    Ratio!?

    I'm sure that someone on this forum will have some good ideas even if there is no absolute answer! I'm looking to make some small Sofa height round tables with a single stem. Base and top will be turned from re-used solid oak strip kitchen work tops so fairly heavy. Is there a ratio of...

    Floor Steamers

    Apparently our tiled kitchen floor plus one or two others, is very dirty and only a steam cleaner will work! It needs to go into corners but price is not so much an issue. So does anyone have experience of these good and bad and what should I be looking at? Phil

    Home is where the Art is

    Hi Anyone else watching this program? What a lot of most amazing artists working in such varied materials and styles. It makes me realise how limited my talent (what talent!) is. Also, being so nosy, and a surveyor, it is so interesting looking round peoples hoses. How they choose, I can't...

    Domestic Vacuum Cleaners

    I'm sure people have very firm view on these, so can I have any recommendations for a new vacuum cleaner bearing in mind we have a dog, both carpets and ard floors and stairs! I'm not that keen on Henry types favouring an upright. Cost clearly comes into it and, unless told otherwise, I'm...

    Penkits UK

    Hi I don't know if anyone else uses this company for their kits, but I've just been to their site to find that the owner is giving up. Really sad to see this as I have always had good service with a wide range of kits at very reasonable process. Needless to say, I ordered what I could, but...

    Oh Dear

    Was in a craft shop on the west coast of Scotland admiring some ice turned pieces when I noticed a nice goblet. Looked at the label 'Ash' it said. Was it? No of course not, so I had to very tactfully to tell the owner that it was in fact Yew. Give her her due, she took it off the shelf and...
