    And Penistone Road in Sheffield..... Our grandkids always insisted on having the SatNav working...... Still laugh every time we go back to Sheffield, even though Google Maps have rectified their pronunciation.

    Yew can't throw that away!

    More or less rescued from disposal, this 900mm long piece of Yew just looked like it might make a decent wall light/arty piece. I have become a fan of Odies Oil after several months of outstanding results and it really hasn't darkened the colour, just enhanced it! Standing it off the wall by...

    Car tax / road fund licence

    No you can keep the vehicle anywhere.... It's the fee that you pay to be allowed to shake your car to pieces by driving over the potholes, which incidentally no-one wishes to do anyway! The government are considering a plan to flood all the roads with overflow sewage, allowing us all to travel...

    Pergola Advice

    You are incorrect as a flat strip works perfectly. A structural engineer advised this 20 years ago and it has been solid ever since on a floor support in a listed building.

    Pergola Advice

    Better, as lighter weight, is a thin flat strip of steel underneath, screwed every 100mm in zig zag pattern, to avoid splitting. If you jack it up in the middle, before fixing, you will amazed how well this works. It costs much less than angle and may transported rolled up. An angle will flex...

    Does being right or lft-handed determine which way round a room you go when painting ?

    If I'm brush painting I go round the room anticlockwise (I'm RH), as laying off is easier dragging right to left into wet paint. If I'm rolling I go clockwise, as I can always see the roller leaving the wet edge without looking around the roller to see the RH. If I know there's a lot of painting...

    3D printer location

    I keep mine in a small walk in cupboard which is insulated and the only heat is from the print bed. I have printed right through winter butI got fed up of going outside across the yard to check on progress, until I fitted a Beagle 1st gen camera/printer hub. It is an absolute game changer.

    Armouring internet cable under grave driveway

    You cannot put your WiFi router in the street before your property so you have to have it in your home. THE CABLE, WHICH DOES THAT, TERMINATES ON/IN YOUR BUILDING. You then connect to that termination. Optical and WiFi ARE NOT the same, even if they move the same data!

    What might this be? ... I do know, but do you?

    Apparently the one at Scroopy was of French, origin, so I guess anyone who eats Frog's legs will find a use for Larks Tongues too. I understand that the little mirrors reflect the sunlight and yes the hunter (?) hides in a bush or hedge and works the string. The one in the video is spun like a...

    What might this be? ... I do know, but do you?

    It was on display at Carlton Scroop Tool event on Saturday. I asked what it was, to be told it was a Lark Attractor. Naturally I thought the guys were winding me up, so I made it my mission to find out what it really is..... It is in fact.... A Lark Attractor!
