Howdy everyone [it's been a while!]. I have looked in now and again, but woodworking opportunities have been few and far between. Three questions really..... I need to make some custom sized, built in wardrobes and drawers, and an office space in our new loft extension. I plan to make them...

Hello chaps, long time no visit. As ever, I'm hoping to pick your brains. I've joining a lot of 2" square timber, using pocket hole screws and need to replenish my stocks. Any ideas who the best supplier is? I know I can use "normal" screws but never find them quite so good as the proper ones...

Expect to wake up with a stomach full of blood. "Nurse" I shouted "I'm feeling sick".........."very sick"............"err really sick"........... "err can you bring some new sheets".......... I had them out as an adult and can say: In the long run - fantastic, what a difference, a real...

Actually, its quite a good spot. Besides, when you've left the "secure" car-park on the bus - where do you think they drive it out to and park it up for the week? You may think I'm joking, I used to work on an industrial unit on a local farm, and they would employ these 17 year kids to drive...

I'm aiming to make it, with mini-me in tow, so plan to get there for Sat 10, and leave sometime after lunch 1pm, as I think thats as much as she will stand as toddlers and woodwork shows don't really mix, and she needs a sleep after lunch so perfect time for the journey home. Adam

Just watch out, beeswax should not be heated directly, but via a "water jacket" ("a bain marie"). I think its all be covered really. Retail price for blocks that size is typically £1. Adam

Bad news is that Oil Seed **** is increasing - and even more will be required for "bio-fuels". Cherries are floweing round here, and the catkins are on the willows. As a beekeeper I would say the spring "flow" has just started (a nectar flow) after the suppressed temperatures and rain recently...

Ker-ching. You'd like to pay for formal calculations sir? Certainly, just see on our price list here......... :? Adam

With Direct Line. I also queried it many times and got a statement added that I had "professional" tools, but they were for domestic use only. I didn't want to quibble with a loss adjuster about the "quality" of the tools I use. Adam

I'd agree the price of a "build-your-own" can be in the £3000+ region esp when you starting adding high quality insulation. In your link, its unclear to be if the roof is insulated and I suspect not - A) as its doesn't look like it is and B) it seems to be a significant extra cost. In...

My bugbear, is having paid for a reclining chair when some numpty behind starts tutting when you use it. :lol: If you want more space, spend the £££ and buy an upgrade. If not (or you can't afford it like me), live with the rest of world and accept that the reclining chair is provided for the...

I'll have a play around with it - it looks interesting. Thankyou. Adam

Someone pays. I work (although not in that division) for a company that develops this technology. It's not cheap to install, build, develop, run, and it needs satellites. People don't bat an eyelid when people talk in trains anymore, or cross channel ferries (which have a surprisngly good...

I need to knock up a website - for my beekeeping club. It's mostly a "how to join", "whats involved", "whats on" type thing so no amazingly advanced content needed. I did lots on HTML about 5 years ago - but everything has moved on. I can program, if push comes to shove with some historical...

I think what will put people off is the price. A good incentive to keep people to short calls. Adam

I'm sorry about your friend. I'm sure there must be someone local that could take over as your mentor. How about your local club? Ours has a teaching apiary with courses for all levels. The superstition is quite well known

Tony, I make the wood over length, then drill and countersink it - and screw it to the bench. Ensure the screwheads are deep enough - I managed to scratch the bottom of the plane on one occasion - it does, however, work tremendously well. Adam

Ask Waterhead - or check his chair making writeup on his website - I believe he goes into some detail. Adam

I only thought it was inaccessable as it looked like you could hop (OK, haul yourself over) the fence from several surrounding gardens. Adam
