Oh how everyone loves to jump on the latest hype over the iPad - FWW are asking if you will use it to search for woodworking related content?! Given that it will not play flash video's, the most interesting part of the FWW site will not be available anyway :roll: Anyone thinking of being an...

In either language I would call that a dogs breakfast :roll: If you are feeling brave the first step would to be to tease apart the wires and see if you can work out what flows where, and where it flows from ie which is the feed. If there are multiple feeds (current in) then you are in trouble...

Let google be your friend: ster⋅co⋅ra⋅ceous  /ˌstɜrkəˈreɪʃəs/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [stur-kuh-rey-shuhs] –adjective Physiology. consisting of, resembling, or pertaining to dung or feces. Steve

Yup, have been using only a fraction of Faststone for a long time now - very useful for editing and sizing images for the forum! Steve

Perhaps they will name it the Dominatrix - able to tie things together and then let you beat the cr@p out of them without worry :whistle: Steve

PM sent about the beech. Steve

Greetings - forum rule number 1, no pics, it didn't happen :P Red squirrels are fairly rare down this way, think I have only ever seen 1 in the wild. Did catch a sight of a black squirrel the other week as well, which I believe are moving in at the expense of the greys? If you are good enough...

Any insulation is better than none. Some insulations are better than others. If the garage is not usually heated your primary benefit from any insulation will be a decrease in 'heat escape' when you do heat it, and a possible decrease in condensation on the inside of the felt/tiles after you...

Welcome. A forum search (search button at the top of the web page) will be your friend here as this question gets asked surprisingly often. Since you do not state your budget but rather ask us to provide one it makes things a little more difficult. As a good entry level saw the SIP gets alot of...

Now you just need to work out how to get all 3 into one light socket to be able to see and you are sorted :wink: Steve

That is because Wentworth is a bulk supplier to a mass market. If you want individually cut puzzles with distinct clever cutting you need to look at someone like Staves Puzzles in the US. This will give you the challenge you seek, but you do pay for the priviledge of going bespoke. Check out...

Public perception mostly, and the desire of the human eye and brain to prefer symmetry and regularity. Most stamped puzzles have regular sized pieces and regular tabs, so thats what people expect from all puzzles. If you have one odd piece its amazing how the eye is drawn to it again and again...

Extremely impressive skills, but I have to ask - why?! Even in large images I couldn't tell some of the quilts were made of wood. Then again I suppose its art, and therrefore not supposed to be understood so much as to make you think :D Steve

As usual, very impressive and inspirational work Carter - I don't know how you find all these images as I never seem to! I have vowed to get back into scrolling for 2010 but am currently rebuilding my cellar/workshop so think it may be the latter half of the year before I can do much sadly...

Which is exactly the reason all these shows get such a huge audience. How interresting would Big Brother be with 12 well adjusted regular people in it? Not very. Stick in 12 wierdos who might either explode, hump each other to death or entertain us with their lack of even basic...

Cut on the downstroke - correct. Gently run your finger up the blade and you will feel it snag one way and not the other. They will cut on the upstroke just as well, but the top surface of your work then splinters rather than the bottom. This is the principle behind scroll reverse blades, which...

Dutch Elm disease - don't want that, thanks for the warning :wink: Steve

Gill is the best person to answer this as she has a couple of Hegners (and some diamonds, and a Dewalt and more!) but until she pops in, I would say that Hegners are held up as the Rolls Royce of Saws in the UK, and any you get, so long as its been looked after properly, should work well as a...

Welcome to the club, would also be interested to hear of your experience with the foot switch - in particular how sensitive it is and how much control you have over blade speed when using it. Steve

Gripfill, although it may be a bit thick for your application. Just a thought - have you any idea of the weight of a piece of MDF that size at 19mm thick. You are proposing to hang an 8x4 sheet on the wall from your measurements (1143mm x 1905mm), which is going to take an awful lot more to...
