    Advice on multifunction 13A sockets - will I burn down the family home?

    I have a dual socket that has plugged into it a shaver adaptor to power a foreign lamp and various combinations of USB charging. I was thinking of buying a 13A multifunction socket from Amazon (can take UK 3-pin, 2 pin shaver, USB etc) but notice that reputable sellers like BG don't have...

    I’m in Kilmarnock and interested in the idea of the communal workshop. Can you say more and would you like bunch of cast-off narex chisels that I’ve replaced with newer Ashley Iles?

    Proof that end grain joints are stronger than side-grain joints

    On a more logical note, you cannot prove with a piece of evidence. You can only contribute evidence that counts as a fact towards a claim given sufficient warrants and absence of counter-examples. You can however, falsify with one piece of evidence (see Popper's work on science and falsification).

    Heating a workshop

    I’m not sure if ‘re-igniting’ this thread is good form or not. I’m persuaded of the oil-filled radiator approach for my tiny shop. 8.10’. I’m in Scotland and the shop is well-ventilated (see roof pics attached) and I wonder if there’s any point to radiator as I imagine I’d lose all the heat or...

    Cappuccino machine

    +1 for Hoffman videos. rule of thumb is that you’re better off spending more on your grinder than your boiler. We bought a Sage / Berville barista pro last Christmas for £500. Integrated grinder is only so-so and with repairers. now wish I’d bought a Sage bambino and eureka mignon for the same...

    Any (post 2008) Economists in the house? - Inflation.

    It’s worth reading Nouriel Roubini on this. He often calls right on when the global economy is about to tank as he understands the history and deep causal mechanisms. The global supply chain crisis could fuel a severe dose of stagflation

    Paul Sellers and Old v New Tools

    I’m an amateur wood wrangler and professional wordsmith (educational philosophy). You can decide on ‘best’ if you can decide on your criteria for best. For example your best pilot might be someone who can fly and navigate a plane full of passengers from a to b in a smooth, fuel-efficient and...

    Hard wax oil over hard wax filler?

    Can't see an answer to this elsewhere. I'm making a desktop out of American red cherry with maple breadboards and cherry drawbore dowels. Panel is glued up pretty well but there's a 2" chip between boards 3&4. I don't have good experiences with wood filler and am thinking of using Konig hard...
