  1. All I got from that was "hands free".
  2. 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.
  3. Grade A2 nuts and bolts, by the sea, end up like a Swiss cheese. A4 is what you want.
  4. Non working chimneys. Also considering making something like this:
  5. 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.
  6. I think it was @Jeremy Harris who used black uPVC board?
  7. 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.
  8. I actually thought about doing that and jumping one mains lead into the other.
  9. 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?
  10. I've thought about filling potholes with a heavily, SBR laden mix as it sets super quick and seems pretty resilient.
  11. 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.
  12. I'd like a dual charger but quite spendy compared to the single ones.
  13. Maybe three courses of engineering bricks first, something similar to what you've got. Then build your wall, including some low drainage tubes but paint the back with lashings of black bitumastic paint. If they get damp they'll just suck up water from the dirt behind, freeze, be forever spalling / blowing and just disintegrate.
  14. I'm mulling a Fajita brushless jigsaw. A tool I don't use a lot tbh. The s/hand Makita circular saw I bought is a bit gutless tbh. Blade looks alright. Brushes maybe 🤔
  15. I've genuine 18V Makita drills (3), impact driver, grinder & circular saw. I've then Fakita grinders (2), sabre saw, multi tools (2), palm router, paint spray gun and 4" chainsaw. I can honestly say I use the Fakita stuff heavily. Had to replace the motor in the chainsaw as I asked too much of it but that's it. The fake grinders were my goto before I bought a genuine one s/hand off of someone on here. Tbh I often prefer the fakes as they're slimmer and lighter as well as brushless. I only ever use genuine 5Ah batteries on the above stuff and other platform stuff where we print battery adaptors.
  16. I wake early every single day, mind racing. Overwhelmed is how I'd describe it. Everywhere I look I've unfinished stuff. Be it practical projects or "sorting pensions out". It's a hole I can't seem to get out of. Money is tighter than it's probably ever been so tricky to justify buying materials. I'm back eating crap as a comfort so the health isn't great. There's stuff I can't discuss on a public forum. Then, though there's a select few I confide in, I worry it's unfair to lay it on them. The Black Dog I think they call it. Shrink, life coach? I feel a bit entitled too. As in I'll help anybody, go the extra mile etc but it seems a bit one way. Just feels like a train I can't get off.
  17. I thought it was between midnight and 4am when the "veil" between the living and spirit worlds is thinnest? ’Tis now the very witching time of night, when churchyards yawn, and Hell itself breathes out etc.
  18. I can't sleep at night leading up to and during a full moon. Absolutely true.
  19. Was it you who shat on the drive that day?
