You don't have to give screwfix your name and postcode - they want it to spam you with marketing. Tell them no thanks and they will still serve you! Steve

Looks really good - can I ask what size the whole model is going to end up being in terms of height and length? Cheers, Steve

I take the following two points from your posts: You are good at what you do in terms of woodwork because you made a living from it for 25 years, and you didn't do it for the money so must have done it for the pleasure of it. For whatever reason, that pleasure has now diminished or gone and...

You know you can buy them for pennies each? http://www.woodworkscraftsupplies.co.uk ... _2_32.html E-bay also lists lots..... Steve

Interesting - I went yesterday too and spent a couple of hours. For those bemoaning the lack of power tools - its a show organised by Classic Hand Tools - how many machines were you expecting to see?! What surprised me was the lack of a book stall / magazine stall this time around. Good range of...

You have to either dig down as you suggest, or build up to a level base using some form of 'stop' where your base will be higher than ground level. Normal method is to shutter and pour concrete, then ground level is less of an issue. If you cannot concrete and want to avoid a spoil heap left...

Or better still, put the bolt in a drill press and (on a slow speed) hold the file against the turning bolt to save even more effort ;) Steve

oil fired rad is safest, but they do take a while to warm up - a fan heater will give instant heat but as stated, can burn dust if not cleaned regularly! Steve

I also used Reddiseals when doing the sash windows in my house. No problems with the quality of materials but you do need to know what you want. As for brush or rubber, I went with brush and haven't regretted it. Don't fit the beading too tight to the sash frames however, as this will cause the...

A word of caution on using a tyre - rubber is bouncy - miss the log with your axe and it is going to come straight back at you, possibly faster than it left! Steve

I would offer slightly different advice - lean how to convert from feet and inches to metric, learn fractions of an inch to mm, know the difference between 2400 x 1200 boards and 8' x 4' boards, and be able to work out board feet and cubic meters (or parts thereof) as well as being able to count...

I always thought it was 'cookie' after a fortune cookie - there is a message inside tucked out of sight. Might be completely wrong on that though! Steve

That was superb - thanks for posting. It is not until you see that kind of film that you realise how skills can die out so quickly! Steve

Steve - seriously think there is the scope for you to make DVDs of actually making objects rather than demonstrating equipment. Think Norm for the UK market - you have shown people how to set up a workshop, now show them what you can do with it! Steve

It is you that will cop the penalty, not RingGo. Annoying as it may be, I would take any steps you can to resolve the issue - fine to complain to RingGo afterwards, but to challenge them now will give you 2 battles to fight and might not help in the first if you are arguing with one of the...

You are genetically programmed to find food, fight disease, avoid predators and live to reproductive age and then produce offspring. Ensuring they survive childhood is also genetically influenced, but certainly not to the extent that humans take the family unit. Man is just an ape that can walk...

I see a major issue - selling the house without putting in another kitchen first! ;)

Look like guttering sections to me.... Steve

Sabine Schmitz - the female presenter of the German version of top gear. She did the Nurburgring in a transit and took part in the UK-German challenge show as well - good sense of humour and loves her cars. Apart from that, I cannot immediately think of anyone who would be as good if Top Gear...
