    Window Board Secret Fixing

    +1 for multi tool using a scrap of board thinner than the window board by the thickness of the blade if you are working off a flat plane surface?

    Climate change policy

    I wish I was a cartoonist... I'd draw a picture of the UK floating on a giant verdant lily-pad leaf, sunlit, populated by smug happy vegans, wearing rainbow clothes, tripping over cow-free meadows rich in wildflowers to find a lovely spot for their hummus and tofu picnics, before returning to...

    HELP I need a new desktop PC

    No one has mentioned Libre Office to escape MS pay to type etc. I find it more than acceptable as an alternative for Word, Excel. Draw etc and it's free to download.

    Sharing with a deep freezer.

    But one needs to plan space to open the door and look inside?

    Sharing with a deep freezer.

    Until you access a big upright in bare feet you don't appreciate how much 'cold' drops straight out when you open the door!

    Reducing tearout from router plane.

    I saw what you did there, you little Antipodean punster!

    HELP I need a new desktop PC

    Have you considered an All In One (AIO) model, no wires, or do have a monitor you wish to keep? As above, get a bit more than 8mb RAM and seek professional assistance in getting a mirror copy of your HD on it. I confess I am to microcomputing what the late Cyril Smith MP was to hang-gliding...

    Sharing with a deep freezer.

    If you were 'obliged' to share your double garage workshop space with a deep freezer, would you choose an upright model or a chest model? The upright has a smaller footprint, but I think a chest model, able to be covered semi permanently with a 6mm ply cover would occasionally provide a flat...

    Simple Burglar Alarm for Workshop

    Don't forget hinge bolts, inexpensive, supplement your locks. Internal Sonic 'bombs' on a key/hidden switch delay (like some narrowboat owners have) Sorry, just seen above.

    How Much!!

    I wonder how long these will take to sell? Brings to mind the expression "It's definitely a niche in the market, but is there a market in the niche? "

    Don't forget a holder for the pen which of course you'll put on a sink plug chain!

    CoSHH cabinets?

    Bund! That was the word I was looking for, than you.

    CoSHH cabinets?

    I recall the one at the railway workshop had a tray shaped bottom so that a leaking tin didn't run out through the bottom of the door, if that helps? (Oh yes, it was bright yellow)

    Another bargain!

    Phil, Further 'research' (Google) leads me to believe these are way before Bahco who took it over in 1959, see below Eskilstunasteel was founded in the city of Eskilstuna, Sweden in 1936 by Gösta Pettersson. Pettersson, who was 31 years old at the time, began manufacturing in a factory...

    Another bargain!

    Yes, I cobbled it together. It is a 'standing lug' rig, the downhaul tension on the luff keeps the yard cocked. In a small boat, the rig is friendler than a balanced lug because there's no boom to keep bashing ones head!

    Another bargain!

    Hopefully, but not until a housemove and a workshop fit out is done! Picture of a previous boat jobby..Piglet, difficult to think of anything else under 11ft long that was so much fun..
