Did you find any finger (paw) prints at the scene Bob? :lol:

Weekdays, cereals or croissants. Weekends a full English fry up! Yummy! :D

Got back late last night after a long run on the bike to Bob's bash. Got to add my heartfelt thanks to Bob for a great day. Very informative for all of us especially the commercial wood workers to speed things up. It was nice to meet some of the members and put names to faces (if i remember...

I have to agree with your garage Roger, Most repairs on cars nowadays are very expensive due to all the electronics. I am not a fan of electronics on vehicles, too much to go wrong and when they do there's not much you can do about it but take it to a garage. It seems like everything on a car...

I did one using the same method recently, but I was lucky enough to have corner pieces to go over the mitres so they didn't have to be that critical. :D

A good friend of mine is a tyre fitter and hates those cars with the compressor and goo. Apparently it is done to save weight due to getting the emission with the lean burn engines. They will supply a spare wheel/tyre but it will cost you as it is an optional extra. I personally think it is a...

I would also go with the torsion box solution. I built some wide wardrobes with a shelf above and used this method and I could hang off it it was so strong. (That was 12mm MDF) :wink:

I built a ramp for my bike, heavy 250 kilos! for my van. I used 2X4 pressure treated with diagonal bracing underneath on a ladder frame. i also put a lip on the top to stop the wheels falling off and a metal hook on the front to hook onto the van. It cost me almost as much as buying a metal one...

To coin a phrase from a Clint Eastwood movie just after he had battered a guy with a piece of wood: "You can't beat a good piece of Hickory" :lol:

You can get concealed hinges for fixing to face frames, I know Haflele do them. :wink:

I'm not sure, friend gave me it, it has a funny greenish colour. :oops: :lol: I had better give an explanation to this. I read the post just as Alvan posted I read it but he had posted the wrong photo (A golf club) then when i looked again it had gone so I re -posted only to find the correct...

I totally ignore them all when I am at work as it's usually someone trying to sell something. :evil:

A GOLF CLUB??? Have I missed something? ooh er, I take it back, it's dissapeared? What was in that coffee? :lol: ah! now I see, had a bit of a problem with the photo did you? :lol: Sorry, it appears I read the post just as you were uploading it. great idea. :wink:

Yes the mirror adhesive works well. I built a bathroom cabinet with a large mirror on the front I think it was around 600 x 400 and it was solid as a rock. I had to weight it down and leave overnight but it worked fine on MDF.

if you are going for one of the ones you have posted I would make it the black one even though it does need a separate feed. That one has 14CFM output which is what you will need for HVLP. P.S. I got Bob's old one, good machine.

Well finally got the cupboards finished at last. customer was very happy with the results too. :D I sure am glad I didn't have to paint all these shelves. Glad to also say that everything else went well today after yesterdays episode with the plinth. Well it was well worth it in the end as...

I spent today fitting the concealed cabinets I have been building.....still not finished! when I got there the plinth needed a lot of hacking about to accommodate some pipe work. Then the units needed cut outs for a heating controller and a couple of sockets. By the time I had that lot done it...

We are becoming a Nanny state! :roll:

I always use these for my toy boxes, they work really well and are pretty cheap from here. http://www.eurofitdirect.co.uk/soft-clo ... right-hand HTH. :wink:

I have to admit to agreeing with you all on this. I have just finished watching the Breaking bad series and was totally engrossed. I am also now engrossed in Mammon and Fargo at the moment. I also hear there is another series of The Returned being filmed too. Can't wait for that one. :D
