I was always under the impression that Wealden only supply a product - they don't manufacture it :D They might have cutters produced somewhere to their specification but I'm pretty sure that they don't do any manufacturing themselves though :D Same as Trend - they don't actually manufacture...

Thanks all for the replies. I used to have a 35mm SLR and would love a digital SLR but can't justify spending that amount on a camera at the moment. The S9600 seemed like a good compromise. I don't mind the size or weight aspect - already been to a camera shop to get a feel of this camera and...

Thanks for the link, will have a good look a bit later - in work at the moment and my break ends soon so don't want my boss to think that I'm taking the **** :D I have looked at the Panasonic Lumix and it looks great - as do most of the digital cameras out there which doesn't make it easy when...

Been thinking of getting a new digital camera for a while and in the process of convincing the love of my life that my ageing Sony needs replacing! I’ve done a bit of research and one camera seems to keep coming to the top of my want list – the Fujifilm S9600. I’m sure that I’ve read on here...

Always found that the best router cutters are Titman - not as cheap as others mentioned here but not as expensive as some people think and definately the best that I've ever used. They seem to keep their edge a lot longer than any other router cutter that I've used. And they are the only...

Don't know if this will work but had a similar problem before and the easiest way that I found was to right click near the file to make a new folder and then drag the file into the folder and then delete the folder - for some reason this would delete the folder and the file that couldn't be...

Just use Avast or AVG - both are free to download, update and to use for as long as you like :D And in my opinion a lot better than Norton etc :D Ian

Dave The selection that you've made is pretty decent and will cope with the cutting that you've mentioned. The main factors when choosing the right tooth pitch is the material being cut, thickness of the material being cut and importance of finish. Just make sure that the sheet metal being...

Without wanting to cause offence, blow this topic out of proportion or be accused of turning this post into some brilliant marketing campaign can I put my point across with some explanations? Please accept my apologies in advance if this rambles on or seems to be a cheap effort at advertising...

It's also a good way of getting feedback on new blades - if a blade is new then feedback from different users with different machines will help make the blade a success or not - especially if it's a blade that most woodworkers haven't tried before. Ian

Thanks for the replies - have used interparcel before but forgot all about them so thanks for the link. Think that I will use them again for some parcels until the post strike is over. Regards Ian

Just wondering if anyone knows of a decent alternative to using Royal Mail? Send quite a lot of small parcels – mostly under 2kg and with the recent strikes it’s been a right pain not being able to post anything. Have used couriers for heavy items in the past but have found that for small...

A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife. She was determined to keep the ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she placed an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand. Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay and the other a drunk. She thought long and hard...

Did you ignore it long enough for him to get bored and leave. Then wait until midnight and go around to his house and bang on his windows to ask what he wanted :D Ian

Paul I hope the feedback wasn't too discouraging? The feedback that I gave wasn't meant to put you off starting a business just didn't want you to get carried away. If you want to start a business then you haven't got to compete with the big boys straight away or provide the choice of...

Tony Price depends on amount of teeth in the blade and weight of the blade for return postage but a 48tooth Festool blade works out around £10.00 plus return postage. Ian

I would be a bit wary of using a TCT blade on old sleepers just in case there's any nails or hard objects in the sleepers that you can't see. TCT bandsaws are expensive and can be easily damaged if you hit a nail. Hard tooth carbon blades are ok but you won't get a great blade life cutting Oak...

I would think twice before delving into the power tool market – the profit margin on most power tools is ridiculously low and to get any decent deals you have to purchase 5 or sometimes 10 of the same item leaving you with a large amount of stock that can take years to shift. Dewalt has already...

Just like watching Dad's Army on UK Gold :D Sorry Neil - couldn't resist - glad to see that Robbie 'GOD' Fowler is playing for the best team in the Championship though :D Ian

I've got Tom Tom mobile on my phone and have found it invaluable - has never failed to get me to where I need to go. The only problem that I've found is that when we were on holiday in Devon it wanted to take us down some of the narrowest lanes that I've ever seen! You can change the voice -...
