Love liver pate, even the Ardenne chunky stuff - actual liver is abhorrent. Celery is abhorrent, it just is. Like aniseed flavor - cannot stand Fennel Celery is still abhorrent, it just is. Not massively enamoured of Gherkins and will generally pick them out, but really like Picallilli, tartar...

or "not a car" as one of the presents in that video is wrapped up as :) I always prided myself on my wrapping, but seems I've been doing it wrong my entire life !

Yes, several of us have bought from Kompernass when we found out that they sell extra track for the Parkside Track (plunge) saw they sell (that can be joined with the supplied track to make longer ones) - at not a lot of money, sent direct from Kompernass Germany. Contacting them via email was...

Just water is fine though you could add a dash of Floetrol to keep it open longer, which also has a thinning action - water based paints and varnishes can make spraying harder because of significantly faster drying times and takes a bit of practice to get the pressure and consistency just right...

Just going offtopic for a second - I think it's mainly down to the persons willingness to air their work among a crowd of some very skilled people, and even though I only recall one post where the criticism might have been taken hard; and it wasn't that bad in reality, it was just "that tenon...

I think you meant to say "most of the builders I've PERSONALLY had dealings with have turned out to be ex prisoners and criminals" Which means maybe YOU need to do a bit more "due diligence" regarding assessing people who work on your property. I'd also mention that the building trade...

Sorry but this is bad information, if it's from a vehicle it'll be tempered, and thus not "flat" enough for lapping a plane - there's a reason why makers like Ollie Sparks (a member here) use a certified granite surface plate and elbow grease - for some things there are just no shortcuts and a...

Could you post a picture fo what the item is and the value? I know someone in Torquay area whom does it as a "hobby" but is very skilled, even doing things like Chaise lounges. She might be interested if I've got more information to give her.

Funny you should mention about "architects dreams" I saw an episode of George Clarkes "ugly house to lovely home" and 2 architects had a good design of adding 3 extentions to a home, each slightly smaller than the previous - "russian doll" they called it - and the design LOOKED great, problem...

I had a similar problem with a plane and ended up lapping - I bought a 3ft long section of 10mm float glass (NOT TEMPERED!) and used clips to attach a long section of 60 grit fabric backed zircon paper (blue stuff designed for metal) and then flattened a section of reclaimed slate hearth that I...

Dingman56 - I think you might have unfortunately fallen foul of recent events regarding one or two new members whom have been quite rude and or impatient regarding the information they wanted, and treated the membership as though we should be poised waiting for any new member post on a given...

Previously posted on the forum Jan 2019 - hard to forget something like that; I even got an email reply from Seth after passing on some of the forum comments in the other thread last Jan, and he was appreciative of the comments and very humble about his creation.

what what? we've lost our edit function? edit: err nope?

Interesting tip shape just a biger version of a wood brad point bit, does it bog down when it gets to the larger section, as it looks like it would? Bit spendy, but if they last longer maybe worth it.

Extremely interested in these, but no need to add to the pass around as to be honest I've no way of properly testing thier tolerances against known standard gauge blocks or whatever they are called so will be watching peoples experiences with interest. Very good of you Peter to offer this as...

I wasn't necessarily advocating paying less overall, as the idea of performance related bonus was mentioned before my post by someone else, and my take on this situation is the position is being created to increase company performance, so to my mind, the two should go hand in hand. However...

Employers are always crying out for "good guys", finding them among the thousands of applicants even pre-covid is a different matter altogether. Until covid, I had a friend earning 32k for a 5 day week out in all weathers as a window fitter, now made redundant, who was previously a foreman of...

I would do this tbh, if he's earning you money as a subbie and he thinks he's better of that way leave him to it - offer the job on the usual websites for less (maybe 25k) and offer a 5k bonus (or not in this economic climate) or a 1 year review with increased salary after. Right now it's an...

And in return he's getting sick pay, holiday pay, regular GUARENTEED employment, possibly work place pension scheme, no more paying for an accountant to do his books, or the time himself (UNPAID) to do it, running a vehicle (and losing money when it breaks down), insuring a vehicle for work use...

Bamboo kebab skewers are great for plugging old holes from nails / screws - drill out a 3mm hole squirt some CA glue and tap it in. I did this at erikthevikings house when we had his floorboards up, his beams looked like swiss cheese the amount of holes they had and half the nails weren't...
