    Planed AND treated 4x1 for climbing frame?

    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.

    Planed AND treated 4x1 for climbing frame?

    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...

    ITA (Initial Teaching Alphabet). Anyone else a victim?

    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...

    Solid cabinet doors - wood movement strategy

    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...

    Solid cabinet doors - wood movement strategy

    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.

    Free electric

    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.

    Dear Members- A point and a reminder

    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...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

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

    Wood suppliers - where to go?

    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...

    Behind the public image

    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...

    Who is in and who is out?

    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...

    Who is in and who is out?

    There is a good reason you have seen dozens and dozens of these workers pass through your shared accommodation. The multinational corporations that employee these skilled people will often bring them to the UK on fixed length visas so they can be trained on UK methods and get to know fellow team...

    Rant about the bank REPLY FROM BANK ADDED

    That's not my experience at all, I use Coop and Nationwide and that's never happened. I've also discussed 'unfair' charges with banks on a number of occasions and they generally seem willing to refund if you have a reasonable case. It would be pretty hard for them to claim you were overdrawn on...

    Who is in and who is out?

    I do expect anyone in this country to live by our laws They are currently awaiting trial Ok, this is starting to address the point I was trying to make. One example does not make a case. I don't know the statistics comparing sex crime, or any crime between Muslims and white UK nationals, I do...

    Who is in and who is out?

    If this had been a native white Newcastle man (unlikely to make national news) would you be advocating banning all Tyne and Wear residents from crossing the boarder? Given one of your main arguments is that anyone with a 'vested interest' cannot have a valid opinion I'm disappointed you read...

    Who is in and who is out?

    Yes, I think the only potential winners here are a few people trying further their career, and even then, if they succeed I think it will be a very short term gain for them. There are actually more than 2 sides campaigning on this and I'm certainly not supporting the two that the media have...
