Old/Broken Projection TV

Kieran from New Brighton

Are you disposing of an old/broken projection TV? I would like to have if and get the Fresnel lens from it.
It needs to be a projection TV, not an LED flat screen. See the website below that shows taking the Fresnel lens from projection TVs to make a huge sun light focusing collector.
Thanks, … View more

Any screen printers out there willing to offer advice??

My son has recently suffered an injury which means he’s going to have less mobility for a while and needs something to keep his mind active and spirits up.
He’s been interested in screen printing and I’m looking to get him a simple and inexpensive set up to have a go. I just don’t know where to start.
I’ve done some googling but am not finding it very useful.
Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers

I have also been relieved of depression
I believe I was born with this disease. As a child I ate more than what I was comfortable with on many occasions; eating the biggest apple in the fruit bowl, when I knew it wasn’t a good idea because I wouldn’t be hungry for dinner, but not being able to not do so, sneaking food, being overcome with the obsession to eat a can of cream corn in the middle of a Sunday afternoon, thinking I’m not sure that I want to do this but I can’t stop myself anyway.

During my adolescence I used laxatives because I was often constipated. I was only a little overweight once or twice in my life and there were times when I was “nice and thin”. One summer I thought I “had it made” because my stomach was flat enough to wear a bikini. I thought my eating was neurotic but I thought that other neurotic women like me ate like that and I would just grow out of it.
