Look forward to seeing the end results, I've just got a Sliger SM560 recently.

It'll be before 1960 as I think its around then they switched to the finer threads, but probably older than that as the blue looks really dark like the blue on my 1940 Record plane. £40 isn't bad for a no5, I paid £30 for a No4 in the summer.
A lot of people use hammerite for tarting up old planes/vices.

First part of my new home entertainment setup for my bedroom. Sony 4K player and a couple of discs to test it out. Waiting for my TV and soundbar now.

Good call on doing it in the bedroom because you'll be asleep after 5 minutes of Dunkirk!

Saw it at the imax in Waterloo and quite enjoyed it. Didn’t think it was as boring as many made out. Hopefully BP2 should be awesome in 4K HDR.

Was there not enough lasers flying about for you?

Haha 
I just found it hugely dull, i'm all for films which tell stories without a lot else going on but i didn't even feel it did that particularly well. Having just checked it seems it's only 1h46 mins long. In my memory i genuinely thought it was about 3 hours.

Projector screen arrived and fitted. Just routed the cables better with some thinner trunking and then pinned the cable round the top of the skirting board. Need to level up the projector a little and then finally just waiting for the Mission LX1s to arrive so I can wall mount them behind the bed. Really pleased so far!

What size is that? Looks very similar to mine, mine is 133".
I bought some road cases to protect my decks on the road...

Maybe it's just the angle you recorded but that bit of extra projection on the left that goes onto the wall, it's annoying because the border of the screen is cutting through part of the image
Also, why would you mount the speakers behind your head ? you want them facing you

OCD kicking in, you're projector is leaning a-bit. Fix it.
Yep, you're right. I need to move it around so it isn't in it's final resting place!
Re. the speakers, I know the should be each side of the projector but was going to do them behind and pointing down for ease of mounting tbh. That and, if they're each side of the screen it would mean one is just behind the door, which in turn would mean my wife smashes it into the door every time!

No idea tbh, all new houses round here come with them on. Need them to keep the heat out in the summer and good for security, too. Never have them shut when sleeping though, it's so dark you can never get up!
I know, it was the blinds that got my attention too!
Soldato
Haha it's funny, I've been here so long it's just normal. I forget that in the UK it's all curtains. Not had curtains in 10yrs!

Probably not the same one but Ikea now do smart blinds which I believe are meant to be pretty good:

It's definitely not blinds in that vid, it's outdoor roller shutter. Very effective but not practical for a lot of homes!

Yea, they're built into the windows, so fully enclosed. Wouldn't like to retro fit but I'm sure you could.
As I said, they're needed over here to keep the sun out in the summer. Gets far too hot otherwise.
