    Free Myford ML8 Project

    Brake fluid works better than WD40.WD40 was developed against humidity, lots of other oils and solvents are less viscous with better penetration, capillary action is your friend when things are stuck, and as an option a Brummie screwdriver*. Here it* is known as a Belgian scrwdriver. Brake...

    Lovely old Walker Turner band saw

    Also, if your phone has "record" take spoken notes ( like a pathologist would ) as you dismantle . Take a roll of zip lock baggies ( and a marker pen to mark on the outside what is in them ) and a couple ( or more if they'll stack inside each other ) of plastic bowls ( the kind that you'd use...

    Foot switch for lathe safety?

    Some of the industrial ones don't , they also have lift pedals, backtack pedals, and one of mine has a stop pedal that will do programmable things before it stops.Or stop dead. Pete, I would worry about interference on the channel.Our main TV adjusts it's volume independently late at night ...

    The things your parents said to you...

    Don't ..............just that "Don't" ...........I heard it a lot. Well actually there were sometimes other words added after to make a somewhat normal sentence, but. I left home early.

    New company, new career

    Why use them, put your own site up and use stripe or paypal ( the latter I would not normally advise, because they have a nasty habit of holding onto merchants money for all sorts of spurious reasons, but YMMV ) "buy now" type buttons.Easy to integrate them, and their "take" is smaller, also...

    gotta say........

    I know Adam :-) My comment / explanation was more for others.. France is "special". Can be great, but is always extremely frustrating. In the preface to one of his books ( I think it might have been "The sands of Mars", but I don't have it to hand , it is still in a box waiting for me to build...

    gotta say........

    re "single handed" Here, I was translating what they are referred to in the vernacular as here. Stihl DE won't let you import directly from them to here, prices at the local agents are ridiculous, when they admit that models exist.I asked them about the "top handle" models when I bought my 211c...

    Supersizing a female figurine

    Very nice elegant lines there, if you add a hat , perhaps something in the style of a Fascinator ( you could add it to your piece which tore ), easy to make from lace, or net, or both and a little tissue ( bow or whatever ) you can add glitter to it with a dab of varnish or glue.

    gotta say........

    I've got 4 of their chainsaws, very impressed.The only thing is that the chains are not anti-kick, so if the buyer isn't expecting it, and doesn't have much arm strength, could get messy.End of this month they are doing a light weight petrol driven 25cc model with single handed "on top" handle...

    not a joke. Middle aisle has Japanese saws..bought 4 today. they are only there once a year. Also bought tomatoes ( Moroccan ) , I paid €2.50 per kilo, as many kilos as I want, no limits on fruit or veg in any shops. Passata was on special 48cts for a 1 litre brick, again no limits. Methinks...
