    Mobile Speed Cameras......Again

    It's hard to know where to start with a rebuttal, and as previous experience has demonstrated that you're impervious to reasoned debate I shan't waste anybody's time further - other than to observe how ironic it is that you, while claiming to want a polite debate, start it off with an unveiled...

    Recommend some braked wheels for my bench?

    I'm looking at making my bench mobile (That way I'll be able to make it my own little mobile home when my wife finally loses patience with me!). I'd guess the bench and associated gubbins is somewhere around the 100-150kg mark, the floor is a relatively smooth concrete garage floor, but may soon...

    Cutting sheet materials

    A bit late to the party, but have you seen the Pro-Grip stuff from fine-tools: http://www.fine-tools.com/klemm.htm There's maybe some cheaper options out there but this looks like quite an easy way to do it for ~€50. I can't vouch for it personally, just looking for something else and...

    A weekend project?

    Thanks for posting - I've put my name down for a pair, one for my superyacht the other for the games room in my subterranean lair... Fantastic engineering. http://fletchertables.com/

    Opinions?

    Is it still the case that retirees to certain countries get their UK pension paid index linked whereas others have it frozen at the date of their emigration?

    A neat idea for your old tools...

    I'm sold, you had me at Farrow and Ball "jack russell cold left foot" Blue.- I take it the pound coin is included in the auction? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS7V3yPe ... e=youtu.be

    I THINK IT IS A SCAM

    I read somewhere recently that using phrases with spaces is more difficult to crack than complex passwords. e.g. "I am Kev's password for UKWorkshop", is tougher than "!@m@P@55w)rd" Unfortunately many sites restrict the nature of passwords you use which is where the unique complex passwords...

    A neat idea for your old tools...

    Stone me! I've just read the description. So, they've taken some old saws, made them non-functional, added a piece of timber - and made a non-functional shelf, the world just got a tiny bit less wonderful. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but it's not even decorative, you can't see...

    A neat idea for your old tools...

    The great irony of Duchamp's 'readymade' fountain is that those on display today rely on reproductions for the centrepiece - somebody taking the p? Maybe if you bought Mick's original, destroyed it and then made a reproduction, it could,,, oh never mind...

    Pillar Drill or Drill Stand

    Well, if the OP has cracked it I'd certainly be interested in a reliable supplier of precision holes. The nice thing is that a selection pack needn't take up too much room because you could stack the smaller holes inside the larger holes.

    Most useless tool/accessory

    Wall chaser attachment for a power drill - I was give one of these by a former neighbour when he was clearing his shed out, I re-gifted it to landfill shortly after - maybe I just had the wrong type of walls? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wolfcraft-35100 ... _sbs_diy_1 It clamps onto a standard...

    I wish I was this eloquent!

    I did start to think I should be checking for the hidden camera - it was almost too perfect.

    Pillar Drill or Drill Stand

    The following test from 2008 gives the Brueder Mannesmann M 1255-420 an OK for €15 - make of that what you will. http://www.selbst.de/pdf/bohrstaender08.pdf it's in German, but with a bit of copy & paste action at http://translate.google.com you might be able to pick the bones out of it.
