Probably not what you want to hear, but dogs, like all animals should not be picked up and dropped because of a persons inexperience. This subject really ruffles my feathers, in my opinion you should never give up on a dog once youve took one on, there are many ways to stop problem barking...

Leather strop holder?

Horses for courses! I run a garage for a living, and try to butcher wood in my free time! - I'm not sure I could do it every day though.... Liam. www.gilmortongarage.co.uk

Clever chap...............

I think the 'new spindle moulder' is actully a tenoner...... Liam.

I run a Garage for a living, see http://www.gilmortongarage.co.uk , and this price is realistic. The freelander is easy enough to do but there is alot of components to remove. You should be having a dual mass fitted, and also a new concentric slave cylinder, because if these fail 2k up the...

Just wondering if anyone has used Sykes timber before? I am 10 mins from Whitmores, but they dont really like you selecting your own timber, and the quality is just not consistent enough. Looking in my local area, its really only Sykes that is near enough to me. Do sykes allow self -...

Ok so you like to mull things over! Try my way, more fun! (hammer)

Sounds like a blunt blade maybe? My inlaw came to use my wadkin BRA radial arm, and he just wasn't strong enough to control the force of the saw. But my machine is a big brute, so doubt its your strength with yours? Is the turret bolted securely to the base/bench? is there any play in the...

Thanks everyone for their input. I have just ordered a couple of thermal hygrometers, one for the workshop and one for home. I'm thinking if i can get to somehere near 30 to 50% relative humidity in the workshop this will be ideal for the house too? Liam.

If you take the belts to a belt/bearing shop, they will have a tool to measure yours, and supply the nearest metric equivalent. I use Leicester bearings and belts Co. http://leics-bearings.co.uk/

I was pretty much guessing that would be the case. Just a bit gutting when a very expensive amount of wood warps. Warps my mind! Would anyone recommend the use of those oil filled radiators to try and raise the temp and dry the workshop? I am planning to insulate the foof to stop...

I'm sure your method will be fine, and obviously to avoid any planning issues, it is a necessity. Daisy is ridden by my other half, and generally looked after better than me! We intend to have her broken to drive in the summer - have had a lesson and its definitely for me - none of that kicking...
