    Non foaming PU glues.

    http://www.toolstation.com/m/part.html?p=78519 we use the pu glue from toolstation and other places on site at work. It does foam slightly but nowhere near as much as gorilla glue and others.

    Work trousers

    Dewalt trousers are quite good, I've tried snickers trousers but found them quite tight around the thighs. At the moment my favourites are scruffs pro trousers, nice and roomy for kneeling and climbing around and really hard wearing.

    Office within factory

    Metric v's imperial, 2440 x 1220 is 8ft x 4ft, I suppose they do plasterboard in 2400 x 1200 as it's the nearest round number in metric??

    Tongue & Groove - Suffered I have

    Decent SatNav app for Android phone?

    Try Navfree, it works with the phone offline, although you do have to download the maps to your phone (best done while using wifi :wink: ) Use it all the time round London and so far has been spot on :D

    Anything woody to see/buy in Hereford?

    That's where my Dad and his wife have their shop (my father is a cabinet maker), however I think their shop is more nic-nacs and shabby chic kind of things

    Visual reference sources - dovetail joints

    Sounds familiar, clients that don't want veneered board but then get upset when solid timber isn't uniform ](*,)

    removing spring in concealed hinges

    Soss hinges could be an option but they're a bit of a puppy to set out accurately. 40mm seems a bit small, typo or some kind of access panel??? :-k

    Fixing question (now a sort of WIP)

    Add blocks to the ply to give more surface area for glueing and I'd personally use polyeurathane glue for the bonding. Ratchet cramps/straps will also be your friend for this one :wink:

    Workshop Layout

    I'm suprised you say that, I'm not arguing that you're right or wrong but I would have thought a table saw was much more useful. In the 10-11 years I spent in workshops a RAS was only really used for rough stock prep, while the table saw was used for many different operations, in fact one of the...
