Hi All, Has anyone made a glass bottle cutting jig? There seem to be lots of dodgy looking ones around both commercial and home made but have a few ideas of my own so thought I'd ask the experts. Only planning to cut wine bottles and beer bottles initially (round) around the circumference...

Was looking for the photo's too. Leaky caps are one thing but the missing resistors may never have been fitted as many boards are used for different things by different Manufacturers. Have probably repaired 200+ Sky boxes with dodgy power supplies and never had a single one back! Jon.

Good luck Steve!! It's all about finding out what works for you, what you like, what you don't. Over the years I have probably tried most of the main diets out there. Always lost weight but then put it back on. About 7 years ago I was at my peak weight (37 Stone) many reasons but not...

If I were to make that i'd either use 4mm Dominos (as mentioned above) and glue for the uprights and 5 or 6mm Dominos into the back panel and screw through from the rear with pilot holes also using glue. Jon.

Had this in my bathroom, fixed as follows: Remove tiles Cut out all damaged plasterboard and let the timber dry out. Replaced plasterboard with Hardibacker cement board using stainless countersunk screws. Tanked with a Mapei tanking kit for the joints and then sealed the Hardibacker board with...

Yep, Did it myself and got about £4k from Direct Line, sent the letter, couple of phone calls and then the cheque arrived. Doing MBNA at the moment. Jon.

Hi All, Hope you can help, I'm working on a project that involves drilling holes into wood but not all the way through, 10mm max depth. I have made the jig to use a 30mm guide bush. Can anyone point me in the direction of a 22mm 1\2" or 1\4" bit that is suitable? The wood will mainly be...

I had a similar question about 2 years ago, I completely took apart a 6' teak garden table that was too big and rebuilt it into a 5' one that got rid of all the bad finger joints. Having sanded every component and spent many hours replacing parts I wanted a finish that would last. In the end I...

I'm 6ft 5" and was surprised how much room there was in a Ford Ka which was very comfortable. It was only a Courtesy Car years ago but very impressed by it for local journeys. It really didn't like London to Manchester and back in a day, probably because it was flat out both ways. My car at...

Sorry for the slow reply :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjPAAXP9yrY This one is 90 mins long and explains the history etc. of James Purdey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fac892fHBME Cheers, Jon.

Holland and Holland :) There is another great one by Purdey :)

Absolutely, Theft is theft. I have to agree that Gimp is free and open source (free) I only use it to a basic level but works for me! Jon.

Fantastic work :) I have an 89 K100LT :) Jon.

I used to shoot a LOT of clays, 20-25k a year, not so much recently due to Family issues and a massive cut in income :( Also use to shoot rifles from .22LR through 7.62mm and .308 at target and vermin. It is very enjoyable, safe and I have made a lot of great friends whilst shooting and...

Must admit that this post made me decide to use the Sikkens over Osmo Poly X. I used the Sikkens to treat an Iroku garden table I completely took apart and rebuilt, was originally 6ft in diameter but now 5ft as that was the size we wanted and the easiest way to remove all the damage where the...

Hi All, Have a problem with my Trend T4 in that it won't turn on unless is set at MAX so 30+K RPM. I'm suspecting that the speed control board has failed; has anyone here repaired the board itself at component level? I haven't opened it up yet but suspect there will be minimal components...

Cheers, It was made between Jan-June 1917. Will add some pics later. Jon.

Hi All, Recently picked up a vintage Singer Sewing machine that's been converted to electric from hand crank in roughly the 1930's from what I can tell. Struggling to date the machine, the pedal is around 1935. Do any of you happen to know about older Singer machines? Been looking around the...
