Richard, Already have a SCMS so of no interest to me I'm afraid. However I would love to hear more about the narrowboat fitout as, I am sure would many others on these forums. Andre

And I always thought that it was so that no matter how much the saw drifted you could always claim to have followed the line.

You could try typing 'sex' and 'pencil' into Google :-)

Chipp71970. Did you include any provision for access from the inside so that if the hatch is shut while you are in the loft you can get out? jasonB. I did look at that but it is not the right size. I suspect that in a new build it is just a case of cutting out the right hole in the...

I use puTTY and it seems to do everything it should. Download here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Andrew

I must admit I had looked at touch latches but thought that perhaps they wouldn't hold the weight. If I can find some heavy duty ones then they would be ideal since I then wouldn't require either an external latch or any form of key. Not sure of the advantage of the cranked hinges though. This...

Is this another site that doesn't conform to www standards and does not work with Opera? Andrew

I am planning on upgrading my loft hatch replacing a single panel that lifts into the loft with a door that hinges down. This is (a) to make it easier to use it with a loft ladder and (b) to provide an opportunity to insulate the door. Can anyone recommend hinges and latches that would be...

But you're only considering the static weight. What about the dynamic forces when in use :D Andrew

Be careful moving full sheets on a roof-rack. Make sure that the front is well tied down. I lost half a sheet of mdf that way. As I got towards 30mph the front (of the mdf, not the car) started to act as a wing and lift and suddenly half the sheet was in the road behind me. Luckily there was...

Any idea when this was patented. Given that jets didn't really take off (groan) until perhaps the 70's I suspect that the most lucrative times were after the patent expired. Andrew

Although if you want to be pedantic about it what we paid off at the end of last year was a 'post-war' loan and the reason that we didn't pay it off sooner was less to do with it being crippling and more to do with the very good interest rate that we were paying. More info here. So if anyone...

Thanks Colin, Do you know if the KSP40 will fit on the standard solid guide rail if I were to decide that I needed a longer rail at a later date? I think that it is the KSS300 that comes with the cross-cut rail. I've seen it and it looks pretty useful for site work. Andrew

While on the subject of Mafell saws (and apologies for hijacking this thread) people keep talking about them as an alternative to the Festool. But which model are they talking about? I am going to need something like this for cutting sheet material. The KSP40 looks ideal as far as size goes...

Or for a little more you could have the Bessey K series which seem to be highly rated on here. Andrew

Which comes about as a result of one of the derivations of the golden ratio, namely that x = 1/x + 1 which for any starting value of x will tend quite rapidly towards the golden ratio with repeated iteration. But that is probably more than you wanted to know. I was wondering how it ever started...

I first came across the 'Golden Ratio' some time ago and the Fibonacci sequence even longer ago. However it is only recently that I found out that they are connected and that the ratio between successive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence tends towards the 'Golden Ratio' Andrew

I have never come across anything stated but from first principles the "Golden Ratio" is about 1:1.62. If you were talking about a box where the length is 1.62 * the width and the width is 1.62 * the height then this would give approximate proportions of: 5 : 8 : 13 Is this what you were...

You've been listening to Bernard Manning (RIP) :-)
