P.M. me. It's been a while, but I think I still have a digital copy (I scanned). By the way, the reason I no longer have it is: it's appallingly dangerous and setting each function up is a grunt and a swearing match.

New screws. I remove, and replace a LOT of screws from a 1954 vintage railway carriage that my local heritage railway is restoring. They can be had - in slotted configuration - from a number of places, you just have to be diligent. Nettlefolds is s name to start with. P.M. me if you are...

This is a left hand thread too, don't forget. You SHOULD be able to get one in Blighty. Failing that, it might be an idea to go to OWWM or similar. IIRC, Craftsman or Grizzly had a saw the spitting image of the Waddy 10" box. Mehhh...Look at the rhs of the vernier jaw? Because of the macro...

Lads? The very-near's jaws are not parallel to the shaft. Of course it looks wonky!

Lathe, router, template, patience.

It's got "carving" painted on its sign, Bob; just follow the photo links on its Facebook.page. You never know...

I can't speak for your school's Senior Management Team, Stig, but our prep school ruled out masonry for pits because of the (relatively) sharp edges of breeze block, compared to 'timmer'. The point was raised that, given the function of the pits, ickle kidlewinkles would be in direct contact...

Chris 152? Just to round this off: I have a set of 3-4 "gender benders" in my lecky toolbox, specifically to solve your male-to-male (or female-to-female) connections. I stole the following image off eBay to show you and it's female on each side to allow two male connectors like yours to connect.

Yes. The gasworks site was still there when I came to Belfast in 1981, but was being wound down as Belfast no longer had mains gas. I am not sure if the gasometers were even still intact at that point. The site was subsequently "developed" (haugh- tho!!) into a business hub (appalling...

No Mucker, absolutely not. Just a good "Three R's " edumakashun: Readin', 'Ritin', 'Rithmatic. Go Phil. 👏

On that regard Phil, I suspect the late, great, D.C. and his mantras on water stones may have had some influence. Certainly, his videos are quite good at convincing one that water stones wear quickly.

Just to balance this topic: I - in my late 60's with three major medical problems - have contemplated my navel enough to realise there is an optimum tool concentration. Just enough to get the job done, and not too much/many that it gives my three progeny headaches disposing of them...afterwards...

Assballootly.

Tin? Metal? Detector? Nasty things on flights? 9/11, two planes hijacked using Stanley knives? Metal? Hmm??

Hear, hear, Terry!! The one oft-quoted retort in my former hinterland was: "It absolutely takes my urine to boiling point". I'm sure you can translate that past the prim American censoring software we all have to endure here.

The Wizard of Oz? Tin Man? :cool:

Coming from a profession with hundreds of nouns and adjectives derived from past languages, but each with a narrow, precise meaning (and thereafter usage) I cannot stomach the mangled version of 'English', written and spoken by those too idle to give it more than 0.01 seconds thought. I...

Check out The Venerable Wearing; at some point, he, twenty years ago maybe, confessed he kept his in a box in the fridge - "Clearly marked!"...Gawd Bob, who'd want to augment a sarnie with C.A.? Never mind yer falsies coming out with a dollop of peanut butta, just think what.....eeoowww!!

Ahh yes...Tee shirts we have known. Remember " Fly united" etc?
