    How do I reattach steel bracket?

    You could silver solder that pretty easily. A bit of solder, flux suitable for stainless and a basic blow torch would do the trick.

    Custom Catapult

    Thankyou I am thinking about building in layers, like you have, screwed together and just clamping the band between two of the layers instead of having the extra plates.

    Custom Catapult

    Great Job How far under the clamps does the elastic need to go for a secure anchorage? I made my first a few months ago with tie on bands. I am planning No 2 and am looking for a neater band retaining system, so am interested in how it works.

    F1, I would rather watch paint dry!!

    I grew up in Silverstone so I guess F1 is in the blood somehow, but I do understand how others find it boring. I find cricket boring, I have never been interested in it, never played it, I dont understand the skills, rules, tactics, personalities etc etc etc. But I bet people that know all...

    Bionic projects

    I am wondering why you have done the front edge of your scales like you have. (knife in first post) I am not saying it is wrong and you might have a very good reason for doing it that way. Just wanting to try something different is a good reason in my view But personally I would have brought...

    Packable towels

    I find that you get yourself feeling much drier if you have 2 towels. A quick wipe over with a small flannel sized pack towel to remove 90 % of the moisture and then finish off with your full sized towel. Saves trying to get dry with a damp clammy towel. Next wash, it doesn't particularly...

    Winter cycling / commuting?

    Rode 60k this morning, the last half hour a white out. (Northants, Bucks and Beds) I kept to gritted roads and all was fine, in fact, with there being fewer cars on the road, it was more pleasant than usual and probably safer. As snow goes, this stuff seems to be quite grippy, though I...

    Speed awareness course.

    If you are open minded about it you will probably enjoy it, you do learn something and you can chat and moan with a bunch of people in the same boat. 2nd time is a bit boring though :rolleyes:
