    Is it really a joke

    Added to the below is the additional problem for owners without a garage recharging an EV parked on the road outside a residence (cables across the pavement?). This is even worse for inner-city dwellers where one can rarely park outside one’s own home. On top of that the collective governments...

    New Bandsaw - Record Sabre 350

    Well I took the plunge and invested in a bandsaw. :banana: I went for the new Record Power Sabre 350 14" from Yandles and what a good choice it was. The adjustment is easy and appears to be spot on. Power appears to ample for the 28cm max cut . The only bad point is it comes in a single box...

    Completely off the subject of woodworking

    Some of you are aware that I have a fairly large piece of land (14 acres) of which some 11 is grass and the rest is scruffy woodland. In order to maintain it I have a medium sized 45hp horse tractor, a ride on mower, and this is in addition to the car, my wife's car and other battery started...

    Any experience with the " we buy your car" companies?

    My almost 90 year old MIL has finally acepted that she should give up her car and we've ordered her a mobility scooter so we need to sell the car on her behalf quickly before she changes her mind - again! We can definitely get more selling privately but it's a hassle as a 50 mile round trip for...
