I like the joke.... A cabinet maker works to the nearest 1000's of an inch A carpenter works to the nearest 1mm A Chippy works to the nearest house. I better go and get my tin hat.;)

I saw this old, very sad looking gentleman, as he bounced off the bonnet of my car.

I think from what you described. The on, auto off button will operate the the boiler either On - overrides any time clock and the boiler will be on 24hours a day. Governed by a thermostat. Auto - turns on and off from a programmer/time clock. Governed by a thermostat Off - Turns the boiler...

It might be that the TRV is a bit stuck. I've had success by taking the TRV head off, putting a drop of oil on the pin and pushing the pin down several times to get the pin moving freely - whatever you do, don't try and pull the pin upwards, if it comes away you will have a leak. Ask me how I...

How about something like a Valet/butler chair. Nice project if you fancy making something a bit different

Weston Union gets a bad rap because a lot of fraudsters use it. The son of the family I work for got turned over by buying a computer off the internet, they wanted the money sent by Western Union. After we realised what had happened their accounted looked at W/U and found they are a reputable...

Could you make the piece out of 3 separate components. Shape the bullnose on the end of 2 pieces of wood, cut to depth/width, then glue the 3 pieces together as per your drawing

If Ebay doesn't work out like Myfordman mentioned, I have found cps-farnell.com a good place for electronic spares

Thanks for sharing that, I've seen a few clips but not the whole performance. Absolutely amazing what can be done. And a bit scary as I have been watching 'The Capture' I'm starting to believe it can be done o_O

Could you use a scarf joint for the boards to get the length like they do in boat building? If the wood is well seasoned, I don't think you'll get any contraction along its length. If the top is then held down to the carcass/frame along its length with screws, with slotted holes to allow...

You could always use Veritas's plane vacuum adapter, they're out of stock at the moment but should be back in stock next April ;)

I'm no expert, but I think 1st fix guns are powerful machines that punch in a larger nail and probably used more for structural fixings compared to 2nd fix guns that usually fire a 16 gauge nail that is used for putting finishing trim on, where the holding strength of the nail isn't as...

@Spectric - I couldn't agree more, as you need to open and swap the mcb's this is very much leave it to an electrician, as they should design, test and sign it off properly. I was trying to give advise that if you ask an electrician to carry out the work, my preference would be for a type C...

As I understand it, its not the running load that is a problem but the starting current of the motor which can be sometimes 5 times the running load. A 13amp plug and fuse may blow because of the start up currents. If these where my machines I would look to have them on a dedicated 16amp supply...

Doh! Crown cut not quarter sawn, I'll get there one day. Your floor looks amazing, I'm sure that was a lot of work but certainly worth it. Thanks very much.
