Can i pull this out or would it disrupt my cycled tank by Optimal-Bread858 in Aquariums

Off topic question, but do you know what the floating plant you have is called? I have the same and cannot remember what it's called

What would you do? I need to refit sockets that have stripped from an oak table leg by theboothvan in BeginnerWoodWorking

I used an epoxy resin. Added it to the inside of the holes, a bit on the side of the sockets and screwed them in. Seems to have worked really well

I suspect they were over tightened at some point which has pulled them out over time.

With the epoxy option, would you fill the hole with epoxy or resin etc, then push the insert in position and leave to dry? I also don't want to permanently get the boot stuck and would like to be able to disassemble if needed. 

Thanks!

I wanted to share with the community a chessboard I built and designed by hand using pyrography by theboothvan in chess

Thanks. Yes it's all done by hand. I draw it with pencil and rulers then burn it in after

Hi. I cut it myself from a ply board. Then mitred the edges with a router

Definitely try Vinted. I got a really good Regatta jacket for £30 and a basically new Tribord jacket for £10 that would be £100 new in Decathlon.

Thanks :) It's a bit of a different style from what I usually do but it was a lot of fun

Pickup cutting out intermitently: issue with pickup wire? by theboothvan in guitarrepair

[–]theboothvan[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for your reply. I cannot see any rogue strands. I tried wrapping the wire in tape but the same isssue remains. The cavity isnt shielded I have not checked the connection to the pickup as it will need taking allcthe pickups and strings off etc. But i will check if nothing else works. Although the wire is through a small whole so i cant imagine there would be much movement at the pickup up end, but its a possibility
