    Nuisance phone calls

    Most of the scammers are based in the Delhi area of India, as there've been a few of the groups raided and arrested in the past few months. The Microsoft or Windows scam usually works by them asking you to sit at your computer and start up the Event Viewer utility, which they can then use to...

    Mitre Saw from Screwfix

    Hmm... must agree that it does actually seem far more likely it's a 110v yellow plug with the machine, fairly common for mitre saws, mine included. In which case there are two options... 1) Sell it and buy a 240v machine, or 2) Go back to Screwfix and buy one of these...

    Mitre Saw from Screwfix

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fly-Lead-Con ... 2423412005 But check the mitre saw specs to make sure it won't actually need the 16A, seems fairly unlikely though.

    Nitro-Mors... more like No-Mores!

    Paramose is still excellent for paint stripping, Synstrip is another - they are very much in the same category as Creosote - still available but officially only for use by 'licensed professionals'. :-" A search on Ebay for 'industrial paint stripper' also throws up a few products which would...

    Another Sellers MkII bench build & new workshop! Project #2

    Been a bit busy recently on things other than woodworking, but stopped by and see that you're making really excellent progress! And completely agree that the moment the first apron gets fitted, with wedges, is a real eye-opener as to just how stable the whole setup becomes. The bolt through the...

    Luthier required in or near the West Midlands

    Good timing, as indeed there is at least one that I know of: member5908.html Simo - he's based in Burntwood, Staffordshire. Might be worth sending a message.

    Essence of Pine - for sale?

    Custard, while I agree with most of what you say as it's very true about information overload, there is one silver lining, I feel, to the Internet woodworking craze, and that is the far greater exposure the subject receives now compared to twenty years ago. Or in other words, while 2/3 or...

    Essence of Pine - for sale?

    I thought it was 'Parfum de Paul' which was the product for sale...? :shock: :lol: Watched the video yesterday and it did make me chuckle. Looking through some of the comments on Paul's videos and blog posts though do remind me of this scene from the Life of Brian...

    Another Sellers MkII bench build & new workshop! Project #2

    You've got a lot done now and definitely got the hardest bit out of the way I'd say - the apron housings for the legs took me far less time and were easier to get right than the mortise and tenon joints. One thing I found with my tenons were that the shoulders weren't quite square or level, and...

    Workbench Drawers for the Paul Sellers style workbench

    Looking good so far, interesting to see this progress as I've yet to decide on an end or a side drawer.

    Mail service for powertool batteries

    Similar stupidities exist in the world of fragrances/perfumes. If I want to order a bottle of aftershave, eau de toilette or perfume to be sent to my home I can do so from pretty much anywhere in the world, and it will be happily transported first via aeroplane, train or ship to get to the UK...

    5 X 4 FOOT TRAILER

    Ah, I misunderstood, yes, as it has brakes fitted then they have to be working, indeed.

    5 X 4 FOOT TRAILER

    Any trailer under 750kg gross weight doesn't have to be braked - BUT, if the towing vehicle is a particularly small or light one then there is a restriction on the maximum unbraked load it can pull, which is half of the towing vehicle's kerbweight (or 750kg, whichever is the lowest figure)...

    Thanks for the inspiration

    Thanks for the reply and photo - as you say, a simple construction but a picture instantly shows what sometimes can be tricky to imagine through words alone. My drawer would probably go in the end, I'm not sure if I'm 100% sold on the idea of installing a drawer in the front (or rear) apron...

    Thanks for the inspiration

    Having a better look at this during my work break, and very impressed! Elegant and well made, I like it a lot. How is the drawer accommodated internally may I ask? As I'm thinking about adding one to my bench. You mention runners and guides, any chance of a picture so I can see how you've...

    Oak Saw Cabinet / Saw Till

    Thanks for the further comments, and a particular thanks also to Ken (treebangham) for posting here, as the initial inspiration for this project. My next project won't likely be until autumn as too many outdoor jobs to do now, but will hopefully be a mitre and square combination shooting board.

    Facebook, I am very worried

    A few days before the official 'raid', according to news reports, Facebook security personnel were seen at Cambridge Analytica conducting their own mini-raid and removed several boxes of paperwork, probably all the ones with devonwoody's false profiles... :lol: It's been brewing for years...
