I works in Beeston. :D small world. I commute from leicestershire every day, 50 mile round trip. when the schools are in term it takes an hour in the car but only 35 minutes on a scooter. :shock:

A mate of mine is doing a charity banger rally from Lands End to John O'Groats in aid of the RNLI - http://www.end2endrun.com/index.esp They decided this year to turn their car into a space shuttle 8-) I won't bother with too any descriptions as it's simply cut to shape and screwed...

Seeing the kids enjoy it must make all of the hours well worth it! Great result and well done =D>

He's a springer! They don't do laid back! :lol: Only joking! He's beauty 8) He'll be fine. He's a gun dog! Ours was about 3 months old when his first firework night came along. We stayed in because we were worried about leaving him alone with the noise. He sat at the door happy as a pig in...

simply fantastic =D> The attention to detail is outstanding! 8)

I can't believe it's so long since I started this :oops: I've had a big tidy up in the 'shop this week and I've built my bench since I began this so I thought it was time to finish this one off! 8-) It's all glued up. I need to decide on a catch/clasp/lock for the outer box and then decide...

I'd agree with that completely, but then I was well up for ID cards until that got scrapped. People worry about "ID theft" and the rights to privacy but surely if it stops or catches one murderer or paedophile then it'd be worth it. I would worry about what people have to hide if they blankly...

In another similar story a guy got done a few years back for pee-ing up a wall in the street whilst drunk! His DNA was taken and he was found guilty of a rape 6 years earlier. Fantastic technology!

I bought a desk fan from the co-op a few years ago. I had to assemble it myself and the thread for the nut holding the blades was "knackered" so I couldn't screw it on. I took it back and got a replacement. The replacement was the same!!!!! :x I took that one back and took a third one home...

Now finished and in the living room where it will live!

No bench drill yet so I just used a battery drill and a spade bit. I clamped things together and drilled each hole through the 2 sections in one go. Then I numbered everything up so that if they weren't perfectly square then they would still work together ;) It worked out well 8)

Vaseline with sawdust.......... ouch! :oops: :shock: :lol: It came out of my toolbox that I'd not opened for ages. I seem to remember having it for the gearbox bearings on my old scooter :? I must tidy up more! :roll:

That's the best one yet! Nice work DW ;)

I decided to build myself a side table for the living room. I started with some planed timbre and went from there. glued up the 4 strips to make up the top piece - Drilled the frame pieces for dowel pegs - And then the glue-up - Planed the top piece - Tidy up the frame, fix...

Nice work. It looks very smart ;)

sorry, maybe I wasn't clear on what I was trying to get across, "Hoodies" are banned from shopping centres - no questions asked! Baseball caps banned from pubs - no questions asked! Should the burka be banned? - all of a sudden there's a difficult question because of the religious aspect. As...

I agree entirely. Yet shopping centres ban people wearing "hoodies" because everybody who wears one is obviously in there to mug people and nick from the shops! Pubs ban people wearing baseball caps because the cameras cannot see their faces, yet because the Burka is symbolic of religion, we...

Has anybody used the cheapo versions of these that are available on the 'bay? I just wondered if the were worth the gamble for the odd time i'll wanty to use them?

I'm sure others will be along with more accurate advice but my first impression is that those rates seem a little too cheap to me. You need to be competitive to get your "foot in the door" so to speak, but some people can also be put off if you are too far under everyone else. They adopt the "...

We've always found "Hi-Knox" drill bits to be the best for stainless. We always drill in bursts rather than slowly and continuously. The important thing as mentioned above is to not let the stainless get hot. Plenty of lube or cutting agent will help with this. hth
