    Finish advice for walnut guitar amp head

    Laddo above is right about getting a cover. I ordered one for my Roland VS recorder a few weeks ago, and I was so pleased with the result I've ordered another for a different Roland, together with one for my Tech21 Trademark 60 combo amp. These are all made to measure, and can have logo's or...

    Chisel Buying Advice

    I've noticed that the latest Aldi handtool offers - including chisels and files - boast "Workzone" as opposed to the more-recent "Ferrex". Whether that means Aldi have re-connected to their old suppliers, I don't know, but the Sellers jobs were Workzone at the time... The new chisel packs only...

    The most frustrating thing you have encountered lately

    This is a pet hate of mine, that seems to disappear for a while before coming back with a vengeance...and once you've noticed it, it becomes infuriating. "Yes, we've worked here for 47 years..." TV interviewer : "47 years?!" "47 years..." "And how many times have you cycled round this park?"...

    Remember your first....

    ...ticking off at work?! Earlier tonight, I was watching some news report about how youngsters are suffering from mental health issues, and couldn't help wonder how they'd have coped with starting work in the 60's? My personal ticking off concerned being lectured by the branch manager, about how...

    Crikey! Not made in China!

    Yes! My wife's just bought me something not made in China! Mind you, it does say "Made in Hungary" on one end of the box, and "Made in Germany" on t'other, but even so... Unbelievable amount of packaging - 100% recycled material - but boxes within boxes within bags within boxes within....you get...

    Buying cheapest wood for woodwork practice in the UK

    As regards all the skip/theft/trespass business, I'm sure I read somewhere that any contents became the property of the company that supplied the skip! The original owner had "relinquished ownership" as soon the object was chucked in, and therefore no longer had the right to say you were OK to...

    How is lane filtering on a motorbike allowed and/or safe?

    Your comments re wobbling back and forth dodging wing mirrors...seen that many times! I thought riding balanced at walking pace was an essential skill for getting through the biker's test, but chatting to a learner rider a few months ago it seems as though it's not regarded as (too) important...

    Bloody women... Some are never happy, are they?! My wife's birthday recently, and I splashed out on a new bag and belt for her. Ungrateful? Not many! Done nothing but moan about them since! Well, at least the vacuum cleaner's working again....

    Popstars being hellraisers seem to have disappeared nowadays. Not like the 60's and 70's. No Rollers in the pool, no TV through the windows, no wrecked hotel rooms. Mind you, they weren't all like that. Cliff, for example. Kept his head down, and just enjoyed quietly slipping into the shadows...
