    Lathe purchase ideas...

    I am hoping to get a lathe later this year (present) and am slightly uncertain as to best option... 2 contenders are: Axminster AC370 RP Coronet Herald the Axminster has a longer spindle length at 1100mm but the Herald is over 900mm with the extension and I don’t foresee that being an issue...

    Simple solution for website, blog and podcasts

    low cost is tricky online if you want any semblance of control, your best hosting / website option is still wordpress, you might just have to source cheap hosting... almost any media you embed is likely to have an iframe, it is very tricky to control something sitting on another website from a...

    Simple solution for website, blog and podcasts

    My posting overlapped yours Dave - question was to the OP :) there are many ways of linking data online - your example is a simple clickable link, but the OP may want more - they may want to see the podcast title, date, author etc. in a list / they may want it graphically displayed with cover...

    How to use push sticks to cut wood safely on a table saw.

    Master switch for a circuit of sockets?

    Sheds

    ours mainly came with the right fasteners - mix of screws and nails - but there was nothing connecting roof and front or back wall, so the whole shed moved... fortunately I may have had a few boxes of screws lying around and it is now much more rigid!
