Thanks for the quick and informative replies everybody,will go check,sharpen and adjust as suggested,thanks again.

Hi All, I have a project I am about to start which involves me needing to make about 80 mortices approx 50mmx 50mm x 50mm in some treated softwood. I intend to use my "hobby" Axminster morticer which I am alway reluctant to use because it's always agro to use.The problem is one, it seems more...

Sorry didn't explain myself very well,you're right Steve that was what I was thinking.There is not much money in the job and certainly not enough to go buying a load more cramps.I do like the idea of doing it Chrispy's way but I think it will need to do it as the sandwich particularly as I will...

Chrispy did you soak or steam the timbers before you bent them?

Thanks guys, originally I thinking I would laminate the beams the other way,in other words, across the beam,maybe three laminations about 15mm thick.Do you think this is not a good idea and would it not be as strong?

Thanks Chrispy that's very interesting and helpful,can I ask what size each lamination is and what the span was if you still remember.Thanks again.

I need to produce a number of curved beams,not sure how to describe them but they will be about a 3m span with a rise to the top of the curve of about 600mm.How would you all suggest making them and what size section.They are to produce a curved roof to a number of aviaries for birds so will not...

I can't say I agree with further or increased benefits per say.In roughly the same area as the Head of Valley road is a proposal for the Circuit of Wales a privately funded project for a new state of the art Race circuit but it needs a Welsh Government guarantee to cover 70% of the funding which...

Wales has its own mini HS2 its called the Heads of the Valleys road.A road to a large extend funded by EU (our) money.It cuts through large section of countryside and will shorten journey times considerably.It passes through some of the highest Leave vote areas so clearly EU funding has not...

Andrew Marr this morning summed it all up very well I thought https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcxH9z8VdaY

Have a look at these people, http://www.roma-interiors.co.uk/index.html it was my company until I sold it 10 years ago,they have a good reputation and 10K with them would go a long way.

Once we have voted who does the counting to come up with the result?Being a complete cynic my concern is can they be "leant on" by Cameron and his cronies? I understand a number of Birthday honours have gone to Remain campaigners so for me this would just be a step further to suit his ends.

Hi Steve, thanks for the offer but you are over 4hrs away so I will give it a miss but again thanks for the offer.

Sorry for me he just does it for effect,which I guess is ok but it's not for me.Looking as flowery as he did maybe he just went to the wrong studio and was supposed to be on Gardeners Question Time.

I only caught the tail end,must get on to iplayer.Izzard certainly looked a pratt and not someone to be taken seriously.My missis says I am an old fashioned 60 year old when I make comments about people like him but hey ho.

I have an old Kity 1637 P/T with a removed motor which I am trying to re fit but I do not know which wire goes to which terminal.Is there out there some kind soul who has one who could tell me where the wires go,ideally a photo of inside the machine would be great but any help/advice would be...

I think when it comes to the vote most will go with their gut feeling rather than any so called facts they are told by either side.It seems that every "fact"that is broadcast by which ever side is countered by an equally truthful sounding "fact" by the opposite side.I don't think any of us can...
