Oh sorry, I didn't realise it was glued. That won't work then.

how thick is the timber? I would suggest planing down the cross pieces by 3.5mm so that the verticals stand proud. you could dowel the point where they cross to make it look like it is pegged.

how long does the etching process take? is it restricted to steel, or would it work on other metals too?

I hope your username is ironic then!

I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole, we both sliced our ball into a pasture of cows. We went to look for them, and while I was looking around I noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end. I walked over and lifted up the tail, and sure...

What is your aim? If you want a project, go for it. If you want a cheap bandsaw then I would look at the used market, particularly if you factor in your time.

speeding is speeding. 1mph over is speeding and is against the law. the charging guidelines do allow some discretion, and these vary by area. my local ones are here Questions | West Yorkshire Police . this seems to be 10% + 2mph in West Yorkshire. whatever the speedo says is largely...

It's a shame when you want to live the local guys some business but they don't help themselves.

I find that my local builders merchant offers good prices, compared with the nationals or the DIY places. free delivery too.

haycock will [almost certainly] do a converter and it is probably not too difficult to fit, but I would expect it to cost a lot. I enquired about one for my jet, consisted of a motor and controller and was £600-700 from memory. I didn't pursue because it wasnt worth it to me. it may be as cheap...

there was a thread a few weeks ago about this happening on either a felder or hammer machine on sheet material. The consensus (from people that do hundreds or more of cuts per day) was that it is one of those things, branded sheet goods helped and it was accepted practice to make a cut nearly...

Mine is ash. Good timber and nice to work, my only personal hesitance is knowing how best to finish it. Likely n/a to a workbench.

alumilite turns nicely as pen blanks. I cant tell you much more than that though. what are you wanting to cast, a large blank and turn it, or something vaguely bowl shaped and then turn that?

how big and deep are the cracks that you want to fill?

mine still sees regular use, John.

I do agree with that in many instances there is enough signage to be legal (just) but it is clearly a money making exercise and the signage is deliberately poor. if the aim is to prevent parking, a big sign saying no parking seems obvious to me. How can a person comply with an instruction that...

how else can a private landowner prevent people from using their land as a car park, and enforce signs that parking is not allowed? It would be chaos in every town centre. I admit that it is annoying to get a ticket, but they all start from either breaking a rule or somebody's interpretation...

what about a radial arm saw? I wouldn't use it for ripping ply but if that is only occasional there are ways around that.

Thanks all. I can't see much being done on this anytime soon. The tree has been trimmed back quite substantially so I will firstly see what affect the increased light and airflow has. I hate ladders. I can put up with them a time or two a year to keep the gutters clear and I might get some...

It's a nilfisk domestic one. Competent on a bit of paving and washing the car but I doubt it is classed as overly powerful.
