    Joke thread

    @sammy.se Funny you put that up, when I was a sprog my platoon sergeant answered an advert in the local paper for a car for sale. It was a DB5 going for £5K (this was at xmas/new year 87/88) we were on duty crew, basically manning the office phone while everyone was on block leave. At first he...

    Got any recommendations for squares?

    For good quality V cost, I would recomend the I-gauging or Fisher kit. Funnily enough, i think Mr Sefton above just might, possibly maybe sells them

    Workshop - More questions than answers!

    First thing to check is if you are on a flood plain, then design from there with particular attention to tanking and having some way of preventing ingress from above ground such as inflatable barriers etc as part of the inbuilt structure of the building. The curve can be a good place to have...

    The biggest problem for me and what I would like to do is that the chambers are round cooking pots. I would need a chamber in the shape & size of a trumpet case for the parts I want to work with. admittedly If I could get one I could batch work the parts and be able to fit around 50 at a time in...

    Price of the sheet materials

    My bad, I meant 100% is imported, we don't make any. Also the first port of call for Chinese plywood is normally Rotterdam and then is moved onward to the UK so is technically via the EU. That may change now due to "B*****" and may now start to come here direct.

    Check the latest pricing for resin at easy composites. The biggest cost is dependent on how big they are as that will dictate the size of vaccuum pot you need presuming you already have a vacuum pump for veneering. It can take up to a week of sitting in the chamber before all the moisture is...
