I think they've moved over to Beau's thread on finding his Mojo again. Jacob and Cornish are about to start a fight - much better than watching the Arse!!

Yes it does. I've got modern braked machines , there's a big door and plenty of windows. That covers the Fire and Air issues :D :D

You don't need any qualifications to take on an apprentice. You don't have to do it as a formal apprenticeship. I took on a young lad from the village, he got registered for CIS and Self Employed and he's learning. Job done. He loves it, it keeps me young (listening to Gangsat Rap on the...

Richard Maguire for no nonsense approach. Our very own Graham Haydon, mainly 'cos I love slo mo shots of shavings and ultra-fast morticing!! :lol: Also like Sellers, Wood Whisperer and Rob Cosman for giggles.

I don't think you should feel guilty about wasting a skill or talent. There are loads of people who don't use their main skill for a variety of reasons. The questions you should be asking yourself are: What do you WANT to do? What will make you happy? What will fulfil you? I think that these...

Jedi - style comment Robin. Couldn't agree more.

The OED gives this definition (amongst others) Professional "Engaged in a specified activity as one’s main paid occupation rather than as an amateur." For example - Harold Shipman. I think we can all agree that there are many professionals who are utter ***** at what they do. It's still...

It's exactly that sort of comment that makes this Forum so...... ....bloody amusing!! =D> =D>

You're welcome. Have you turned it into anything yet or is it still just wood? :D

Ear wax?

It would work in the same way all the other forums work (that's the 'how') People start threads and others join in if they are interested or want to contribute to the discussion. (Thats the 'why') If no-one cares then it'll be a dry and barren place, bereft of banter and rows over why...

I like the idea of a Trade forum. I can't see why it should upset anyone. We separate out the forums for woodturning, scrolling etc. Why not a separate one for trade pro's? Is it perhaps a touchy subject because of the word 'Professional'? If hobbyists find that threatening then they need...

I was given this drill - Ajax RDM 170f a few years ago and have been happily using it although it's stuck on one speed (2080 or 2496 rpm). I can't change the belts to adjust the speed as the lever thingy on the side is just spinning rather than doing what it should (releasing the belt tension...

What is this 'money' you speak of? I bought my house for 200 goats and 1000 shekels of Broccoli. Don't owe no one nuffink. (If only)

Wurth do it. It's called Wud Slide

Dunno. My ignorance on the subject is vast. You're probably right.

How about a professional only sharpening forum? That should be fun.

As far as Larch goes I only really know about Siberian Larch, which may just be a name and is in fact just Larch. My workshop is clad in it and I used the leftovers to build some garden furniture for some friends about 4 years ago. Benches and tables - that sort of thing. I saw them just a few...

I use Gixen to snipe bid and never bother watching the auctions. It's less 'emotional' that way. Decide what you want to pay, let Gixen bid for you at the last minute and then if you win hoorah, if not hey ho.

The time the auction ends can have a big impact as well. Find something you want that ends at 15:00 or 16:00 on a Friday and you can get some stunning bargains.
