Some fish die anyway if they are caught and released - especially mackerel, which are very sensitive to temperature change from being handled.
I fish for the pot, never see the point in catch and release. Interestingly, the coarse fishermen nowdays often have to use release mats to lay their...
Like @mtt.tr and @Keith 66 I’ve spent most of my life doing cabinet making, kitchen fitting, making doors, windows, fitted furniture and even built a couple of boats. If you’ve got £500 and just want a portable table saw you could have gone out and bought one in the colour of your choice -...
I’ve had a Startrite table saw for years, and recently moved it to my sons house on permanent loan Because of lack of space. As a replacement I bought a portable Bosch saw. It does the job, sort of - I’ve made a few window frames with it, but it’s noisy, bits of it are plastic, the cut quality...
There has been an increase in the number of false widows this year - shiny black bodies about the size of a pea. A really nasty bite that has sent some people to A and E, and they seem to like living under bits of rag in the garage.
Have you identified what the material is yet? It may be stainless, but it may also be satin-chrome plated or maybe nickel plated.
Brazing might be a possibility but if it doesn’t work it is then difficult to try any other sort of welding technique as it will be contaminated.
I don’t know...
Nothing wrong with that table that a piece of steel plate won’t fix, although It’s completely useable as it is, so just wait until something crops up locally. A few clamps (F-clamps are reasonably cheap), and you should be able to tack up most of the projects you mention.
Yes, Adobe has been the industry standard for a long time, so it makes sense for colleges to follow that. My brother is a graphics/illustrator by trade and has always used Adobe. As a freelancer though, and going semi-retired, he changed to Infinity because of the subscription pricing - he can...
Fair point, but on the other hand you don’t have to upgrade and your original version will keep working. And it’s still a better deal than the subscription method that Adobe use now - even the student pricing means you pay £208 a year.
Looking at it from the sellers point of view, they have to...
Another vote for Affinity, although you need Affinity Designer for logo and vector drawing rather than Publisher. I started years ago with Adobe software, but ditched it when they moved to subscription-based pricing. Designer is just as good, and incredibly cheap in comparison. More importantly...

Whenever I change the blade on mine it needs checking. A new blade is very unlikely to be at fault.
Not sure where to start with this, but let’s go with the fact that he’s a copper, not a trained automotive engineer or even a mechanic, so he doesn’t actually know what he’s talking about. Secondly, a laminated windscreen doesn’t explode. Thirdly, he could have exercised some common sense once...
As others have said, no knowing what’s inside that so it would be tricky to rout into it to make it look panelled.
An option I have seen done (by a professional and deffo not a bodge job) is to use 16mm plywood, cut into strips, to frame up the door, in three layers. careful sizing of the strips...
I’ve done 4:1 in the past and it’s ok, as long as the sand isn’t too soft. I use a pointing gun, so add a bit of plasticiser to the mix. Wouldn’t bother with a dry mix myself, it always ends up being full of voids and air and turns to dust in six months.
Had the same issue with a Samsung washing machine bought from Curry’s. Spent a long time on the phone to Currys customer (non) service, telling them that my contract was with Currys not Samsung, and eventually the woman on the other end got really nasty before putting the phone down. Printed off...
I use a Karcher window vacuum to remove as much water as I can from the shower enclosure and tray every use. Wet towels are put straight in the washing machine, or hung on a line outside on a good day. Then open the window and leave the fan on for 10-15 minutes. There is also a heated towel rail...
I’ve got a Raleigh mountain bike from around 1995’ish that I bought new (when Raleigh were made in Britain with Reynolds tubing). 3x8 Shimano gearset, and a front sprocket that is very slightly out-of-round to compensate for the change in the force you can exert on the pedals as the crank...
