Fantastic! Can we see some more pics.....maybe close ups of the locks and security measures? 😉 -
You have absolutely no idea how close to the truth you are. Buildings either side of that street have seen a fair bit of Police activity over the years. For what you're getting at is a couple of streets over.

Stainless Steels in warm, damp and chlorine environments.

Hasn't A4 80 roughly the same tensile strength as Gr8.8 mild steel? -
I spy a huge box of tissues on the right... 😉

That's a good shout actually. I've a cable tray setter I made when at college, that might do it.

Thinking to fire up the plasma in the morning and cut a say 16" circle out of some thin stainless sheet I have here as a start. Maybe drag the torch round an old wheel rim. Thinking won't a flat plate be noisy in the rain? Is a conical cowl necessary? I've no method either of rolling a downturn/lip on said disc.

All I got from that was "hands free".

I know using stainless electrodes for electrolysis isn't a good idea as it produces toxic hexavalent chromium, Cr6+ at the anode. It does work mind as I've tried it. -

Grade A2 nuts and bolts, by the sea, end up like a Swiss cheese. A4 is what you want. -

The printer will only print 256x256x256mm. Don't think I haven't thought of it. Mulling on printing 4, slip together quadrants that I could form cement over.

I need a couple of vented chimney cowls. Pot is 14" diameter. Any suggestions as to where, local roofing place ones are too small a diameter.

Time for some new Makita goodies- any good deals on?

I actually thought about doing that and jumping one mains lead into the other. -

The hole is presumably down through layers of different substrate. I've thought about this myself. Do you take out as much loose stuff as possible in the hope of bonding to the sides or undercut a bit more to make like a dovetail detail? -

I've thought about filling potholes with a heavily, SBR laden mix as it sets super quick and seems pretty resilient. -

Not boasting but compared to here that is nothing but a skid mark. A foot deep isn't uncommon. They are proper tyre/alloy killers. Managed to hit a rain filled one and it displaced the tyre off the rim the other week. Doesn't help my road is a seasonal water course / raging torrent at times. I did think once to kayak the 3.5 miles to the pub at the end of the valley. Posted a while back but this was the "road" at the bottom of my drive: Once that gets under an existing pothole it just tears it up. -

Dawn French could fill that. -

I'd like a dual charger but quite spendy compared to the single ones.
