Brian, Exactly! I could elaborate, but I am tired of being called an idiot by nutritionists. I'll just say that what I am doing is resulting in steady weight loss. It's slow, but it is working; and I don't have to knock myself out indulging in physical jerks. Cheers John

When I was diagnosed, the diabetes nurse told me that my readings had not changed in three years, and that 12 months before I had not been considered as a diabetic. Just makes me wonder if the drug companies are working with the NHS to get ever more people onto the drugs they prescribe. I...

Oh Brother! This has definitely made me decide to stay with my low carb diet. MUST lose this weight. Best wishes Phil.

Even "Peter Mann"? Well said Pete. Cheers John

Novo. I use MDF or shuttering ply for shelves (In a garage or shed). Nothing wrong with either, providing shelf supports are close enough together. You can always pretty them a bit, by routing a bull-nose along them; give them some dark stain, if you want to hide what they're made from. HTH...

Esto; Who wood'a known there were no 'joints' in these examples if you hadn'ta said so? It's the same if you make a piece of furniture with a Kreg Jig. It will look good, and last as long as you want it to. How it's put together is irrelevant, from that point of view. If you want to woodwork...

Yes Steve. I have. I thought I might make a duck board from pressure treated stuff, and keep it outside by the back gate! Just next to the workshop door. Or maybe get the shed finished and put the MFT in there, where there would be more room. Now that's an :idea: :mrgreen:

Thanks to all for the information. I was interested in a 'display' model that had been used in a showroom, but I find it's gone so I'll have to save a bit more for a 'new' model! Just my luck, as the difference in price was about 45%... I am looking at how much space I'll get if I dismantle the...

Gary... No thread. The shed has been left in an unfinished state for over nine months now. My wife became ill with Parkinson's, and I have been pretty busy caring. I am at present having some respite, as she is in hospital. So I am getting to grips with the shop to take my mind off the...

Darn it Selector... Now I have an 'ear-worm' to contend with all day! I'll just go and put on a Glen Miller CD; hopefully that will work it out! Thanks a bunch! :lol: John

All Hail and be welcome... Let the bug bite deep! John

Hi folks: A quick check. Does anyone have any 'Pros & Cons' on the Charnwood, 10" table saw. I think I can fit one in if I take off the cross-cut slide, which I probably wouldn't use, having a track saw. The MFT will be gong into my new shed. (When it's finished. :mrgreen: ) Cheers and...

There's no argument then! :) Best of luck Ian. John

Not always the fault of the Police Rafe. It's all down to their powers, and what they can or can't do, legally. Not sure if there is power of seizure in the UK for that offence. There should be. I agree, if the Police were allowed to do their job without progressives worrying about 'freedom' we...

Ian, Seems a lot of trouble for little gain. Will the books fit flat on the shelves, with the spines outwards? Nothing wrong in that, unless they are rare books. If so, as you are a woodworker, make a 'book box', as a partner to your bookcase? Is that tempting? Cheers,

Only if you pay me Lurker! :wink:

I am not allowed to drink alcohol Greg. And even if I could resist, and stay on soda-water, some clever dick would probably try to spike my drink! :roll: Well maybe not, but staying out of the place isn't a bad idea at all. My hiatus from the local is necessary, as I am caring for my wife...

:oops: Guess¿ :oops: :mrgreen: :lol: We won today. (hammer)

Realising there will be some prizewits ready to pounce: :mrgreen: How can I watch live Championship football on TV. (My TV can't access the internet; so which package do I need please?) Thanks in Anticipation. Cheers John

I stick a part worn blade on my bandsaw to cut tufnol. It smells as it's hide glue that is used in the laminating. The dust is extremely fine so wear the usual breathing protection. It also machines easily with HSS mills. I don't reckon it to be soft. The genuine article is very hard, even...
