Cheap glue

Re There's a company here in SA that also recycles plastic They do lots of that stuff here as well Peter, - buckets, plant pots, park benches etc but it seems no one had thought of fence posts. They have also recycled and added it to bitumen for roads trials and a re getting more serious about even adding re cycled plastics, We also re cycle the road material which is milled from the surface and later added to fresh material. Big problem now is that China won't take our plastic waste any more so we have tons of the stuff building up (hence the road idea) We also recycle concrete from buildings and re use it, along with the steel. We have to come up with more ideas to re use plastics. Plastic bags are no longer used at supermarkets and we have to take our own. Apparently, wherever you go in the world there are micro plastics in the oceans, fish, lakes, glaciers etc so we are all going to turn into blobs of plastic and set solid eventually☹️😭 bugger! JB

Construction of a smoker

That's something we alchemists have been trying to do for years Steve 🤔 (I'm going back to trying to turn lead into gold!) After seeing the effects of a nutter setting fire to some car in our underground garage ☹️😠 I thought I might try burning model car ! If you do stumble on the secret Steve DO please let us know👍 Cheers, Doug 😎

EeZeBilts From Keil Kraft

Wandering far off course but had to sing a song about youngsters - in 2008 (?) heard of an 18 year old at the Beaulieu Auto Jumble - at the Austin 7 stand - had rebuilt a Seven by himself aged 16 made a very good job of it but had to wait for his drivers licence ........ Only one local tyre shop in Bournemouth was able to fit and balance new on my MG Midgets wire wheels - run by a youngster of 25 who devised the method of doing so with limited equipment. Met at least another three similar youngsters in UK - all very competent and skilled - sad thing about it was they were all emigrating because of the "Nanny State" and the "Elf & Saveless".

water is wet and so was I.

Take it easy Colin! didn't do yourself too much damage I hope. How about a cheap hand truck with those 4" pneumatic which you could mount the boat sideways on and wheel it into the water (assuming there is a small bank) you could even wheel it down a vertical wall at a pinch. A couple of pics re trolley (diagram is with a sling or gimbal setup)
