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...

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😂

"Who's paying?".... "The Duck. Put it on his bill"

One of my favourite singer/songwriters Jason Isbell wrote a song called "if we were vampires" about growing old together "Knowing that this can't go on forever, Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone. Maybe we'll get 40 years together, Then one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be...

Hmmm bit of a sweeping generalisation there. Not sure PMC, Rega etc would agree

And the 5/8s

Where do the batteries go?

Without starting a new sharpening thread 😩, I'm a Mac user and have been for about 30+ years, (so please don't launch into a diatribe about the evils of fruit named companies). One of the nice features of Safari their browser that I tend to use, and yes it's not perfect, is, it tells you...

To be fair, it would explain why all the doors I make don't fit

Yeah my battery charger won't sense a totally dead battery. Another way to get it to kick into life is to get a 9V PP3 (MN1604) and wire it across the terminals with the charger clips in place and it springs into life, obviously remove the PP3 😀

I've bought quite a few in the past and all of them fail eventually. Better off buying "pro" clamps IMHO

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

It uses your IP address I believe to establish geography. To get around it use a VPN (Virtual Private Network), you can then pretend to be anywhere in the world.

Sorry should've noted you were in Switzerland 😀

Fedex don't unless instructed by HMRC

We had black mould keep occurring in our bathroom around the shower. My fault really as I'd put a PIR extractor in and turned it off as the noise drove me crazy. Replaced it with a "silent" (hmmm) humidistat extractor that ramps up speed according to moisture levels, which has been brilliant.

I had similar to you last year, still can't find the outside stopcock but I did find a solution that I hope may help. Clean off all the paint and crud using a paint stripper or heat. On the top of the internal stopcock you should find a smaller nut (the gland nut) on the shaft below the handle...

Possibly the smoothing/supressor cap has gone short circuit? Disconnect one leg, and see if it runs with the earth on. You should really get someone savvy with electrics to have a look. Be careful.
