I recived 3 texts this morning from supposedly Evri/Hermes from #07902382905

This is a rescheduled parcel payment request scam. Details on EVRI website of the Parcel scam

Beware. regards

I thinned some Galvafroid last year for an outside job with Zylene from Crosbie Coatings. Took a lot of mixing by hand but it applied ok and has stood up to the weather fine and I have still not overcoated it.

Many attempts at monorail, maglev etc have been proposed and failed worldwide including this one in what is now Cambridgeshire. The concrete pillars and track stood as far as I remember well into the 1980's and it is possible remnants still remain around Earith.

You can run a cat5 cable as described and use an old router in the shed as a wifi unit with a little setup change. Plenty of howto's online. I have an old BT hub6 in my loft to extend the wifi to the bedrooms. Works a treat.

+1 for Freeola.com When I had my own website with them I never had a problem. Easy to set up etc. When I reliquished the website I retained all the associated emails for a small monthly fee. I only changed from Freeola when I had FTTP installed.

Peter, it is worth buying one to have a look at. You can always return it for a refund if not as described.

OP quotes 5 TPI

Dont bin it as it is useful for anodizing/rust removal/testing stuff etc. The new types do not work for those uses.

Did not do much in the way of practical work today as I felt a day off was needed.

I did read through a pdf copy of Practical Mechanics dated October 1933. It was one of the best reads I have had for ages. Jam packed from cover to cover with things to do/make & experiment with. Lots of really neat adverts for all manner of things. I really enjoyed that and spent nearly all day reading it. I wish modern magazines could replicate the way these old ones were filled but alas I fear those days are gone.

I believe The Fairclose Centre in Newbury has a Mens Shed. Not sure what facilities they have but might be worth a closer look.

When I lost my 12v lead to my cooler box I used a spare fig8 plug temporarily. I just touched the sides on the belt sander till it slid in the recess & marked one side so I knew which way round to plug it in. I used it a couple of times ok until the errant lead showed up from its hiding place.

Here in Corby we have a new factory being built. House Fabrication. Link is to local paper report.

I would go for a layout similar to Issue No 13. Clean, clear & no clutter. Issue # & date at the top so easy to locate in a pile.The nicely sized "The Practical Hobby Magazine" banner shows who it is aimed at. No need for lots of little panels containing tiny script.

Keep up the good work.

I believe you can buy back issue magazines HERE if you require the whole article.

As Ady1 says you can download the pdf's for free witout logging in.

Cutting away from the chuck will produce a left hand thread.

Now what is the best glue for bonding the stone back to the steel wheel ?

I would imagine that an epoxy glue would be the thing to use. BUT you would need to do some research as to which one would be best. It would depend on the wheel size/speed/pressure generated etc.

Not a job I would fancy doing myself.
