They're firing up the big mechanical CW transmitter at Grimeton, Sweden, this Saturday. Callsign SAQ. Frequency: 17.2kHz (yes, that's pretty low!). Tune up at 14:30 UTC with message transmission starting at 15:00 UTC. Live streaming on YouTube too. Well worth a watch if you haven't seen this enormous machine from the 1920's before. ...

I’ll be near a Lidl tomorrow so will try and get one. I usually use 2.5x glasses which work great when doing surface mount stuff.

Showing off with your 2.5 specs Pete, when working on stuff, I have to have 1.5 on top of 3.5. I can see and read components really well then lol

Good find.... 👍

When Gillian asked me to remove her fitted wardrobes and get them ready for a council uplift, I thought “oh that’s nice wood, it matches my desk”. I immediately had no plans I’d binning some of the wood. She thought I was nuts when I carefully took every screw out and didn’t just take the hammer to it.

I hated woodwork at the school, mainly because I was crap at it but I decided I’d watched enough joiners on building sites and learned a whole lot from Alisdair when he was working on my garage roof that I’d have a go. If it was crap, it could go in the bin. It’s not as if I’ve not got plenty time. This afternoons job was to knock this together. Still needs a little tweaking but it’s not bad for a first attempt. There’s more to come. I’m gonna have it like one of those American custom made shacks by the time I’m finished with it !! ... See MoreSee Less

Well done that looks fab! 👏

Looks good. Send me the sizes/plan.

Perhaps you should approach IKEA, to show them how to make furniture properly 😁😁

Nice work Sir - Looks great! Sturdy too.
