Well the 'cosmetic jewelry' is placed, or more accurately pierced into the desired part of the body using stainless steel devices to avoide problems with poisoning. Popular pieces are rings, dumbells and prince alberts. :oops: Oh - you wanted to know about the dispaly cabinets - yes me too...

I read somewhere that it was better to have the bench a little on the short side than on the long The reasoning was that you are more likely to get fed up with a short bench and add packing / blocks to the legs to bring it up to the correct level than you are to be willing to take a saw to legs...

I have to agree with Mike Garnahm - speaking from experience of putting a nail into a burried electrical cable - surface mount where possible.

Not having been before i have nothing to compare to but there was a girl with unrealisticaly long legs on the Nilfisk stand - wasnt wearing much in the way of a skirt either. Cant comment on her smile as i couldnt look that far up :lol: There was one girl on the Makita stand with the tight...

I agree - often trying things makes you see it possibly isnt for you. Mind you - got my hands on a trend router and now realise the difference between the £50 special i picked up a couple of years ago, and a 'proffesional' model. Mine has a kick like a mule and has caused more than its fair...

Hi sawdust makers! (Sorry if this seems a bit rude but this is what swimbo calls me - and to be fair with my ability isn't far off the truth! :oops: ) Anyway, as i have had the week off i had some time to go along to the D&M Tool Show at Kempton park on Friday. This was very expensive...

Wizer - thanks for the post - interesting stuff Although a litle remiscent of G-Plan furnitue from the 70's i do like the glass topped table you snapped... very nice Thanks for sharing and glad you had a good day

Dave S - very observant. Am I a newbie -you bet. Do I have any of this gear already - Yes (Varying hand tools in the most of questionable quality, and not a lot of skill to use them on my behalf, a cheap mitre saw and a router) Do I have a really nice place to use it - No - outside when the...

I baught one of those guide clamps that George suggested, and have to say no too impressed. They do clamp and sit good and firm but they allow for you to clamp on a slight angle if you want which add a eakness which means as you apply the clamp one end can twist a lttle taking you off of the...

Wow - thanks for all the responces. I know it does depend on the type of work you want to do which way you lean on hand or power tools, but i am leaning towards power tools as experience has shown a lack of ability in telling if something is straight or level by eye, and i can realy make a good...

StevieB - you are correct - this is accademic as i certainly dont have £5k burning a hole in my pocket. My interest was peaked after talking to a mate who used to deal in insurace, and it made me think i currently have what i would call a motly selection of tools picked up here and there and a...

Hi I am sure this sort of thing has been covered here before but i though i might put a twist on things... before i go any further i should point out this is nothing to do with running or other non workshop / shed based activity, so if you thought this was going to be one of those 'sponsor...

I think its a stable. Very nice work though =D>

Pike What is the actual wording they used? personally i am impressed that the council responded - i emailed mine over a year ago regarding building a shed, and never got any response other than to confirm receipt and that someone would get back to me... even after chasing - nothing. So...

How about a picture mike?
