Looks great - any concerns over backlash on the gears? adam

I'd reserve it again, and, when they ring and say its not available, you can say they were warned several days ago, and it was obvious that their sale fell through, so you immediately re-reserved it! :twisted: :twisted: Adam

Our washer dryer uses a condenser, so there is no warm moist air produced. Intermittently in use, it has to drain the condenser and you can hear the pump spin momentarily to remove the water. It uses some additional water I believe, as the condenser also contains the fluff off the clothes and it...

I too like it - I like the idea of the handle in the lid being different from the other side but made from a single piece of the lid. Very nice. Adam

I checked with them and you are correct, they don't use a 'rat for dovetails, but interestingly they are all handcut. Adam

I haven't upgraded mine at all. I find that each use is so individual, and for a one-off reason, that repeatable digital micrometer accuracy that Tony mentions is not something I require. For me, it is the versatility of the sliding X-Y mechanism that I need, so I have not upgraded any further...

Why not the 'rat then? It is its sheer versatility at doing the most unusual functions/joints and processes that it holds its position in my workshop (not dovetails). Surely if these workshops are using the latest tricks and toys, why would this one be rejected? Adam

I'm not upset :lol: but I find your reasoning odd - they didn't have TCT blades, dovetail jigs, modern glues, vacuum veneer presses, routers, biscuit jointers, laser marquetry, internet sales channels etc then either*. But if they were around at the time, would they be using them? I think it...

You can ask them to remove that I believe. Adam

Did it explode? Or could it be a simple manufacturing fault and the glass fell away from the metal bayonet fitting, and, upon hitting hte ground, smashed into many pieces? I'd suggest a manufacturing fault, and, as ALF suggests, which the little'uns running around, why take a risk - switch to...

I've no doubt I could do it, but this disc in my back is what causes me a problem. Lifting and twisting are completely out for me at the moment unfortunately. Adam

Congratulations - hope everything goes well, and he settles down to sleeping as soon as possible! Adam

Bees are already in their new home - they moved several weeks ago. I don't keep them in the garden, they are nestled into an out-apiary - which happens to be a sheltered site just near the north downs. Plenty of trees, hedges and wildflowers within reach. They are already putting some honey away...

I'm not even going to try and get by without the calcs - it'll be just my luck after taking this long to buy the damn thing that I'll get the inspector who asks to see them.... The one builder I do know to be reliabably good has just told me he's booked up until after Christmas!!! :shock: Adam

Doh :oops: I promise, I was looking at OT when I started the post - where did I leave it in the end? Adam

We finally exchanged on our house (yippee!). We have a month or two overlap on our rental property, and whilst we have the opportunity to do a little building work without living in the middle of it, I'm keen to make use of it. We would like to remove what I imagine is a load bearing wall. Its...

Sadly, that doesn't work. People still ask the question anyway. Also, dado threads are good for the winter months, helps keep your blood temperature up. :lol: Besides the forum wouldn't be fun it we didn't have at least one contentious issue. The forum rules steer away from politics and...

Hey Jason, I had a nosey around. Changing your bandsaw blade looks fun :) Adam

La Truciolara, Can I just get you to look over the forum rules. I know this seems a fairly innocent post, but we do try to steer away from politics on this forum. Thanks, Adam (3.) No political discussion Over the years there has been one subject in particular that has caused a few heated...

Very nice. Really unusual, and makes it look very "custom" - as you'd never get that in B&Q! Adam
