We visited your neck of the woods early last summer. Oradour-sur-Glane. What an incredible and moving place! You are about 6 hours north of us.. I have always had good service from Axy and been a customer for nearly 20 years now! When I started buying from them they had just the shop in the...

I ordered 4 forstner bits from Axminster on Sunday evening, dispatched Monday morning, arrived about 15 minutes ago!! Not bad as we are further south than Nice and Cannes me-thinks!! 8) 8) 8)

I have. I've had it for about 4 years now. It was from a tulip tree alongside the Canal du Midi that had to be felled 8) I asked one of the three fellers if I could have a lump and they almost filled the back of me car!!! A tulip tree flower and notice the 4 lobed leaves. :mrgreen...

They should do the job well Dave. I have a couple of cheepo metal ones that are going to be put to use soon. I have to make 2 curtain poles, about 2" dia. Possible to buy, but at 2.5 metres long there are almost 200 beer token each + postage out here !! 8) 8) A 3 metre X 50mm-ish plank is...

How do you find the helicopyers on there Bussy?? Do you hover the cursor on something :roll: :roll: Crikey Haggis!! You could have an inch thick teak/gold plated shed for one of those :shock: :shock:

The 'dovetails aren't like a straight jobbie. They are cut with a skew chisel The ring is about 1/4" thick and the dovetail is about 1/8" deep, so apart from the actual diameter it isn't a big problem. I was just worried that the chuck would hold it while I was finishing the face side of it...

Something that I have wanted to do for years is to make a stand fo my silver Waltham pocket watch. The other day I was asked if I could make one for a member on another forum, so I decided to do mine to see what it's like? English oak that was given to me in the shape of a TV cabinet!! I've made...

I wondered what I was being accused of there mate?? I looked it up and I think it's OK :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Thank you :P :P You too Mark!!

Well Keith, turnin and burnin brings back memories of jet engines as opposed to wood!! From my time on aircraft in the R.A.F. As far as the domestic situation? We have an open fire here and I won't burn it. Far too much resin to burn and it ain't recommended for log burner inserts here either...

A good friend gave us a porcelain leaf for our 5th wed anniversary at the end of Feb. That's what you get for 20 years of obeying SWMBO [:-))] I really liked the leaf and thought that one would look nice in wood. I sorted out a lump of leylandii and started. This is what was in there...

Peter, your wish is my command-ish :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Front and side as they say somewhere Well, side and back actually??? The idea of putting 2 rows on a shelf is OK, but don't forget that the distance between the inner faces of the front and rear uprights defines the angle that the...

Yer tis And the recessed back stay, well ya can't go anywhere without yer back stay recessed :mrgreen: I hope it helps?

Steal it!! That's stealing and all I did was to 'borrow' it from a sewing magazine several years back to make for SWMBO's cousin :P :P Be my guest Legless!! About the only thing to watch is to get the distance between the screw holes exactly the same for all levels and as I said, watch the...

Be my guest DT. One thing to watch id the clearance for the bobbins when opening the rack. I had to chamfer the front edge of one I made because it was about 1/8" too close!! :oops: :oops:

I have just finished one of these for a friend She likes sewing.. I forgot to say that the pins are ash turned to 5mm. Stronger than doing them in beech.

Slightly off topic, but did you know that it's illegal to call a pig Napoleon here in France. I can't think why :? :?

Duno about musik but if you want a good larf you could try an AZERTY jobbie http://images.google.fr/imgres?imgurl=h ... 0QrQMIPzAE If you can play on that you are a better man than eye Gunga-and-make-a-din :shock: :shock:

I forgot earlier, but vefore we moved over I used to do a lot of RC model glider flying and building. I have a small iron that's used to put the poly heat shrink covering on and it often gets the glue or poly stuck to it. Not too much of a problem, but when it gets too much I put it on as high...

Whack it up as high a temp as it will go and wipe it across a rough cloth such as some old sacking if it's a non stick jobbie. Failing that then give it a soak with some acetone, but do it in the open air or you ain't going to need a beer in the evening!! Paracetamol? Try it for the headache...

I like that one!! How's about this "Mummy. Where does poo come from?" "Well, food goes through our tummies, our bodies take out the good stuff and whatever is left comes out of our bottoms" "And what about Tigger Mummy??"
