The devil, as always, will be in the detail. There is a level of tactical voting even under the current system. I can't help feel that there will be even more scope for manipulating the vote under an AV system. There hasn't been nearly enough debate on the subject so far - either in the...

I wouldn't disagree with any of that Rob. What I really meant was that from a handling perspective the Spitfire was an absolute joy. It may well have been that an Me109 in all it's variants in the hands of a highly experienced pilot, with many hundreds of hours "on type", would be at least a...

The real genius of the Spitfire was that it was so easy to fly. Guys could do 20 hours on Tiger Moths and then go straight on to the Spitfire and it wouldn't turn around and bite them . Pilots would say that you only had to think "turn" and it would go around as though on rails. I believe the...

Bummer! I use Google Picasa on the basis that Google isn't going bust any time soon.

Wow! What a fabulous experience, and what aviation junkie wouldn't drool over the chance to do that. I'm not jealous at all. :mrgreen: :---)

That's nothing. My neighbour went to the earls Court boat show to buy one of these and came back having ordered one of these. :-"

Hmmm! It'll be a bit iffy, after the car load of European Oak, American Cherry and Birdseye Maple I drove away with. The locusts were out in force. It was a great day out, but joking aside, there were a number of stands doing great trade and by the end of the day they were sold out and won't...

I'm going today - Friday. I'll try and leave something for you guys on Saturday!

That's lovely Martin. Good to see the Incra dovetail templates being used to good effect as well! I particularly like the Yew - something I've never worked with.

A 3 door hardware and rail pack for the Centor F3 system comes in at £628 inc VAT. If I laminate my own timber, allow £100 per door, plus toughened Pilkington Planitherm argon filled units at £108 per unit, and we're looking at about £1250 for a 3 door set - maybe £1300 by the time I've added...

Thanks for the pointers guys. Whilst I still haven't got the quote from Centor, I'm guessing that a full 3 door hardware set will be nearer £800 - I'll let you know. Kappers - at £1,400 per door that is why I'm looking at doing it myself. Bet they're nice though! Jason - The Kloeber...

We're planning a kitchen/breakfastroom extension for later in the year so went along to the Home Building and Renovation Show at the NEC last weekend. Big mistake to take "the boss"! She's set her dear little heart on bifold doors with a matching patio area outside. I must admit it has it's...

That's looking fabulous Rob. Seems such a shame to conceal that book matched bottom though. What's the finish going to be?

Brilliant - and so simple I'd never have thought of it. This is a great thread. Please keep the posts coming Steve.

How about Dentil Moulding under some half round edging. Easy to make on a router table with a simple home made jig.

John - My guess is that it is a cast bevel edged mirror. However, that makes me wonder how they do custom sized mirrors which are only marginally more expensive. For instance, this one in Pilkington Glass at 48" x 24" was from stock, and was £56. However, if I had one custom sized at 49" x...

Thanks for the kind comments guys. This was one of those simple ideas I got from the fine woodworking website. It's simply a piece of laminate flooring screwed to an off cut of 150 x 50 joist. The slot in the top was cut of the router table to be precisely the width of the guide bush on my...

Let's drink a toast to plan A. At this stage you probably think that it'll give you endless time to spend in the workshop and you'll have time to do everything you want to do. Let me assure you that's not the way it works. I've never been busier and am still having to choose between various...

Particularly if they simultaneously release that never to be made film - James Hewitt and the Half Blood prince :)

Yep. I bet that given an inch, you would take .... etc :) It's like reaching the Promised Land isn't it!
