Hi Wallace I’ve just tried sending you an email via your UKW profile - can you let me know if you don’t get it Many thanks

Gladly! I’m about to go out for the day but I’ll respond properly this evening or tomorrow.

No problem with border control - that’s a few miles further north! :wink: I’m an ex-soft southern so’n’so; you just need thicker socks. Can’t help with the old van though....

As the title! I’m looking for any suggestions for an organisation or individual who’d be interested in a working vintage hand lever operated mortiser. I’m not looking for any payment for it, but as it was given to me I’d like it to be used, restored or displayed rather than go for scrap. The...

Now gone to the first PM I received at 9:20 pm yesterday - sorry to the others.

John - thanks for the idea. Unfortunately the blades for the Supercut have a much larger star-shaped hole than those for the Multimaster. My Multimaster is fairly new and does have the star-shaped drive spindle. So unless anyone knows of a Supercut star to Multimaster star reducer, the offer...

And I do mean the SuperCut, and not the Multimaster. The fitting on the blades is different. I know this. I have a Multimaster, but ordered some SuperCut blades from Axminster. To add to my claim for full membership of the Muppet Club, :sign3: I had them a while before I opened them up...

Re switching from AOL, this may be relevant. A couple of years ago I know that AOL had a service they called "Bring Your Own Access" which enabled you to use the AOL front-end into a different ISP; I think this meant that favourites etc weren't lost, and you kept your aol email address. It was...

Gidon - that looks like it was made with my job in mind! Very many thanks for the link - it looks like you've found me another place to spend my money! :roll:

Paul - the lock is a special electronic combi jobby; I'm stuck with the depth! Ray - thanks for the suggestion. I'd been thinking along the lines you suggest, and now I've seen the non-tilting stand on Axminster's site I reckon it has possibilities. What's the likelihood of finding a Forstner...

Help! I need to cut a mortice 25mm wide by 84mm deep into a door stile, and I only have about 2mm tolerance on the depth. I'm sure that if I try and do this with a hand chisel I'll be looking to replace the door :( The only way I can think of to keep it accurate and control the depth is to...

This may have popped up before in the many threads on making router tables - if so then apologies! I've been having some bathroom cladding done with Wetwall - this is a panel that consist of a plywood core with a decorative laminate face and a laminate backing (it goes under several names). Now...

I got some suitable screws from a2a4 by post - no hassle. It seems to be a common problem amongst Triton buyers, and the screws aren't the sort of thing you find in the sheds or your corner shop. Pity Triton don't make the extra effort to supply a few in useful lengths with the router......

A Bristol senior citizen drove his brand new BMW convertible out of the car showroom. Heading off down the M4, he floored it to 90 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. "Amazing!" he thought as he flew down the Motorway, enjoying pressing the accelerator even...

I ordered four 1200 clamps and one of those also arrived with the plastic bit broken; looked to me like bad packaging from the manufacturer in the first place - given the weight of a 1200 clamp it's easy for the plastic bit to end up taking the whole lot in transit. Like Colin, I reckon it's...
