My last night with access to a computer in the Uk. I fly to Canada on Thursday. My only trepidation now is dropping the dogs off at the shippers tomorrow. They are both 9 and have never been in kennels. They fly from Brum on Saturday morning. Next time I appear I will be living in Canada...

I got back from our house hunting trip on 14 July. SInce then I have been sorting out the house for the move to Canada and trying to use up my timber stocks since I can't take sawn timber with me. The movers come in on Monday so my time is up..... Pics aren't great - it was dark when I took...

The move is fast approaching and I am trying to sort out things as I think of them. I have a backed up copy of my files on an external hard drive but would also like a belt and braces option. I am thinking of this third back up for the main essential files - which probably amount to 4 or 5...

So I'm back from Canada for a bit. The missus is now over there permanently, has started work and is loving it (phew!) I went over there for a week with the hope of finding the sort of property we wanted. We had been working with a real estate agent over there who is married to a woodworker...

The summer Pugh's auction is on this weekend - looks like its much bigger than usual. I can't go since I'm in Canada buying a house (pics of workshop to come :wink: :D ) Details of auction below: H.J. Pugh & Co AUCTIONEERS LEDBURY SALEROOMS MARKET STREET, LEDBURY, HEREFORDSHIRE (Close to...

I have subs with both FWW and Fine Homebuilding. They both expire around about now and I didn't want to renew at an international rate for two years when I will be able to buy a local sub for much less soon. However I didn't want to miss out on issues either. Explained the situation to their...

Can anyone recommend a good one? It doesn't need to be a radio as well. It needs to have a decent volume capability. Cheers Tim

I have been going through my timber stocks prior to the move to see what I have , what I am going to try to persuade the mover's agent to let me take with me and what I need to sell or convert into furniture before we leave. I have realised that somewhere along the line I have mixed up some...

My wife needs a new laptop - her current one is old, heavy and slow. The key criteria are: light screen that is legible in daylight reasonable battery life windows/vista compatible I also imagine that 'good looking' will be on the list somewhere too. What would you recommend? Cheers Tim

This sign appeared outside our house this morning: The agent is a very good guy and clearly has a well developed sense of humour! On the market for a week - two viewers, second one offered the asking price after one visit. Funnily enough we accepted. Best thing is that they have taken out...

Something odd has happened on my PC - whenever I open a directory in Windows explorer or try to open a file through a program eg Word, the directory has defaulted to showing the file list starting with Z instead of A. I don't see a way of returning this to its original default - clearly I can...

I was given a big lump of burr elm when we were fishing a couple of years ago. It has sat as a large door stop inside since then. I want to clean it up and show the quality of the burr and on the flatter faces this is simple enough. However, there is also a lot of highly irregular undulating...

I have an unused sheet of 0.7mm laminate (white liner) that is 3050x 1300mm. I bought it ages ago with the intention of putting it on router table top. Never got round to it - am not going to get round to it and its taking up space. Its loosely rolled in it original box - free for collection...

I don't think it is faked. http://www.chilloutzone.de/files/08033101.html

We have rats - par for the course in the country. Poison blocks went down last week under the deck, wired down - all done by council pest control but overseen by me as well. Gardener comes to mow the lawn yesterday so I did a quick clear up of any dog poo - to come across some that is bright...

We have a fixed skylight giving much needed daylight to a passage in the house. It is on the southside of the house and the well below the light is about 2ft deep. It gets very hot in there and has systematically shrugged off any paint that we have applied in under 6 months. Can anyone...

This link was posted on another forum. I don't know if its visible to non subscribers but worth a look because it is simply incredible: http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworking/ ... show=30250 While the voice over is bland (to say the least) its worth hearing to inform the pics Cheers Tim

Because I can't count I have a couple of dozen 900mm (32mm sect), stop chamfer spindles spare from recently replacing my staircase. They are factory primed and are hardwood - by the look of it, tulipwood. They aren't that light so collection may be the only option. I'm not after payment...

Does anybody else find the omissions in the F&C tool review extraordinary. I appreciate that these things are heavily sponsored but to ignore clear leaders in categories is very odd. Too much Draper by far, surprising no mention of Metabo Duo in the ROS section and no mention of Festool at...
