Gas Safe ( not corgi anymore) cant force the guy to fix it, and its a very minor fault, not something he would get serious problems with, especially if he can prove it was by someone else. Myself, I would ask him to put it right especially as he is getting the service work - its a good chance to...

The ring should be protected by a 32 amp fuse really, 40 amps is pretty near the maximum loading ( each piece of 2.5mm cable can carry approx 22 amps ) if you look at any domestic fuse board, a ring circuit is 32 amp protected and a radial ( single 2.5mm wire) is usually 20 amp. Also, check...

Hi gents, thank you for the advice and the compliment Jimi - that's high praise coming from you! I think I will go for changing the blade, it looks too manky and will only annoy me, against the rest of the saw..... I am however going to have a bash at sharpening shortly - I have another saw...

Hi Bugbear, which bits are you referring to? It's pretty much exactly the same as the old handle. On my Lie Nielsen saws, the edges apart from where your fingers wrap are dead square...... I preferred the slight round I gave them. Lets assume I decide to change the blade....is this possible...

Hi, I got this saw recently with a job lot of old tools and whilst its nothing special, I fancied returning it to a better state. Now, the blade was a bit corroded and needs a sharpen, but its not terrible. I cleaned it up a bit, but I don't think I can get it much better than it is now...

Voting should be compulsory in this country, then we would not have the unfair situation we have now, where we can be governed by people who only 20 or 30% of the population voted for. It should be the same in any vote, all concerned should vote, in a union ballot, an election, anything. Then...

Oh My God, I am in love!!!!

What a complete waste of time and effort, I imagine that it would be statisically impossible to even measure the difference this measure would make. More EU gesture eco politics. I dont know how often you guys hoover, but we get the cleaner in once a week and Imagine the hoover is on for perhaps...

OK you will have to bear with me on this, my posts are too old to copy & paste from the CWW forum, and I dont have a lot of time to spare currently ( so busy with work I have not done any woodworking for about 6 weeks.... :( ) to write the thread again from the start. I will do, but it will...

There is a transformer to step the voltage to 12v...............so just ditch the transformer.

Cool, thanks for the advice fellas.

Does anyone stock or sell lee valley tools over here? I want to buy their rip cut dozuki and flush cut saw package. Cheers, mark

OK then, by public demand, I will copy paste what I have posted so far and start a thread here. I guess you can never have too much old Wadkin..........

I know Wallace is currently doing one, which is why I did not bother documenting mine here, but I have a thread going over at the Canadian woodworking forum, Vintage power tools section, which has details of my current PK saw restoration. So for all you Wadkin fans out there, here is the link...

Myself, I would recommend boarding over the ceiling first with new plasterboard - you don't know how well the previous boarding is done, simply adding another layer of plaster just increases the weight and there is always the possibility of cracks etc. I am not saying this is a definite problem...

Yeah, thanks........do you want me to tell you about the poo I had earlier?

I love my tools and love spending money on nice ones, I have what you would probably describe as a very nice collection, I never buy cheap tools, always top of the range, but sadly, I don't think I would ever be able to justify spending that on a single plane...unless of course if I was...

Here is a box I made to carry the ashes of our lovely stafford ***** Winnie, who passed on several years ago and has been residing in a pretty crappy box the Pet cemetary people supplied. It's dovetailed Rosewood, with a quilted maple lid and a leather base I was on a box making roll, so...

Thanks for clearing that up.....do you know if it's possible to download the material once subscribed? As I said, would really like to be able to take some away with me on holiday where there is very limited internet, rgds,
