Thanks Roger Does the top part tilt and lock? Mark

Hi I have bought a bench grinder but it's got no tool rests. Anyone got any good designs for home made rests. I'm thinking this sort of thing, but home made http://www.axminster.co.uk/veritas-veri ... prod22615/ I seem to remember seeing one on here years ago but can't find it now. Please...

Cheers Aiden, I wasn't aware of that, I thought it would chip whatever way I chiseled. I have an offcut I will have a practice on. Mark

We seem to be having two completely separate conversations here. With regard to my t track, one end will be open to slide the bolts in. Any other ideas on cutting the laminate neatly square? Mark

Thanks for the answers. I am more than happy to have a go, but better to ask first than after the first **** up. So if I take the other route, what is the best way to square the channel. It is mdf with about 1mm of laminate bonded to the top. The router cuts it fine, but I am wary how to...

Hi Whats the best way to cut this and clean up the cut afterwards? (Have most things but not a bandsaw at the moment) I intend to route a stopped channel in a board with a laminate top and fix it into that giving a flush top. The router is going to produce a rounded end to the stopped...

Um, think Kendals have their figures wrong cause 1500 w isn't 3 hp, just to make it more confusing Mark

Is that dust extractor definitely 3hp Chems? What does the motor plate say as I've seen the same extractor advertised as 2 hp? Could be interested in one if it is. Mark

The ply in my walls and floor are both 18mm. Don't think you need any thicker for the floor if the joists are like mine, but wouldn't go less. 12mm would be fine for the walls. When screwing stuff to the walls later just make sure your screws have plenty of thread up to the head so you get a...

It's easier to use ballast rather than mix your own sand and gravel. Mix is usually 6 to 1 or 5 to 1. You might want to consider reinforcing it to stop it cracking.. Needs to go on solid compacted ground, preferably over hardcore. A bulk bag of ballast is about 0.6 cubic metres, the cement...

I'd say second hand. I got one, ex school, with two massive record quick release vices for £30. Very solid even if somewhat battered. Mark

Don't think I was ever asked. Bit of an estimate now but I reason about £600. Remember I used lots of second hand material, seconds, rejects and recycled stuff. Mark

This is what I did, and am very happy with the result shed-build-wip-t37824.html Mark

This is my build. 10x6 I think. Would use exactly the same construction for 10x8 again if it was me. shed-build-wip-t37824.html Hope it helps Mark

These people http://www.bambootravel.co.uk/ They are a tiny company, we have used them twice, previously for china, expensive but very good. We booked a year in advance and still took a while to secure the hotels we wanted, mainly because the good ones that are not state owned get booked up...

Also, we went trekking for a couple of days out of kalow, sleeping on a monastery floor overnight. Inle is a good place to relax afterwards. Even if you don't like temples don't miss Bagan or shwedagon in yangon

Roger I went in November on a tailor made itinery for me and the wife. They can be expensive but you only go where you want to. Most other tourist are on group tours. I only met one person who had made no advance arrangements, you will need more time there to do it this way. In fact I only...

Last week I had a slate come off the roof of the house and straight through the back window of my wife's car. The house is Victorian and the nails have rusted through. I've had quite a few slip over the lastvfew years and a lift and renail (and under felt which I currently don't have) is on...

Not sure it's working correctly. I put in the code for the TH410 thicknesser. Says 2011 price is £853.96 Says 2012 price is £849.50 Then tells me I'll save £4.46 if I buy it now :shock: :shock: :shock: Mark
