That's nice =D>

I think I'd probably patch with a new piece of pipe with a connector at each end rather than any rubber or jubilee clips. Don't know about regs tho'.

Welcome jennifer. You have 2 things in common with everyone on here - we were all new to woodworking and new to the forum at some (highly variable :) ) point.

Have you tried bleeding the highest radiator when the system's been off for a few hours? Or, even better, bleed every radiator when the system's been off. This gives the air time to rise to the bleed screws - which it can't do when the pump's running. remember you may then have to top the...

Nice shape, lovely job.

Oh and yes, some woods are worse, far worse, than others.

I think you might need some new drill bits, or sharpen the ones you have - including the threads, not just the tip.

Normally sticking is when the drill doesn't clear itself, and the sawdust builds up and jams it/cooks it. When you withhdraw the bit are all the cutting threads clean ?

Thanks for the efforts. It seems to have sparked a posting frenzy tho', - 27 pages of "new posts", since yesterday pm. :shock:

Not really much help, but I'm typing this on W7 notebook and WiFi, Ijust, kinda, turned them both on. WiFi first :)

Wrong tense Gnu, he was,doing very well etc. Look at the post date. The whole post date :D

I've had wood split with the exothermic reaction when using CA to bond the tubes in. I've never had it happen with PU glue. (Apart from splits when turning obviously dodgy timber).

What glue are you using?

Between our triple glazed units it's carbon fibre. (and gassed with argon).

Buying spare tubes will be cheaper than buying debonder. I don't know about re-using the blank, I just use the other half to make a duo style pen if there's an un-retrievable split.
