Wobblycogs Workshop

  • I recently took up archery and I thought it would be useful to record my progression of equipment. I’m lucky in that I have found a really good club and there’s a particularly helpful archery shop a short drive away.…

  • I make a small amount of money through Google AdSense, just about enough to pay for the server that runs this site if you were wondering. I honestly don’t know if it’s worth it for the amount of hassle it…

  • I use a lot of different materials while I’m doing DIY and I figured it would be useful to keep a list of what I use so that I can buy them again if I like them and match what…

  • My tumble down house never seems to not need some work doing on it. At the moment that means I’m restoring the sash windows at the front of the house. They are about 200 years old and probably haven’t been…

  • This page details items backed using the Three Malt and Sunflower flour from Shipton Mill. This is a premium flour and at the time of writing is £2.45/kg (compared with £1.80/kg for plain white bread flour). The flour contains malted…

  • I recently bought myself a small collection of Abus Titalium locks. The name suggests that these are made from or at least contain titanium but as far as I can tell that isn’t the case. From the weight I assume…

  • I decided to have a shot at picking one of my Gege AP1000 cylinder locks (specifically #1 which is 55mm long and snapped.). The keyway and side profile of the lock can be seen in this earlier post. This is…

  • The locks below are part of my collection I bought them as a job lot and didn’t know what any of them were. These are my best guesses. Gege AP1000 Cylinders I have three of these, two in brass and…

  • I bought this lock as part of a job lot of snapped euro cylinders. All of them came with keys but none of them came with any information and it turns out cylinders don’t seem to have markings telling you…

  • This is a list of all the vegetables (and maybe a few other plants) for 2024. Mostly this is for my own reference but you might be interested to see when I plant things. I live in the UK and…

  • Each year I try something new with my vegetable growing. A few years back it was no dig, which was a great success. This year I’m going to try long life seed trays. I guessing I’m not alone in obsessing…

  • I tried the no dig method of vegetable gardening a few years ago and I was immediately sold on (most of) it. Laying a fresh lot of compost on the ground is far less work than digging it and as…

  • We’re growing much more this year than we have in previous years thanks to some extra ground becoming available to us. I was trying to keep everything in my head but it quickly became apparent that wasn’t going to work……

  • I’ve decided this year (2024) I’ll have a crack at growing sweet potatoes. From what I’ve read it should be possible to get a crop as long as they are started early enough and we have a reasonable summer. They…
