    Vice lining?

    I cut up an old bread board. No idea what sort of wood it is. The metalworking vice has magnetic rubber inserts with grooves for holding tubular objects.

    The things you find out....

    This was back in the late 60s and I really can't remember if our boots were leather or synthetic.

    The things you find out....

    When I was at secondary school, our p,e, teacher Alan Ross told us that if any of us were ever on tv we should tell the world never to use dubbin on football boots. No idea why, and I've never been on tv.

    Near catastrophe with control panel failure on Hyundai Kona Car!

    I run a 2007 Lexus hybrid which is one of the nicest cars that I've ever had. The windscreen washer stopped working. I knew the pump was somewhere behind the wheel arch liner but just couldn't work out how to get to it. Took it to my local Lexus dealer who confirmed that the pump was shot and...

    Distribution of Cadmium in the 1950s

    I'm hoping that some of the older members here might have some knowledge about this In the 1950s, my father was a police constable in Norwich, UK. I was under 10 at the time but I can clearly remember being told that he was part of a group that was putting caches of cadmium around Norfolk so...

    OBD scanner

    Avoid Carly, which works on tablets/phones. Their subscription model is not cheap and in my experience the information/options offered are not worth it. I use it on an old Lexus hybrid and a more modern Renault

    Crack filling

    Thanks for the helpful comments so far. I'm going to try a combination. First some Ronseal wood hardener after raking out the cracks, then some Big Boy Flexi. It's not available here, so the big river UK is sending some out - not quite so cheap! It'll take a week or so to get here, but I'll...

    Crack filling

    I'd like a bit of advice about filling cracks in the top of a gate which is open to the intense UV rays in southern France. It's one of a pair and the other one is fine after 7 years but this one is severely cracked (cracked may not be exactly the right word here). I've tried filling with all...

    Exploding Pagers - Lebanon

    OK, I'll give you that. The only one in the UK. They have been trying to replace it for years but the site constraints make it very difficult. My other comments about the programme, however, stand.

    Exploding Pagers - Lebanon

    I have to disagree with your "review" I'm afraid. I thought that it was a badly acted, badly scripted impossible scenario (2 railway tracks crossing at ninety degrees at the same elevation?!)

    US Election November 5th

    In my view the difference between them (and also between Trump and Biden) is that Trump does not listen to his (presumably) intelligent advisers whereas Biden (and hopefully Harris) do/will.

    Recommendations for low price ultrasonic cleaner for Stihl carburetor

    There's a Youtube channel called "Chicanic", produced by a lady who is a wiz with small engines in the US somewhere. She warns off clone carbs as they either don't work well, or stop working altogether, but in any case she's worth a look for all the repairs she does on Stihl equipment.

    Budget power tools.

    Evolution is different in that the "universal" blade runs at a much lower speed. I've had mine for about 5 years with no problem.

    Glue for mending cracked wheelie bin?

    If you "v" the crack, then fill it with bicarbonate of soda and dribble the runny type of superglue (cheap stuff will do) over it, the result is rock hard. I use the method for car plastic repairs.
