Bamboo is a traditional material, but I heard recently that the US has become a major exporter of (I think) poplar chopsticks. The statistics surrounding chopstick production/consumption are pretty mind blowing.

Sound advice - I use it from a Hozelock garden sprayer and am careful to avoid overspray, also I don't use it near the 'wildlife'* end of the garden. *Abandoned

Correct on the hose-pipe ban restrictions My Bosch (and previous Karcher) does have a small (~1 litre) dispenser reservoir that you fill with detergent/whatever - this is mixed into the pressure washer lance when you slide the lance control to a low pressure feed. I don't know the flow rate on...

With the exception of a few 'industrial' internal combustion powered washers with on-board reservoirs I've only ever seen hose fed washers. I've got a Bosch that I bought a few years back after my 3rd Karcher croaked its last; I like the Bosch but I'd never buy another 'tall' washer again - I...

Currently I'm using Japanese Feather double edged blades on a Feather plastic handled clamshell twist razor with a block of alum for running repairs. For prep I use Palmolive classic shaving stick & a brush, 50p lasts for months. I shave by touch (can't face the mirror first thing!) - the first...

Ah, missed the bit about your blacksmith friend - it's all sparks to me. I agree that it did seem that the two woodworking contestants were left a bit more to their own devices than in the blacksmithing show; but I suspect a great deal was left on the cutting room floor in the interests of...

At the risk of sounding argumentative, which I'm not trying to be, but did they? I suspect there may be some element of it being easy to critique that which we know about, and equally easy to be dazzled by the mysterious dark arts of which we know little. Is there a community of heavy-browed...

Regardless of sharpening style a few things have helped me. - A marker pen to mark the edge to be sharpened - A good light to work in - A x10 pocket lens to inspect the sharpened edge and see what's been removed The marker pen and pocket lens quickly become redundant, but I found they helped me...

That sounds in line with the prices that sort of furniture goes for at our local auction house - if you don't mind being temporarily off-trend you can furnish your house with real furniture at bargain prices. The larger/darker pieces of bedroom furniture and sideboards frequently languish unsold...

There are some lovely towns and villages in the area (I loved Wimborne when I lived there), but the prices can vary enormously; ~15 years back, it could frequently take the best part of 45 mins to drive the 10 miles into Bournemouth or Poole at peak times. The biggest problem with the whole area...

I splurged on TomTom for Android (I've got all of Europe and all of North America) when it came out - no regrets, it works perfectly for me on my very basic HTC One V and my tablet with no need for mobile data, unless you choose to pay for the extras such as live traffic (which I do on a month...

Steamed pear - yummy with custard? Or, for a more sensible answer from http://www.finefurnituremaker.com/news/ ... -pearwood/

If you're coming down the 303 to the sea it barely counts as a diversion, 5 minutes max; the beady/crafts/gallery/coffee shop aspects can be useful pacifiers if required for those not of a woody disposition. Their wood yard is rather fun to rummage through, but it may be a little picked clean...

Not wood, but there's also http://www.thetoolbox.org.uk/ in Colyton Axminster is less than 15 minutes away from Lyme, Yandles (http://www.yandles.co.uk/ tools, wood yard, crafty beads & knitting, and a coffee shop) in Martock ~40 minutes; or both of them are pretty much en route (from London to...
