The country song "Country Girl" by Luke Bryan successfully manages to rhyme squirrel and girl. makes me smile every time, genius :)

Love trust, like an Adirondack design. Will the wood require any additional treatment to live outside?

There are a number of solutions to this debate that require looking back. I can never understand why car companies do not embrace lightness in the manufacture of their cars as we once did, While electric cars in principal are a good idea I cannot get on board with carrying all that weight of...

Exactly my point. What’s the point of a smart meter if they don’t charge you on the usage.

I have a smart meter but can't get my head around what is so smart about it. I have been pretty complacent of the previous year and have not really monitored the electric bill. I was so surprised that my most recent bill showed over payment of nearly £2000. I called them up and, they have...

If you are just a racist you will be pleased with the shorter queues 😂😂

Looks like a good idea. I am about to start a renovation at home and will definitely explore this option.

I would agree with going second hand as the quality of the older planes is at least as good as Quensheng planes new. There is a risk that you are buying a pup but if you look at a few before you buy you should be fine. They will need a bit of fettling but it is useful to know the tool inside out...

Very interesting and dangerous ( for the bank balance). What did you ultimately pay for these tools compared to the catalogue price?

I have always thought that woodworking machinery manufacturers don’t use enough dry wall screws. Sounds like the bearings in the grinder are going just to ad another level of jeopardy. Good work, Darwin Award nominee in the making.

You could leave the slab cold and use the insulation on top along with chipboard or osb flooring which may be cheaper. Suppose it depends what machinery you intend to use.

Run brickwork around the perimeter on a strip foundation, then line with insulation and pour the concrete within. Kinda like this-

The torsion boxes that feature on youtube do employ triangulation of sorts. Using long strips if plywood on edge, even with holes cut out at intervals, have inbuilt triangulation. If you then run ply strips at 90 degrees this will stop the longer strips from distorting so allowing the loads to...

I have mainly cordless tools and have over the last few years become a lot more workshop based and am up grading the corded tools as I go. I find with cordless router for instance you do get diminishing performance as the battery discharges, if it stops mid cut it can be frustrating. Corded...

i would always bolt through using coach bolts, if you have concerns whether the chip board will take it then us hex head bolts with a washer. You will likely need to pack below as the back plate must be 4-6 inches high and will be held in place by the compression of the bolts so won't rely on...

I would be I nterested to see how it would fair with a face fit test for dust as the performance criteria is different in a medical environment. Not sure you would get blokes to wear it but you could potentially use it as leverage to get them to wear the forced air kit.

Fortunately I don’t build houses.

Similar one on site, engineers work to 100th of mm and the chippies work to bang on!
