I'd do the opposite. Increase it to properly fund social care. Put an end to the terrible discrimination against dementure sufferers - get cancer, heart disease etc, get looked after at the state's expense - get dementure, nothing left for anyone to pay inheritance tax on.

If you are going to put a moist cake directly on it, then you'll see some proper movement I'd guess, quartersawn or not.

Be aware that external doors fall under the auspices of building control. There is allowance for bespoke wooden doors, but it still specifies various things about sizes of framing and panels, and locking.

Never call back a missed call, unless you recognise the number. It can cost you dearly. If it is important, they can leave a message, text, or call back.

A passing thought - the design of the box might make the tick louder or quieter, and change the sound somewhat. Personally I can't bear the sound of life ticking away.

I don't buy all that about card life. The endurance of the flash memory is more than enough for photography I think. More likely it is electromechanical failure - poor contacts causing corruption or permenant failure. Or maybe thermal stresses.

In my experience, Sandisk are one of the more reliable brands for flash memory devices.

I have a similarly priced SIP welder that behaves in much the same way. The case is bigger and largely empty space, if I used it a lot I'd consider shoe-horning a couple of fans in there - I think there's room and at least it would reduce the cooling off period. Mine was supposed to be ok with...

The shape of the gripping bit - one concave, the other convex - makes me wonder if it is not some sort of hose clamp, though not blood vessels. Chemistry ? Given the manfucturers site, automotive ? Brake bleeding, fuel lines ?

Do you use a baseboard at all ? One method of constructon is to have a frame holding boards set vertically, cut to the shape of the cross-section of your landscape at intervals, with just a strip across them to make the track bed. Less of a drum for noise.

If I had an axe like the ones in those pictures I'd throw it. In the bin. Horrid. Gransfors throwing axes look much more dangerous :D Holy c**p, one of those links above is touting targets for games for your kids' parties :shock: :shock:

Some of my planes were from the era when the lever caps were left a plain ground steel finish, and I like them that way - they age much nicer than the flaking chrome, and look less garish. I imagine you could DIY electroplate them - I've done nickel plating with nickel ammonium sulphate, which...

Not a plan, but I saw a nice idea on YouTube. Two blocks joined end grain to endgrain with a pair of diagonally cut dovetails, so the result looks like there is a dovetail on each face in an impossible lookimg configuration. The centre part of each block was then drilled out with a Forstner...

It may be worth noting amongst that last paragraph that cadmium was sometimes used as an alternative to nickel, which might suggest some caution as it is somewhat toxic.

Meranti ?

We have had small runs of injection molded parts made for us. I think if you only want a few, the tooling can be made from easier to work but less durable materials. Possibly by 3D printing the dies ! I assumed the OP was looking at modest quantities, the link I gave say from 25 off.

I don't, but we do have some parts 3D printed (in nylon), which could be worth a thought if quantities are small. These lot are often plugged by the IET: https://www.protolabs.co.uk/

You say an old man outside an old folks home. My parents brought us up to take our litter home with us. My mother started just dropping litter when the Alzheimers started to get the better of her. Sometimes things aren't as simple as they look. Just because of a few yobs - who probably had...

Isn't a badger plane almost exactly wrong for shooting ? The need to attach something to lift it to avoid planing the shooting board away, and isn't the skew in the wrong direction so as to tend to lift the workpiece rather than push it down ? Always been puzzled by that choice.

It's not a strange problem. It is the crux of working with wood. Wood does not stay flat on its own. It's always on the move. A piece of wood, planed dead flat and left on the bench will not be precisely flat the next day - the exposed side will lose / gain moisture faster than the side...
