Hi Dibs For a start, let me say my bit on many thanks for all your work on this. I really didn't believe it was going to be that cheap !! I had to go back and double check the addition =D> =D>. There's nothing been added yet to the spreadsheet for P & P ? Are we to be generous and add...

Tolerances- and just to make it more difficult, most of us are mixing Al and MS. I'm not going to attempt to do the sums ! Rob

I took up bees in my late teens (early 1960's) after getting involved in an out apiary near Fort William operated by a friend at that time. He had access to a big house which he took school kids from Fife to (with any double entendre - we did things with those kids which would never be...

Reference water jet cutting - did you watch the programme on BBC 2 this evening (Sunday 9.05 pm) on Rolls Royce and making Jet Engines ? Fantastic programme - if you missed it, wind up your IPlayer and watch it on that. It was an absolute credit to all the guys at RR and also to the film...

There's always a spoilsport ! Might be worth checking here http://www.beekeepingforum.co.uk/ The Moose of course will have personal knowledge - he does no doubt rub himself up against handy hives :D :D Rob

......And I use a test piece to get the tool height I require and then creep in the fence to get the depth of cut. There's no way I would ever work off a measurement as it would really be meaningless in terms of the fence position wrt the cutter and how much cut you are going to make per...

Ahh.. but Daddy says that all good things have to stop sometime :roll: :tongue9: Rob

Thanks for the comments guys - I do have to admit that I don't remember actually seeing any launched sausages, but they must have gone upwards! Carrying on the subject of the draw in a fire, I was told quite a remarkable story by a British guy I do business with in the south of France. He...

Cue Monty Python "A classic example of this approach was the use of Chapman's "Colonel" character, who as a member of the "Anti-Silliness Patrol" walked into several sketches and ordered them to be stopped because things were becoming "far too silly." (Courtesy of Wikipedia) Rob

Bob - to be pedantic, it wouldn't be doing any 'real' measurement, but in the scenario I'm talking of, it would be doing 'useful' measurement, albeit it could just be a series of numbered marks and not a true ruler. Rob

Actually I'm not terribly sure that agree totally with that. I'm not that up on all fence clamping techniques but mine is a home made affair that has two clamping screws such that I can 'creap' one side to give fine adjustment by pivoting the fence. I've seen me put pencil lines on the table...

As a bee keeper I do need to tell you that this is a load of b*********s. :sign3: Rob

Your picture and the above comments bring back a memory of going to a BBQ many years ago. The guy was a builder and had a brick built BBQ. The flu was of a reasonable size and so configured that fish could be wrapped in foil and cooked at the outlet. I was cooking sausages on the flat steel...

"I cannae lie but I only became a neap since I came up here " A Neap ? TURNip !! How's that. I suspect 'neap' is a local term. Rob

Not being one to cause waves and call people names :roll: :roll:, I am hoping, Stutters, that you are not taking offence at being given written orders from another member - an English immigrant :D :lol: to these northern parts too foresooth. I just hope he's not bringing mad manners with...

Yes, clever, Mr S !! And only those old enough to suffer are likely to be sitting at their keyboards in the middle of the day sending one another silly messages !! :D Must get out more - the garden does requie some more planting out! Rob

Ahh ... what a clever tool the Quote button !! I can now read what was said ! The font size did somewhat challenge. :shock: (Suitable emoticon for reading small print ). Rob

Bob Dark colours is what bears wear! Rob

Shells If you go to the Memberlist and sort it by Location - then wade through to about page 100 you will find that Kent is well represented. Don't even ask why I know this - it's too sad :roll: :roll: Thanks for your help Rob

Yes, I did wonder how a Kentish man was able to supply the info that didn't seem to be immediately available ------ and why, when he really is about as far away as one can get. :D :wink: Thanks Shells. Rob
