    It seems only appropriate, under the circumstances, to play by the Rounded Bevel variant. So Short Diagonals are allowed but Long ones will incur a penalty, OK? I'll begin. Record No. 5

    Then I bought Famag, now I'm a believer, not a trace of doubt in my mind

    I think I saw a - erm - "special interest" film once with that as the background...

    New forum format

    When it happens, you get a message telling you that"so-and-so is following you". It's really quite creepy! S

    Then I bought Famag, now I'm a believer, not a trace of doubt in my mind

    [M&S] These are not just any holes, these are Famag holes [/M&S] I've had a set of Axminster twin-lip and spur drills for years, a couple of decades at least, probably longer. I've broken or bent a couple of the smaller ones but always been able to find a replacement, even if it was only a...

    Checking for square

    LOL! That was done the first day I got my first camcorder. I knew nothing. The better version is here:

    Cutting sheet material in garage

    Look at my wardrobe build on YT. I devote a whole episode to cutting sheet materials accurately and repetitively with a TS55 and an MFT. And if you don't have an MFT, you can set up your track with a Square of Thales

    A couple of Mortiser related questions

    Yes, I'd go along with that, GF.

    A little foxy minx

    Of course it is, silly me :) I have a friend who has spent his summer holidays for the last several decades working on the Nessie project on the Loch.

    Very nice, Bob. Erm... what is it? S

    A couple of Mortiser related questions

    As a fully paid-up member of the National Pedant Society... As a general rule, Verbs have the S and Nouns have the C. So it's a Mortice made by Mortising. Now where does that put the machine itself? Is it a Morticer because it is a noun, or is it a Mortiser because it is Mortising? Hmm. I might...

    MFT top with the RS CNC jig

    Possibly, I've not checked. That was possibly the one and only time I've used a guide bush with it. I used to have a few Elus. An original MOF96 which had conked out, a 96e which was wonderful, and a 177e which was the absolute bees knees. Centricity was never a problem at all, bang on, first...

    A trip down memory lane for some ?

    I once flew Maharja Class to Delhi. I could stretch out my legs without touching the seat in front and there was a coffee-table sized space between me and my nearest fellow traveller. Dusky maidens saw to my every whim. It was with Air India which had 4 planes, one was flying Rajiv Ghandi to...

    Memory man

    There is a book on my shelf (somewhere I forget where exactly) called "How to develop a Super-Powered Memory", by Harry Lorayne. It's a good read. Various memory systems, it's all technique, not magic. He would perform in theaters (sic), greet each member of the audience as they came in and then...

    Digital camera recomendations

    Neither am I, not to the extext of understanding all the tech stuff in this thread, anyway. The reason I like my Lumix is that I can have them entirely *****-proof if I want (Intelligent Auto, Autofocus etc), through various modes right through to Manual Focus and totally Manual exposure, ISO...

    Digital camera recomendations

    Good point about the weight. It's not a problem if you are using it in a studio (or workshop) setting, on a tripod, but if you are out and about, with a heavy DSLR and a few lenses, accessory bag and tripod, it can be a different story. I have 2 Lumix cameras, a now-ancient G1 and a later...
