Plenty of the wet stuff up here too. The cherry has fruitlets already so I think will be OK. Too soon to see whether the apple and pear blossom will also bear fruit. Rhubarb on the other hand is going mad.. cheers Andy

It is not only eggs that are sold in imperial measurements over here. Wheels and tyres (or tires) for cars and bicycles are still sold in inches, worldwide. Andy

I'm surprised no one has mentioned these. Adapted from one of BB's ideas. Not necessary to use bench dogs and pups can be just as easily clamped to the bench or table

This is a sled that I knocked up a couple of weeks ago. Although pictured without it, the riving knife does fit through slot in the far end. No guard as such but the lump of timber attached front to back will, I hope, stop anything being flung back towards me. Basic design copied from Mark...

I'm always left wondering, after seeing the AFDs from Veritas, how many they would actually sell if they made them available. I am sure there would be takers. My LA smoother by the way still lives in the cardboard Veritainer as supplied, although it does now get it's own sock as well. cheers...

Having read EC's excellent biography a while ago, it's a wonder he ever made it to 50, let alone 67...another belated happy birthday wish! - Rob yep, they don't make them like that any more, Alf too I suspect :wink: :D Happy Birthday Andy

Am I right in thinking that the digital radio standard is not at all standard across Europe which is causing concern amongst motoring manufacturers? Andy

The problem is that I have yet I've yet to find a keyboard (Mac or PC) that can type as fast as my brian :D :wink: cheers Andy

I stopped sending documents in Word as soon as I my first Mac. It is far to easy for a recipient to amend, deliberately or accidentally a Word type file even if it has been password protected. A PDF file, IMO is far more secure. Andy

Excuse me if you already now this. You can create a PDF on a mac without the need for any additional software. From the Print Pop Up Window select PDF (bottom left corner) and then save as PDF. Cheers Andy

think carefully about the conduit runs don't do this this is much better I spent weeks thinking about and it took me about 2 mins to realise my mistake. Andy

If it is not too late I would recommend putting a socket or two in the floor. In my 3m x 3m workshop I have to have everything on wheels and pull them out into the centre of the workshop, being able to plug them into the floor saves having to trail leads across the floor. Cheers Andy

and presumably in sheets 2.4m x 1.2m? Andy

rob, you are right. I am not sure I understand the reasons. It could be that there is not the demand ie people here are less interested in creative hobbies or that it is too expensive (overheads) for businesses to supply tools and equipment at price to generate a demand. There is a different...

Rob, if you get a moment on the day perhaps you could ask someone at Axminster if they have any plans to expand into Europe? I've yet to find a retailer online, or otherwise, that offers the range at the price with the customer support that we all appreciate with Axminster. Having said that...

3 layers of 18m mdf (with beech lipping) on top of 25mm veneered chipboard desk top - not sagged yet. The chipboard does not reach all the way to edge of the MDF hence it is not visible cheers Andy

BB, how about replacing one of your kitchen drawers with a pull out table? Andy

KNOBS and KNOCKERS - always loved that name :D not 60p and you'll have to pay postage but weare getting closer to http://www.worldofdiy.co.uk/diy/Main/sp ... -catch.asp Cheers Andy

Stef, looks like normal french building standards to me :D If it hasn't fallen down yet I would not worry Cheers Andy
