Peter, could you please expand and clarify how you did this? Colour me curious. Thank you, Sam

"Homers" Sam

Thanks BSW and Richard, good points; she is well aware of the size of the task. The firm had thousands invested in this for a specific angle in the trade before a lingering illness incapacitated her hubby and it never happened Three years on, scrap value is hard to swallow, but the white...

My sister is recently widowed and is trying to dispose of assets. One is a 52 seater, double-rear-axle, manual coach ( they ran a limo business for years). He did all the vehicular trading, so she has no idea where to advertise it. Autotrader commercials doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas or...

Yup. Search my prev posts. If probs, PM me. Sam.

"It's a pair of rebates out of a square, then the edge planed off....The little bracket/ clamp thingies were just cut out of scrap on the bandsaw. " Ahh! Penny droppeth! Still nice. Thanks, Sam

Wow. Just trying to work out a) how you came up with those shapes and b) cut them accurately...impressive. Respect Fella. Sam

PM to you shortly Phil. Id like the last one please. Sam

" Overall it is a shambles that could have been avoided - the pressures and outcomes were entirely predicatble 5 months ago! " Absolutely Terry. Sam

Bob, I will be honest: if the same safeguards of a) centre moderation and b) external moderation, of coursework has taken place, with English boards, as they did with my board (CCEA), the chances for inflation were slim. You were SO scrutinised, you could not 'pull a fast one'; in fact, the...

Just did Roger. Waste of time and energy. Cheers, Sam.

Thats pitch pine. It us VERY brittle and spliinters when you look at it sideways, unless sealed. The smell, when planed, is the giveaway. I have a benchtop made from.it, very heavy, very stable Sam

" Based on what I have heard on the news, it would appear that without the moderation the grades were far higher than they should be, the obvious conclusion being that teachers are at worst over inflating the grades or at best giving students the benefit of the doubt in tough times. " Dear...

Bob, it is not - for one moment - that we were teaching answers parrot-fashion, or teaching to a preferred format, but rather that the differences between the higher grades were subtle; they depended on a candidate's ability to discriminate - in detail - between closely related facts in the...

Learn to read. I HAVE answered you. Two clear, unambiguous points. " Please don't be another one like Roger and Lons. " What a compliment!!! Sam

So, dear Troll, you dont believe that teachers are not under pressure to improve 'their' grades every year? My Board of Governors insisted this year after year. A minimum of 3%, which equates to about 1 kid in 20 gaining a grade. Also, as we got to know any course by reading - closely - the...

"Any material increase in grades can only be down to grade inflation and over-generosity on the part of teachers." Patently, you have never taken part in grade moderation, otherwise you would realuse just how patronising, uninformed and plain wrong you are. Ever thought of standing as a...

"I think lifting the panels is too big a job. Despite my drawing the corrugated roof rests directly on the wall panels on the two side walls. I'd potentially have to raise the whole roof. I was thinking the frame might need to be tied to the existing structure as there would potentially be no...

Dave, I think you have the big brother of my one, judging by the similarity of the roof construction. Look forward to more on this. S.

Yes please Angie!!
