You are correct but the OP is already marketing ordinary chipboard as suitable for flooring : http://woodsheets.co.uk/products.aspx [-X [-X [-X Cheers Tim

The clue will be in his website link. Frankly selling on seconds unspecified chipboard as suitable for flooring is not smart in my opinion. Maybe someone will save a few quid but they'll regret that when they come through the bedroom ceiling.... Cheers Tim

No bubble to bust there - thats a good deal! =D> =D> I agree with you re staff helpfulness although I've not been there in person, only dealt with them on the phone. Cheers Tim

Those are pretty steep prices! Cheers Tim

I have been in a position with them where something went wrong - I can't remember whether it was a failed delivery or the wrong thing. All I can tell you is that the problem was resolved in one easy phone call and the replacement/ right part arrived in the next post. 9 from me! Cheers Tim

As a pro maker, my only comment would be that the only mistakes he made were his own and he wasn't realistic about his objectives. Its business - sometimes its pleasure too. Making stuff for friends and family gives a different sense of pleasure - confuse the two at your peril. Cheers Tim

Waka Excellent work and looks really smart. If its any consolation, you do get used to moving the big stuff about! My only concern would be airflow for the computer etc. Its amazing how hot these things get and also how reduced their performance is when they get hot. Apart from looking good...

Well done Rob. Thanks to all the organisers, prize givers, competitors and of course voters - judges and members. I'm sorry I didn't take any WIP photos - the problem is doing it all against the clock (didn't get judged on that :wink: ). Its a shame that there weren't more entries - maybe...

That's great - d'you mean fix a cord/ chain to somewhere on the hinge point and then above the outer edge of the gate so that it automatically lifts the lower portion as the gate swings? Cheers Tim - who is very bored doing his y/e accounts!

If it works - its a bloody good idea. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't although the 'off' side ie away from the hinge may also need guiding otherwise there may be too much torsion around the hinge point as the jockey wheel drags. Cheers Tim

Paul Does it have to be 3" thick? I'm assuming you are going to be painting it? Why not glue it up out of two or three boards - I think you'll find it will be a lot more readily available and much cheaper. Cheers Tim

Paul - I think you are confused re pricing. Cubic foot is a volume figure. A cubic foot of 1" timber is the same volume as a cubic foot of 3" timber. There is sometimes a price increase for thicker timber ie a cubic foot of 1" stuff will probably be about 90% of the price of a cubic foot of...

Yes it is 3 cubic feet and no the price isn't fair - its frankly ridiculous. That equates to £57 + vat per cube. Shouldl be closer to £18. What may drive the price up is the dimensions of the plank. Do yo really need only one plank Will be better and cheaper to buy narrower, shorter and...

Can't be flotsam and jetsam. Jetsam is stuff purposely thrown away and flotsam is accidental.....

Thanks for the answers - the slow down is very interesting and I know what you mean. How long does the Festool take to stop? Cheers Tim

What do you find that the Metabo doesn't do that the Festool does much better? I probably do a similar amount of sanding to you and I had been put off by the vibration on the Festool when I tried a demo. Cheers Tim

Thats what I would say - although I do think that the CT33 with the boom arm is also fab. I think that the Bosch 135 is a better jigsaw (although I usually put Festool blades in it ) and I am also a big fan of the Metabo Duo sanders - which for the price means that you can have two loaded with...

My shop is timber framed with kingspan seconds in the voids. I didn't make any special insulation provision around the stove - it stands n a concrete flag and is is about 400mm from the plasterboard wall. I did put another piece of p'board there which I wrapped in foil - more to protect the...

Streepips I'm sure you are right about the colder exhaust sinking on non insulated flues but the flue is also designed to be a heat source in itself. I have been using my Hotspot for three years now - lit almost every day from end of Oct to March with no probs with a standard galv flue...

If you post a photo of the profile that would be helpful. It may be very simple to make it up using a square edge plank and then add bought mouldings on top. Cheers Tim
