:lol: I didn't say which of them applied, and not necessarily all at the same time ! :lol:

Hmmm, so far on this thread we have had people insulting cyclists, bmw drivers, accountants, SUV drivers, which probably covers a significant proportion of the forum membership I would guess ! Some of us might fit in several of those categories at once ! :lol:

Clever stuff, liking those :)

Like those a lot Chas, lovely design and nice choice of woods too.

I have the same one as in the link and it seems well made and reliable, very effective tool on metal and wood, all sorts of uses.

I believe you should keep all the supporting records too Chas.

I don't really get this right or wrong, fair or unfair, thing to be honest. They are businesses and will charge what they can get away with, same as any other business. If I didn't want to pay it I'd try and negotiate and/or go somewhere else, but I don't begrudge them trying to charge what...

Fair point :)

I would have thought that a prescription charge covers the years of training and experience the vet has had in order to diagnose the animal and know what to prescribe, not to mention their time and practice costs ? They're a business after all, not a charity ! :) Having said that, we do get...

Looks well organised John :)

I don't travel by air that much these days thankfully, after many years of regular travel to and from mainland Europe and further afield, but when I do I have to allow an extra ten minutes or so to get through security as my metal resurfaced hip always sets off the xray alarms. Even though you...

The latter, although maybe an inconsequential amount of the former in the process I guess.

I use a card scraper, edge of a steel ruler or similar to scrape off old compound and metal deposits, then refresh with new compound, only takes a few minutes now and again.

Nice piece of timber Mark 8) Should make a fine chopping board. If it does split or cup then just run it through a table saw or circular saw, true up the edges and glue and clamp back together and no one will know :) Cheers, Paul

I would favour one of these http://www.my-tool-shed.co.uk/p10116/DM ... AgQw8P8HAQ Not the cheapest, but the covers fold back and act as handles which makes all the difference in how easy and accurate they are to use not to mention safety too of course. The red/green one shown is fine/extra...

Also thinking laterally, I would be tempted to take the sharpening medium to the slick as it is large in size and a difficult shape eg wet and dry paper on a handheld hone, DMT diafold handheld diamond sharpener etc, these are the kind of thing I and others use on larger knives, axes etc...

Is the Burgess one of the small three wheeled machines ? They are notorious for breaking blades as they have to cope with such tight turns.

Length of time doesn't really mean much though Dennis, it might only have been used once or twice in your 1.5 years for all we know ! :) I'm another very satisfied long term Tuffsaws customer, having tried other makes now and again and found them noticably sub-par by comparison.

What tooth count were the blades and what material being cut ?

I've found that it does on lathe tools, lathe bed, bandsaw table etc, although that was green sweet chestnut which has similarly high levels of tannin.
