Has anyone used one of these jigs and if so are they as good as they claim. At present if I need one sharpening I have to take it to a local hardware shop who send it away with a man in a van who then takes it to be sharpened. When it comes back and each has had his cut, for a couple of pounds...

I have an Asus laptop running windows 8. My account photo when starting up is one of my Grandson but is it possible to enlarge it to full screen size as at present it is only about 3 inch square ????? . Alan.

Been having a *** for the last 5 years after being dragged to the doctors by my wife as I had a very nasty bout of something or other and was told she would not be my nurse again unless I had it. Never had any reaction to it and thankfully never had a cold since. I also had a call from the...

Apparently the dog didn't belong to the lady who collected it but to her friends who were visiting her for a weeks holiday. They had gone to the beach (only about 300 yards from where they were staying) along with 3 other dogs. They were having a paddle while the dogs ran around in the sands...

When I went to pick up my paper a couple of days ago from our local Spar shop there was a notice in the window asking people to look out for a Japanese chin dog, Black and white lost on the beach at Black rock sands. Today when again I went for my paper there was a little black and white dog...

Hi Benchwayze. The paper Iv'e put on is anaglypta without any match. Much easier to fiddle about with in corners etc. My wife suggested we have anaglypta so that next time we (notice the WE) can just emulsion it. I said to her "god knows woman how many next times do you think there's going to...

A few years ago a friend of mine after being made redundant got a job as caretaker/handyman at a local school. He had to fit a new washer to a dripping tap on the wash hand basins. While trying to find where to isolate the water he found it was being fed from the cold water storage tank located...

Hope you are having cold water for the washbasin at mains pressure and not from the header tank. Wouldn't like to clean my teeth using header tank cold water :shock: :shock: Alan.

Thanks Folks, Now what can I make with it ? 5 1/4 x 2/14 about 5ft long :D :D Alan.

I was given a sample of this some months ago. Looks like normal PVA. Google says it is used for laminating paper board and general bookbinding so I thought it would be of no use on timber joints etc. I thought I try it out so I took two bits of 2x1 about 6" long applied the glue and clamped it...
