I can't see any advantage in combining the two methods of bending, but laminating the desired shape would work well. It would be better to make up the thickness with at least 6 layers of thinner laminate and preferably more. The thinner and more numerous the laminates the better. Cascamite is...

I first saw these at a trade show about 1965 I was entertained by the sight of several salesmen demonstrating it , all of them wearing a bandage on at least one finger!

I think that that's an arcoy dovetail jig for use with an electric drill rather than a router. A very poor tool, what's it worth? Just throw it in the bin!

I would agree that changes like limited projection tooling were a good move on safety grounds, however the profit motive is evident when I see machines that always have stopped in less than ten seconds are now fitted with DC braking following "advice"

Like many things from the EU it's nonsense. There is no right of access for anyone to check that you own machinery in your private home.

As a tradesman I have been able to call on the services of plumber, bricklayer, plasterer etc, on the basis that only materials are payed for and a similar number of hours have been worked in return. We all saved a lot of money and I have no idea who is ahead in terms of hours worked...

I have an extractor in a separate room. The NVR switch has been bypassed and the power is supplied direct from the workshop through a cord operated switch of the type used in bathrooms to operate heaters. The switch is mounted horizontally and the cord has been extended through the length of...

I have a few of the axcaliber ones and have found them to be very good. I prefer to buy the sizes I need rather than a set.

The boards in theDerby area had an additional feature, a small semicircular area at the top on top of the top line. This was the most difficult scoring area and was known as "Annie's Room"

Very few of these windows were built in using the horns at head and cill, all the ones I have seen are held with folding wedges inserted at the ends of the head and cill. The window will be damaged if you wedge against the sides of the boxes. The true traditional way of sealing the outer face...

Success! here is one shot of the method of fixing the netting. Its very easy to get the tension right.

Hi This is the water mill post showing the pond net, I will see if I can post a better photo but my main computer is sick At the moment . Mike.

I thought it would! It's definitely on my profile as the most visited item. There are also two videos on YouTube but I'm not sure the net shows up on those.

If you look under "garden water mill" there is a photo of the net in use. Mike.

I have made a similar frame to cover my pond, mine is made of Iroko with mortise and tenon joints glued with epoxy glue. The oily nature the wood makes normal glues ineffective. The netting is the black stuff sold at garden centres to cover fruit trees. The timber section is 22 mm X 60mm and the...

Perhaps my goldfish are peeing battery acid! I think I will treat it as PVA and use only inside , if at all. It's interesting that we have had very differing results.

Funny you should mention that one!
