The originals were called slimlight from Edinburgh, there are now many options. I get mine from Treforest glass in Wales, I am on the very edge of their free delivery zone. I see you are in Oxford, I used to work there for many years fixing old sashes. I do not miss the Botley road roundabout...

Someone said it, even if it was the mostly media.

in the 70`s they said we would be having an ice age now.

If tasked with this window I would do the following. Copy it`s design and mouldings and make it traditionally, adjusting slightly for double glazing. I would use individual dgu`s with 6.5mm sightlines something like a 4/8/4 with krypton fill to give a decent` U value. You may have to increase...

Agreed, it hurts my brain just trying to work it out. What about a 9 axis machines. That is a 5 axis machine with a lathe in it !

Thats one pass in a spindle with a ringfence or bearing. For curved heads I make a sled from mdf with locating blocks for the workpiece and big over centre clamps to hold it flat safely. Make the sled a good bit longer on the ends than required this is to provide a safe lead in and out, and also...

Those dmg machines are amazing, there is a specialist company near me that has a bunch of them, I think they do composite stuff as they have a load of autoclaves as well. I always want to go in and have a nose around when I walk past and the door is open. The great thing with F1 is it lets...

I think we need to remember the extremely privilaged position from which we are currently having this debate. We are allowed at present to freely discuss any subject. We have until recently been able to live and work anywhere in Europe, we can marry whoever we like, same sex, different sex, we...

I understand the intention which I have no problem with in principle. I have no personal agenda to push, and obviously no control over what the government decides to do ( except my vote of course, but whoever we vote for we get politicians anyway ). My worry is inevitable mission creep due to...

My mate has the same as the silent hyundai in a fetching blue, different brand same thing. Amazingly quiet. Dispite the recommendations for SGS be careful. I bought a NU air 150 litre compressor for hundreds less than they charged for the exact same one. I would certainly recommend NUAIR, it is...

Are you suggesting I have in some way discredited someone or encroached on anyones rights to think for themselves? I just thought we were having an interesting discussion. I specifically didn`t call those people crazy ( assuming you mean the radicalised people ). I did directly call the...

The algorithm just gives you what it thinks you want from previous interactions. If you click on 10 videos about cats it will keep sending you cat videos. I know that people can become radicalised by what they are exposed to. Plenty of people have been radicalised before the internet as well...

I would agree the Molly Russell case could be attributed to online words in a direct sense. But those directly to blame are the evil people who have posted the nonsense. Not Twitter itself. There should certainly be more education in schools and other places of how to cope with social media. And...

I was thinking about this today and I wonder if there is an element of necessity to learn any diy. I have always been relatively poor so there was really no question of getting (paying) someone to do any simple diy tasks, you just did it yourself unless it was gas fitting or something. Even if...

Moldex half mask ones with the two round cartridges. You can use just the dust filters or ABEC ones for organic and non organic vapours, for paint spraying etc. https://www.moldex.com/product-category/respiratory-protection/reusable-respiratory-protection/ I also like the way the straps work...

You could, but I think a law against murder or driving 70mph in a 20mph school zone are sensible laws we can all agree on. These laws are against actions, not ideas or thoughts. Laws against what people can say / think are a worrying trend. To follow the above example, we have speed limits but...

It is probably blunt by now but it can also be the wood, sometimes you just get a real fluffy bit. As said above try sharpening it. I agree that Johnnyb that a decent bit is a world away from random chinesium. I normally get CMT ones from Scott and Sargeant, usually some kind of offer on. Good...

They made my Mum put loads of inslation in the block wall, after planing was approved but before the build was started. I think they did 300mm of cavity batts or something. Try this thingy https://u-valuecalculator.com/gb

There is a measure of control here, currently it`s not super invasive but there could certainly be gradual and small increases to the control that may not be desirable and will be harder to spot. Sites should ideally act responsibly, and most want to anyway. I saw something the other day that...

edited, was suggesting Tyler hardwoods then re-read the first post. They do have good maple though.
