Hi, I've done lots of "V" groving; the slight flat at the bottom has never been a problem; however if you decide to use a saw table depending on the size of the panel you are working on if it's a big panel then I doubt you'll have much success because of control also if you have limited space...

Hi, Photographer Removes Our Smartphones to Show Our Strange and Lonely New World Kind regards, Colin.

Hi, Many thanks guys for your interesting replies. The video is very funny indeed; the lady at 1:26 falling over the planter hardly lost contact with her mobile phone. Thanks Daniel2. I don't need a mobile phone of my own for one of these to annoy me. ;) Years ago I did buy a dash cam...

Hi, Who's in charge; the person owning the mobile phone or the mobile phone? Just an irrelevant question because I don't use a mobile phone. Kind regards, Colin.

Hi, Eye protection? Kind regards, Colin.

Hi, Micro-Cap User Downloads This CAD program used to be expensive. Here's a video; Kind regards, Colin.

Hi, I doubt we'll ever be clear of Covid; Hairdresser fined £17K stopped by police as she planned to reopen again Why didn't the police also fine the customers? My wife and I both retired take Covid very seriously indeed; I only visit the supermarkets for necessary shopping; my wife hasn't...

Hi, For years I tried various CAD programs some free some bought; I struggled for ages just to draw a straight line. Eventually I found; FREE CAD Software | Design Custom Parts | eMachineShop Yes it's engineering but I now use this for any CAD I need; one major project I did needed 45 cast...

Hi, A few years ago I installed new wainscot panelling to our bedroom walls; the floor is carpeted and I wanted a neat edge to the carpet so added a wooden strip leaving a gap for the carpet to tuck under. This cost very little indeed and the height of the strip is easily adjusted as is the...

Hi, These guys are incredible; Kind regards, Colin.

Hi, Years ago I gave away free to a friend a "Sound Sales" vintage valve radio I'd bought previously for only a tenner but decided not to restore it because it was like an industrial type with a cube shaped metal cabinet and little appeal also it needed connecting to speakers. My friend placed...

Hi, Apologies for any offence caused which was totally unintended towards you DBT85. I was thinking more of the car drivers in our local Morrison's & Aldi who manage to occupy four parking bays with their one car even if they do have all the electronic aids like rear cameras. I've never used...

Hi, Thanks Lons. The Citygo is as you rightly say a nice little car; our former neighbour has had two from new and loves them. Your mate will find the Yeti brilliant and I wonder if the electronics hold up if they will eventually become classics. Thanks for adding the VRS picture; we had a...

Hi, We bought our new Skoda Yeti almost five years ago it being an SE L 2.0L diesel in black. Usually we trade in before the MOT is due but this Yeti is the best car we've ever owned having owned 13 new cars since 1990. The Yeti is due for a cambelt/water pump also it's service & MOT in July so...

Hi, A few years ago I noticed on eBay a Burgess Sprayit SR122 paint spraying kit that I really fancied it having a starting bid of £20 on it. I used to borrow my friends Sprayit about 50 years ago and even sprayed my then VW classic split screen camper with it; I liked this little compressor...

Hi, I retired from active conflict in 2000 aged 53 and was glad to walk down the works yard for the last time from an highly stressful job. My wife and I planned for retirement when we first married so paid into my final salary pension scheme meaning now in retirement we're far better off than...

Hi, I've bought from "K Steels" whom I find cheap but there is a £25 minimum order and they'll cut it to fit into a car if needed; it's about quarter the price from a model engineer store. BMS at 12mm or 1/2" is handy to have in stock. I order by email and arrange to collect from their local...

Hi, Well done Cooper a credit to you and now you've got three excellent tools to play with. Thanks for sharing. (y) I too have lots of industrial TC tips for metal lathe work but if these are to be used they would need re-sharpening to a different angle; TC tips meant for woodturning are...

Hi, Like JoeS I can measure ten times and still get it wrong but then I've only been practicing for the last 60 years. There's no known cure. Kind regards, Colin.

Hi, Sorry Richard my misunderstanding. Could you by-pass the switch and install a DOL starter which would still give motor protection. Hopefully pressing the button harder as suggested by Danieljw will work; if not are you sure the motor is still OK if it isn't it could be the cause of not...
