I just wanted to hide part of a post in <spoiler> tags. I couldn't see them. Can they be implemented please.

Re: Woodworking Tools

A lot of base model smoothing planes were often bought for planing the bottom of a door when new carpet was fitted - back when people went from lino to fitted carpets. At least thats how I think a lot used to end up in car boot sales. And now everyone's going from fitted carpets to wood floors :) I...

Re: Woodworking Tools

I was just trying to think what Aldi hand tools I've got: - a hacksaw, which is only used for butchery. The original blade is about ready for replacing. - a dinky socket set, which is great for odd jobs - a set of hook tools, which have been useful - a wooden Continental style jack plane, which I ha...

I'd love to try, but I've never seen carving chisels or gouges in Aldi. I should've looked harder :)

Re: Amazon Prime Bargains

Seems likely.

Way back, I bought some for cutting silver. Worked well. Bit softer than steel :)

Re: What I had for dinner last night

What do you mean sausage burger? If it's just sausage meat formed into a round, I take the skins off my favourite sausages and mush all together. If you have a willing child to do this, so much the better. I mostly use this approach for home made sausage rolls baked in bought puff pastry. Shop saus...

Bit specialist but really handy for cutting thin sheet metal, I use similar for cutting chicken wire.
I'm sure Aldi or Lidl had similar snips recently, but as three individual items.

Re: Welding ... ... 'snot woodworking, but :-/

If I am having any issues with rods sticking, I pop em in a microwave for a few seconds, but I normally keep my box of rods under the range. Ha! Back in the days when cookers had warming drawers under the oven (and we had stand-alone cookers :) ), I was advised to store welding rods in there. Didn'...

Re: Welding ... ... 'snot woodworking, but :-/

Biggest help for me - and I'm no welder - was getting an auto-darkening helmet. Just being able to see the electrode made a huge difference. No more fiddling in the dark :) Also, cheap kits usually come with a hand-held mask, but the helmets leave your non-welding hand free. I've seen people support...

Re: Makin' iced tea

Never been offered it, but whenever I see it being made it seems to involve vast quantities of sugar - or is that just the Southern USA version?

Re: What I had for dinner last night

I'm not embarrased, honest.

Chicago Town tomato-stuffed cheese pizza, with a packet of Serrano ham snipped over, and slices of parmesan added.

Twas tasty :)
