Sob...I didn't find that, now I will have to...

Ed, please give back the two hours of my life your link stole...

Thanks, Phil, for me every day's a school day, I didn't know that. My wife daily reads out odd things from the papers at breakfast time, helps sometimes with quizzes and crosswords. This mornings offering.? Lesotho is the only only country in the world which is wholly over 1000 metres above...

Ask an optician this question and he would probably go for the side that gives the most direct and straightest view with the operators dominant eye, usually the right eye. Think rifle shooters? Hence my choice of fence to the right.

A pull-out rolling two shelf unit with a plain front, held in check by a drop down catch? Tall cereal packets etc., would fit. I'm thinking along the lines of Dave above and would try to find a wire basket for the top. Poop-poop!

For the 'no wellers' amongst you, sheet of 25mm rigid insulation the size of your bench top will allow a saw set slightly below the ply to work right across. When not wanted it can live behind the bench, against the wall, or as I do, on the garage floor under the car.

My mentor, Carmelu Malia, in the shipwrights shop at HMS St Angelo, told me 'Don't move your grip or change the angle of the holding, just THINK about changing the angle, it will come square...' This was a man who could cut square and true across a 10" board without pre-marking with a...
