You set an alarm for +2C over room temperature, and stick a pan-scouring sponge (or something) over it, with a weight on it. Then just turn it off when it beeps. |

You're talking sh*te man, the brother in-law has one, these drills where on sale last year at £19.99 he's been using it for over 6 months and informs me its still working and charging.

They'll cut through small padlocks as-is. For larger ones I use two legths of steel tubing on the handles with no ill effects. The actual cutting part seems well made. sponix |

Laminated woodwork could be veneer on the outside of a box or it could be gluing a few laminations together whilst bent, so that they stay that shape once dried. You can clamp up with clamps, but that's hard work. You also want to have a continuous even pressure, not a few point clamping forces - so you can use a "caul", a flexible sheet pulled tight over the job. If you use a plastic bag as the caul, and you suck the air out of the inside, then you can have a few psi clamping force over the whole thing, practically for free. It's also easier to make jigs that resitst being crushed, rather than ones that can hold a pressure bag expanding inside them. |
