    Pressure cooker

    re Highway code (UK) allowing drivers out from side roads

    Okay just to clarify What I am talking about is slowing "slightly" to allow time for a vehicle to enter the flow of traffic and without braking hard or causing a problem to others, certainly not braking hard or slowing considerably I didn't mention flashing lights but that should only ever...

    Blades

    For scrollsaw work (fretwork) reverse skip makes a difference as you don't want tear out but on intarsia it shouldn't make so much difference as you are not seeing the reverse side I tend to use reverse skip most of the time, 3's & 5's mainly As to blade slip, I always sand across both ends...
