At sea we called them bottle screws but turnbuckle or tensioner screw is probbly a better description

There will be someone out there who has done one, utube is best for you imo

Some blokes strip down brand new gear to its parts as soon as they get it home and upload it

Right enough, I read and posted in it

Don't recall any product being plugged which would threaten advertisers and any spam post could be edited out

The mods may be able to clarify

Artistic licence

Like all those 1900-1980 period dramas where no-one smokes

A bit of common sense in a mad world

also has the potential to be one of the biggest storage facilities around

Well done you, the only real hassle will be humping it about

Might get there eventually, the tough bit is getting a nice straight bend along the length

I got a lump for less than a tenner from ebay last month and just like the above it's like a beautifully made piece of art you can touch

It is a bit annoying because these items were made to be used in anger to do amazing tasks

Found the patent for it too, from 1948

The missus only does photos and surfing shopping sites

her unit will never be used for much so I could never give a good opinion on W11

I use W7

I got rid of the 'S' option so she could use Firefox,

had to find a site somewhere to help me, but the big problem was the option didn't really say it was about to be removed, it was a sort of very bad way of saying it, no doubt by design because things are getting quite nefarious nowadays

That was the first thing I zapped, the 'S' option

Might be ok for youngsters to stop them going places they shouldn't but useless for adults

Even basic software refuses to run on it

You don't need a Microsoft Account, just close the Window that asks to set it up.

No longer an option with the W11 my missus had

There was a load of no-option stuff to get her Currys one going, quite shocking really

I'm sticking with W7 more than ever now

Very handy for showing you what's available

Hopefully they will introduce you to all the different types of welding

I just went through all their big brother stuff so the missus brand new laptop could work with W11

Never seen one where the computer won't actually work unless you register with MS

I used a Gmail account, and a lot of swearing at their new system, these people have no respect for privacy

It's actually ok once you get up and running (2 weeks so far)

I have her using Firefox plus these guys

Agree with the welding option, tig best, mig possible

To my eye, it doesn't look like there is enough meat there to begin with, and that's why it cracked

Presumably it's a non-loading point

I've smashed most of my extensive library up and dropped it through the scanner

Had to harden myself to the dollar value being lost but stuff from around the war and before was looking really dodgy in some cases and now it can be read and researched for 500 years

I'm no expert but absolutely any contaminant can cause havoc with paper over the decades and a lot of stuff was printed on not-very-good paper to start with

Remember that big airtight room in the Vatican in the Da-Vinci code film? or was it Angels and Demons?

I wouldn't be surprised if more recent print runs use lesser quality (save-the-planet!) pulp paper

I use the cutting tool to get things close then finish with the clock

This is why they want the Chinese kept out of the 5G market

In 20 years time they are going to know EVERYTHING about EVERYBODY and there's nothing we can do about it

The west, the East and the Far east

It's just like 1984

Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia

spooky

...and all because you wanted a free burger
