I don't have any floor boards, all the floors are solid concrete. All the walls are brick inside and out.

I have been in my new home for 3 months now and from day one I have had a problem with woodlice and other bugs. The second day I woke up and went into the kitchen there must have been 50 woodlice all over the floor. Not a day has gone past that I don't get any coming in. Yesterday I went to the...

I know a couple of members who have not been on here for at least a year now. I know one of them got a bit frustrated and decided to leave and at the time the only question that seemed to keep coming up on a daily basis was, what saw should I buy or is this cheap Chiwanese saw any good. At the...

I had that Indian guy call me several times over the space of a year, said he was from microsoft and said there was a major problem with my computer. I knew it was a con straight away. I asked him what system I was running and he said windows 7. I have an apple iMac.

I made a load of portraits about the same size you have made. I took them to several craft fairs and priced them at £19-95, bearing in mind the frames cost a fiver each. I never sold one and ended up giving them to friends and family. In your shoes I would stick to conventional stuff that are...

Brilliant film. A master at work.

I have a problem with my google mail on my iMac. I have a Samsung Galaxy phone which I keep in the kitchen to get the best signal and the iMac is in the front room. I first get my e-mails on the phone for some reason and it can be three days later before they appear on my iMac but sometimes they...

I used Niqua reverse blades for years and never really had a problem with them, except one, they were slow. I mainly cut 3/4inch hardwoods. I switched to Mikes ultra reverse blades about 3 years ago and the main difference for me was that they cut a lot quicker, the lovely smooth finish on the...

My son has recently moved into a newly built house. Taylor woodrow turfed the back garden but it is quite boggy and unsuitable for the children to play on it. I am completely in the dark as to how to remedy the situation. There is a slight slope to the garden with feather edge fencing all round...

I would just like to go over a point that was mentioned some time ago and this is aimed at the beginner who is thinking of buying their first scroll saw. It's a sad fact that all the British manufacturers are no longer with us, that's not strictly true, there are still one or two but they no...

Keep looking on e-bay, one will come up at some point.

When you see the AWFS18 first thoughts are that it is firstly a bargain when compared to the real thing, you read the spec and realise to get the equivalent Hegner you would need to spend three times the money, ot there a bouts. If you were to buy yhis machine from Axy then make sure you wear...

The excalibur that is available in America is not the same as the ones available here in the Uk. The Uk versions are rubbish whereas the ones in America are a decent saw. There are several saws available in America that I would rate very highly but sadly here in the UK there is only one decent...

It is the most asked question on the forum, what scroll saw should I get. There are a lot of bad scroll saws out there and a few good ones. It;s down to what you can afford. If you go for one of the cheap imported ones from the far east your scrolling experience will be filled with frustrations...

Really nice for your first project. As you said, having the best blades certainly makes a big difference. I can imagine how you feel now you have your first project under your belt, you are all fired up and ready for the next one, maybe something a little more intricate. Don't be afraid to go...

As Bodgerbaz has said, Martin has said it all. I have the variable speed model and I bought this for several reasons. I took into account that when I bought my Hegner I would probably have it for the rest of my life with no need to upgrade and I am happy that for me it was the right choice. For...

I have had similar problems in the past and with all my paint jobs I use spray paint, so much easier than a brush. If you want a shiny finish then use spray on lacquer. I find the way to a professional finsish is little and often, better to give six thin coats trather than one thick one.

I'm with Chris, been using the method for years, quick, easy and simple and above all cheap,

Stunning if I were to sum it up in one word. Another labour of love that is very attractive and will certainly catch the eye of any visitor.

I don't think we will ever get the price an item deserves. If I worked out a price for my items based on £10 an hour I would not sell a thing. Its always difficult pricing things because most of the people we are selling to have no idea what's involved and we all know that if we go to high we...
