    Let's discuss market of internal combustion engines

    The 'hydrogen economy' is still very much a future based one. There are quite a number of practical issues that need to get 'fixed' before really 'available'. There are possibilities if one includes the use of point reforming technologies. (ie some kind of fuel is reformed into hydrogen +...

    Brown and Sharp 2G screw machine ?

    Nope actually better. The art of making cams is NOT simple yet a well set up cam operated machine is faster than the contemporary CNC machinery. Where the screw machine does poorly is on setup time - - - it takes a skilled knowledgeable individual time. Haven't set up any myself but was told...

    Boiler for putting around in small dinghy.

    You might want to indicate that these recommendations are made for COPPER boilers rather than for any other material.

    Budget HSS lathe tool grinder

    You just 'fly at 'er' if you consider grinding carbide tooling on coarse diamond blades as a normal function. I think that using a finer gritted blade just might make sense (and would save the coarse blade for my next tiling project!) and really not cost that much! (The last diamond blade for...

    Budget HSS lathe tool grinder

    Hm - - - wonder if the diamond coating on the blade was too coarse for the carbide? I'd have to check as I rarely had opportunity to use a diamond wheel - - - even CBN was seldom - - - (damn) can't remember what the greenish grinding wheel is but that was the most common grinding wheel I got...

    HELP, my shop is a MESS

    Hmmmmmmmm - - - - If you're moving - - - - well you can kill 2 birds (or maybe even more) with one stone! Buy yourself either a reefer trailer (drop it off the running gear and the parking stand (I've done more than a few and could give some ideas given a pic of necessary bits - - - just reach...

    Budget HSS lathe tool grinder

    Careful please if you're going to experiment with that tile saw! The blades work very well for cutting but they really aren't designed for much of any side pressure - - - I've never had a blade disintegrate on me but have heard a lumpy face from exploding grinding wheels called a 'machinist's'...

    HELP, my shop is a MESS

    Hmmmmmm - - - - you're declaiming how terrible your shop is - - yet in pic three you have shown part of it that's in pretty decent order. You might want to start by slowly expanding the area that looks like pic three (slowly is the key word here). (My experience was that when there is only...

    In English is now considered appropriate to use 'more better'. You know - - - - like 'more good' and a load of other such. AIUI German still uses the superlative the English language - - - not so much - - - its too much like work you understand. (As languages change and today the English...

    What - - - you don't remember that the present English crown is actually a descendant of the 'German George' (Actually the elector Georg from Hannover!)

    Apologies - - - I couldn't remember what the rule was - - - you know long vowel means single or double consonant. (Too many exceptions to the exceptions so I've been slowly losing some of the less useful ones. Anyone notice that the superlative is no longer used?)
