I've used the Alde comfort boiler in several narrow boats and found them to be very good. The current price for the pump at Midland Chandlers branches is £132.00. Expensive but better than £200 !

I also purchased an electric stapler/tacker, it was rubbish and went back after one trial use. A compressor is a must.

I don't think that you will have any problem with the steel and oak in close proximity since there will be no rainwater in the area to cause a reaction. I made a pair of book ends long ago using the system you are considering, the metal was in the form of a tongue about 25mm wide which was let...

I have some of the axcaliber ones that are very good

Scroll saw?

Hi I think you will find what you need in the post that I have rather clumsily just reproduced above. Mike.

I don't buy timber from this company but I have used their on line calculator to price some. The prices given were jaw dropping!

I have built a number of boats and owned five.I have never lived aboard but have plenty of friends and aquaintances who have. Don't even consider selling a house and moving on board a narrow boat! Lots of idiots think that you can live where you like on the canal system free of charge. Just...

I used to buy teak skantling from a timber merchant to make beading and edgings. It was small section material left when larger sections had been ripped to size, idea for my use and quite a bit cheaper than the huge price charged for teak in larger cross sections. I'm not sure that the...

I found the after sales service to be spot on.

I have a BS 500 which had two replacement switches. After fitting the second one Ifound that there was a small hole in the top of the switch which allowed it to fill up with dust and stop it working. Tapping the switch gently while holding it upside down soon made a pile of saw dust. I taped...

Is the new coving the same as the old? If it is you just need to cut a 45 degree end as you would to mitre the corner and then take off the sharp bit at the end to make the scribe. I'll bet that's as clear as mud! Just cut a mitre and hold it up, it will be obvious, This could be an ideal job...

To be a bit more constructive I think you have to wind the cable round the drum the opposite way. That's the way mine works anyway. Mike.

No that would be like turning a bolt round to make a left hand thread. It's still the same each way round but I admit it tends to bend the mind a little. Mike.

I have a home built version which weighs a lot but has made a good job of the tapered barley twists I've made. I suggest that you set up to cut an anti clockwise twist first, the results are better in my experience than the clockwise twist. The anti clock twist means that the router is cutting...

It's the extreme end of the security services! 007 is equipped with a Walther or Berretta 009 is a user of cheaper but effective tools.

I have never found a hydraulic closer without an adjustable damper to close nice and slowly for the last few inches. Briton is normally a sound make.

Hi Jacob As one who used to write the list of requirements for this type of job, I can tell you that the words "effectively self closing" we're normally used, and intended to mean nothing short of a proper hydraulic closer. As you say the perco type springs and even gate springs have been...

You must keep in mind that a bespoke item will have very little value to anyone but the person ordering it, so you can't afford to have the customers changing their minds. Drawings and photos of previous projects solve the problems of the customer who has something in his minds eye that isn't in...
