Mark, You really should have brought this to our attention sooner, you're in a supportive environment and there's no need to be ashamed of it. If people had known you had the intellectual capacity of a monkey I'm sure they'd have framed the argument in terms you could more easily understand. :lol:

Agreed, I think there are also 'tribal' considerations at play: The shiny new tribe, the proudly vintage tribe, the freehand tribe, the jig for everything tribe. Keeping all the tribes happy all of the time is clearly a big ask for an editor, just scanning these forums for 5 minutes makes it...

Advertise for 'help wanted - no experience required' the world is full of thrill seekers!

What I want to know is how they all get in that little tube...

I was impressed! I'm not sure how my neighbours would react if I gave it a go, but I guess there's one way to find out... Chapter 2: wherein our hero has an unexpected meeting with a tactical firearms unit.

And another way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVLNoYkuC4s

Alex, Glad you were able to sort it out and I hope you enjoy it - personally I think it's worth the punt for a fiver. At the risk of bringing a can full of whoop-ass down about my ears, here's the link: http://ccstandard.securewebservices.co. ... index.html I think your point regarding...

Got it - thanks.

At the risk of sounding like I'm plugging a commercial product, I understand there are restrictions on this, can I suggest you put "British Woodworking £5 Trial" into Google, £5 for 3 issues is cheaper than driving into town and finding somewhere to park. Disclaimer: I have no relationship...

Jacob, I'm not quite clear what you mean here, but I do occasionally have some trouble with mine. Do you mean making a small hollow in the blade for the cap screw to engage in? Cheers, Kev

Agreed, a lot of them are on horribly tight schedules. Some of the drivers are effectively self-employed and using their own vehicle being paid a pittance per delivery. Where I live I think it's a mixed blessing, we're a few miles out of town, easy to find and easy to park but further between...

A lot of it does come down to the last link in the chain - much like the spotty yoof that slings my bananas the last 3 foot into the rack at Sainsbury's, careful climate controlled handling all the way from the Caribbean and then utter disregard for the final 0.001% of their journey. I had a DHL...

I'm afraid I'm one of the phantom watchers; at any one time I'll have watches on a dozen or more items. Sometimes I do it to gauge a likely price for something before I go to sell to make sure it's worthwhile, sometimes it's to establish a price range for something I'm looking to buy, sometimes...

I don't know Macs (but I'm not going to let that stop me giving my opinion!). Is it exactly the same sound each time? If so, it sounds like one of your standard system sounds has been set to play a sound clip, just a thought. Back in the days before proper IT security policies we used to replace...

Steve, I think you summed it up very nicely - I look forward to some good articles, edited or otherwise! Kev

I've used oxalic acid for cleaning up a vice that was rusted solid, when I took it out of the solution after a week the hardwood cheeks were fine. Some chemistry wonk can doubtless steer you straight. Oxalic acid is used as wood bleach, but I guess it all depends on solution strength and the...

Clear as mud from that lot!

Absolutely spot on, its TNT's fault but Axminster 's problem. TNT won't care about a bit of grumbling, it's all part of the cost of doing business, Axminster and other companies do care because we represent their market. My wife recently grumbled online about a particular company, the next...

Baldhead, That's rubbish - they've bumped you down the list for their own operational benefit. Have you complained to the vendor, they might care more than TNT? It might not make you feel any better, but companies generally don't change their behaviour unless there's a risk of financial or...

Baldhead, I'm afraid you're probably right that Ebay will do nothing, but that doesn't mean we need to tolerate him here. Public shaming, accompanied by assorted light beatings, was the way communities dealt with reprobates in the not so dim and distant. Kev
