    Exploding Pagers - Lebanon

    But saying they haven't yet killed in 6 figure amounts isn't much of an argument. Bit like taking someone who has only lost one relative to someone who lost four and telling them to cheer up it could be worse. The attacks by Hamas were abhorrent and disgusting. Israel has regularly attacked...

    Organisation and workflow

    Teaching is a tricky one to balance - especially if your teaching work is coming home with you. I always found that when I had time I was too tired. Weather gets in the way and then suddenly it's Sunday evening again.

    Can you explain this table saw cut?

    Can you cut something man made (and hopefully stable) like plywood or mdf? If the cut is true - that would point to it being tension.

    Need to escape/reset

    Stig If they have pre-arranged a meeting and invited others without your knowledge then you can ask for someone (your union rep) to be in attendance. They can't arrange for two or three people to attend a meeting and just expect you to casually pop in unawares. Bearing in mind how this is all...

    Wire Brushes For Dremel

    Haven't found a decent alternative. Agree with the safety warnings. Didn't notice the cheap ones shedding wires until after I stopped. Luckily it was Winter and I found them embedded in my jeans and thick jumper. Leather apron has helped a lot - safety glasses are a minimum though - visor/face...

    Hand mitre saw blades

    If the length of the saw blade is an issue - can I ask why that non-standard size is needed? Is it to fit certain projects into the saw (e.g. box or a wide plank of wood ) or is it just that the saw donated happens to be very large?

    Surform with a difference

    Picked up some second hand surforms. One of them didn't have a 'cheese grater' style meshes underneath. This one had what I can only describe as metal sandpaper. It looked like a proper surform accessory though with the two clips in the right places. Has anyone used these before?
