    Small Workshop WIP (including costs)

    It's been a while since the last update, so here's where I'm up to: Possibly repeating myself, but the cables conveniently fitted into the gaps between the insulation and battens (on the studs). See previous posts for why I've got battens on the studs :) And then I got distracted. My lovely...

    New Laws vs Mail Order Tools

    The Bill's "bladed article" definition is in Clause 18, subsection 11: The Criminal Justice Act 1988, section 141A is too long to quote, (see here for the full thing), but (for England & Wales) it says: So I'm guessing that the Act 1988 is the reason why things like scissors and chisels are...

    How NOT to get selected for a Jury

    I appreciate the intrusion into your free time - but if I were accused of, or a victim of, a crime, I'd like to think that the jury members were switched on and engaged 'normal' people, and not just the few (unemployed?) people who couldn't get themselves out of it. I have a friend who's a...

    Finally sorted the plywood for the roof, and the EPDM rubber glued down (except around the undersides). The water-based adhesive was easy to spread (similar to paint or PVA) with a paint roller, but the solvent-based contact adhesive was horrible. Brushes sticking to everything. Definitely a...

    nail gun

    I recently bought a generic Chinese 2nd-hand air framing nailer off EBay for around £70 (incl. nails) for building my workshop. The recoil is immense, I found I sometimes fired 2 nails if I tried to keep my arm still (which is scary), the 75mm nails rarely went in fully (often leaving 10mm+ to...
