Gardening Tips DIY Seed Tray Tamper by @fixed1t


It's seed planting time in the greenhouse or seed trays and there is no better way to start than to gently flatten the compost so you can equally space out the seeds to figure out what is plant and what is seed when they start growing. There are commercial seed trey Tamper's available but they are expensive for what they are so I made my own. You just need to cut a piece of wood to the size of your tray and put a handle on it. Here is my Gardening Tips DIY Seed Tray Tamper by Malcolm aka  @fixed1t

Removing Laser Printer Drum Lines And Marks Quickly

As I've highlighted in many of the descriptions of my  @fixed1t  youtube videos, most of them came about due to a repair I needed to carry out for myself or from the very long list that my wife keeps just for me ;-) a growing and expanding list. One such item was the fact that her laser printer was now putting messy lines, spots and smudges on her laser prints. After running the clean the drum routine (it hardly ever works) she asked me to fix it. So this is me Removing Laser Printer Drum and removing the Lines And Marks quickly and effciently. Althought this video is about a Brother laser printer the same principle applies to laser printer makes. However, there is never guarentee this will complete work and I accept no responsibility if you decide to copy what I show in this video, but it does work and often buys time to get another roller and or ink cartridge. I hope you like the video, if it helps you or saves you money, please consider using the Superthanks heart link under the video to buy me a coffee or biscuit. Most of all, don't forget to subscribe to the  @fixed1t  channel and share it with others. Malcolm aka #fixed1t

Surviving Poverty : Can A Meths Candle Cook An Egg Part 4

 

In Surviving Poverty : Can A Tealight Candle Cook An Egg Part 3 I achieved my result a temperature of 80+ centigrade and a hard boiled egg. The time taken was cut by a third by adding insulation to 2 hours 15 mins. In this video Surviving Poverty : Can A Tealight Candle Cook An Egg Part 4 I've substituted the Tealight Candle for a candle sized Methylated Spirit Burner to try and reduce the cooking time to reach 80 degrees centigrade. My modification was really successful as you will see, if you watch all the video. Background The UK economy is in trouble, normal working people are regularly having to work two or three jobs and shifts in order to bring in sufficient money just to live. The energy crisis caused by the energy companies price hiking with no controls other than 'The Market' ie themselves means that working people are desperate to reduce their energy costs, fuel bills and food bills to try to reduce the increasing amount of debt they are having to take on just to survive. So where does that leave those without jobs, or in such poorly paid zero hours jobs where they find themselves with only a few pennies to spare for heating, lighting, food and cooking or the old on miserably low UK pensions and disabled on benefits, the worst in the free world. It leaves them with nothing. So I've decided to set about finding out what I can achieve with the meagrest of items and over this series of videos I will be doing truthful and repeatable experiments and eating, drinking and staying warm with the outcomes. scenario one: So your in a war zone, you need to stay indoors perhaps in a cellar, you have limited water, only a single small candle and a lighter plus a tiny 250ml pan and one egg stolen from a local chicken. If you like the video please subscribe to the channel, and if you know somebody struggling with poverty, let them know about this series, the things I am learning will have greater significance than just the video and may spark them or yourselves into other ideas.

Surviving Poverty : Can A Tealight Candle Cook An Egg Part 3

In Surviving Poverty : Can A Tealight Candle Cook An Egg Part 2 I achieved my result a temperature of 80+ centigrade and a hard boiled egg. It can be done with patience, you can cook a hard boiled egg, this video shows how. However, it took a very long time to boil the egg a toal of 3 hours 52 mins. In this video Surviving Poverty : Can A Tealight Candle Cook An Egg Part 3 I've made some alterations to the plan in order to try and reduce the cooking time and therefore cut the time the candle is burning. My changes were really successful as you will see, if you watch all the video.

Surviving Poverty : Can A Tealight Candle Cook An Egg Part 2

In Surviving Poverty : Can A Tealight Candle Cook An Egg Part 1 I attempted to heat a small 250ml Turkish Milk Pan with a single Tealight candle to 80 degrees centigrade to hard boil an egg. I didn't manage to do it only achieving 72 degrees and a partly cook boiled egg. In this video Surviving Poverty : Can A Tealight Candle Cook An Egg Part 2 I built on the knowledge from the previous experiment and achieved my result a temperature of 80+ centigrade and a hard boiled egg. It can be done with patience, you can cook a hard boiled egg, this video shows how.

Surviving Poverty 1 Preventing Heat Loss Through Tripod Legs

Whilst carrying out my first experiment to cook a boiled egg from cold using just a small Tealight Candle, I realised that a lot of the heat going into the tripod mesh was being lost heating up the metal tripod legs. So I've come up with a single fix for Preventing Heat Loss Through Tripod Legs. In the next experiment we will be testing this theory, but here is how I did it.
