i really suspect with transmission losses and reduced efficiencies with the fact only a small part off the day gives near full effective harvesting with sun in an ideal position the year over average will be perhaps 10 to 15% so perhaps 115w an hour average or 2.2p an hour [at 20p a unit] on a...

you need to store in room it will live in for the best stability inlay in the back say 12mm would help a lot and providing the moisture level is stable it should work brilliantly as an aside some years ago i made a bench style pine kitchen table about 2 ft wide without a frame because they...

my suggestion is do nothing for at least 3 months preferably even longer part off the problem i can see is you fill in with a wedge make a fantastic job and because you have filled in the shrinkage gap if it decides to expand a bit it will now be in the central section where the fantastic...

mmmmm first thought oooooofffffuuuuurrrkkk then my thoughts you have choices now all the stresses and shrinkage has happened and cracked then live with the hopefully small repair back it with sheet material say 12mm thick to try and reduce the expansion but fairly hit and miss the grain...

if you think off it the supply chain is supermarket sets out the coming years' requirement at a gteed price with the producers who will over produce to make sure they comply with the contract and sell the excess on the open market or indeed back as part off a promotion to the supermarket ontop...

oscillating saw perhaps 8mm sweep around an arc and recip saw 26mm stroke and with greater power so will slow down far less under load so 4 to 6 times the cut rate

really good link there and well done for sharing as it helps others understand that "normal" is no such thing other than people that are similar to you so many many many different types off"normal" :giggle:
