Yebut BB, you have to know which Schroders investments to go for...some do well and others not so well. It's picking them that's the game :wink: - Rob

Roy, I'm afeard that you're wrong about me being savvy with money...I'm not, but my brother is! I can't really answer your question (maybe Rog could) but my very limited experience is based on my youngest brothers advice. I initially went to an FSA who calculated my 'risk' assessment base on...

Here's a good one from the Beeb. My BMI is 23 and I'm like someone from Papua New Guinea :shock: :lol: - Rob

The problem is Rog, which do you pick and how do you know? The H&L '150 Best' is easy to follow and very easy to see what's doing well. I've got my money in a lot more than 7 funds ranging from Schroder Tokyo through to Blackrock Gold. I agree it's not investment advice, but the advice from...

If it's for a long term (10 years) investment, I've put quite a lot into a Hargreaves Landsdown portfolio of their 150 best performing equities. They send you all the info and it's dead easy to do over the 'phone. I know very little about this sort of thing, but my youngest brother (who is the...

Right chaps, to put you out of your misery :lol: if you're going to Pete Sefton's Bash tomorrow, you can have a little play (hammer) but don't expect the blade to be left in the plane on the bench with squillions of people around...it'll be in it's holder in my pocket and you'll have to ask...

Good stuff, but the caul on top of the job in an vacuum press ain't needed :? ...I've done stuff as big in my AirPress, just lob it in the bag, seal it up and switch on the pump. What I do which is slightly different is to cover all the sharp edges of the job with a few layers of thick paper...

Would some moderator kindly like to me explain why the title to MY thread has been altered? :evil: :evil: ...'cos I certainly didn't do it. Does it transgress any forum rules? Probably not, so why was it altered without consultation? - Rob...awaiting an answer Edit - as no answer has been...

The solution to your problem lies here. The sliding 'T' bolts will fit the Ax track, but the threads are 'murrican, so Whitworth or equivalent. Metric knobs won't fit on the threads...annoying, but just use the ones in the set - Rob

There's an article in the current F&C (p46) about using the router to thickness material. A three winged bottom cutting bit with chamfered or rounded corners is recommended and the one that Pete found (http://www.wealdentool.com/acatalog/Onl ... g_250.html) is the bad boy that'll do the job - Rob

If he replaces Steve Wright it won't be soon enough - Rob

+1...couldn't happen in London though...it'd get rained off :( - Rob

I bought a netsuke recently in Japanese Yew...seems like good stuff - Rob

...and I think you're right Ed, but to my eyes at least the 'good enough, wrong way round dovetail' just looks wrong. Again, you're spot on about modern adhesives which are so incredibly powerful (in many materials, not just timber) it's something we take for granted, though it's been said by...

Nice tool box Ed and I dare say you're right, but answer this...why do we build traditional drawers with the tails on the side and not on the front? The answer(s) of course is that aesthetically (in my view at least) it looks right, it's a way of presenting a clean drawer face (if lapped d/t's...

If it's a Festool, I'd bite his arm off! :mrgreen: (hammer) :lol: :lol: - Rob

Having watched the 'D' day programme about Agent Tricycle (and others) last night, I thought you meant something else DW :shock: :lol: - Rob

I've just remembered that it was a Ron Howard film and his stuff is usually quite good...he failed miserably with this one though - Rob

Thus far looking good Rog :wink: - Rob

That skinny French woman and Tom Hanks in that idiot da Vinci film a couple of years ago...what was that all about? - Rob
