    What kind/brand of runners for a sliding box

    Too right! If done well(!) it will look good. Some people have no imagination! I'd make an L shaped box and mount the drawers in that. Keep your gaps consistent from the sink/legs (25mmish?)From there your choice of runners is better, Grass Dynamo would be my choice. Push to open would be a...

    Handed-ness of doors

    Front doors usually open in and there's normally a 'common sense' way for them the be hung. Stairs, cupboards, traffic flow, other doors usually determine what is most appropriate. As mentioned, in terraces, doors are often seen as pairs and that might also dictate the handedness of them. As...

    Crosscutting handsaw help required

    The type of saw is fine. Relax, loosen your grip and let the saw do the work. Consistent veering to the same side suggests that the set of the saw is out. Have you hit any metal with it? With hardened teeth it's hard to do anything about it but you could try running a hard sharpening stone down...

    When is "solid oak" not solid?

    I think that you need to take a step back and take a deep breath!! Total non issue, really. I'd suggest that instead of taking any more time thinking about this or writing letters of complaint, you should go and buy a homeless person a coffee, or visit an elderly neighbour or just something...

    SIP biscuit jointer?

    I have one as a second biscuit jointer. Not a great bit of kit but worth £20 if you don't have one. I find that you have to really lock down the fences and check everything is bang on square, then lock down the fences some more and it's fine if you are careful. Sent from my GT-N8010 using...

    Speakers /Sound System Recommendation

    I can recommend the Sonos system. Not sure of the play 1, we have a play 5 in the kitchen and a connect in the lounge and it works brilliantly especially if you have a spotify account. We can all control it remotely with our phones or laptops, which can lead to Sonos wars occasionally :-).

    Mobile speed Camera Vans

    How do you become one of these super drivers? Is it just by self designation, because I'm a better driver than all of you. If speed limits were changed to be more appropriate for the conditions etc (how would you legislate that?), as a super driver would I still be able to exceed the speed...

    Oak Dining Table

    It's very good, at least a C+ I would say :wink:

    ebay mistake / fiddle or reneging

    When you list an item on ebay, you put the Paypal account on the item and you can't change it. I know, because I made this mistake and used an old email address in the listing rather than the one I currently use for Paypal. The payment to me failed because of the old email address, so I had to...

    Google apps for businsss

    We use something similar - Livedrive, but I'm not sure of the exact comparison. It works really well, we create and store files on the local drive and it backs up to the "Livedrive" and is then available for use on other computers. Our internet connection hasn't gone down and caused an...

    Wood for windows

    Idigbo has decent properties for windows but it has a couple of issues that you should be aware of. First, it's very soft and marks easily. Secondly, its very light. probably lighter than redwood and it doesn't "feel" like hardwood as you would expect. I personally avoid using it if I can...

    Clifton plane sale!

    Any reason that Clifton would divulge such sensitive information if it were true? I'm sure if they were moving production they wouldn't just let anyone know until they absolutely had to.

    Maybe I won't be buying mortice chisels...

    When I was at college, all the mortise chisels had rounded bevels. I haven't used one since though. We were also taught that method for chopping mortises, except we left a bit at each end to lever against if necessary which was cleaned out as the last part of the process.

    Is this legal?

    I've had this before in houses that we've renovated. Constant threatening letters, to the point of bullying. I refused to phone them on a point of principal that I didn't have to prove that I was innocent. Having read this thread, I realise what a plank I must have looked to everyone that I...

    Coming to a TV set near you

    You accuse the government of using a "broad brush" then use a phrase like "chav estate". That's why you have no credibility. As for having a "mole" on the inside, well at least that made me laugh!

    Sorry Bugbear, you are going to have to read it slower than that to understand it the way that Roger does.

    Coming to a TV set near you

    I had a quick scan, but didn't spot it. I searched for the 40,000 figure and it says "the Government have put aside a budget to address that problem"

    Of course it does, you can't just quote absolute numbers without reference - they don't mean anything.
