    Garden Shelving - Joinery?

    All the sheds sell this design as well - typically flat packed with the shelves being screwed through the uprights. I have had them several times, cheap pine but handy for places they will not be in display like in the shed. I also have a plastic set from B and Q, tad more expensive but will not...

    Started an Astro-Physics course - any mathematicians here?

    Plenty of encouraging replies already - you will have no trouble :wink: Most of the OU stuff you describe comes under the nominal heading of 'pure maths' rather than statistics (at least it was called pure maths when I did it, not sure about now). Good on you for giving it a go - I am sure I...

    Started an Astro-Physics course - any mathematicians here?

    Not a maths genius by any means but most maths queries asked on here tend to get answered eventually either through knowledge of members or google :wink: Give us an idea of what the maths modules might involve and perhaps we can help. I am a scientist and use stats quite alot, but in specific...

    A magic trick

    Penn and Teller did a 'Magic round the world' Programme and covered the Gullie-Gullie Men, looked at their style of slight of hand and showed them some of theirs. The Gullie-Gullie couldn't get the idea of the magic interlocking rings trick at all, just couldn't fathom it. P and T were most...

    Gate posts cracking - advice sought

    Erm, its an 8" x 8" oak post. Its will outlast you before it rots all the way through unless it is sitting in a continually damp location. The cracks are timber movement, probably because of uneven timber removal from all sides of the post and most likely due to relieved stresses in the timber...

    Worse than cold callers on the phone !!!!!

    Dunno, but took a quick look and it seems to be advertising at its best. If you click through a couple of screens it lets you 'search' his database for plans and tells you how many hits there are for your choice of project. OK, so snooker table provides 14 hits, I can possibly believe that. But...

    Lamello Invis Mx - Crazy new invisible fixing product

    Clever solution to a problem that didn't really exist. How soon before you lose the magnetic box just before you want to open or close a joint? And how often do you want to open a joint again - the examples used in the video were a stair handrail, a bookcase and a table leg. Not sure I would...

    Bye bye

    Round and round and round we go..... Asking for no comments is all well and good, but someone will leave them. Then someone will respond. Then it snowballs and so on. Do we really believe that there would have been no comments at all?! If a thread is locked people moan, if its left other people...

    Yet another Rutlands rant

    Thanks OPJ but I think the MD can wait - I am happy with the no cost wait and see in May solution. Jim - but if you are having a 10% sale, and have done in the past, you must know how many of what items you are likely to shift. Most people wait for a sale for big purchases because a...

    I feel disenfranchised!

    Radio 4 broadcast it live, BBC2 newsnight have a half hour special, its all over the BBC news website and sky news carried it as well. ITV news did a slot, as will all the newspaper websites and political sites as well. Not to mention the parties own websites. You cannot move for the sound and...

    Yet another Rutlands rant

    OK, just had a phone call from Rutlands to say they are refunding my card the £620, will place an order at the discounted price for May and will charge the card once SIP confirm the saw is back in stock. Seems fair to me so happy with that - it hasn't cost me anything and I still have the right...

    Yet another Rutlands rant

    Aaargh! I know, I know - done to death and we all know it anyway, but sheesh its annoying. Ordered my SIP 01332 in the Rutlands sale, sold the kity to pay for it and now have a big space in the workshop waiting for the new saw. Got an order confirmation from Rutlands, e-mailed to confirm a...

    Advice on plasterboarding a ceiling please

    Woodguy - what does ames tapped mean? Not being facetious, I have a cellar I am boarding out with plasterboard and will not be getting plastered. I was planning to use tapered edge board and just fill the taper then either lining paper and paint or just paint depending on how the joints look. If...

    SIP saw wheel kit fitting problems.

    Sigh - weights vary from 150kg up to 250kg depending on which website you read. Thats also total weight - I want to know the weight of the heaviest single component as shipped to determine how many mates to pressgang into helping me shift it. Quite happy to break it down if it comes 'complete'...

    Attaching a sign to a crumbly wall?

    Resin and studding - get some two part resin and inject into the hole with a cartridge gun, push in threaded studding and leave to set. If you do not want to go with nuts and studs I guess you could screw into the resin just as it hardens but you will never get the screw out again and would need...

    SIP saw wheel kit fitting problems.

    Lons - how heavy is the SIP in reality? Can it be broken down into manageable pieces for transport into the workshop easily or is it a three burly blokes kind of job to move it? Steve
