I always get the tool insurance add on so as long as they're in a locked building they're covered with guaranteed same day replacement.

Don’t want to shag tools/batteries
Don't forget that lithium ion batteries have a tendency to explode/catch fire if overheated or subjected to impact. The tool manufacturers have spent a lot of money developing their battery packs and manufacturing techniques to virtually eliminate these problems can the same be said of chinesium knock offs? The last time I looked to renew my tradesman's insurance 2 of the companies who quoted had a clause that invalidated my policy if I left batteries charging overnight in client's properties, which implies it's not an unheard of problem.

Lovely looking work ^
I've been looking through guitar news again and have a serious case of the wants for this puppy:
Kirk Douglas signature it looks fantastic!

I've never worked at Wren as a fitter. They, like almost every kitchen company, will sell you a Kitchen on a design/supply basis, if you are having work done then it's much more economical to get your builder to fit the kitchen as part of their scope of works. Also you are much more likely to be left with electrics that have been installed and signed off by a sparx and not a kitchen fitter who "knows a bit about it" (there are good kitchen fitters about who have the training to do it but most don't and can be dangerous).
-
I have a spare ¼" collet that fits a ½" router. PM me and we can arrange to post it if you want.
An adaptor? Even if it worked I'd be VERY worried about using it.
-
The obvious problem is having to buy it through a trade. OK if you've got a friendly builder, but they are very opaque on pricing and quotes seem to vary constantly based on whim from what I've read.
Pricing is dependant on how much the tradesman uses Howdens and how good they are at flirting with whoever is on the desk when they place the order. The guys who use them the most get the biggest discount its also worth considering what their markup is - some guys will have a ridiculous mark up. Ask to see the Howdens invoice generally speaking if they are taking the piss they will be cagey about showing it to you.
-
For a wood working work bench you generally put the vise on the side you normally plane towards. Only vise I Have that is anything like yours is freestanding for blacksmithing.

How old is the house?
Old coal gas pipe?
-
I have experience of fitting both
Quality wise I have had many more issues with Wren than Howdens. You also have the added headache (from a fitters perspective) that once you have identified an issue you have to wait for a replacement, with Howdens you just take it to your local depot and sort out the return on the way in the following morning. On one or two occasions the defective part from Wren has been replaced with another defective part multiple times which was a major arse ache for me and my clients.
Overall I would go with Howdens. But if there is a style you like from wren it will still be good there just may be some more bumps along the way.

Crikey, I mis read and didn't realise that was you. As other have said there is nothing whatsoever wrong with that.

It seems to be fairly common, so much so that it now has me questioning if the reputation that bigsby trems enjoy for tuning stability may not be warranted.
Mind you I did come accross this abomination when searching for badly installed bigsby trem
From the Gibson Custom Shop apparently. It would appear that installing them on this piss isn't the worst thing you can do
-
I fucking love that guitar, however, it may just be me but is the bigsby in that photo installed on the piss? the tail piece seems to be off the centreline and the E string seems to be binding on the side of the bridge, then there is a Huuuuuge gap between the e and the other side.
I have 0 experience with bigsby so this could be normal.

Also on the budget 335 talk I found this video interesting:

Long haired trustifarian I think is the correct profession for a Martin (well a full fat one at least).
You can get some bargins on used 12 strings my brother recently bought this for less than £500.

Congress woman (of the lunatic Q - anon)gives speech at the impeachment proceedings while being broadcast live on TV in the states and around the world. All the while wearing a face mask with the word censored on it.

I find it quite a dangerous website to visit what with the potential to redline your credit card. Also I suspect that my wife would rather catch me watching actual porn rather than lusting over guitar pron on reverb. Neither would be an ideal situation though.
-
Democrat congresswoman alledges that unnamed representatives were giving reconnaissance tours to people who would later go on to riot.
'kin hell if there is even a small amount of truth to that then this is whole situation is going to get even more crazy.
Anyone want to guess who was waving the tour guide flags?
-
Heritage H-535 maybe worth a look? Made in the Kalamazoo Gibson factory on the original machinery.
Is it not mostly the original machinery? I watched a video about making 335s (can't remember where it is to link to sadly) and the man from Gibson said that when they moved they took the veneer press for the front / back with them to Nashville.
Don’t think they’re really any cheaper though.
They're more expensive than Gibsons but because the brand isn't as well known they depreciate quicker meaning that you can pick them up cheap second hand (but it on reverb apparently).

The harmonising on the ahhhh ahhs had me in tears.

In a last hurrah of county behaviour before leaving office Trump is about to order the execution of one of the most damaged individuals I've ever heard of (warning some of the article is pretty unpleasant). This is a woman who committed a heinous act of violence because she is mentally very unwell, has had violent acts perpetrated against her her entire life and has been failed at every turn by every person or organisation who were meant to protect her. Now that narcissistic orange fucking cunt of a cunty fucking baboon is going to kill her to prove he's tough on crime. I'm so fucking angry about this.

Also bear in mind that if you fit a bath like that you will either be left with:
- A MASSIVE bead of silicone round the edge of the bath that will inevitably sink back as it sets so that not only will it look shit to begin with but it will look even worse when it turns into a lovely black mouldy line round the edge of the bath.
- The bath won't be sealed round the edges so when you use the shower as per picture 2 it will wash all of the dust that collects under the bath into the middle of the floor.
- The bath won't be sealed round the edges and you will make the mistake of thinking that children can have a bath without miraculously removing ALL of the water from the bath over the sides. By giving them 4 directions instead of just one or two you have made their "job" even easier thus guaranteeing that your bathroom and the hall outside will be flooded more regularly.
- A MASSIVE bead of silicone round the edge of the bath that will inevitably sink back as it sets so that not only will it look shit to begin with but it will look even worse when it turns into a lovely black mouldy line round the edge of the bath.

you don't need an initial hole like with a jigsaw
You don't need an initial hole with a jigsaw either just the right technique.
- Place jigsaw "nose down" on the front of the sole plate a couple of mm at least on the cut side of your line.
- Turn on jigsaw.
- Rock jigsaw back so that you are plunging the blade into the workpiece. ANY FORWARD OR BACKWARD MOVEMENT WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS.
- Once you have the saw sitting in the sole you can use as normal.
This how I did sink cutouts before I got a plunge saw.
- Place jigsaw "nose down" on the front of the sole plate a couple of mm at least on the cut side of your line.
