You'll have to commit to buying before ebay will allow you to exchange personal details that could lead to a deal outside their system. You can try asking for a viewing but don't be surprised if your message is blocked. Brian

Sounds to me as though there were small errors in the individual squares which have eventually caused the distortion. I think you've got 3 choices:- Remove material by hand planning Heat up (assuming glue is PVA) whilst keeping it all flat and square . Now there's a challenge. Put it down to...

So are the squares thick veneers applied to the top side only? If so you need to apply similar veneers to the underside to balance it up. Brian

The bandsaw is not a precision cutting tool and one shouldn't get too reliant on a straight fence as a means of control. You may have some success if you have a new blade but as it wears it will develop a mind of it's own and will tend to wander. In this state the blade will still have a lot of...

The other one is about Ghandi who was described as a:- Super calloused fragile mystic plagued by halitosis Brian

The one I remember from Frank Muir, almost word for me word, is the derivation of the book title '1984'. A long and convoluted tale involving Cornish birds, political parties, Tintern Abbey and London mud worms but the punch line was:- NINE TERN ATE EFOR Brian

I've tried JB PlasticWeld and was distinctly unimpressed. It doesn't 'weld' plastic and it didn't adhere well to the plastic I was using. However JB also make Plastic Bonder which adheres to anything. I've used it for several plastic to metal joints. It has a problem though. The twin dispenser...

Having been the owner of a Multico M I would not praise them 100%. They are not the most ergonomic of machines; tool change fiddly, cross slide handle awkward. Multico quality was always middle-of-the-road. They built to a price but eventually couldn't complete with the Far East . Nevertheless...

I can concur with @ChaiLatte about the use of the toolstation vent pipe. Here I have used it to connect a 100mm flex to my drum sander:- In the 2nd pic you can see the use of anther short length which has been slit along its length to reduce its diameter. I've also used this technique...

As ever we will be utilising all sources of energy - wind, solar, bio, nuclear and fossil. In the medium term fossil will continue to reduce as we install greener methods. Some fossil will be ameliorated by carbon capture. Nuclear fusion is still worth developing to replace the new fission...

Scaling the concept up, you've been living with one just up the road at Sizewell for the last 60 years. Brian

There is some doubt about the authenticity of these quips. Nancy Astor is also said to have been on the receiving end. Here's the other one at her expense:- Lady Astor: "Mr Churchill, if you were my husband, I'd put poison in your tea." Winston Churchill: "Madam, if I were your husband, I'd...
