Bumping an old thread. How are you all getting on. Anyone stopped smoking or are you still puffing away?

Cod and chips 1/9p. No bones or skin wth the fish, just pick it up and eat all of it. In winter a large glass off hot whiskey one and truppence. Back row balcony seats in the cinema one and ninepence :wink: Carrying a half-hundred weight bag of coal and the wet battery for the wireless on me...

Hi Geoff, I used to smole 40 Embassy No1 every day. That was burning £16 per day. I tried various e-fagsand settled with the VIP. I've not had a real cigarette since !st. of February this year, afer smoking for 55 years. Now what I spent every day on fags lasts me almost 2 weeks. Good luck. Des.

I've just seen a Delta single-speed scroll-saw on E-bay Seller is including a dimmer switch which he says he uses to vary the speed of the saw. I'm no electrician but I wouldn't have thought this would be a good idea for either the motor or the user. Is this safe?

Hi John, meant to reply to you before last post. Must cut down on beer next. a..Cartridges are non-refillable. Refillable are available. b...Asfar as I know cartridges are not interchangeable. c.. YES!

Hi MP. this is my 45th day without a real cig. I'm using the VIP cartridges and have gone from 40 Embassy no 1 per day to zero. That was costing me around £16 per day. Now I spend that per week. Saving up for a 50" tv now, and getting very close to getting it.:lol:

Little grand-daughter told me this one today. Mummy mummy, what's a werewolf? Mummy replies 'Shaddup and comb your face'.

Hi Jimi, the Rexon saw you bought is model no.vs4003A. I was watching it on Ebay. I bought one a year aga and have found it to be a very good saw. Did you get a user manual with it? If not I have a spare one. I have recently bought a second identical saw to use for spare parts. Happy scrolling...

Looks like a job for Super Son-In-Law. (hammer)

Thank you.

Not very savvy on the pc. Any help would be gratefully accepted. (homer) Got some unfinished portraits (just cut out and not sanded)done on me Rexon scrollsaw. I would like to see what the pro members reckon, Should I pack it in, and take up knitting? Not got a clue how to post a few pics.

Don't take chances. Get a qualified sparks to do it.

Thank you Scrollerman, Chippygeoff AND phil.p for your replies. Last time I used it I vacuumed it and sprayed the table with WD40,wiped the excess off and thought that would keep it in good condition.

What is the best way to get rid of rust on my fretsaw work table I haven't used it for about two months and was surprised to see the amount of rust on it. It seems t be where my hands rest on it while sawing. Thanks in advance for any help.

Best laugh I've had since me gran caught her left t*t caught in the mangle.
