Wizer good idea on the glass ... It will have flashy things on this counter - don't worry! Wobblycogs - the shop will be selling computers but also other other tech - our remit is anything that plugs in a computer. Focussing on cameras, camcorders, music/vid players, printers etc. We'll be...

I'm scrapping solid wood and going for Walnut veneered MDF. Just too expensive and time consuming to use solid wood and at least the wood will be locally sourced (:)) if not from locally cut down trees! Any further comments on the shop counter design (in the Walnut) before I order the wood? May...

Thanks Chris! Cheers Gidon

Ok thanks Dave - good to know. Cheers Gidon

Sorry Dave - that pic wasn't showing up when I posted. Nice - may have a play around that idea although not sure it doesn't look a bit like a reception desk rather than a shop counter? As an aside - when you do something like that in Sketchup - do you still make each individual component and...

In IE - Tools | Internet Options | Connections | LAN settings Then untick all boxes ... Cheers Gidon

Roger You haven't got a web proxy configured in IE6 by any chance? If you can ping an external website then you must have an IP address and DNS is working. Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling the browser or installing another browser? Cheers Gidon

Wizer - yes could use glass as worktop - will see how it looks. Not sure what you mean about having the till covered - it needs to open? I'm not against using man made veneered boards - definitely for the bottom and shelves - but would like a fair bit of solid wood too. Dave - no don't need...

Thanks Wizer - I have an interim website up but after the shop opens will be getting full e-commerce site up. Jason - have a look at Google but not a huge variation - still got some ideas including the variation below so thanks. OK thanks Rob. Had a quick play with Sketchup - whaddya reckon...

Thanks for the replies. So the cash register is dropped down 15cm to the counter top? It's for a modern technology shop (think Apple store kind of feel) selling computers, cameras, camcorders, accessories etc. I was thinking some of the items like memory cards etc under a glass top but not so...

I want to build a shop counter. Are there any design rules I should adhere to? They seem to be 900mm high and have plinths but not sure why the plinth is needed. I want it freestanding. I want it to be made from local wood. I need the design and joinery to be simple - possibly knock-down. It...

Chris Cogged joint? Never heard of that - what is it? Cheers Gidon

I think it's shocking that smaller companies like Wealden are having to make a loss by subsidising delivery charges because of the mail strike - really irritates me. Cheers Gidon

Nice video Martin ;). You do need to use a lot of pressure - watch some of the Jeff Farris videos too - there's even a Norm show I've seen where Norm builds a sharpening stand for a Tormek with JF's help - it has a pull out step to gain height to obtain greater pressure! Cheers Gidon

Good glad it's sorted! Cheers Gidon

I'm sure others will come along with better advice, but if you're drilling into the lintel - an SDS hammer drill will be more effective. If you don't have one perhaps start off with a smaller hole and move up to the required size? Or gripfill a wooden batten and attach the rails to that ;)...

Are there any settings for the virtual machine (vm fusion settings)? Parallels installs a Apple keyboard which does a good mapping - imagine something similar in Fusion. Have you installed the virtual machine additions? Just guesses since haven't got Fusion installed - only Parallels. Cheers Gidon

Sorry - a bit late back to this - but I wasn't suggesting the black stone would effect the squareness - only that it would make the cut less aggressive - and you want the the fastest cut possible. Cheers Gidon

Good - let us know what it's like. Cheers Gidon

Roger - you can choose a local number or a non-geographic number - eg 0845 / 0333. If you go to "sign up now" - you can see what numbers are available - before entering any details. Nice thing about VoIP is there are lots of additional features that you may or may not need - for one you can use...
