    Roll Top Bath Ball and Claw Feet Question

    On ours there was just a slot on each foot, presumably to either put a screw and washer into the floor once the bath is in place (impossible to get to with a screwdriver though due to the foot shape) or so you can mark the floor, remove the bath and put a threaded rod into the floor in the...

    Scary robot video.

    Sorry chaps, but that is not AI, that is a robot performing pre-programmed movements. No learning, no intelligence, just the viewer anthropomorphising based on human features. Simple animatronics at a high level, sure, but not AI.

    Canal boat people. Please help me out.

    Short answer - it is not for everyone and you will make lots of compromises along the way. It is not cheap, it is not comfortable and it is not spacious. If you think house repairs are expensive, then you are in for a major shock and don't get me started on the plumbing situation! Right, now...

    Disk Storage

    Not to hijack this thread, but has anyone got a link to an idiots guide to back-up storage? I have been working from home for 9 months or so and have most of the files from this time on my PC rather than work servers for accessibility issues. I have got a back-up of the files on a portable hard...

    Veneered box WIP - picture heavy.

    Thanks for sharing this - very impressive. When you wrap a corner, do you cut the veneer at a 45 degree angle or if you look closely do you see end grain on one of the veneer slices?

    Have you checked the chimney for dead bodies? ;)

    I’ve heard of inflation but this is ridiculous.

    A bit of both, but especially for PPE. We have seen an over 300% increase in cost of gloves at work. Since we order thousands and thousands at a time this makes a massive difference. No supply issues, but increased demand simply means profiteering even from major reputable lab equipment...

    Ply

    1 - yes, you don't need a back if you are screwing it to the wall, but I would recommend doors on the front. 2- dunno, never heard of plyboard as a term 3 - 18mm is ideal, you might get away with 12mm, especially if you strengthen with battens or similar 4 - Impossible to say, you have only...

    Social distancing, .. what's that?

    Can you define what you mean by private and corporate please? Research falls broadly into 2 camps - that of an academic nature to further knowledge, and that of a commercial nature to turn a profit. There is obviously overlap between these two things, with academic research leading to spin-outs...

    Social distancing, .. what's that?

    Yes, although as positions become entrenched people may choose not to listen! It is also worth recapping on occasion however, as people tend to forget where we have come from and how things have developed along the way. Disclaimer - I am a scientist, and have a scientific view point. I like...

    How to change career to woodworking

    Define 'custom furniture making'. Is that fitting kitchens, bedrooms and bookcases? Designing and fitting any of these, or making one off bespoke pieces to client specifications? Then define which end of the market you are going for - general public who need a better than Ikea but not...

    Social distancing, .. what's that?

    Gosh - 25 years in Science and currently a Professor in Human Genetics and I have been doing it wrong all this time :rolleyes: Care to explain why PCR is no use as a diagnostic tool? I am sure the scientific community would love to know as it is a staple of genetic testing and has been for many...
