Looking for a new van and wondered if anyone has a Toyota hiace 2007-2012 model and if there any good? Had a vivaro which has cost loads in breakdowns and repairs, so looking for the most reliable van out there and wondered if anyone has any experience with the Toyota.

There are so many religious people who are grumpy and judge others, it is a real embarrassment. A real christian should be the first to help, give and have compassion for others. Christians believe that all people are made in the image of God and are of huge value and worth and we should...

That's just personal preference and everybody's is different so doesn't work. What I really meant was an objective moral standard

I'm a christian, I think that what has happened in Paris and around the world is unbelievably sad. I can't speak for Muslims but I will always try to defend what I believe. With regards to Christianity this country was founded on biblical principles and prospered under them. We have seen a...

Really great work work. Paintwork looks really good. Do you spray your units before fitting or hand paint after fitting?

I have the same bandsaw bought new in 2006. We had the exact same problem but was advised (as others have said) that the blades were tensioned too tight. We had tensioned blades using the scale on the saw but it wasn't calibrated correctly. We now tighten the blades to the correct tension and it...

Hi hexusody, bury, your 15 mins away. Drop in if your ever bored or close by. Cheers

Hi timbly Accoya is a very fast grown softwood but seems to harden during treatment so is very similar density to tulip. It paints well but does have very small pores so a high build primer is needed then it's fine. It doesn't machine as nicely, you need sharp blades as it tears out a bit more...

For years we've used tulip but with declining quality and rising prices we switched to accoya. We don't get any movement issues so the gaps stay even and doors don't warp due to Aga's or underfloor heating. The corner unit is just soft close drawers, no idea how much weight the door racks will...

Hi all Haven't shown anything for a while so thought I'd post a few pictures I took today of our latest kitchen. Made with ash veneered carcasses, solid ash drawers and accoya frames and doors. Hope you like it. Cheers

don't buy a Vauxhall!! I bought a nearly new vivaro a few years ago. They look good, drive well and don't rust but the quality is rubbish and it's always breaking down. In the last few years it's had 4 new injectors (£2000) reconditioned gearbox (£1500) clutch has gone 3 times (£300 each) and...

Great project, looking forward to taking our kids some day. Something to counteract the fairytale of Darwinian evolution and the lack of "intellectual rigour" that goes with it!

Excellent, thanks so much for this, I have a large order to place and you've just saved me quite a chunk of cash. Cheers

I wonder how many woodworkers who take the high road when it comes to there tools, would then turn down a job when a customer walks in their workshop with a set of plain english kitchen plans which have taken them time and money and says ' they've quoted me 65k, if you'll do it for 50k I'll...

So I called the original owner of the shop, she said she'd be happy to write a short statement. I then called the new owner who buckled surprisingly quickly when I talked about him providing proof of purchase or I'd take serious action (although I wouldn't). Have now arranged to collect in 2...

Thanks so much to all that have offered advice, some have clearly spent a lot of time replying and I really appreciate it. It's not an issue that I'm too bothered and certainly won't loose sleep over it but mainly wanted to know if it was legal to just turn up with some mates and take it back...

Thanks for this advice, I'll call the previous owner for a statement, show it to him and give him a date I will collect.

Funnily enough I still have the number of the previous owner who would make a statement, I also have pictures of the dresser in the workshop but no makers mark. It's also listed as part of my stock in the accounts( I bet it's not listed in his accounts!) Really don't want the hassle, really...

Hi all, I'm unsure where I stand on this so wondered if anybody had any ideas. I few years ago I got talking to a local posh houseware shop owner who liked the kitchen furniture we made. I didn't have much work at the time and offered to build a kitchen dresser that she could display here...

Hi all I've been asked to price some windows which are unusual in that the frame protrudes past the casements on the outside by about 40mm. These seem popular when made in stone but not so much in timber. does anybody know what this style of window is called? will help a lot with google...
