Shortly after moving to Wales from the Midlands I needed a 6" circular saw blade sharpening. I had to take it to a shop in the town who then gave it to a man with a van who called every two weeks who then took it to Anglesey to be sharpened. By the time it came back and the sharpener had taken...

I have a Ford Cmax. Difficulty finding decent timber where I live so when I visit my daughter in Cannock Staffordshire I go to the timber yard that I used to use when living there. I can get in 12 x 2.4 mtr lengths of 6x1 in comfortably. However my wife has to sit in the back a little...

At my previous house it was used on 30 ft of 5ft fencing panels and now I used it to support my trellis. I've just used it again to support a B&B sign for a friend of mine. I always paint the steel with a coat of black hammrite although I don't think it would rust through in my lifetime.I have...

This is the method I have used for years. Went to my local steel provider and got 2ft lengths of 2"x 1/4 strip. These are then bolted on to the posts using 10mm screwed rod. I then dig the hole and top it with a square frame. A piece of wood is then set across the frame for the post to stand...

thanks to you all for your quick replies. I have googled Codicil and now am better informed Alan

When my two daughters were 3&5 years old my wife and I made our wills and naming two friends as executors. Now that my daughters are in their early 40s I wish to name them as executors. Do I need to go to a solicitor to make out new wills or could I alter the existing wills and get someone to...

I didn't know my wife had told anyone about my accident :oops: :oops: Alan

Hi baldhead, I cut the mitres oversize on the table saw and then used a guillotine to get the finished size. I have in the past used a miter chop saw but found it very difficult to get them exact. Alan.

My Daughter wanted a small table to fit in a certain place. The top to be 22"x11" and 18" high. The top to be fitted with tiles. We went to Wickes to choose the tiles and as soon as she saw Claret and Blue tiles and being a Villa fan it was no need to look further. I'm not to sure of the...
