I would use the standard bolts. Use loose (none glued) biscuits to line up the top surfaces. I think any glue would eventually fail. Welcome to the forum. I used to stay at (live) in shore st in Thurso .

That period coincided with our kids arriving. No maternity payments in those days, my wife was on the dole for two years, it was worth very little as I had a salary. The wife, as a nurse had a job to go back to once the kids were older : weekends and nights, so I could look after them. For most...

I bought a house for £25k my salary was just under £3k just sold it for £250k And.... back then woman of child bearing age could only borrow one third of her salary. two and a half times mine and a third of the wife’s was the absolute maximum.

Excluding the south east, the ratio of house prices to average salary are very similar now as they were when I bought my house 40 years ago. Both my (early 30s) sons have their own home. One has a house bigger and better than I have ever owned. The other has already paid off 50% of his...

Why get worked up about a country far away ? They have never been concerned about us except to take advantage. Sorry DW obviously not aimed at you.

Carrington event

Well it's another country ,so for most of us it's none of our business to comment one way or the other. Our Home Secretary poked her oar in today We have enough problems of our own, she wants to get slavery stamped out in the uk. That is a damn disgrace and entirely within her remit.

Not at all surprised

I used to do this for a living. It's far more complex than you can imagine and the cost of the kit and wherewithal, to interpret the results is way beyond your pockets. However, when I tested for clients I pretty much knew a pass or fail by simply observing any dust on a horizontal surface at...

That’s going to cost you thirty some odd quid, which to my mind is the going rate. It looks fine to me, at worst you will need to fettle it slightly. See Paul Sellers you tube

Same thoughts crossed my mind

Went for 47 quid. I have one near identical for sale. Proceeds to local children's hospic.

Are you going to do a WIP, we could all benefit from seeing your skills.

When I am sober, I will try to post close ups of some details that illustrate the craftsmanship that I have been finding today.

photos, hopefully

I need to sort out photos but I received a perfectly executed oak garden kneeler. Santa, it is a far too good piece of furniture to use in the garden, so I have turned it upside down and it now has pride of place next to my chair for my drinks holder. Without photos this may sound strange, but...

Mine has just arrived. Thank you very much santa Relieved I did not draw bm101: Parcel wrong shape for a bucket and too heavy to be old chammys ;)
