I've searched but still not sure exactly what this is. I bought a OF1010 back in November from Miles Tools and they chucked in some extras which I've only just received! But as a gesture of goodwill they've also thrown in the above. It says its a Side Stop - is it only for use with the hole...

Hi Steve Good to see you back! Yes has been a very interesting year to say the least! Please do pop in when you are next nearby. Hi Wizer Thanks for your very generous feedback! Not seen OSC - just looked it up - doh! Mine is build from a template that's I've modified using mainly CSS. Cheers Gidon

sparkymarky - yes please pop in when you're next nearby. Mark - good luck with the re-launch and thanks for the tips. John - email / phone us any time! Misterfish - thanks for the feedback - very encouraging to hear you find it easy to browse. I get frustrated with websites where delivery...

Thanks V - hopefully you'll be able to pay a visit as a drooling adult! Alan - really appreciate your comments - they make a lot of sense. Will see what I can do when I get a chance. Think you are right need something to make the products on the right stand out ... Thanks, Gidon

Thanks Andy. Yes will have frequent special offers - just as soon as I get all our products up! Cheers Gidon

Thank you all for your comments - they are really appreciated! Matty business is good thanks - still very early days and still discovering the most effective ways of advertising - a lot of money can be wasted! As the famous quote goes: "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the...

Sorry I've not been very active here. Been busy with the new venture. The shop's now been running almost 5 months (yikes) and I've just launched a full e-commerce website. It's pretty sparse at the moment - adding more products from the shop every day. But I would really appreciate forum...

Yes very useful tip - see earlier post! https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/domi ... 37467.html Cheers Gidon

Miles What year were you at Birmingham Uni? I studied Physics there too - 1991-1994! BB I've still got my maths books - in fact all my books. I'll try and dig them out if Miles doesn't before me. But I'd start looking at some A Level books to be honest if you've not done maths for that long...

Is XP patched to at least service pack 2? Start|run|type winver and then return. Also try the manufacturer's website for latest drivers or try using windows update to find the latest driver. Let me know if you need help with any of this. Cheers Gidon

Great thanks for all the suggestions. I'm a bit reluctant to drill too deep for frame fixings etc. The reason I was asking about drilling the resin / no nails is because I want to be able to take the sign down. I think I'll try the rawl plugs in no nails first. It's only a light frame - need to...

Thanks. Steve with the resin stuff - could I not let it set (in oversize holes) and then drill it for the rawl plugs as if it was dense solid brickwork? I need to be able to remove the sign. Studders guess same question - will the no nails set hard enough to do the same thing? Cheers Gidon

Hi all I spent a frustrating hour trying to attach an A1 sign to the outside of my shop. It's an old building and as I tightened the screws the rawl plugs were coming out with chunks of wall! It's not particuarly heavy - it's an A1 alu snap frame. I could put wooden battens up to attach the...

A method I've used (seen somewhere on the web) is to make a loop from some rope and hook it around the corners of the sheet and then use this as a carry handle - works pretty well. Cheers Gidon [EDIT - here's the method- although I don't botther with the hose and use thicker rope I have in the...

Mark I've found this table from Norton pretty useful generally: From: http://www.nortonstones.com/uploadedFil ... 202008.pdf Cheers Gidon

Thanks Simon Good question wish I'd kept a good record. I reckon a good four weeks! What would a pro charge (albeit better) to make that lot do you reckon then I can see if it was a worthwhile investment?! Wouldn't have the same satisfaction though ... Cheers Gidon

Thanks Chaps - Rob - sorry the Domino survived :lol:. Cheers Gidon (PS Did think of downgrading to XP - have one license unused thanks though Tom - but the POS I've tried runs fine on Vista. Blimey wish I'd changed the desktop background in the shot ;)!)

Correct wc! Chems - I won't be using the machine you see for anything apart from POS and some web browsing / ordering from suppliers!! I should say the door you see in the last pic goes through to another room the same size which is the stock room and where we'll be doing repairs etc :). Cheers...

Thanks Alf - you'll have to pop in when you're passing! Chems I like Windows 7 but not buying another license just to run some basic point of sales software! Cheers Gidon

Thanks Wizer! Cheers Gidon
