Well generally the supplier would be the first place to ask about their chemicals. It's not like the Conservative party as the rules and regs ARE enforced for COSHH violations.

I think people over estimate the dangers of modern treatments. Is TANALISED timber safe to use in children's playgrounds? TANALISED Timber is safe to use for structures in and around children's play areas. With regard to any concerns that the children may 'chew' or 'eat' the treated timber...

paragraph 9 Disputes 9 All enquiries or disputes about an invoice will be treated as a query in the first instance, for which no fee is payable. If dutyholders are not satisfied with the response they can dispute all or part of the invoice. A fee is payable for handling disputes that are...

it's not so much that they need to be encouraged to aim for whatever it is they want to do, I see the current problem that many have no idea what they want to do, so don't even have anything to aim for. you can give someone the best the best Bow available and explain how to use it but with no...

The church of Google where you get a quick answer in the red cave ?

As someone else mentioned I'm sure there is a misplaced idea among many people that veneer is simply a cost cutting method of construction and that solid wood must be better. My significant other wanted a new sink and cabinet in our kitchen. It needed to be custom made due the sink but she was...

If this was solid wood then they could be hinged at the top, with the gap at the bottom to allow for expansion as well as to provide a way to open them.

Maybe I'm missing something here. While it would be possible to build a substantial disconnection device into a meter it would surely massively increase the cost compared to just fitting a measuring device. I can't see the main fuses being phased out of domestic supplies any time soon as they...

Look for a company that does water jet cutting, looked like there may be a couple in Cyprus.

I'd like to thank the mods for letting that thread run for as long as it did, and thanks to the contributors. I enjoyed the conversation very much. There were certainly a few yellow card offences and I have to agree with the ref on red carding the comment this thread refers to. Don't know what...

That's a big list and hence a very successful project

I'm not sure building a sled is a solution to kickback, unless you are just crosscutting without suitable support. Are you getting this cutting ply? Check your fence is parallel to the blade, you may be trapping the wood between the blade and the fence. Ensure you have the riving knife fitted...

George Clooney. Got an upgrade to 1st on flight to the USA. Spotted Elvis Costello sitting nearby so managed to get a photo with him. Failed to recognise George sitting a few rows back, despite the aircrew getting his autograph. In the arrivals hall George came up to me and said 'Elvis Costello...

That's a hell of a list, I am thankful you edited it down. I'm sure in the cases of companies moving their operations, help from the EU makes it easier, but I doubt if these have all occurred just because grants were available (I'm sure some did). Dyson for example, I didn't find the reference...
