Part of grammar is about making readability and understanding better. However, I still read the end of that as you complementing a clever common garden/tree rodent. 😂

I would have thought with decent bit you’ll be able to do in one pass but unless I misunderstand the dimensions, you could always rout the other way, I.e 5-6 mm cut with multiple depth passes until depth is 18mm. Then you’d have 18-19mm (24-5/6) wood for support on each pass rather than the 12mm...

Nice of you to sell but is it a silly question why you didn’t just return it and get refund?

Very impressive Adam. Mirror above another piece reminds me of my nephew’s wife’s prize winning graduating pieces from her course

One for debate...... the Olympics has traditionally kicked off interest in a huge number of sports due to so many new things being shown. Kids fancy taking up anything from diving through judo to rugby to bmx etc etc. The normal coverage with so many sports covered has given kids (and adults)...

On a purely financial basis, there are probably better examples to use than drills as most aren’t stunningly expensive for the diy type tasks that someone who doesn’t own one already is likely to use one for (eg putting up a shelf or drilling for a few screw holes etc). I can fully understand...

Welcome from another Herts person who, like P.J, is from WGC

Not a single minute of the Euros being watched by me. Can’t stand the acting and tribalism. Anyone wanting a great advert for sport and brilliant contests only need to hav3 watched the rugby premiership semi-finals and final. Stunning games and not one faked injury

Funnily enough, that was exactly my plan for an old bureau around 20 years ago (cd player player instead of turntable). I never did make it but it’s a nice way to reuse/upcycle a bit of furniture. As for the OP. ‘brown’ furniture, I’d sell it if in good or better condition. I had same issue...

Have real fun with thick coated Cat6e external cable....then you know what a battle is with RJ45 plugs (direct Poe to cctv rather than via patch which would have been more sensible except the switch from the patch would have needed to be Poe)

Put loose timber top of the list. While lying upside down screwing work top into wall mounted support for quick/rough benching in garage yesterday, a piece of 3x2 which I had forgotten was leaning on wall behind me fell and hit me on the head 😀. So, timber is most dangerous.....

Pull cord attached to cable :)

Not surprisingly, I had no idea about the cable hole. However, in reality how often does anyone think it’s used? Vast majority of the time if you can see the drill bit you’re going to see the hole from wherever it’s finished up. Most flat bits would be used where bigger than a standard wood...

Still think the trickle charger Optimate/Accumate that a couple of us have suggested is the most sensible option as it’s simple plug in then leave. A lot quicker than disconnecting/reconnecting or swapping batteries. One point to remember is that if you disconnect alarm or battery your insurance...

Accumate trickle charger with optional extension lead so that the charger and all electrics are in garage and it’s just the charging cable which is outside. Put a permanent connector plug on the battery terminals then it’s literally a few secs to connect up. Bonnet can normally be closed...

I’ve got the Evolution from Screwfix (gone up in price since I got it but slap bang on your budget) and it has worked fine and with Saxon blades the cut whether 60 teeth or 100 has been what I would say as ‘very good’ - whether 3x2 treated ripped or other softwood. Haven’t used on any hardwood#...

Exactly my first thought. Lovely bit of furniture and even more so with the drawers as sideboard!

Depends whether you wan5 to pop out or not but Crown Decorating Centres well Osmo and obviously decent paints like Sadolin etc. Luton nearest for you

On a positive note, when I bought my table saw from Screwfix, the lad in the store wheeled it out for me, gave me a hand lifting it in the car and then took trolley back. Both of us had masks. So, prob a lot just depends on the person serving, willingness (and ability) to help.

Wind is certainly an issue. Both of my gazebos are reasonably well sheltered by house yet still need ballast tied to each leg and that has stopped them moving much but not stopped the better quality one from getting the extending top parts buckled. The cheaper (simple pole assembly) has stayed...
