Thanks for finding out Neil. Its funny though that now I know, I actually disagree. True the application of a round over bit after assembly is rarely done on mass production but I personally think that crisp joins or unusual angles are much 'finer'. So often I see the result of a...

Simon Think there must have been a post overlap. I do agree with you about the compromise factor. Trouble is I don't want two vehicles - car and van and if I did have a car, given where we live (the muddiest place in the world) and the fact that we have two big dogs, the most obvious...

Chris is suggesting this: and Philly is suggesting this: Mmmmmmm, now let me think....... :-k Cheers Tim

I knew Chris would stir it! The reason I don't want a van is that probably 90% of the time its main job will be a people and dog transporter. I don't fancy the dogs skating around in the back of a Transit (and I imagine they don't either). I basically want a decent vehicle to drive around in...

Philly The Navarra brochures arrived this morning. The Aventura clearly is the one to have. When d'you get it? Cheers Tim

Mike, I have one of these and had a similar problem recently. I did clean the rollers but I also took the cover off on the 'back' side and cleaned in there with an airhose. I also tightened up a couple of things and lubricated something - what, I can't remember, but it was in the manual. I...

My current car is probably not going to have much trade in value in another year so I'm thinking about replacements. I have a Freelander now, because I used to have it as a company car which I then bought at a very favourable deal. Having done some research, the most sensible option for me...

The other thing I have seen done (and done with some success myself) is to use a steam gun/ wallpaper stripper. It works a treat on green oak and at worst seems to even the discolouration on seasoned oak. Just give it a blast for a minute or so and you should see a positive change. I was...

Tony Very nice - well done. Applied by roller?:wink: Cheers Tim

SP - not sure they do. I reckon they are now genuinely out of stock. They aren't in the new catalogue and I reckon that they were promotional stock from Bosch that they had in warehousing. Cheaper for them to get rid of them quickly than to allocate warehouse and catalogue space and then have...

Tony, I use these: http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=102099&ts=83765&id=17048 they are small enough to keep 'wet' in a small, lidded jar which keeps mess down. Cheers Tim

Tony, I'm with Philly on this. The advantage for me is speed esp for inside carcases - I can lay the panels flat on the bench and spray, pad or roll on a finish without having to do any internal corners or twist into awkward positions. Cheers Tim

I will do. Mine's bigger than yours :roll: so I had to order the 12" blades. As you say - it does look like an accounting error. Obviously cost me more because I had to round up some add ons for free postage! Cheers Tim

Nice one Woody. Order placed :D Cheers Tim

Mike Every time I tell them about a missed delivery they are as nice as pie and put a copy into the post as airmail. They also used a carrier for two issues mid last year for me (unprompted). I have no gripe with their customer complaint/ missed delivery service - just amazes me that they...

Dave Thats what I thought (and so did Chris) but for some reason it doesn't seem to work for me if the second leg is outside the protractor. In fact, when experimenting with several different predrawn angles, it seems a hit and miss affair. Constructing a line to a specific angle is no...

Thanks to Chris (waterhead37) I now know what I was doing wrong. It doesn't matter where you set the base angle ie inside or outside the protractor circle but to read the angle, the closing point must be inside the protractor circle or it reads as zero. Cheers Tim

I'm trying to measure a couple of angles in a sketchup drawing that I've made. Every time I set the protractor though, it shows the angle size until I get to the second line and then shows zero again. ie I set the protractor in the correct plane, fix the first point on one of the lines of the...

I've got the ally topped version of this saw and have the sliding table and side extension. The saw butts up to a large assembly table which doubles as an outfeed. If you can get them to do you a decent price then I would opt for the 2m sliding carriage rather than the 1.4 so that you can...

Looking good - and looking forward to seeing the finished article. Re planer marks - I don't think you should be getting such prononounced roller marks - I rarely have to do anything to timber off my EB pretty basic PT and I know (now) that the finish on this isn't as good as some others...
