We spent the weekend at a hotel in central Nottingham. What a nightmare the one-way system is! And to cap it all, our car was ticketed on Saturday night at 11.29pm! I thought we'd be safe after 6pm, but sadly not. John, who'll never be going there again!

Oh, how I cringed as his fingers got closer to the blade! One of those things I'd rather not have seen - the stuff of nightmares. Still, you can't use a push stick on a boiled egg, eh? John

Nick, Gorilla Wipes might do the trick. They remove black marks left on fingers by polyurethane glue, which does take some shifting! John

Ah, dry assembly! :oops: Now that's a stage I seem to have missed out on. Cut all the joints, try each one for fit separately, glue it up and Bob's your aunty! But I didn't assemble the whole thing to see how it sat. I was in a bit of a hurry, see? I'm so glad I ask questions here...

I’ve made some frames from 2½” x 1” (finished) pine 2’ 3” x 2’ 9” overall. The mortice and tenon joints are made on a Trend M & T jig, and as far as I can ensure, the joints are cut square. The first two frames were glued up and cramped, but when the cramps came off they were decidedly...

Gill, "I'm game" is not a safe statement to make in conjunction with cooking recipes! John

"It may take a week"???? Mine was a bit faster than that on dial-up! But not by much. John

Thanks Terry, that's very helpful! Regards, John

Following the recommendations here, I downloaded AVG and find it excellent. I then cleared Norton from my computer, and everything works faster now!! The only downside to AVG is that it scans my computer every morning at 8am, and I can't change this unless I buy the higher level of the...

Nobody has yet mentioned another aspect of this, in that many of these messages are typed at the close of the day, when the shoes are kicked off and the relationship resumed with that saucy Belgian minx, Mlle. Stella Artois. I suspect that she is to blame for many a typo, and a...

"It used to be three days to get an appointment" So is it longer now, or shorter? I guess that's rhetorical! Is it worth going to A and E, and getting something done under local? Otherwise it's going to be some time before you resume the manufacture of sawdust! Best of luck, anyway. John

Well, it's obvious what needs to be done, DW. The distal piece of nail needs to go. :shock: :( So, take a pair of pliers, grip the nail firmly, and with a swift but sure action, remove it to ensure complete healing of the finger. Oh, it's so easy to see the obvious answer when it's someone...

Is the finger back in use, DW, or is it only good for pointing? John

"Phil and I are a formidable pair when we get over a hot stove wearing nothing but a pinny." I can't tell you what a HORRIBLE mental picture that gives me! Two of you, in one pinny? Just beware the hot fat and the glowing barbeque grille, eh? Please can we get back to woodworking? PLEASE...

Oh, you really do make me sick! If that's playing, what would you do if you got serious? :lol: You are very talented where graphics are concerned - I often look at your SketchUp efforts, and go green with envy. The next step is to start manufacturing them and getting them on the market for...

Steve, I can see the bell, but where's the thing you hold to your ear, and the bit you speak into? :lol: John

I have to agree with Scrit. I priced up some wheels a couple of months ago, and Machine Mart were much cheaper than Axminster or Screwfix. John

I've always understood that nerves heal very slowly. No doubt the feeling will come back in time. I hope you aren't wasting the healing time, but are planning lots of new projects! Regards, John

Thanks, DW. How's your finger? John

Thanks, guys. Between you, you sorted me out. AND cheered me up! Regards, John
