    MDF edge lipping

    Is Glue alone enough to secure solid wood face frames on book cases and on 3/4 MDF desk top edges? I was thinking of making a rebated lipping that covered the front edge and went under the MDF to give a larger glue up surface? I would normally use solid wood but on my last visit to my wood...

    Retirement options

    A lot depends on the person. In general we work for money, despite what myths folk come up with. I've heard people waffle on that you have to be happy in your job...but sometimes happy jobs don't pay the mortgage or feed the kids. While its fine to say sod it and open an aerobics class in...

    Collection boxes and clock for Cambridge Central Mosque

    This takes us into a different world of working with materials and equipment on an industrial basis. They are in keeping with the mosque interior design but I'm afraid they don't do anything for me personally. Sorry.

    The most frustrating thing you have encountered lately

    sub quality Chinese ply, paper thin show face, debonds and insufficient glueline and rigidity and why suppliers keep insisting stocking it at sky high top grade prices.

    Recording of deaths UK

    What would you like us to say? You seem to be wanting a discussion about a third party source that make money from sensationalism. With that being the case how can anyone base any views on accuracy of the story and be taken seriously? Unless perhaps you are Richie Allen?

    Mitre Lock Router Bit

    For what it's worth. I tried these cutters some years ago but the setting up took me for ever and you have to follow the safety precautions and jigs required when changing to cutting using the router fence or you could be in serious trouble, especially when cutting narrow stock. There is no...

    Cans or Bottles, Can you tell the difference?

    I bought some cans of Carling. Lovely. I bought some again. Same place. Terrible. I wrote to Carling asking why they tasted so different. They asked me to send two cans, one of each in a prepaid package. Luckily I still had some of the original case. So they wrote back. Everything was fine. No...

    I don't think they would believe it nowadays?

    Colour tv's had just about launched and I'd never seen one. One dark Saturday night myself and two pals visited Greasy Bills chippy on our bikes for six of chips. Sat on a wall eating them I spied through a house open curtain the first colour tv we had all ever seen. We sat staring at the screen...

    I went to see the doctor and told him about an interview I saw in black and white tv about Spike Milligan. Milligan asked the interviewer to prove he, Spike was really there being interviewed. Your there because I can see you said the interviewer. You can't prove that said Spike. Yes I can. All...

    This puts the Virus into the shadows

    Its the size of the population and all the junk we run on electricity which is the problem. I've taken the tumble dryer off the wife, along with her heated rollers. I've made a start.

    Insulation thickness for walls?

    I used King Span products...great for blocking off a garage door from the inside too. Take a look at their site. I'm not sure if they are making timber faced wall insulation which would cut down on the time to fit your space out. Don't forget if you do have a garage door don't seal it so you...
