@J-G @Sandyn Whilst this discussion has been going on I have been trying to come up with the formula relating diameter to pitch. Having studied BS93 2008 data it seems that there is no such published formula. It is evident that there are clear relationships to pitch which enable the form to be...

I was in a similar situation recently with the sale of tools to a buyer in the US. My buyer requested the inclusion of a further tool after completion of the deal. We jointly agreed to cancel the transaction which the buyer initiated through the eBay procedure. The buyer got her payment back and...

Take the plunge and start dismantling. Take some photos on the way, they may be useful later on, especially if you need to consult the forum again. Taking this approach you may get a better idea of why the problem occurred and any apparent damage. As for resetting, cross that bridge when you...

I take it you are referring to these on Gumtree

The modern ones have some sort of plastic filling but they do not hold their shape as well. Brian

There were some lots of yew recently sold at Pughs sale in January. You could search their results for previous Tool-and-Timber sales to get a better idea. Yew is often in their auctions. Brian

I've still got my Flexicurve dating from school days in the 60's. It's filled with laminated strips of lead which are intended to keep its shape but it's really only successful for creating shapes on the drawing board. I use it occasionally in the w/s for small jobs. It's about 18" long. Brian

Splayed legs do not add to the overall stability. As long as the centre of gravity of the load is inside the footprint of the legs it will be stable no matter what the leg structure is like (assuming the leg structure is well made, ie, good joints and well braced). However that can't always be...

We had a large one come down just up the road blocking the road. It snapped off about 8' above the ground. It came down at 2.30pm and was sawn up enough to open the road by 4pm. Brian

Makita BL1830 18V 3AH Battery for sale. My Makita drill has been threatening to die for some time with a gearbox problem. It finally went this morning so the battery is now surplus to my requirements. £20 + P&P. The charger can be included if the buyer wishes. Brian

Can the plates be attached in any orientation? If so, assemble the leg to its plate, offer it up to the tray at the desired angle and mark the position of the plate. Brian

Then we'd have hold our drills in a cuk

You could try stabilising the plywood edge by gluing on a strip of whatever you have to hand. Cut off the the 4/5mm of plywood and glue it the the MDF. Then remove the stabiliser. Brian

A short video in its new home

The lamp is now complete but it hasn't been plain sailing since my last report. Having got it fully assembled I powered it up for a soak test and was alarmed to find the temperature had risen to 45°C. I tried boring 5 ventilation holes top and bottom but this made little difference. This was...

Have a look at this:-

On our first camping holiday in Germany/Austria our daughters were noting the town names as we progressed down the autobahn. In all innocence they noted that the city of Ausfahrt was awfully big:giggle: Brian

Have a look at the 51 videos produced by The Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Maine, USA. Really good no frills advice. Brian
