An impressive memorial project done with flair. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-25643103

Wow - 5'10", now that's a tall bench :lol: . Moving along, a comfortable working height is correct, but difficult to define with so many personal and working style variables. I made mine the same height as my bandsaw table and I'm happy with that*. You can always adjust it by trimming or adding...

I had a bit of the same bother in a place I lived a few years back from the neighbour across the road. I've no idea what power the light was, but I could actually (just) read by it. I'd mentioned it to him very politely a couple of times, and nothing changed. I finally got the hump with him when...

That's great, thanks for checking. I think, I'll take a punt on it - it's not like I'm short of stuff to fill it with if the pipe benders won't go. Kev

Well that doesn’t sound all bad, you may not have a pot to piss in for the moment, but at least they let you have a stool to work on.

Hmm, hard to make a joke about just going through the motions fit into that...

Iain, If you're not drilling too fast you can make a moderately accurate depth stop by just drilling through a sacrificial block of wood and leaving it on the bit with only 15mm exposed. If you're only drilling close to the edge the benefit of the portable drill press (aside from cost and space...

Okay one recommendation for what not to buy: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wolfcraft-45210 ... _sbs_diy_9 Absolute junk with no redeeming virtues, went straight back to Amazon the same day, truly horrible. How far from the edge of the board do you need to drill? You can use this sort of stand/press...

My breakthrough with a Record #50 was when I realised I'd been using it backwards. Well, not quite backwards, but rather than working the board from right to left as I'd do with any normal plane, I should start on the left hand exit of the cut and move right refining the cut as I move along the...

Looking at some of the earlier posts they appear to be talking about storing the paint tins inverted. I was taught to invert the tin (after ensuring the lid is well sealed - not a mistake you'll make twice...), swirl it round briefly, and then store upright. The idea being that the film of...

Dispensing irresponsible advice doesn't suit you MMUK :roll: Of course, if you have relevant qualifications/certification in this field I'd be pleased to hear your response. Show me one source from a reputable UK paint producer that says it's acceptable to dispose of paint via the...

Yeah, that should be fine. Another top tip, if you've got a fridge or mattress you no longer need just leave it in a lay-by or hedgreow.

Stanley 1-93-935 Waterproof Toolbox 28in http://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/3253 ... 2093%20935 Does anybody have one that they can give me some rough internal dimensions from? I'm trying to find a home for my pipe bender (Hilmor?) and other plumbing tools that get used at least every other...

You're absolutely right, the buyer should take a while to think about whether he really needs it. Buy in haste repent at leisure - that's the trouble today, too many people rushing around with their wallets open wanting to buy the latest gizmo from Disston... :wink:

Fascinating - that explains why he looked so comfortable raising a barn in Witness

First class video - thanks for sharing.

I suppose I should have chosen the single most important thing - training. I've been lucky enough to receive training courses, on my own time and through various employment. I've been unlucky enough to have to use it, I can't tell you how good it feels to help keep a friend alive long enough...

A few items I'd add to a standard kit: 3M nexus plasters - work really well and you don't know you're wearing them Micropore tape Eyewash kit Israeli field dressing with pressure bar - easy to apply and the pressure bar keeps working after you slide into unconsciousness... Cling film - useful...

Keep banging the rocks together!

=D> Can I be a nerd at your age? I'll get back to you on that one... :wink:
