Oh Dear. Sorry to hear about your predicament, but there are a few misconceptions on this thread. MRSA is a bacteria, not a virus. It stands for Methicillin Resistant Staphlococcus aureas, and is a strain of S aureas that has developed resistance to most (but not all) antibiotics. As much as a...

Thanks laird, thats interesting. The one problem I can forsee however is that if I were to salvage any, I would need to cut it to get it home and store it safely before informing the receiver of wrecks. Knowing my luck I would get done for criminal damage as well as theft! Think I will leave...

Aye, and there are plenty of warnings that its a criminal offence to take it :cry: Shame, because I cannot believe the original owner or the shipper will pay for the salvage, suspect most of it will be recycled or dumped after being cleared from the beach. Anyone know whether salvage ever gets...

Interesting question. You have several choices when it comes to healthcare: NHS all the way Private all the way NHS but for specific ailments/operations go private where you require it Things to consider are that for A+E type emergencies you are always going to be an NHS patient. Bupa do not...

Thanks Bob, thats fine. I need to do some measuring and thinking before making a decision - its a long way from Kent to Corby! With the rounded edges, would a quick swipe over the planer make them square or is it a bandsaw job to take off 5mm or so? Steve.

Quick question for those who have already been - are the beech legs 4" square, and would they be useable glued up as a bench top? Seems a quick way of getting a 4" thick slab to me..... Steve.

Aye, I second Gills comment. Care to expand on the faults of the Hegner / Axminster please? Steve.

You like them then :D Just don't drop the things on the floor, especially the puzzle blades, at thinner than a human hair they are the devils own to find let alone pick up! Steve.

I can confirm tyre diameter DOES affect speed and distance. When I biked to work (135 miles a day) I used to get a new front tyre approx every 12,000 miles. My journey length increased by approx 4 miles a day between a new tyre being fitted and an old one being removed simply because the tyre...

8 x 8 meters - thats not a shed its a warehouse! :mrgreen: Enjoy it!

Ooh, that looks a devil to put together Carter since the stripe patterns repeat. Nice change in cutting style too, bit difficult to do a colour line cut on stripes :wink: Steve.

Gill is the MDF Queen but I havent seen her on here for ages despite being a mod for the scrolling board - think she has real life commitments at the moment. Could try a pm perhaps or do a forum search - I have a feeling she was using a lacquer from Wickes but could be completely wrong on...

Problem is that its actually filmed in the summer each year and 'held over' to the xmas schedules. I used to watch it regularly, back to the days of Bill Kazmier and Geoff Capes; Magnus ver Magnusson and Gary Taylor et al. Now it seems to have got a bit silly with loads of heats and...

Perhaps its just me, but I would feel really uncomfortable doing this. An easy way to lose a finger with just one small slip. Break the blade on a turn and having your hand shoot over the stump of the blade would make an awful mess. A scrollsaw has a thin blade for a reason - it allows you to...

Hi and welcome to the forums. As well as the advice from Frank, the search button at the top of the page may be helpful since this question gets asked fairly regularly and there is some good advice in those earlier threads. You might also want to look at ones dealing with blade choice too - this...

Nice one! Best of luck and look forward to seeing how it goes :D Steve.

There are two main reasons for the slide of sterling. The first is interest rates - the higher a country's interest rates the better the return you get on their currency as an investment. UK rates are lower than the eurozone and likely to fall further so euros are a more attractive investment...

The main reason for not joining the Euro is losing fiscal control of our own country's monetary strategy. In any multiple state enterprise any decision will always be a compromise and it will not be in favour of any particular member all of the time, so some decisions would be bad for the UK...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but in the paper on the way home was an advert for an 80gb PS3 plus 4 recent games for £280. For what you have I would think anything over £200 would be a good sale second hand. Remember the 40gb is not backwards compatible with PS2 games, so the quality of...

The easiest way is to use the sides of the table as your reference ie make a sled that sits over the entire table with runners that bracket the table itself. This will stop left to right movement. The only caveat is to ensure your blade is aligned with the table edges, and that will depend on...
