How nice! But don't get excited! I have had a final warning from Neil the Mod. I guess I probably won't be here long!

Hi Neil. Do you notice people stop talking when you enter a room?

I think HIPs are a good idea but has probably been diluted too much already by HMG. Although you have to spend to produce your own HIP, you benefit from having HIPs on properties you wish to purchase available to you. Being able to see a measure of thermal efficiency of a house before one gets...

Charlie, since you address me directly, here in this forum, kindly allow me to do the same to you. I speak for myself and only myself. But I find I am in agreement with, I acknowledge - a minority, who consider your action of allowing British Woodworking to advertise in the forum a mistake...

If you haven't had a warning yet ... it's on its way!

:lol: :lol:

Me too! Where shall we go?

That I would like to see. But surely you mean kinky boots - well, in the workshop anyway? In fact my avatar appears to have passed scrutiny. Neil, I think it was, just now asked for it to be resized to meet the forum rules. It was 20 pixels too long. Heaven forefend! I'm with you, Senior...

Given the high percentage of forum users who refer to their Significant Other as SWMBO, I thought a little dominant fetishism would be acceptable. Was I wrong? :oops:

Aaaah! The mist clears. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18086&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30#199642

Why not make up a few up shelves, fix them to various substrates, and do your own load tests? You would benefit by having a certification engineer on hand to witness and verify the results (suggest Lloyds Register). Or you could farm the tests out to an independent company. Either way you would...

As someone who had great fun making a BBC micro control model gantry cranes and such via home built interfaces I would be very interested so ... count me in too!

Well, seeing no-one else has much to say let me offer these thoughts. I've only used polyester resin for canoe building (lots of..). One thing I noticed is that the unreinforced resin is very brittle - almost glass like. That would be the last thing you needed in a joint in wood under load. My...

Kreg pocket screws from inside the wardrobe into the rear of the face frame would do nicely. This way you won't have the nightmare of having to line up biscuit slots. The pocket holes can be covered with wood inserts.

Given the high loading on the joint I might be tempted to put in a large diameter (25mm +) cross dowel in the pine since you have already bought the coach bolts. Locate the dowel such that the business end of the coach bolt will have some cross grain to purchase on. That will tend to prevent...

Oooh! I'm wasted! :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

And to contribute to the knowledge versus natural abilities debate, let me tell this tale that has remained with me many years ... I watched, dumbfounded, with fellow students, as a lecturer passed a knitting needle through an inflated balloon. He pushed it gently from one side clear through...

We shouldn't lose sight of the fact that magazines make most of their money from advertisers. Editors with an eye to their bottom line will tend to choose articles which can be used as a prompt to advertisers to take a bigger spread to match a 'special feature' article. In my own case, many...

Tony's request ignored? I can't begin to guess why. :roll:

Oh, you boys - you've got no imagination! I have a Shopmate Radial Arm Saw with a router power take off, I can fix a collet, tilt the head and, within reason, route at an angle.
