For a lot of good information on doing these task, rather than look for info on skirting boards look for baseboard which is the american term and they do seem to do a lot more fancy trim work than we do. The problem now is finding good videos that can be watched without the distracting and...

What difference will this make, tools will always be stolen if there are no deterents and the police are often not interested as it is insignificant when it comes to allocating resources. Boot fairs are probably not that huge for selling stolen powertools, fake goods are going to be more...

Yes another aspect of big brother marketing, shove what you want to shift in peoples faces with a little discount and watch it sell. Often best to walk past and find the item on the shelf in it's normal place unless you wish to consume that day otherwise you are not only buying that item...

Is this not just how things have become, Youtube is drowning in adverts that have a really big impact when viewing content, Tv has regular begging adverts for everything from donkeys to drought, then the gambling adverts that are really just asking you to give your money away with almost...

Was there not some saying that says out of chaos comes creativity .

You could always go Roman with a xylospongium. This translates to a sponge on a stick so really basic.

I think the secret is to have interest that are totally opposite, when you hit a wall with one just switch and do the other. For me I write software and enjoy woodworking as it is opposite, literally as one needs only grey mater whilst the other needs hands on as well. For something...

It does look well made but then a lot of the American stuff is, $349 or £ 303 https://www.dashboardpws.com/shop/guide-rail-bracket-bundle The benchdogs version is £189 but has there hinge system changed since the original shown in @petermillard s video It appears to now be stainless...
