So the Chancellor has said they are going to replace 15000 different qualifications with 15. So I guess we will be known as the country with skilled Jack of all trades and master of non. I guess that the civil service thinks that this will work for them, as it will keep them in jobs handing...

This came up in the thread about scroll saws and as was quite rightly pointed I caused the thread to go off topic by asking this question there. So should we have a machinery section, like the hand tool one. It could even be machinery and power tools. I think it would be a good thing as...

Have looked through the posts on these sort of saws and can only find post about people wanting them for there small workshops. We could do with a saw of this type or site work and having never had one before I am wondering which one to buy, budget up to £800.00. Needs to cut well, be easy to...

I was watching TV last night and an advert for BUPA care homes came on. The animated man said " I won a medal in the war ". I immediately assumed he meant WW2. He then went on to say he was 83, this would mean he was 16 in 1945 and therefore too young to fight. My first thought was the...

Well after years of watching F1 on ITV and then the BBC, another thing I like to do is being taken away so that Murdoch can earn more money to pay people to hack more phones. Why do we have to pay a licence fee when you then have to pay Sky to watch things that should be free to air. I hope...

About to have a bit of a clear out to raise funds for a new saw bench and while I have an idea of the value of most of the stuff that is going on ebay, I have some wooden moulding planes of various shapes and sizes to sell. What are the makers to look out for on them so I can list them to get...
