Just though people here would appreciate this kinda knowledge, especially as these tutorials show how to build some awesome kit with old junk may people will have lying around. This would make for valuable skill bartering.

thanks for that, but i think i'll give that a miss, seeing as how i'll be storing petrol during the fuel strike.

Interesting.

Thanks for that, but I'm bad enough at welding with a real welder never mind a home made one...
If I'd have welded the titanic it'd have sunk a LOT sooner...

That was cool. A very useful bit of knowledge. Patents won't be accessible after SHTF, so this is the stuff we need to know now. Thankyou Tibbs735
