Hi all, Been away from the forum for rather a long time but have popped in to read a few times. Very busy with our EBay buisness, stiill finding tall sorts of tools but more concentrating on engineering these days as planes have become very problematic. What I need making if anyone is up for it...

Seems to be my week for oddities! This came in a box of Bric a Brac at auction: Made of cold painted cast iron, the catch at bottom pulls out under a stronngish spring tension but no apparent ratchet to keep it out? Body is 6" overall by 3" wide. Some sort of gizmo for hanging pots over a fire...

Hi all, I have most of my music (3k+ tracks) sitting in a single folder (with LOTS of subfolders) on my Buffalo network drive. The main problem is that most of this is inherited music and is very disorganised indeed. I am slowly sorting it all out; deleting tracks I do not want, removing...

Hi all, Got this at the weekend with some nice planes and other bits and pieces. Very odd hand operated thing, anyone got any ideas what it is please? Cheers, Martin

Hi All, Each month I download a large csv file (approx 500-700 rows) from Ebay I then need to process this so that I can enter the values into my stock book in the way that I need for my purposes. There is a row for each item that contains the text 'GALLERY FEE' that they no longer charge for so...

Hi All, Can anybody point me in the right direction to obtain brass and stainless steel strip (bar?) I need 10 pieces in each material 30mm wide by 330mm long and 3 mm thick. Only place I've found is Chronos who don't do those sizes and scary prices! Cheers, Martin

Hi All, Really confused here with all this techie stuff! :oops: My fairly high spec Dell desktop is in my upstairs office; I have a variety of secondary hard disks for my work stuff and backup etc, all fine and dandy. I have a Netgear Router so that I can use my laptop around the house and it...
