    I run a digital publishing company and the best move we ever made was going from CDROM and DVD over to digital download. There are many realities you need to be aware of 1) Most file sharing is done by people who would NEVER buy your product, even if it cost 1p. These guys just love downloading...

    Aldi, router and table tomorrow Sunday 11th sept

    I've got the identical machinemart version of the table, it's pretty rubbish. I used the switch and featherboards for my own router table build, but the rest is junk IMO.

    Shopping Cart Website

    If you use a payment gateway which deals with the actual card processing (paypal, worldpay etc), then as long as they are PCI compliant, you will be okay. If you have a merchant account and use a third party like Secure Trading or Sagepay, to handle the card data, you'll generally be considered...

    Please Help! Solid Wood Flooring Advice needed!!!

    Ask 100 fitters and you'll get 100 different replies. Many don't like to float solid wood, but as long as you have nice long planks and nothing ridiculously wide there are many who say it's fine,. However if you have DIY-shed flooring, the ones that come in 'varying lengths' (i.e. lots of 300mm...

    Wood Floor for Workshop

    Self levelling will do the trick. You can then install the floor floating, with DPM backed insulation to protect the boards from moisture. Or more expensive option, glue down, with a liquid DPM first, using something like Sikabond. Try these guys http://www.factory-direct-flooring.co.u ...

    Who knows about customs duty from the States to the U.K?

    Unless under £36, marking a purchase as a gift makes no difference to duty owed. Remember there's also a handling charge from parcleforce.

    Need a new rip blade

    Can vouch for the AW industrial saw blades, very good quality, kerf 3.2mm. If you visit their factory shop in Sheffield, those blades are £25 each, not the £50+ everyone else seems to be selling them at. Their hand saws are also significantly cheaper if you buy direct. Just picked up a 200mm...

    Disappointing food purchase

    Best pre-prepared thai curry pastes I've found come from oriental supermarkets, also significantly cheaper and typically no rubbish added, just pure herbs & spices.

    18v Li-Ion Hitachi Combi drill

    It's always 'half price' in my local B&Q, never seen it actually sold at £199! It's a good drill, quite light, feels good in the hand, and can drill into brick without too much sweat. I don't think its worth £199 though, but for £99 it's worth it. I got mine on a 20% off day 18 months ago, so...

    oak flooring

    I don't think you'll get many to recommend installing solid wood floors in a bathroom, but you 'may' be okay with engineered, as long as it's really well sealed after installation. You can get structural grade engineered floors, 22mm thick with 6mm oak top, these can be floated, nailed or glued...
