Advice please, on how to repair a broken chair leg so that it will be at least as strong as the original. The chair is one of 8 in a A H MacIntosh dining room suite, which has been in the family for over 50 years, so it has some sentimental value. No brother-in-laws were damaged when the break...

Screws on Honda motorcycles are easier to remove without damage if you use the appropriate JIS screwdriver.

My Samsung ML-3710ND mono printer is still going strong 11 years on. The fact that you can still buy a new one must say something. I chose it at the time because of the relatively low running cost.

I bought one of these from Rutlands recently. It did not self centre, so I sent it back for a replacement. Rutlands tested the one they were going to send me, and found that it did nor self centre either. They then discovered that none of their stock of this item would self centre, so they sent...

We have a similar arrangement, with the added impediment of trees. Even wild flower areas need mowing annually, in the late autumn. An old style scythe would be ideal, cheap and environmentally sound. A walk behind wheeled strimmer would be OK, but if this is your only use remember to drain...

Slow speed bicycle. Five years ago I had an operation on my foot, to fuse three joints and stabilise them with a metal plate. The result is a foot that is pain-free so long as it is used lightly (5000 steps per day or less). However my wife and the dogs enjoy rather longer walks. The solution...

Country music fans may recognise the reference to a Conway Twitty track

Reference to Conway Twitty track ?

Very pretty. When we clean out the old nest from a bird box in the autumn it is handy to be able to pull off the lower half of the front of the box.

Here is a picture of the problem corner. Is there enough room there for a worthwhile metal splint?

Luckily I have some oak that I can put through my table saw to make a tenon.
