No. When coal is mined it doesn't leave a void, the seam collapses as soon as it's unsupported as the mechanical props move forward. There are potential uses for other types of disused mines, but generally it's for geothermal power.

As someone who has spent the last few years looking into this and finally clicked ‘BUY’ before Easter, here’s my thoughts having had a Creality CR10SE delivered yesterday and spent the last 24hrs printing like mad; There’s broadly three issues with 3D printing/CNC. 1 Design: Unless you’re just...

You don't seriously expect a big player like JL to inspect every single item they sell.

I wouldn't worry much, I've not read of any non-deliveries via Banggood yet. It might take a little longer some previous experiences due to some shipping avoiding the Suez canal at the moment though.

Best of luck getting a VAT receipt out of the system, but otherwise a decent way to get Chinese kit reliably without any added costs. Note the delivery times aren't quick, but everything I've ordered has arrived earlier than promised.

I assume this is one of those tricks eBay dealers use to keep a listing open without having to pay repeat fees. When they sell out, increase the price to something no one will pay, but listing continues for free until they get stock back in.

I don't think it's a chisel at all, there's no cutting edge. I'd suggest it's a pry for removing tacks etc when re-upholstering. I'm sure I've seen something similar in an upholstery workshop.

For the hard of understanding it means; "You've just written something that proves you don't understand what you're talking about." Not for the first time, sadly it's unlikely to be the last time either :-(

Wow, that from you ? It ought to be embarrassing to be called out so often in a thread

Please have the courtesy to comment on what I wrote, not your prejudices; "braking assist technology" The key word in my comment was 'assist' things like emergency brake assist, Smart City Brake Support, anti lock brakes etc.

Say something that says you've never driven a modern car with brake assist technology......

Do you think that happens more widely ? Do people drive assuming that the braking assist technology will stop them having a crash etc ? For that matter would people really trust the technology of saw stop enough to take serious risks ?

Not that I can see, £40 yes. The original design file is available free on Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5141361 You'd need a big 3D printer, more than an eighth roll of filament and run it hot for 15hrs. So if you could get one made and posted for £25 it would be a fair price.

That's hardly a basic tool. I'd been turning for decades before I bought one. They're also not an easy tool for the inexperienced to sharpen or use. More usefully; A parting tool. A 3/8" beading and parting tool. Both the above were tools I bought when I first started 35yrs ago and have had...

I'd suggest your first thing to do is find a Men's shed or similar and get someone to show you how a plane is used and assess whether your efforts at sharpening your Record have been good enough. Even an Axminster store may be able to help as the ones I've visited have had demonstration areas...

This is my understanding of it. Old lead pipework will now have enough limescale in it to coat it and protect the water supply. It became illegal to use lead for water pipes in the UK from 1970, so they're all old now. Risks only occur if the pipework is modified and new lead exposed.
