    Royal Mail - complete ban on bladed items from 22nd April

    It’s because they’ve had another change of policy - they were going for a total ban on the RM network but are now going to allow them as they’ve probably realised how much money they’ll be losing out on!

    Wood ID please?

    Pic 1 - looks like a distinct white sapwood to the brown heartwood. Pic 2 - the bark has the tissue paper outer layer with thicker fibrous layer underneath.

    Wood ID please?

    That looks more like laburnum than cherry to me.

    ****ing boiler system...

    That’s quite impressive! I used to have some water hammer in this place when I moved in but not that bad. I was going to play at fitting a hammer arrestor but after fitting an extra length of pipe work and some flex to feed a freezer with self filling ice tray, it disappeared. Clearly enough to...

    First seeds of 2024

    How does it work with the grow lights. Do they run constantly or do you have them coming on and off?

    Royal Mail - complete ban on bladed items from 22nd April

    What happens when it’s lost - no chance of compensation. A gamble!

    Royal Mail - complete ban on bladed items from 22nd April

    I haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere but apologies if it is a replication of an existing thread. Where previously Royal Mail would deliver bladed items via the age verification service, they’re now removing that option from the 22nd April. No chisels, marking knives, saws(?) wood planes...

    Woden Vice Restored.

    Looks good in red! I have a couple of woden vices kicking about that could do with some love. I have thought of a green but red could work. Probably more vices than I have space for though!

    Seed Catalogues

    I choose Real Seeds first! I find myself trusting them quite a lot - probably helped by the fact that they encourage you to save your own seed rather than buy from them repeatedly!

    What should the kids get me for Christmas?

    Just scaremongering. There’s nothing out there showing links.

    Brace bit in a regular, electric or pillar drill ?

    I was just about to post the same. The torque on my wrist for a self driving unit in a decent power tool is hard going but easily solved with the pilot hole.

    Drive by water meter readings.

    You can switch that job role to the Tesco delivery driver now.

    Vintage clamp/pliers?

    What a lovely design. I think that would be a good project for a machinist to replicate.

    How much should a gymnasium roof cost?

    Having had some roof work done at my place recently for the tune of £750,000, I think I can see how. I’m guessing cover roof is leaving the existing roof in place and overlaying, the same as part of mine was. They’re hopefully adding insulation. There may be existing insulation that needs...

    A smoking ban?

    Yeah, probably. I like this style of van as it’s a ramping down rather than a blanket ban. Fully banning it just wouldn’t work, especially for those who have been smoking for 20, 30, 40 years. This way the smokers die off without being replaced. Tax income reduces but so would the healthcare...

    A smoking ban?

    Aah, gotcha. I think it’ll be a ban after the last lot through rather than banning anyone existing. So it’s 18 now and basically they would be the last generation allowed. You at 18 can smoke now but no one younger than you is ever allowed.

    A smoking ban?

    I’m not sure I understand what you mean? Essentially what they would be doing would be saying only people born in 2024 (for example) or earlier can smoke.
