    Try creating a new shortcut https://www.dummies.com/computers/opera ... ows-vista/ If that fails it could be that Vista and chrome have now become incompatible due to auto updates maybe https://support.google.com/chrome/answe ... 6?hl=en-GB So you'll need to use a different browser

    VAWTs and workshop heating

    An alternative may be a conventional gas combi boiler and rads. LPG conversion kit on the boiler and a 47kg gas bottle outside. This is what my old 2.5 bed house had (7 rads) and we'd average 12 bottles a year at 50 quid a bottle. Obviously you wouldn't be occupying the space for the same amount...

    Cheap printer server compatible with Windows 10?

    As said you should just be able to hardwire the printer to one pc and 'share' it with others connected to the same network. Does mean that the pc with the printer connected would need to be on to access the printer from others but if that's not a problem...

    Drilling Balsa Dowel

    I would try a wider dowel (if necessary) drill through slowly from one end with a long drill bit, removing frequently to get rid of the waste and not worry about the drill bit exiting in the centre, then mount the dowel using the holes and shape back down to round etc. That being said, a 2mm...

    Drilling Balsa Dowel

    Is the rod or the hole it goes through part of the float design or just to help mount it in the lathe? If its the latter glue a small piece in each end of your (slightly longer) blank , shape float and then cut the ends off.

    Electric motor (Leroy somer LS71P) dismantlification.

    Thanks gents. Got back to it this afternoon and as Sideways suggested it was just a push on spline fitting holding the little fan on, a few taps with a suitable drift and it popped off. Bearings are now off and replacements ordered. 8) For any future finders of this post from the outside...

    Electric motor (Leroy somer LS71P) dismantlification.

    Evening all. I'm part way through stripping an extractor motor for a bearing change but time ran out today so will continue tomorrow. Just to expedite matters and hopefully prevent any breakages does anyone have any experience with similar? After half a gallon of 3in1 a bit of heat and a lot of...
