    tv recording

    To confirm and hopefully add to what has been written above.. Your video records completely independantly of your TV; it cannot record what is on the screen. Instead, it uses its own tuner to receive a signal and it is that that it records. This tuner is analogue so when digital is the only...

    Matt finish for new oak staircase

    Another option would be our Acrylic Satin Lacquer. I know it has the word 'satin' in the name but it is a low sheen finish and could be what you want. If you're looking for an even lower sheen our Lemon Oil is also worth a try. Let me know if you would like any other information.

    Decanting finishing oil

    It will do this in the can as well, it just takes longer. It is caused by exposure to air, even in an air tight can the oil will react with the air already in the can and 'set', hence the suggestion to use marbles/stones etc to fill the air gap; the less air, the slower the reaction. As far as I...

    Decanting finishing oil

    Thank you! Chas's advice is very good, if you're worried about contamination you could strain the decanted oil before returning it to the tin, and the tip about using something (even small, clean stones) to fill the air gap in the can is a great idea.

    Have a History Teacher explain this - if they can.

    Sorry Brian, didn't mean to rain on your parade, only to set the record straight.

    I don't know if a history teacher would be able to do anything, but Snopes have a pretty good go... http://www.snopes.com/history/american/ ... ennedy.asp

    bank telephone call SCAM

    Why bother asking the question if you don't believe the answer? Virgin won't intercept these calls because they're not illegal and I'd agree that simply pressing the requested key on your phone cannot leave you with unexpected charges. However of course you can choose to believe uninformed...

    Best laid plans of PCs and MACs

    Which I agree is funny, don't you just love'em, but to be fair it's closer than the word you meant which would have been 'warehouse'!

    The North of England Woodworking Show - 23 to 25 Nov.

    With both this show and the Knitting and Stitching one on at the same time finding good priced accomodation could well be difficult, you might need to look a bit further afield If you need it I'd suggest you don't leave it too much longer!

    Doing my public citizen bit

    I don't think Roger is saying he is 'has no stain' and like all of us has probably made mistakes when driving. What Roger is acting against is an act of apparent sheer stupidity showing no regard for the law and thinking nothing of endangering other people's lives. There is a difference between...

    The North of England Woodworking Show - 23 to 25 Nov.

    This show seems to go from strength to strength and certainly bodes well for Stoneleigh next year. We'll have a stand there and the open invitation to meet around it stands, we normally suggest midday to fit in with most people. I won't be there and will leave it to you lot to sort out...

    Chess Pieces

    I agree with Andrew, in fact any of our lacquers would be suitable for this, depending on what sort of finish you want. The aerosol versions lend themselves to items like this very well. The Ebonising Lacquer could also be useful for the black pieces if you need to colour them.

    Laser eye-surgery instead of glasses. Any good?

    Hi All Mandy had this done about 18 months ago; she'd been wearing contact lenses for years but found them inconvenient when she wanted to go swimming and also for other activities such as horse riding etc, so she decided to take the plunge and have them done. To be honest although there was a...

    casual labour insurance

    Hi Roger Firstly I'd check with your household insurers. If that doesn't solve it for you then I think this would all come down to whether or not, legally speaking, you are 'employing' him. There is a definition of this available which you might be able to find here...

    Chestnut Products on TV?

    Hi Just had a frantic call from our Sales Manager - 'Are you watching ITV?' Apparently there was someone on there on a programme called 'Country Ways' using Chestnut Products, which is (rather sadly!) quite exciting. It would seem this is a local variant of ITV which I can't get and (even...
