I'd set a budget for camera/case/strap and lens (or 2), decide what the lens requirements are (e.g. a 50mm f1.4 for "street photos" and a low end zoom (70-200?) for wildlife etc. then head to Park Cameras site to see what they have in the budget. A used semi pro DSLR body a couple of generations...

Full disclosure actually I have a Jura E6 but compromise on the beans by buying catering boxes of Roma Fair Trade from "Caffé Prima"

Look at you gone all posh. Coffee's coffee's coffee

The rule intended to reduce power usage (not suction power) applies only to domestic hardware. You can buy a Nilfisk workshop vac off the shelf with larger motors (and more suction) like a Multi II (1400W motor). I have the earlier version though and I'd not call it quiet.

It came with the 1 micron cartridge filter, although I use a workshop vac for machines that produce fine particles.

I like that idea, though might get in trouble with the powers that be, having already moved all the gardening kit out of the shed to make space for the extractor and planer... Also where the lean-to would have to go is currently occupied with a whole pile of wood to be processed through the...

I'd expect the "working figures" to be lower than the claimed cfm, but the biggest job it has to do is pull the chips from the planer it was bundled with and (a) the planer has 100mm extraction port and (b) the extractor is only 125mm to the edge of the motor unit - it comes with the y-piece...

The y-shape piece is freely rotatable, but achieving a shallower bend would require the extractor to stand further from the wall, which isn't an option space wise; the y-shape also sleeves down to 100mm, so while a shallower bend it puts the reduction very close to the machine - good 90 bend at...

I think it's an NVR but can test

Definitely a thought though the existing base mounting holes are captive nut, which is kinda nice; would probably need a new hose for the outlet -> collector as well

Hi all Having acquired an extraction machine (iTech DC001S) to squeeze into the shed, on installation I realise the only way it will fit (and still allow access to the on/off switches) means the extraction inlet has to connect directly to a 90 degree bend. This will bring the pipe out from...

Also note if the space isn't heated, or not continuously heated, you need to select a freezer that uses tech that can keep working if the external temperature drops below 0C.

China is way ahead of the game of transitioning to cleaner sources of energy. 3 of the top 10 EV manufacturers are Chinese, and the batteries etc. in many of the others are Chinese. Despite being the factory for much of the stuff being sold in Europe/US, they are way below US (Russia, Taiwan...

Ahh that old chestnut. Yes, some people voted to "leave the EU" without understanding what that meant. A much smaller number voted leave understanding exactly what it would mean (and made a lot of money for themselves as a result). But regardless of the vote itself, the EU had *zero* control...

Hergé, 1950 (or Professor Calculus, depending how you look at it

I travelled more or less the same path, and the Sabre 350 has been worth every penny. Works. I hadn't used a bandsaw since school, and with the 350 my first project (and justification for buying the saw) was to make a ramp/transition by pushing a 250*30mm plank through it, vertically, with the...

One of the best aspects of this news is the 2 partners in the development were Kyoto University and a 300+ year old forestry company - founded in 1691. Sadly they don't have an English language page for the project, but I grabbed this photo of the completed satellite from the Japanese press...

But not burning means (a) less trees growing (if the wood is taken from a managed forestry setup), and the younger faster growing trees absorb more CO2 than the mature ones and (b) methane output (if the wood is coming from trees/branches that had to come down anyway).

Eeek.

Other sectors have seen massive growth in employment; employment rates as % of working age population far above those of the 1970s. Just the jobs are not in the manufacturing sector.
