    Battery Fire Risks

    Decent device manufacturers use intelligent charging systems. The number of scare stories I get from Apple haters about devices blowing up is, in 99% of cases, people using cheap Chinese knock off chargers and leads. To Apple's credit if there is any sort of problems there's usually a recall...

    How to drill into a concrete lintel?

    If you come across a flint in old brickwork (and you will know when you have) putting a steel punch in the hole and giving a hefty whack (or two) to shatter it, usually works. Also with old walls I never start with the hammer on..... ask me how I know😂

    How I charged an old removable mobile phone battery

    Parkside speed clamps

    Looking for old, wide board of true mahogany

    Do you have Brazilian Rosewood for the fingerboard? I presume you're making a Junior or a Special? Be nice to see the finished item and some construction videos. Good luck

    Old Shipwreck found on beach Orkney
