Me too

Depends on how full the kettle is. We have cheap kettle (less than a tenner) and only fill it enough for one mug or two depending on who's around.

I bought one of the long handled brushes which attach to a hose. It is perfect for washing the car and much cheaper and more effective than a pressure washer...

I have a 18v Einhell combi drill which I am very happy with. It is powerful, good batteries (2) and not too heavy. Torque is excellent. I like the fact that here in the UK there seems to be a big range so don't need have different batteries all the time. But so far I only have the drill

I have a 20 year old teak bench which has never been oiled. When we got it I read up about treatments and found that I would have to keep doing it if I started. So i left it. Last year I did what I think you have just done and wire brushed most of the lichen and whatever off. I might do it...

Q: So did you propose to her as soon as she got out of jail? A: No I had to wait a year or two - you can't end a sentence with a proposition...

Q: Why is there music coming from the laser printer? A: That'll be the paper jamming.

Hi you are welcome to them Steve. I have a taker for the wood --- but if there is any left over, I could let you have it. I will be travelling via Neath to West Wales sometime in April so if there is some left I will message you again and might be able to deliver...

I have just cut down an old pear tree which despite being spoken to severly, failed to produce nice fruit... If anyone would like this for turning I have several logs which could be used I guess - somewhere in the back of my mind (!) I have the impression that pear wood might be sought after...

There's so much that is still awful! It's just finished awful...

My father taught himself traditional cabinet-making techniques and then made furniture for his home. That is many years ago, but we still use his furniture every day - in our home, in my sister's home in my daughter's home etc. It is a testament to him and his care - a lovely way of remembering...

Probably Victorian... perhaps Edwardian. The screw mechanism is a clue I guess.

I am frustrated by a not very durable finish to my lovely solid hardwood 'wind-out' antique dining table (Mahogany or Walnut?) which desperately needs some tlc... There are photos below of the whole table (less two extra leaves) and the worst of the scratched area.. The extra leaves are rarely...

Thank you so much for your offer Mikej460. My feeling at present is that I want to stay with a 125mm because I have so many 5in discs, abranet, etc. Thank you, too to the other advice, above. I was really interested in the Peter Millard video and also the Sealey version. I guess just now I am...

Happy New Year, by the way... I have a Silverline Random Orbital Sander which all but stops under the weight of the machine alone - it is the worst power tool in my workshop! So I would like to replace it with something better. Since I have 125mm discs etc, I'd like to stick to 5in. I am hoping...

I recently bought one of the cheap scroll saws for occasional use. Mine is from Von Haus because it is identical to lots of others and a bit cheaper still (at the time ). I have bought good blades and am still learning to use it, but I do regret not saving up and going for something better. The...

It also depends on what you are doing in your workshop. If you need to see fine detail it could be a problem, but for general work I have found that my bench under a south facing window is no problem. If you have other layout options it is something to bear in mind, and you might also want to...

This is the last project finished. A major reorganisation of my workshop. These are Euroboxes which come in various sizes and slide nicely on simple wooden runners. As you can see I keep fare too much stuff. Believe you me, this lot is still too much , but it is what I have kept after several...

+3 for Woody’s answer. I have done exactly that and fitted a vent louvre to the outside.
