Which seems a little strange to me. Do we expect UK companies to pay UK taxes on sites in foreign countries? Anyone heard any fuss about Jensen Button, Lewis Hamilton or other mega sports stars residing in Monaco or other similar Tax Havens? Politicians and councils holding money in Icelandic...

Its not often that I am amazed, being a bit of a cynical bloke by nature. Take a look at this video clip, and ask yourself whether anything we see on TV or particularly in film can be considered 'real' anymore? http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2010/stargate-showcase-reel-p1.php For sure we...

Definitely take a good look at the insert - they are rarely flush all round and can cause real issues when trying to compound cut (DAMHIKT!) A new insert made from ply and sanded to the correct thickness is one way to solve this. The other option to test if the table truly is bowed (and if it...

Sorry Rob, but most things on 'done for TV' programmes I tend to be extremely sceptical about. Very easy to blow cold air from offscreen across the thermometer, or record a segment but show it as live and so on. Very rarely are these programmes of scientific integrity under repeatable or...

Cold reading is actually quite a skill if done properly - its how Derren Brown makes a living for a start and some of the stuff he does is on the face of it quite amazing. Steve

I am in the no camp! SWMBO claims our house has ghosts but I have never felt/seen/experienced anything at all. Objectively, I am still in the no camp - believeing an awful lot of what is shown as 'evidence' can equally be explained by other phenomena such as the brains ability to see patterns...

Because I have no idea about blacksmithing or how hard it is. Without having the standard of a professional to compare to I have no idea how good the apprentices work is. I can only compare the relative pieces by the three apprentices to each other. They could have been almost there or could...

Yup, I watched and enjoyed the show. Have to say though, I wouldn't want any of the gates on the front of my house, especially the winners 'fantasy' type thing. I would have liked to see an example of the tutors skill as well - we only really got to see the three apprentices. Without a...

Very nice - another idea I must get round to at some point! I have my blades in the packets from Mike still, havent even got as far as tubes yet :roll: Steve

Yup, damp proof membrane is the way to go here, available from all DIY sheds and builders merchants. Guaranteed waterproof. Just make sure you batten round every edge and ideally down the middle as well (with the obvious caveat that screwing battens down will hole the DPM, so be careful where...

Welcome to the forum Traston. As this is a UK site and all of our posts are in English, could you please do likewise and use English for the benefit of the majority of our readers? If you and Alberto want to switch to PMs then of course these can be in Spanish if you are more comfortable in that...

I find it only resets when you close the browser window. So if I go to here, read posts then surf to other sites and then come back later, it still goes to the original 'unread' post. Not usually a problem, but if I am at work I can have a browser window open for hours then come back and it...

Way too much for what looks like a Kity 419 on a closed in stand. Go for the SIP if you don't need a sliding table or the Axminster if you do. Simples. Nobody seems to be marketing the DEFT T30 and T70 level saws, all opting for these cheaper variants and comparable prices. Tis a shame, if the...

Many thanks Mick, thats my lunchtime reading material sorted ;) Steve

There is a photo posting tutorial as a sticky in the off topic section if it helps! Steve

I see, having just done a very quick google I would be interested to see the results from this. I have always imagined enamelling as a bit like putting powder in a former and heating until it goes liquid. Is that correct? If so, could you cut areas from a copper sheet with the scrollsaw, attach...

Fantastic - excellent work behind the scenes Tom! Personally I would love to have a go with a proper dovetail saw - I have only ever used cheap ones which I have never got on with. If there are Japanese varieties as mentioned above then that kills two birds with one stone :D Looking forward...

Yup, wish it was on for a bit longer or they went into a bit more depth sometimes. Has a Canadian flavour with some of the items, but generally very watchable. Steve

Nope - like most 'extended warranties' on electrical products, never bother. Steve

Busy indeed! Scrollers usually take a photo of the back of the puzzle as well to show the lines of the pieces a bit better. Slow down a bit - you are putting ome of us to shame! Steve
