Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?

When I updated the firewall last time I neglected to re add ports 443 and 80. LetsEncrypt needs those open to authorise the domain before issuing the cert. It should do it automatically again in July (it did in February).

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?

Going back to the Black and Decker Workmate refurb, I've drilled the required holes and it's had two coats of wood stain. One more coat and I reckon it's ready for action. IMG_20260405_150945~2.jpg I have a cunning plan for the table saw, planer/thicknesser and router table. I am making plywood base...

The other bit of luck is that she had friends nearby and they took photos. They also went after the lorry driver because he hadn't stopped. They caught up with him but he ignored them and drove away. I wonder if the lady will want another car after this but she really needs one to get about and liv...

Re: Miscellaneous DIY Projects (or bits of jobs)

I'm over there tomorrow to help finish the job, panels on the ceiling, fit the radiator and stick on the skirting and coving.

You can't beat a bit of this for sticking plastic trim on with :good:

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY

I have the same issue, the cable that plugs into my docking station has a broken clip. Fortunately the laptop also uses WiFi so when the plug does slide out the WiFi takes over. I have another cable in a tin on my desk, I've just not got around to changing it.

The original fibreboard vice tops were starting to deteriorate

Re: Seen in the News

I'm slightly confused by the sacking of the Radio 2 Breakfast Show host, Scott Mills. I'm not condoning anything he may have done but, what happened to innocent until proven guilty? The BBC sacked him over allegations made and the 'case' didn't proceed due to a lack of evidence. Was it a knee jerk r...

Another step towards my home workshop, unfortunately nowhere near the scale Colin's (not jealous :-)). The 'bigger' machines will be mostly used under the gazebo due to space restrictions in the cellar,. As well as the new 'vice' timbers I am making plywood bases for the table saw and planer/thickne...

I think I've sorted it, I can get a 4ft x 2ft x 1/2in sheet of hardwood ply from Jewson Timber in Colne. I can then cut it to size (twice) and glue it up to make the one inch thick 'vice tops' :good: Even better, went to Merritt and Fryer's (Briggs and Duxbury) in Barlick. They cut me two pieces of...
