All, Anyone know of a company supplying a paint spraying service near to the Essex / Herts border ? We are decorating and have a number of radiator covers made from MDF that would prefer to be spray painted rather than by hand. Would do this myself, however, lack of suitable space, equipment...

My advice would be to find a book on furniture upholstery - the process is the same as for upholstering a sofa or bench seating. My mother was an upholsterer and i watched her do a few chairs, sofa's etc over the years, unfortunately shes long since retired, and with Alziheimers, otherwise I'd...

My 2 cents...(and I work in IT - gulp, !!!) - Router - NEVER trust the router from the ISP, always go with your own, either Netgear or Linksys will do the job will - PC - go with a badged box from someone well known, the Dell sounds good, however, put as much RAM in it as you can !, and if...

Yep, definately going, it's about 15min drive for me !!! :D

as a newbie and someone still learning, the question I have is this; If the product is as good as advertised, and I am not commenting as to whether it is or not, then why do we not see it at the woodworking shows ? I was at Ally Pally and I will be going to the european woodworking show, and I...

The one at Lowestoft is the restored Vulcan. The one I saw was the last RAF vulcan to fly, it did the show at North Weald, returned to its base and I beleive it, the squandron and the base were all retired the next day. I'm really glad that someone has stuck with the Vulcan restoration, and...

I've got the dewalw and as a civilian, i.e. not someone who makes a living through woodworking, I find it great.. :D - apart from the lapse where I managed to redesign the end of my index finger with it,,,, sets up easy, simple to clean and easy to maintain.

The issue isnt the shredded paper,,,its the paper mill's not being setup to process the paper...... and it goes into cardboard because that is cheaper to make than paper that would require lots of bleaching, adding optical brighteners, etc etc. The fundamental problem with recycling and...

That'll be because when you shred it, you've cut the fibres and made it unsuitable for recycling as paper if it gets mixed with the ordinary paper the whole lot is unrecyclable. Alan - thats not strickly true, as the entire pulping process for taking recycled papaer and making fresh involves...
