OK now that's something I don't appreciate. I don't tolerate being spoken to like a 3 year old child thank you. Your advice however is accepted. TBW

Chems, your comments are noted. you're welcome to your opinion but your comments have no weight. sorry to say it but as I say you don't know me. only what a screen full of text shows you. You havent had the chance to see me in person, talk to me nor see what's there. instead you formulate an...

This is out of the realms of the other sectors of the board, so I'll post this bit here. I've had folks ask over time, how I go about designing my custom tools and design for new products. I apologise for lack of photos. I've replied to a topic on firmer chisels hence this post and it's been...

of course thankyou

I may be able to help here. Though firmer chisels would not be suitable in their current state (short handles, etc. I have done this myself in working out some tool designs in the past. Here's the trick. Some obvious, some not so. First, let's consider the size of the handles. short handles...

I've found yew to be a sweet timber to turn, however in terms of stability, drying is a trick. A stable, warm, conditioned environment with plenty of time, helps. It's a shame when you turn a piece and either half way or at the end of the turning process, a crack generates or has remained...

Dave, I'm sorry for approaching you regarding the DVD. When I spoke to you, I was trying to find a descriptive DVD to listen to regarding tuning the bandsaw and hoped you could assist. you decided to hang up on me as the tone in your voice was getting more and more harsh. I'm not here to tell...

I don't need media attention. What you don't see is that doing something like this can have a far more negative approach and result than a positive format. In this world as I have first hand knowledge, there are scum who have the opinion that disabled people like me should not exist, we are a...

Teaching woodwork to young people, especially in schools is difficult. I remember my old woodwork tutor who's a good friend of mine, struggling with unruly students who didn't care about the craft. instead all they cared about was who did what with who the night before, weekend plans, etc. It...

I understand that tom, relating to another thread similar to this, I had to put up with a lot of bullying from certain people, that's why I left here alone, because it was just causing more and more upset. I'm here to set the record straight as you rightly say and just want to close the book...

I would further wish to apologise to Noel, the other moderators and Charlie for my behaviour, especially to Noel where I felt I had put my case to him and did so in the wrong way. Please try to understand what I am saying here. As a disabled young person, trying to get any form of work with...

OK. to all who read this thread and these messages. I would like to issue a public appology to all those who have an opinion and those who have supported me. It was not my intention to commit any degree of fraud as I am being accused of. I was in genuine need of support from companies who got...

Well hello. First off I'd like to thank a certain someone who's a member of this list for informing me of this particular thread. It seems yet again that certain persons on this list are taking great delight in causing damage to my name and reputation. First off, let's just get some facts...

yep that's the one lol. I couldn't remember which thread it was but there it is. Thanks Jumps. lew

My apologies for offering phone based consultations. perhaps if you'd read my comment about my health, you'd realise that there's a fair bit of time I feel absolutely tired and typing's my last priority at times. So sorry about that guys. I don't profit from advice, etc. anyway there's a...

for cutting large section timbers including sleepers, I'd advise a dewalt aligator saw model DW390 230V ALLIGATOR SAW can be found at http://www.dm-tools.co.uk/product.php/s ... /sn/DEW390 It's a safer alternative to using a chainsaw if you are not competent as kickback is more of a potential...

Sorry about that Miles. I don't just do things on the forum. I offer consultations, workshop design services and more either through email, phone or site visits.

Cheers. Can I ask that this topic now close if that's OK? cheers lew

hahahahahahahahahahaha that's bloomin marvelous. adverts get better by the day. I once knew a dyslexic ambidextrous typist who worked for our local newspaper. She was absolutely amazing. her use of language drove me mad and this ad reminded me of her lol. lew

Sorry I DID get that wrong. dodgy memory. I was close enough and no I'm no qualified sparky. lew
