Yes, Mercola certainly is an osteopath. So what? He has a good track record and is definitely in accord with my own independent research. Just because someone isn't of a particular 'breed' doesn't render what they say invalid. We have people like Chris Whitty, all the computer models he worked...

Yes, they are notoriously 'weak' in terms of energy output, and as you say, you end up having to supplement anyway! Definitely not 'smart', eh?

Indeed. I remember taking out all the heat-storage bricks once, ready to fit another storage heater, but was able to work around it in the end, fortunately. The other disadvantage (and it's a significant one) was that you had to 'guess' what the weather would be like the following day, for if...

To the OP, all I can say is DO NOT agree to have a smart meter installed. Why? Because anything the government is 'pushing' is never in 'your best interest'! Additionally the smart meters can learn a lot about your activity: when you're out (usage goes down) to exactly the 'time' you use...

Robbo3 has said exactly what I was thinking, immediately on reading this. That's how I'd do it also. (y)

Hi RS6MRA To be frank, and not to criticise what's already there, whether the wrong side of the door had the handle fitted or not, you have to deal with the problem, except I don't see it as too much of a problem. Sure you could buy a new door, but that would require not just expense and hassle...

Woodndrum, yes in fact since I wrote that comment I too have considered the protractor and T-square, instead of a rule. As you say, this will cover many aspects. So true. I think it's why I enjoy 'reading' catalogues, as I always try to think in terms of how the tools will be used; how I'd be...

Indeed, they do need to be set up correctly. I wasn't saying otherwise, or advocating any old advice. Due diligence - as with anything - is part and parcel of whatever it is you are trying to do or achieve. Maybe some people struggle, others don't so much. It very much depends on one's abilities...

I've never really understood what all the fuss about bandsaw drift is, for if you've set up your machine properly, it just doesn't happen anyway. While I respect Steve Maskery and doubtless many people would benefit from his DVDs (and I don't want to take any business away from him), but it's...

Yet another very interesting thread. I like the ideas and creative thinking here. I'm in a similar position, though I'm now thinking that the solution lay with a 'bigger' idea, is it were, for I also wish to increase the surface area of both my bandsaw and table saw beds. After much thought...

This is a very topical thread for me too, as although I've already posted elsewhere on the forum about something on these lines, I thought I'd found the solution, by filing down a brass strip, which would form the base slot carrier, and possibly adapt an Incra V127 mitre guide to fit onto this...

I very much like the idea of turning the tin upside down. Brilliant, simple idea. The only downside (no pun intended guys;) is that of appearance and reading the labels. I haven't tried this, but it is similar to the cling film idea (though cling film in my experience has a habit of sticking to...

Thanks for your message, Lee. I can see that in your situation you'd have been less limited, by virtue of the fact that as you point out, you milled with a plunge action. Vibration and lateral cutting issues wouldn't have therefore have caused much difficulty. The potential problem I had, was...

Yes, Eric, I can see why specialists would prefer non-standard bolts for specific applications, as they're simply more suited to the job; and as you say, fine pitches indeed do have less tendency to work loose, for bolts used in situations where vibration is present. The shallower (meaning...

Yes I can see it's pretty technical/complicated, though I understand what's being said, just - having just read the wikipedia definition. Thanks. I think I was struggling to get my head around the height vs pitch ratio; in as much as for the same ratio, if the depth of thread was the same for...

That's all well and good, but the point of this whole exercise is not to buy yet another machine! If I can use or adapt my existing machinery, then so much the better, not to mention extra cost - especially as I'm unlikely to need to mill again like this. If I do, and it's ongoing for any...

Sure, ss03947, this is why I've come to this forum, as sometimes danger is closer than one thinks :( Thanks for the warning anyway.

Interesting :? I can't see, without a diagram or physical representation, how an M8 can have two different pitches. My understanding, which now falls into question :oops: , was that M8, for example, was a specific diameter AND pitch. I haven't work with metal for a good many years, so maybe...

Looks a really professional job indeed, Pete. Attaching images of work you've actually done, really does demonstrate well what can be achieved, with care. Thanks a lot!

Thanks Spindle; it'll be good for future reference. I'm bookmarking it!
