After years of messing around with a home theatre PC Windows killed it with Win10 (no features to view dvds/cds etc). We turned to Amazon fire and have never looked back. It is connected to our tv and nice surround sound speakers. It also connects through wireless to our main PC which stores all...

NASA is also putting a lot of effort into 3D printing. If a part fails on the way to Mars then they need to be able to print it and replace it.

It will only be so long before they get access to your supermarket loyalty card. Then most of are stuffed! I have a mate who never hands over his loyalty cards if he is buying booze or ready meals. Paranoia?

Quickly book a cheap holiday that starts the day after the summons date? I have been summoned twice for Jury service and, at least in Scotland, selection was determined by pulling names out of a glass bowl. Both times I was lucky and didn't get picked. Quite a few did use the "I have a holiday...

I subscribe to the digital version of Popular Woodworking and that just comes as pdf so it is easy to print off the odd page. Not sure how the others are delivered digitally. H.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-VOrxkBCd4 Check out the great invention that starts at about the 30 sec mark. I can't imagine what could go wrong here :shock:

Thanks Eric. I will give it a go. Sounds nice and messy - I will make sure SWMBO see how disgusting it is so I might get some extra brownie points!

It is only 4" so I could make it bigger and I do have a 6 in hole saw that would work When we vented the extractor to the outside I found that the airflow was vastly improved with the carbon filter removed - and all the smells should have been getting taken straight outside. I thought the...

Andy - you mean that isn't you in your avatar pic? Well that's ruined my day :roll: :lol:

That's the one Sunnybob and when we moved into the house one of the first things we did was remove the carbon filter and extract it outside. Pete- this one also extracts out the top but the false chimney allows you to put in a bend. Andy - this does have cleanable metal filters and they go in...

We are renovating our house at the moment, opening up the kitchen and dining room etc. The one thing that concerns us with our plans is cooking smells pervading the house. We have a rangemaster toledo with classic extractor hood. Despite being about 14 years old now the cooker and ovens are...

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. If I pull it off it will also make good stocking fillers for the kids!

That is a nice looking site. This was kind of thing I was thinking about: https://www.instagram.com/p/BaJn-BCFJRo/?hl=en&taken-by=watersandacland I remember a really old joiner friend showing me the same puzzle he made as an apprentice in 1945 so really wanted to try it.

Does anyone have a link to the wooden puzzle that the likes of Waters and Acland use as training exercises for new students. I am wanting to improve my hand tool skills and fancy giving this a go. Thanks, H.

:shock: Not so bad if you look at some of his other offerings as the dodgy looking legs are revealed for what they actually are :lol:

I don't like marmite but I did hit his subscribe button :lol:

Eek! I was lucky, the road was clear and just manage to slip onto the end of an entry slip onto the dual carriageway All the removed parts were given back to me, and all were original vw parts. I only got round to taking them to the tip last week too #-o Ironically the garage told me that...

That I do not know. There were definitely several parts replaced including the belt, the water pump and at least one other part. I will ask.

I promise i will be nice with them! Just wondered where I stood. We had an awful experience about 12/13 years ago with a proper Mercedes dealership. They serviced our A-class but forgot to put oil back in.......... Drove the thing about 20 miles before the engine management system kicked in but...

So driving along dual carriageway yesterday and I hear a bang and feel some rumblings. Assuming I have hit something and have a puncture I pull into the side but quickly realise the engine has cut out and when stopped notice a little puff of something come from the bonnet. I immediately suspect...
