This is a real long shot but I am looking for some heavy duty cardboard or plastic boxes to fit in a storage rack I have been given in which I want to put screws, taps,, dies, washers, nuts bots etc etc in my workshop. The boxes need to be 60mm high x 120mm wide x 150mm deep. I really need...

Confession. I am an anaesthetist who looks after lots of patients having hernias repaired in a specialised hernia 'clinic' so can maybe help a little. 1. The NHS generally (although this depends on where you are in the UK) will only fix your hernia if you develop problems related to it - bowel...

I made one which I designed a few years ago as a commission Really heavy oval mirror in a walnut surround, suspended in an ash / walnut frame / cabinet. It was based on a Pinch Design http://pinchdesign.com/products/iona-cheval-mirror - obviously I did not copy it though ;) Balance was...

I wasn't a million miles away looking at them as sums of different exponentials of small primes However, each of the numbers is the sum of 3 progressions small numbers (i.e. not necessarily primes) and one of them is a progression which goes from negative to positive - hence the 3 negative...

I bought 1 but then once it arrived thought 5 for £20 too good to miss so now I've got 6. Take the plastic lid off, drop it on the workshop floor and all mine separated leaving just the stones. There's a bit of glue residue on the fine side but even that comes off quite easily Regards mark

Got through to section 5 after finally working out 4b. OMG I have spent so many hours on this thing. Section 5 is on another level though. I don't understand at least half of those. Had been interesting g though. Dying to see how many people do solve it all

4A is powers of 2 ignoring 2nd digit I think

I am stuck on 4B The numbers are all products of various exponentials of prime numbers eg 101250000 = 2exp4 * 3exp4 * 5exp7 1728000 = 2exp9 * 3exp3 * 5exp3 4900 = 2exp2 * 5exp2 * 7exp2 360 = 2exp3 * 3exp2 * 5exp1 675 = 3exp3 * 5exp2 200 = 2exp3 * 5exp2 But I can't see a pattern in these - and...

well spotted. I was gong to mention that. It is one of the ultra-low ones - I think only 4W and it stays on for the whole winter (turned it on yesterday). I have not had any condensation of any sort but then again my workshop is so well insulated and only a year old. I thought it was a very...

After weeks of faffing around getting interrupted and getting other jobs done I finally got the time to finish off the bronze casting plane this weekend I epoxied in the infills which was very straightforward. Then there was a little bit of paring away the dried epoxy from the surfaces of the...

I made a 4" thick roubo bench from it in 2013 and there is a WIP on that if you are interested. If I knew how to link to it I would! Very tough and unforgiving. Don't get a splinter in yourself if you can help it - they are like marlin spikes! 2 years on the bench is still quite flat and tough...

Brilliant thanks - just waiting for a quote but this looks a great option Regards Mark

I'm putting in a kitchen at home and would love a bit of advice as to whether or not I can polish the edges of cut 20mm granite which will go over a Belfast sink. I have diamond holesaws and a diamond blade for my tracksaw - I was going to go slowly, with lots of water and Youtube seems to...

Thanks everyone Klaus I also am concerned about this way of fixing the infills but on the previous plane I made I riveted the infills and the hammering distorted the plane ever so slightly. This infill wood is completely dry now at 8% or so and I think it will be OK. Others have said that, worst...

My son's 21st birthday yesterday so we gave him, amongst other things, a 'treasure chest' full of important things from his young life - photos, certificates, sports trophies, favourite t shirts he had outgrown, the name tag from when he was born etc etc etc from when he was a kid. The oak was...

Another very long pause in proceedings... However, the lever cap arrived back from Chalco yesterday and looks great Even though the infills are not epoxied in place yet I could not resist taking a shaving of a scrap of oak - and they fit well enough to give enough friction to enable it all to...

There is a locked thread on this forum. Can I ask why it is still here at all? Reading the thread for the first time today made me wonder why someone on a public forum would deliberately bait the majority of readers with a nationalist 'rant'. So whilst I do not understand the motive behind the...

Very interesting - I must try a twin thread adjuster - are they both RH thread or opposite threads? On my lathe I think I will struggle to make those 2 threads absolutely concentric but worth a try. I salute you sirs! Mark

Sorry I meant less stressful than I thought - and the angles are clearly not exact but I don't think that matters if it looks alright

Thanks Pete and Mike All done by eye - far easier than I could have imagined actually. But the infills have not been glued in place yet so I did all the 'metalwork' with the plane naked M
