One day I'll have time for these.
All of them require no screws, nails or glue.

    Ability to make the tools? No, you do have the materials to make them**.
    Knowledge and skill, rather.

    ** however, I tried finding a small anvil at Bunnings. They don't carry anvils anymore for about 2 years. So, you may be onto something here.

      Yes, I can find one at blacksmith specialized stores (or jewellery for some small ones).
      Just not at Bunnings - which says anvils are things that even the handymen find unnecessary.

        well, with flatpack kitchens and even ovens available now, bunnings are not really focussed on craftspeople.. trade sales and diy-with-no-idea are the target markets now - anyone else is left pining for hardware shops where you could buy one bolt, one nut, even one special order anvil...

        There's probably not enough demand for new ones for Bunnings to carry them. Every guy I know who would use an anvil has already got one, and it's not like they wear out. The second hand market is pretty solid, and I'd take a eighty year old anvil over a piece of chinese junk iron.

        No problem is insoluble, but at Ksp = 2.943×10−25 Mercury Sulphide comes close.

          The probability approaches 1, yes.

          I'll have a look. Postage, however, may be a problem, this is why the market may be limited at any given time (i.e. need to hunt for one for longer).
