    Posting edged tools in UK

    Is posting edged tools in UK still problems? Last time I recall reading the form posts that the seller of the tools lost the tools and money because of the RM scanning the parcel, and confiscating the tools. Is this still in practice? Is it only RM practicing this parcel scanning? Or all...

    Anyone still owns / drives LADA?

    This video reminded me of the good old 1990s. A few of the neighbors on the street where we lived had LADA cars parked along the road at the time. Now I haven't seen any LADA cars for maybe 25+ years.

    Do metals get old and weakened through time?

    This spade had been bought new in 1997 from Costco Glasgow. It has worked flawlessly and faithfully for all that years. It was strong like a tank digging and scooping soils, gravels and chips. It dug out many plants, trees, grass patches and weeds. But it suddenly broke yesterday when...

    BBQ fire starter from Azda supermarket

    Picked up a BBQ Fire starter from Azda over the weekend. It was only £1.50 for a packet, and looks like white chocolate board, which snaps off into a bar of bits in adult finger size. It worked really well. By just one lighting on it with some twigs around, it started fire no problem. I am...

    Bungee cords

    Are bungee cords useful? When there was strong wind a few days ago, my tarp and tent set up in the garden patio was taking severe battering. At one moment, the tent was shifting from where it was, and was going to fly away by the wind. The wind was about 50 - 60 miles per hour. I had to take...

    Running DIY WoodStove over night in a small cabin & safety issues

    Came across this youtube video. The presenter makes his own woodstove, and runs it over night in his small cabin while sleeping in it. Would it be safe in doing so? The woodstove seems huge, and not fully sealed for the smoke either.

    Which is better? In what ways? What wood burning stove have you? I have an old cast iron type stove (very heavy and rusty) and stainless steel one (lighter, not rusty but tarnished). Titanium stoves seem popular these days. But they are more expensive too. Are titanium stoves worth the extra...
