As Pete said. Modern machines use less water than older ones so it is likely that the water wouldn't have run hot by the time they are filled so it would still need to heat the water and would leave hot water in the pipes to go cold. So in reality its probably more energy efficient that way. Andrew

Isaac Lord do the Blumotion ones which I think were the original smooth close drawer runners. I think that Woodfit might do them as well and they would be a bit nearer to you. Andrew

To be used with TS2000, HMS260 and Basato 3. Not all at the same time. I have a Trend T30A for use with hand tools. Andrew

I have a fair quantity of Beech to cut and thickness to size and it is evident that it will produce a fair dollop of dust - probably more than is suitable for my usual method of dumping it on the drive and then brushing up when finished. So. it is about time that I got myself a dust extractor...

One of the editions of Grand Designs shown over the weekend had a staircase with treads made out of a couple of thicknesses of ply (total probably about 50mm) with a 5mm veneer on top. Since the couple concerned weren't exactly sparing the pennies (IIRC the whole house cost £1.9m and the cooker...

Not sure the council does either. They are planning on it running in a dedicated channel in open countryside but as soon as it hits the city it runs on (highly congested) roads like everyone else. Net advantage - Nil :twisted: I'll stop now lest this be considered political :wink:

Matt, That is a bit of a difficult question because Cambridgeshire is so big and I doubt if anyone here really knows all of it. You say small town so I presume that you are ruling out Cambridge itself which if she is moving from Lincolnshire is probably a good thing because property there is...

Sorry Andy, should have read your post a bit better. For some reason I thought you were talking about formatting a cell as Text which is what I had been doing to avoid conversion to a date. Looks like you were already one step ahead of me. Andrew

Now after my first coffee of the day and a bit of further reading... If we a talking about having to format a cell in order to enter a fraction then why not just format the cell as a fraction. Select fraction as the cell format and select up to two (or up to three) digits. then Gill can just...

Too true. I was starting with a new sheet and didn't know what Gill was doing. Of course, Excel being ever helpful will keep 400/456 as a fraction even if it is not formatted as text, it's only if it thinks you are trying to enter a date that it will convert it. I do think that some of these...

Not quite what I was suggesting but from memory when I was applying for my degree several of the Scottish University prospectuses (prospecti?) were suggesting that if you were 18 and had A Levels then you may be able to skip the first year. I was looking for a four year sandwich course with a...

Alan, you beat me to it. Andrew

But that only works if the fraction has a single digit on top and on the bottom. It will fall down for something like 15/16. A more generic solution (again assuming that the value is in cell A5) would be: =LEFT(A5,FIND("/",A5)-1)/RIGHT(A5,LEN(A5)-FIND("/",A5)) Gill, how are your getting your...

Except that Scottish Highers mean that in Scotland they only have one year in the six-form so start University at age 17. Hence the first year of a four year course is the same as the last year at school in England. So, in reality a four year course at a Scottish University is no different to a...

'fraid I have no information about cots but doesn't Les's 100mm sphere come from the requirement for the spindles on stairs needed to satisfy building regulations? Andrew

Or for the UK try this: http://www.visualflight.co.uk/vfrterrain/

I'll take that as a no then. :(

A review of wipe on finishes in this months FWW concluded that the best (and one of the cheapest) was the Minwax wipe-on Poly. Anyone know if this is available in the UK? I would like to give it a go. Andrew

Doh!! I bought something there a whle ago and they thumbed through the Hafele catalogue to find it. Determined then that they could get just about anything but then forgot whilst browsing the Hafele website. I shall have a word next time I am in there (which since it is primarily a tools shop...

Isasc Lord and Woodfit were my first ports of call since I have both their catalogues. No joy from either though. Hafele has something similar but no prices and they only sell to the trade although I am sure that that is not insurmountable. Ahhh. That looks like it. Bit of a difference in...
