  This reminds me they still owe me a Thomson saddle rail clamp. Had to chase them to get them to send the stuff they did have in stock because their delivery of Thomson stuff was incomplete, then the next delivery was 1 clamp and I'd ordered two. It's about 9 weeks since the original order.

  Probably the same as the Planet X ones, but they've paid a little more to have their logo stamped into them.

  Don't know if he was, but that's Dennis, Manchester fixie rider who's moved into the countryside. Per the ad "I live halfway up a massive hill now".

  Likewise. Mostly I use a router bit in a pillar drill with the feed locked - not entirely safe, but I'm more comfortable knowing the tool is fixed to the bench.

  Most pillar drills have a Jacobs chuck in a morse taper, often without a drawbar, so the lateral forces and vibrations from an interrupted cut can unseat the chuck from the spindle.

  You can get a router lift kit to mount a 1/4" trim router into your work surface. Attached example.

  A bunch of people were present on both BS and Twitter but having different conversations on each, now people are using their BS presences more.

  Consciously decided to stop scrolling Twitter a week ago, now only have it in case of DMs/notifications, got a schoolfriend who's extremely online on Twitter who also posts his stuff on FB, but I try to avoid arguing the toss about US politics etc on FB.
