AFAIK all UK residents are urged to buy travel insurance before going anywhere - even inside the EU - and some countries won't grant a visa without it. Some of those countries have a nationalised health service, some don't. Question: Are non UK residents urged to do the same when travelling to...

2 email accounts - one for personal stuff that you hand out to friends etc the other for EE - everyone else - including facebook and linked-in - who can be quite bad as recruiters and other miscreants are obviously trawling linked-in. If over time you shop with a company that isn't too...

Bedfordshire - but my guess is his rate for this is somewhere around the £25 per hour mark for a week, which still seems pretty steep. However did he quote after an on site assessment? Because we don't know the state of the room currently - £1200 for doing a room in a house that's required a...

When I was a kid I read a Sci-fi book by Robert E Heinlein - part of the long story was about a guy whom had taken part in a diaspora of humanity to settle on a new world and how it was basically like the old wild west despite the technology required to get there - and there is one part that...

My friend, - you are clearly getting the hang of this woodworking lark - I think you've easily graduated from "oafish woodbutcher" to "journeyman craftsman". Apart from the sin of non clocked grain dowels - for shame! - the details you've put into that piece are lovely, unless Custard would...

BM101 and Happyhackers posts are spot on - it's not "expensive" if you are only paying for it once, far too many people fall into the trap of unrealisitically cheap now, then someone else again after. Hanging wallpaper in particular isn't quite as straightforward as most people think -...

I've always loved the Shou Sugi Ban / ebonised, sandblasted and related looks that have been around since the 30's from cabinetmakers like George Frank - and the POP that you get when you open a door or drawer of a cabinet finished in that manner, to reveal a starkly contrasting interior. It's...

There is a very slight shadow gap 'tween the sides and the back panel, but NOT where the shelves meet it - one must assume there is an LED strip running down either side wired to a low voltage transformer. That's how I'd have done it anyway. I wonder if the stone slab at the back is part of a...

That's a lovely thing - both the original and faithfull reproduction. Because of panelpins being prone to splitting in such thin stock I might have been tempted to try a different technique the japanese use- not surprisingly called "japanese nails". Wooden nails, drilled then glued / tapped...

This was going to be my reply - "celebrate" the joint, at least that's what I've heard this technique called - can't remember where I heard it, but it was suggested that celebrating a joint that isn't quite perfect will help to distract the eye from said imperfection - the joint itself looks...

haha brilliant - but it's already been proven several times that T&C's and EULA's that contravene law can't be upheld in court. Companies that offer digital download copies of software - programs, games or whatever are especially guilty of having T&C's that cannot be legally upheld, yet still...

Would fuming be an option - it'll go darker, and maybe help unify it a bit?

What about the staining the other side of the cut line? I thought that was what he was asking. Rockley are you certain that you can't convince the customer that this is part of the natural history of the timber? All timber is different, and this is part of that. I know people prefer "defect...

If you thought the robot dogs were bad - watch this, I recommend all of it for the full effect.... https://www.facebook.com/engineeringsci ... 037854785/

Hahaha - I saw the post title and thought - "I know someone who might be interested....."

What changes? *hides*

This ^^ Brandlin you have been quick to condemn answers based on a narrow and personal opinion, and just because you cannot always see the reasoning, you can be assured that there is one, whether you may agree with it or not. As AES said, most people don't really get heated about a topic or...

I'm sure we all understand the analogy, so I'm just going to be plain. Charley being the owner, he does retain the right to change stuff as he pleases, and I also understand he had little choice because the previous version wasn't going to be supported anymore. However I think what got a lot...

I think the first post should have been the item that earned the comment "those joints look like they have been cut with your teeth", which is probably my favorite comment so far. Will the new section get more traffic and posts to inspire people or less because us lowly serfs know we probably...

I got a stack of leftovers of bamboo flooring (close to two whole packs) and was planning to use it for just this purpose - Erik - if you read this, remember my offer for yours !
