Fair enough.

I'm sure you must be exhausted after this sort of precision answering your own general question about the position of the hands on an unspecified analog clock with an unspecified...

Fair enough.

For a bit of fun, could you explain how your not pedantic calculations and assessments of contributors' various answers apply equally to predicting the position of the hands on a...

Sorry, I must have missed the bits in this thread that weren't pedantic.

Confirms the old comment that even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

The original question doesn't limit the type of analog clock to a quartz movement, unless one interprets 'regular' in the question to mean as regular as a quartz movement as distinct from a 'regular'...

Alas, my idiot neighbour has a line of tall and still growing cypresses along my northern boundary, which will render solar panels useless for half the year.

I could probably achieve a similar...

I'm taking it that you're not going up but just partitioning an existing space with timber framed plasterboard lining which isn't bearing any structural load, to make new rooms. If so:

1. 70x35 is...

I might be missing something here (and quite likely am), but wouldn't that result in 1:05:06?

Admittedly, I'm wedded to my brilliant deduction that it's 1:05 as the base. :)

Can't calculate it precisely (I never went past Form 2 maths and wasn't any good at that), but I reckon it's around 1.05 pm.

Reasoning is that the hour hand has to move through 30 degrees (1/12th...

Same here. Some sort of straw type pads.

They're a major risk in a bushfire, especially if they're running and sucking in embers, which is why my family has been instructed to shut down the...

Probably not. There is a bit of insulating value from direct heat on the walls as the horizontal steel channels supporting the cladding allow about 50mm behind the cabinets and hanging boards, but...

Thanks. That encourages me to carry out an experiment with ice blocks - the type sealed in plastic bottles - in front of my monster fan. Shouldn't be much of a humidity problem with that, apart from...

Thank you! Never heard of these. Googled them and they're readily available. Even better, they're made for dogs, which my old dog will probably like as he's finding hot weather harder.

Yeah, off topic, but particularly as every year for the past few years the energy market regulator warns us that there mightn't be enough electricity to meet all needs for the coming summer and...

I was thinking of a smallish mobile cooler that I could move around and direct at me where I'm working, rather than trying to cool the whole shed. Cooling the whole shed with endlessly rising energy...

Bit of a problem there as, although my 7.5 x 5.8 mt shed isn't lined, most of the walls are covered with base cabinets, hanging boards and shelves. A major and time consuming PITA to empty, remove...

Nothing significant.

Shading for first few hours of daylight, then full sun.

No lining.

Thin and largely useless foil insulation under roof.

Installing better insulation under roof is on...

On a very hot day my shirt is dripping in the shed after an hour or so, and it's all mine. Doesn't help that much under the fans.

However, these comments have inspired me to consider starting a...

Thanks for that. It follows neatly on abandoning the evap cooler idea. I'll look into refrigerated boxes.

Thanks for that. I'll abandon the evap cooler idea as yesterday was certainly the sort of day I'd want it to be fully effective.

My existing ceiling, wall and monster floor fans just move hot summer air around with only moderate cooling effect.

A mobile evaporative cooler would be much better when I can point it where I'm...

I've been experimenting a little with a Freud Glue Line table saw blade. LM75R010 | Saw Blades | Ripping | Glue Line Ripping - Freud Tools

Results have been a bit inconsistent, but I think...

4. A does an extra revolution around its own axis of rotation in addition to its own circumference around B's circumference.

Circle Revolutions and the Coin Rotation Paradox

Agree. My original post assumed it was a hollow core.



I'd charge about $220 - $300 depending on how square the jamb is and whether I have to trim the new door out of square and or fix the...

I didn't test it for touch and it's gone now.

By sight it was very fine, so probably like talc.

Exactly.

Also, the range of affordable woodworking and other machinery available to us nowadays is massive compared with what was available even thirty years ago. A lot of it isn't top quality but...

Along with general machine design; material quality; and manufacturing and quality control standards. :wink:



I seem to be starting too many comments with 'in fairness to the retailers', but in...

I suspect that the vulnerability is a combination of the high efficiency of the drive rollers feeding timber into the cutters at a rate which the cutters can't accept efficiently, along with plastic...

Was sold 'as is' with 6 month warranty. There are arguments under consumer law that this can't limit statutory rights, but in my considerable experience sellers generally don't understand or largely...

The grades of door, starting from the bottom in structure and price, are hollow core, solid core and solid.

Solid is solid timber all the way through, but usually made up from different strips and...

The one I bought was advertised as a spiral head thicknesser, which seems to be standard misleading, deceptive and or just plain (and implausible) ignorant conduct by most sellers of segmented head...

My lips are sealed. But they're not primarily a woodworking retailer.

Edit: Although my following comment in response to Mobyturns' post applies equally to some primarily woodworking retailers.

Bought some blackwood slabs from a private seller 8 or 9 months ago and stored them in racks under my house where it's nice and dry and a much more stable climate than outside.

Finally pulled the...

Is your measurement of 25mm the full thickness of the door or just the stile, being the vertical solid timber sandwiched between the hardboard sides? I haven't seen 25mm as a full thickness in off...

The problem is that I have no hard evidence that it was a returned machine rather than a demo, just the common sense inference that dealers don't put timber with metal in it through a machine in...

Possibly, but if it was a return rather than a demo I'd expect the dealer to want convincing evidence of a defect before refunding or replacing. I'm just hoping that there isn't some other defect...

It was sold with an express six month warranty as a demo machine. I bought it more than six months ago.

Correct.

Finally got around to using a thicknesser I bought earlier this year from a major retailer of woodworking and other machinery. Supposedly a demo machine and marked down a couple of hundred bucks...

Depending on the width and angle you need for the ramps, could you use something like this? Kerb Ramp Rubber | Enforcer Group

Agree.

Colours in first photo were a bit confusing but second photo is definitely a harlequin bug.

Used to be very common in Melbourne when I was a kid in the 1950s but very rarely seen where...

Can you reverse the cut, so that the cut face is upwards? Then treat that face yourself with a preservative so that the original H4 face is on the ground and you should get much better and longer...

Is the house only 20 years old or is it older and you've been there for the last 20 years?

Kalsomine disappeared a lot more than 20 years ago.

Mate, I am in awe of you. Demolishing the house and keeping the shed. This separates the men from the boys in shed world! :wink:

FWIW, which is probably about the same chance of success as winning...

Definitely go for the disc with swivel blades. The bar transmits any shock directly to the bearings and crankshaft and shortens the motor life if it's working on roughish ground. Although I think...

If you can afford it, get a self-propelled one. I've had a Rover one for years. Much cheaper than Honda self-propelled but does the same job. Also has a mulching plug, so you can use it as mulcher,...

I don't recall getting any Temu emails other than regarding orders. If I have had any, they'd have to a few per cent of what I get from Timbecon.



Similar here. For online purchases I use a...

Same here.

I think I posted this somewhere else on this forum, but a while back when I was chasing the Festool track clamps for my Ozito tracks I was told by a Festool dealer that most tracksaw tracks now are...

I must have had a rush of blood to the head when I bought one of those useless Kreg Accusaws. Possibly useful for someone who has a saw permanently mounted on it, but no good for occasional use when...

As with some of my other Ozito purchases, I bought the Ozito plunge saw kit and track several years ago as I could justify the cost for an experiment for one job but found it better than expected. I...
