Bushey Crossbow Murders - Neighbour recorded live incidents. Plus, unseen footage?
A massive departure from my normal videos. This is my take, as a neighbour, on the tragic events in Bushey, Hertfordshire over the past 48 hours.
I was recording a video in my garden when the incident occurred and caught a lot of the early responses live.
My prayers go out to the family and friends of the victims and survivors of this tragedy.

How to: Removing Label Glue from Containers, Bottles etc.
So wth is limescale remover if not this? I’ve put neat LS remover in my toilet and bath and it did almost nothing. Definitely trying this. I’ll try come back to confirm if it worked. The other comments have me hopeful.
Thank you!!!!!
Opened the top cover of my gas range to clean it up thoroughly. The metal sticking out beside the igniter is a thermocouple sensor connected to a solenoid valve where gas pass thru. It shuts off the supply of gas in case there is gas leak or temperature too high (not sure which of the two). Safety feature I guess.
Thanks Mate, I followed your sanding technique and it seems to have worked
Sander and heat gun are my go to
No mask? Is wild
👍👍
brilliantly helpful, thank you 🙂
Great job. shoddy hold out to the neet time it's pissing down.
Thanks so much for video...I saw this on my water meter pipe inside the house and it does have a pin size leak with white and green corrosion. Would you suggest I try to clean and seal leak and see what happens before calling plumber and if so what can I use to clean it off with? Thanks
Hi. I have tried both methods and clicking still going on. Have good spark and gas but clicking not going. What can i try next pls?
Hi Beaver. Sometimes it doesn't work and you've got to repeat the process. Just run the heat long enough to make sure it's completely dry and after that, it's a case of making sure you are meticulous with the cleaning and sanding. I find sand paper gets rid of much more dirt than washing, cleaning etc. Good luck and let me know if you manage to stop it this time. Ps, don't forget to hit the subscribe button. Thanks.

Do both sides first and then middle. If you do across, the last side will just raise the whole board.
Thanks for the advice Joe. I'll give that a go when I break my next lot of pallets down.Cheers.
What about airborne Lead?
That's definitley something to be careful of. I'd recommend full PPE, good ventilations, do outside if you can and keep all other humns and pets away from the dusty area.
@@essentialhandyman Thanks. Unfortunately it would have to be indoors.
What about Infrared?
Thanks for watching and commenting. I personally have never used infra red. Do you find it works well?
@@essentialhandyman I have yet to try it. Is Lead Vapor an issue with Heat Guns?
@@Artiej0hn0 I'm gonna have to admit I don't know the answer to that question. Sorry.
I got the milescraft sign pro seems like it's a step above the rockler ones
To be honest with you mate, after having the Rockler one for a few years, I've given up using it as it's too faffy and I've damaged the letters, the frame and a few router bits, trying to get it to work. I feel it's just a poor design. I've not heard of the Milescraft one before. Is it any good?
@@essentialhandyman i haven't got to use it yet. I work outside and it's been to windy here.
I have a tiny groove with staples running horizontally and I cant seem to use your wonderful method. Any ideas for this? I am really struggling . Thank you in advance.
Send me photos of what you have and I'll have a look at it and advise if I can. essentialhandyman@hotmail.com

Thank you for this 👊🏾 my 'garden/yard' is smaller than your extra space 😂 I was thinking of attaching a smaller pole to the top of the wall - shoulder height - but because of the size I need ideas of how to zigzag it. For your pole, can you not drill 2 small hook eyes either side? Have a great weekend 🌞 28 today 🤗 UK x
Very useful video - but please, please don't flush acid down the pipes without neutralising it first with some baking soda or ammonia!
Glad you liked it namirra. Neutralising it is a great idea. However, releasing it into the ipes might notdo them too much harm, as it will clean as it goes. Please remember to hit the subscribe button and watch a few of my other videos for more helpful tips. Thanks.
Great stuff 👏
Glad you liked it michael. Please remember to hit the subscribe button and watch a few of my other videos for more helpful tips. Thanks.
Awesome worked! Save my weekend - thanks so much! Clicking suddenly started while nothing was on (scary). Then turned off the breaker, cleaned the around the spark plug. Didn’t work. Then turned everything on, ignited all the burners, hit the breaker , let all the burners run on simmer/low for 30 minutes without power, turned off the burners, turned power back on and NO noise!
Boom. Just like that, peace in the home is restored. I find the clicking to be like water torture. Soooo frustrating. Mine has just started doing it again. So long as you realise it will happen every so often, it's fine. You just rinse and repeat. Ps, don't forget to hit the subscribe button. Thanks.
3 out of 4 hobs are clicking - but i think its a fault with the ignition button itself
Usually when it starts clicking, one dirty igniter will set all of them off, so you can't easily tell which one is the culprit. But I suppose it's good practice to keep the hob clean by doing them all. Good luck and let me know if you manage to stop it this time. Ps, don't forget to hit that subscribe button. Thanks.

One site correction, the actual and requested by NASA and still use by NASA is the AG seven. Basically it’s a standard length pen with a push button instead of a cap.
I stand corrected. Thanks for letting me know Warren. I'm always happy to improve the old knowledge base. Do you have either this model or the AG Seven?
@@essentialhandyman you’re welcome. I do not have the AG seven because it is very expensive, about $75 but I do have a lot of experience with the space bullet along withthe cap o magic models. I’ve only had one issue with the bullet pen, that being that if you’re not careful, it is very easy to have the grip fall off as it’s just on, but this can be solved with some glue. Only complaint I have with the bullet pens that they’re so small I lose them easily. Of the standard bullet pens, I’ve had four of them and I’ve lost three moves, but they are fantastic pens
Where can you get the pole-telescopic even better? Where would I pur chase something like that? Thank you
There's a decent one in the video description. Is that what you meant?
Thanks

Many thanks. I appreciate your feedback.
Clicked on the link for the product you have used but its not the same, its a very low strength, can't find a 32% anywhere.
The product in the link is the one I've used for years and has always cleaned my limescale off first time. I only used the Max Strength one (the 32% one) because I couldn't find the one I usually use. Yes 32% is very strong but in my experience, the one in the link has always cleaned my bowl 100%, just as well as the Max Strength one used in the video. Give it a go and let me know how you get on.
Соседи очень рады такому приспособлению))))

If you tip Sheetrock up like that to get a grip you’ll likely break off corners. Try the Troll with wheels for sheet goods and no above the shoulder grip.
I don't mind a little rolling of the corners, as the boards will be taped and jointed anyway, which will cover those inperfections.
My Jenn-air works the for the first part but once I turn off the stove, it started clicking again. I couldn’t clean it because there’s no way to shut off my stove, the switch that you have is no where in sight 😫
I think you may be in the states, is that right? I've heard you don't have switched sockets out there, so localised isolation would be a problem. If you have a main fuse board, you could turn off the cooker from the main switch, double checking it's safe of course, and do the cleaning with the cooker isolated from the mains. Would that work for you?
Update? Still working?
Yup. Still working although one comment I do have is that if you wind the handle too hard, it does make the drill and therefore the drill bit deflect a little bit.
@@essentialhandyman So slow and easy. Got it. Many thanks.
