I think the free version is still available (and I'm using it and recommend it). Go to http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5 and scroll down!

Hi Phil Thanks for your kind thoughts Strangely enough, I won't be going to a woodwork show... we're off to the south of France for a week, thoroughly looking forward to it!

Hi All Just in case anyone is interested, we're closed next week for our summer shutdown (or at least the first one, we're doing it in stages this year) so you can all have a week off too from my ramblings! Normal service (as soon as we work out what that is) will be resumed in August.

Hi All Thanks for the comments above, I still get a kick out of it when people say they like our products! Alf, how long do you leave our wax before buffing? WoodWax 22 is pretty quick drying and is easier to buff if you do so pretty much straight away. The Black Bison wax is slower drying and...

I wouldn't like to have this thread hijacked, especially as it has turned into such good news, and no, not lately, I just happen to think speed cameras do nothing to improve driving standards which is the cause of many an accident. I'm happy to discuss further if anyone wants to start a new topic!

Well done and good luck!

I'd walk away from it too, depends how much you want the item but probably not worth the risk. I'd also tell the guy that as you can't agree over the payment that you agree not to leave any feedback. If you have something on your computer showing you've made a payment you could always send him...

I don't accept calls from withheld numbers either, which makes some legitimate callers a little irate. I usually ask them why they withhold their number to which they answer so that telesales companies can't get their number (don't really understand that, but that's the answer). I reply that I...

Hi Alan Try somewhere like a Brewers or other decorator's merchant's, they should sell a more traditional paint that can be thinned and sprayed. Speak to the people there, I'm sure they'll be able to help you out.

The difference being, you have gone to the yahoo site and it has asked you for your details - usually just to sign in again, which they do to make sure the right person is accessing the site, not just the next computer user. Suspicion should only be aroused if you get an email asking you for...

It's probably as well to be suspicious of any unsolicited email but to stop before paranoia sets in! Being asked to 're-register' - that is, to supply all of your log-in details for an existing membership to a site or service- is always a no-no, but being asked to join a different site...

Thanks Richard, that was what I was hoping to hear!

Hi Folks Good thoughts so far, keep'em coming! We're looking at quite a long lead time here, several months, but we'll let you know when the time is right! In the fridge, Alf? Do they know something about shellac that I don't? I'm under the impression that unmixed it lasts ages. Thanks for...

Hi all again One of our suppliers has just started supplying to us in tins with pull up spouts - hopefully many of you will know the type of thing I mean - often used with oil cans etc. We use something similar on our five litre tins; the lid isn't supposed to come off, access to the product...

Hi All We're thinking of extending our range with, among other things, shellac in flake form, popular with so many people here (and for good reason!). So a couple of questions to ask, to try to make sure we get the basics right: Firstly, which shellacs? Dewaxed Blond, Dewaxed Lemon etc...

Hi Alan All of our Sanding Sealers are toy/child safe. For the use you have in mind I'd suggest either the Cellulose or Acrylic (aerosol or brushing) versions. The Cellulose is more common and quicker drying, the acrylic is slower but virtually odourless in use. For the top rail you have...

Hi Matt You should be able to spray most stains; our Spirit Stain will definitely spray very happily, depending on how much you put on you shouldn't have any excess to rag off. If you want to brush, be mindful of how quickly the stains dry; ours dry very quickly which can catch you out if...

Hmmm... this is turning into a rant about carriers... can't believe it really, they have a very difficult job and are faced daily with parcels that physically disappear from the face of the earth and it is very rare that things go wrong... Don't get me started about carriers... :evil:

A good thought Tim... Something else people should consider in these days of geneology - Family Trees to the likes of me - is that a popular security question is to ask your Mother's maiden name... this information can be far too freely available. I use a fictitous name when asked this...

Hi Waka As I understand it... The modem on your computer is probably just for use with a phone like (usually a 56k one); you can still attach this to your phone line to send faxes. For broadband you will need a different modem, which connects the incoming cable to your computer and makes...
