    Bots.

    I disabled tailored adds at one time and started getting adverts for milking machines and Cow insemination services. (I live in surbiton). I turned them back on.

    ChatGPT - artificial intelligence.

    I couldn’t help but reply that the answer was wrong. That’s the force experienced by the car (caused by the wheels) not, as the question asked “we would feel…” (caused by the seat on your bum). The perils of poorly phrased ‘exam’ questions.

    Rubio vs varnish (but which brand)...

    So there seems to be a huge amount of love for Rubio Monocoat - at least from the USA. I've looked at prices in the past, and they seemed silly - I guess the importing was adding a great deal. Now there is a Rubio seller in the UK, I thought i should give it serious consideration. I'm in...

    Going around ever decreasing spirals until disappearing up.........

    Inkscape is a great free software package for creating SVG files. A bit of a steep learning curve, so I'd be happy to create a file if you like. I'd need some size information, in particular, what width of channel (or diameter of the marble) and the overall size

    Domino Jointers Are they really worth it, or just a gimic

    I have one of those. Amazing machine. However Origin was bought out by festools - Origin was a Kickstarter-type Of development by a couple of very talented developers in USA. (The motor of the origin is festools).

    private charge notice

    Maybe the executor who would have responsibility for the assets until such time as they are passed on. The executor probably has responsibility for allowing an asset of the estate to be used.

    Retirement options

    There is an interesting book I used to help me plan my financials for retirement which was called “enough”. It was all about encouraging you to think about the lifestyle you wanted post retirement and it too talked about phases of retirement with different spend profiles. Also to use savings...

    Confession. I have a Parkside problem!

    Yes. I use it on an dewali oscillating sander and also a hand held orbital sander. I used the power feed on the vac too so it automatically starts and stops. Most recently it was doing an apparently good job in a shaper router - until I got worried about the Spaulding.

    Confession. I have a Parkside problem!

    I have had the park side shop vac (I think it’s the same one) and it’s been great. Had it for four years. I’ve a slight concern that the filters I’m using are not the best (I routed some spalted wood and noticed breathing issues that evening). So I completely recommend the shop vac. HOWEVER...

    Model ship build

    The Tiller and belay pins This is formed from some pre-cut ply, which slots and glues together, before being clad with thin white strips of wood for the walls, and darker strips for the roof parts. This houses the tiller, which is connected down to the rudder. This is the point at which...

    Model ship build

    Next stage is very pretty. The bit at the back is going to be well glammed with some lazer cut brass fixtures. The kit includes a single sheet, which contains both a set of 4 windows, and also some outline, which represents gold painted wood. They all need to be carefully cut free though...
