    I'm a cyclist.

    LOL Lons that's almost word for word what a few people have said elsewhere about the lawyers, and you're not wrong either, I'd take that bet. 3 months maybe less before the adverts start in the UK.

    I'm a cyclist.

    Nope, I was merely pointing out that my previous point about not being able to give attention to every.single.pedestrian was entirely valid for the very reasons you are pointing out - to whit "I'm too busy driving" - so him saying I should no longer drive on the roads, because I cannot give 100%...

    I'm a cyclist.

    You know Jacob I'm going to offer a challenge. I offer to pay your expenses to come to Bristol, and drive up and down the full length of Gloucester Road at several different times of the day over 3 days, friday saturday and sunday. I will pay for TWO independant adjudicators to sit in the car...

    I'm a cyclist.

    That isn't what I said and you know it - what I said was it's IMPOSSIBLE to drive down a road, busy with pedestrians, some of whom now seem to feel they have been given carte blanch to just "step out" into the road - without coasting along at 5mph with your right foot hovering over the brake...

    My dilemma

    A friend has a flip saw, an older dewalt, and while useful it has lots of flaws, such as huge gaps around the blade so cutting anything thinner than about an inch will fall through. Blade angle setup is a PITA and the fence is woeful - these things are designed for ripping and trimming timbers...

    My dilemma

    Sorry for the late reply, yes that is indeed the one. It does have a depth stop feature, and I have used it for lap joints myself, and can attest that it has almost no "flex" in that either; of the several other mitre saws I've used, when using the depth feature, (a turn screw to set the blade...

    My dilemma

    I bought the bosch 216mm mitre saw last year - BOSCH 0601B19170 GCM8SJL - very nice... almost accurate out of the box, and by almost I mean "perfectly good for most people", it had a 1mm discrepancy over a 300mm cut length, but is very easily tweaked and corrected. Very smooth action with no...

    I'm a cyclist.

    My bold. What point are you trying to make Jacob? Are you saying I'm a dangerous driver or that I'm one of the morons stepping out into traffic? (without any evidence of either, as usual) I'm neither. I've never been a phone zombie EVER, and I do mean EVER; not even in the last 6 weeks in the...

    I'm a cyclist.

    Pedestrians had priority, of a sort, if they were already crossing then yes motorists had to stop; but that law was written in the days when pedestrians were not walking zombies with an attention span measured in milliseconds and said attention is diverted away from where they are and what they...

    How much??

    I've sent them a similar email, stating I will as well. States "mahogany wood" multiple times - not "stained" or "coloured" or even "veneered". By most peoples understanding that would mean "pure solid mahogany wood".

    Having recently dealt with a client whom was the kind that just would not be told, no matter how many valid points are made as to why something shouldn't be done, I would imagine even if he had presented them with a written caution, they would not have signed it - they ARE lawyers after all whom...

    DO NOT BY FROM DELL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. RETAIL OR FACTORY OUTLET. They have proven to have some of THE WORST customer support in the business, and if Eriktheviking were still on this forum he would have a few very choice words to say about them and his dealings and personal experience...

    Cannot make flat edge with a cambered blade

    I've been known to do something similar and bought a wooden badger plane for the task and then added a wide HDPE strip to the "bottom" plane side to act as a rubbing strip and to lift the blade edge off the workbench. (a badger plane blade goes right to the very edge of the body like a rebate...

    Axminster price increases

    Then they should buy better quality machines and quality check them BEFORE SALE! Not our problem. If they want to sell direct from the manufacturer and bypass this step to save them money, then they have to accept the consequences, when people aren't happy to spend good money (and sometimes...
