I was quite impressed, I'm hoping he might have a nice brass neck for sale at a decent price. Apologies to the OP for allowing your thread to veer off-topic. The vapour barrier should go on the warm side of your insulation.

Looking forward to you laying out your wares - should be there in a couple more posts. Give me 5 minutes I'm just off to make a brew, don't start without me!

Now that's funny, there was a weasel forum spammer on here just a couple of weeks back who started bleating about Netmums, small world isn't it? Come on what have you got to sell?

Maybe if you could find some kind of woodworking forum on which to sell some of your woodworking kit it might help fund your trip. :lol: 12 posts in 30 minutes - only 8 to go until you can sell :lol:

Mark, I really like the bookcase, it's got a nice touch of the Danish modern to it.

Top man! That's a fantastic effort for a great cause. The last statistic I heard was that 1 in 2 of us will develop a cancer in our life-time. For so many people Macmillan are a lifeline, for patients and family.

Apocalypse Now? - spoken by Colonel Curtz??? (the Marlon Brando character) If I'm right, my line is: "Suspicion breeds confidence. Be safe be suspicious." - I'm not sure it was spoken, or just written.

Sorry about that - Mwahahaha! :twisted:

Apparently it was his biographer, Evelyn Beatrice Hall who wrote: Learned this courtesy of the BBC R4's Now show in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo murders. Apparently Voltaire himself was a complete prick when it came to his trenchant views on sharpening techniques...

Re-animating an old thread, but I just saw an ad for some rather fine pencils in exotic woods, quite the bargain at £28 for a set of 4... Also available,edition no.3,

A nice video about making a concertina - using the treadle fretsaw looks like a doddle... certainly something most of us could pick up after 10 or 20 years of constant practice... You can buy his concertinas here, for what looks like a bargain price considering the number of steps.

Another +1 for getting rid of the propane heater - for each 1 kg of propane you burn you're producing 1.6kg (or 1.6 litres - nearly 3 pints) of water! Apologies to any chemistry professionals out there, but I doubt this has changed since my O levels! The combustion reaction for propane...

Here's a link to a guy who's made his own from a few pieces of scrap ply, he uses a guide bush slot rather than a fence, but the same simple principle.

If you're keen to do it with a handheld router you could try making (or buying!!!) one of these from Rockler. Let us know how you get on!

Does anybody know what the locking joint in this Youtube video is called? I've never seen anything quite like it.

The foil backing also serves as a vapour barrier.

bzzzt! wrong answer! If you were right we wouldn't feel the radiated heat from the sun.

Hi Wingy, I've got a Record 52 1/2 - it's a great vice, very substantial, good capacity and the quick release is superb. I understand that the more recent Irwin Record copies aren't so great, but I can't comment personally. I'm sure my Record (which is older than me) will also outlast me. I...

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the British Heart Foundation's video with Vinnie Jones - Hard & Fast Hands-only CPR - "and no kissing - you only kiss your missus on the lips" Seriously, it's worth doing a course with a good instructor - if only to understand what 2" chest compressions really...
