    Wood ID please?

    None of it looks like yew. It looks like cherry to me.

    Rats in a trap...

    Rats have many natural predators here but, they are rodents and where there is enough food and shelter they multiply quickly. They are prey. That is what prey does. Rats can be released from a trap quite legally. Why you would want to go to the effort of trapping a rat and then letting it go...

    There is no such legal classification

    Wood burning - Lime

    I'm sorry but that's total nonsense. Are woodburner salesmen also qualified meteoroligists? How do they know that you'll only need your woodburner at full capacity for a few days a year? Every winter is totally different to the one that preceeded it these days. I'd be pretty annoyed if...

    Wood burning - Lime

    Eh? That's daft. Why wouldn't you just worj out the output needed then get a stove with the output needed? Rather than more or less? If you get one smaller, you needed less surely? That's like knowing you'll need a car with an 80 litre fuel tank to undertake a journey but getting one with a...

    Log/Briquette Maker - which one's work?

    This is what I do. Amazon packaging is pretty good to stuff full of shavings. I had one of the cheao briquette makers when we moved house as we had so much packing paper and cardboard left over. I let it soak in a water butt for a few days until it was really pulpy then pressed it into...

    Tree/Wood Species?

    No. That's definitely not been true for me. I've felled hundreds of lime trees so I've seen a fair few freshly cut stumps. I was just going off the little bits of epicormic growth you can see off the main stem.

    Chalk deposit in toilet pan

    This. I pour vinegar into the pan overnight and into the cistern. If it's really stubborn then add citric acid crystals as well.

    Anyone else?

    I don't "still" have one. But I do have one. When my grandfather died and my grandmother was clearing out his garage I took his old sea chest which had a mixture of hand tools in it. Including one of these hacksaws, which I use fairly frequently.

    Skip ratting.

    Was her dad a DIY er? Maybe he'd been stashing it.

    Reinforcing loose wall plugs.

    Or can you affix a batten the full height of the baby gate and then fix the baby gate to the batten.

    Permanent thread lock

    Will it be subject to any heat from friction in turning? I wouldn't know as I've never used it but I'd imagine that CA glue may fail at that. I have used Araldite and JB weld for this purpose but on much smaller items and they aren't great. I think of them as cheap domestic products - Also the...
