Our ensuite currently has a cheap shaver light which is on a direct spur from the lighting circuit. I would like to replace this with some low voltage downlights built into a cabinet I am going to make, something along these lines: The lights would probably be switched via a ceiling pull...

On the ITV4 hightlights they said that he had a broken spoke. Dave

'Tis true, but with a number 2. The following comes from this site. It worked for my wife and she avoided having to have surgery. There is a warning over very big stones, though. "HOW TO REMOVE GALLSTONES NATURALLY 1. For the first five days, drink at least four glasses of apple juice every...

I feel compelled to point out that on the Edit profile page https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/profile.php?mode=editprofile, scroll to the avatar control panel at the bottom - "Displays a small graphic image below your details in posts. Only one image can be displayed at a time, its width can...

Your avatar which you changed last week is 164 x 101 pixels. The maximum alowed is 80 x 80 pixels. What's my prize? :D Dave

Yep, you can get them here.

I see what you mean, Tom, but the 4 smaller drawers all have their grain in the same orientation, so the top 2 large drawers look a bit odd. I think that is what Rob meant. Although there is clearly some very good work in the piece, I'm afaid I find it quite hideous myself. Dave

I agree entirely, Peter. As far as I am concerned, a rip-off involves dishonesty or fraud. For example, if I commissioned a piece of furniture from solid timber and was quoted for solid timber, but was supplied with veneered mdf, then I have been ripped off. If, on the other hand, I got the...

A b it late on this, but just to say that I built wardrobes using the carcase method following advice on here from Jason and others. Face frame biscuited on. I found it fairly straightforward and would do the same again with one difference: I used adjustable legs and found it very difficult to...

Nice cabinet, Tony. Interesting that the handles are your own design, as they bear more than a passing resemblance to the handle on 'A cabinet for small pleasures', a piece by David Charlesworth's student Greata which was featured in F&C a few years ago. I wonder if there was some kind of...

Brilliant things. We bake at least one loaf a day, sometimes more. We had a cheap one at first and when it packed up we bought, on advice, a Panasonic. It's more expensive but superb - far better texture and flavour and it does a loaf more than large enough for sandwiches for a family of four...

I'm definitely with Mike and Aled on this one - good job we're not all in the same family!! I do all the cooking at Christmas including the cake, the pudding and mincemeat. Of all the food we eat, these are the three to which I look forward the most. My 6 year old daughter was taking a mince...

Drop to an affordable price?

You mean you normally leave it on at night?? :shock: :shock: :shock: Dave

Interesting comments overall - at one time Amazon was held up as an example of the best in e-commerce. But it does seem to be rather 'busy' these days (in the sense of the amount of stuff ont he page, rather than number of customers). My own thoughts are similar to Roger's but no-one is forcing...
