the screw bears against to lock...

Not sure about using them in parliament, attractive as the idea may be. Weasels are pretty nippy.

Tell me about it. I'm surprised the local Evri delivery lady isn't on the electoral roll at our house :-)

They are gorgeous

I suspect probably not, but authorities scared there might be. Our own schools are doing the same sadly. My son's had very well equipped metal and wood work shops, all now out of use with the "very dangerous" machines like lathes, saws and milling machines all off limits. They had five...

Old fashioned rubber tap washers work.

Poor design really to have the one part perform both functions. But it is what it is. My only observation would be that you might consider making the replacement out of something like brass, so it doesn't eventually damage the slot. You could do this easily enough by drilling the end of your...

I was wondering if you could use something close and fine tune it with a liquid tint.

I use one for working on watch case backs and various clock case parts. Quite delicate and awkward shapes to get hold of with a clamp, very like your spoons

A bit gloomy. I also tend to think we kid ourselves if we think we can control the climate beyond the effects of our own stupidity. And yes I think it is likely that a significant proportion of humanity will probably get wiped out at some point in the future, probably as a result of mass...

Absolute must to have a good sharp blade, much less likely to misbehave.

Maybe try a workshop type grip mat. Will certainly stop it moving about too much.

Pretty sure the ones I have at the moment are Konig hard ones, have to check as I have had them a while. They are very hard and brittle and I either apply directly using a soldering iron, or grate them with an old spice grater if I want to mix the colours. The shavings go into a ceramic artists...
