Might be a bit too subtle for some folk. No names , no pack drill…

I was at school in Chesières, Villars, Switzerland in 1967. 12 CHF to 1 GBP Today... 1.1 CHF to 1 GBP Just sayin'

I've done this too plus the Sabre fence upgrade. Both very worth while. Don't be put off by the cutting needed for the guides - it's really not that difficult. The whole job took me a couple of hours, plus a bit for making the table & new fence square to the blade again. Also, get rid of the...

It's not as simple as a rip-off. It's non-trivial and costs a lot to do the design, testing and manufacturing of these packs, especially in an unforgiving industrial environment. As I'm an electronic design engineer, I've always had an interest in taking stuff apart to see how it's made. I've...

Do please avoid the cheap so-called compatible battery packs on eBay/Amazon/Banggood/AliExpress etc. They do not have anything like the same protection circuitry as the original stuff, nor anything like the quoted capacity. There's lots on the web about the dangers of these units. Caveat emptor!

Not exactly. The joke, such as it is, hinges not just on the nursery rhyme, but on the fact that Arby's is "famous" for serving roast beef sandwiches... you need both parts for it to be hysterically funny... allegedly... There's also the faint irony of the rhyme being about pigs and the joke...

Extremely tenuous & USA-centric as you need to know about fast food outlets which anybody with sensible eating habits would avoid. For the record, the only reason I know what this cartoon is about is because I used to live in North America - there are very few of these in the UK.

Took my dog to the park today and played frisbee with him. He was useless. I think I need flatter dog...

So, I need to restock on 8mm & 10mm dominos for the Festool... Where to get them now and are the alternatives (non-Festool) ones any good? Ta

Thanks for the comments, however just to clarify: for the past 10 years this has been in the hall of our eco house, which we run quite cool - it's a really constant environment.There is no damp at all and no local heat source. As far back as I can remember (35 years) the door has always been...

The back panel. The moulding is warped too - it sat in my wife's parents farm kitchen for 20-30 years and frankly may have been warped even before then. Originally it came from my wife's grandmother in Cornwall...

We have a family piece of pre-WW2 Waring & Gillow furniture - a nice, small, dark wood faux-jacobean dresser. The top small door is warped (see photos) - it's about 45cm wide x 30cm tall and maybe 15mm thick in the middle. The axis of the warp is horizontal and the max displacement is about...

Having spent some time living in the Middle East and in deserts/up mountains, a small but amusing factoid is that the Arabic for "desert" is "sahra" (in phonetic English), and that for "deserts" is "alsahari" or "sahara"! Deserts are often full of life and, IMHO, indescribably beautiful. One...

Should I be aiming for an oil-free compressor ?

Have a great holiday everyone! (from a beekeeper of 53 years)

About 100mtrs from the main house, this is my daily commute. Wood store in the cellar. Was originally an early Victorian gardener's bothy which I first rebuilt about 30 years ago and has had a new floor, structural work, electrics, waterproof internal plastering etc since then. Needs some tlc on...
