I think noggins would be easier. Attach a noggin to the first rafter and the last, join them with your track (or straight edge) and then go back and attach the noggins on the other rafters in between. The rafters won't be dead straight anyway so your profiled piece of wood would just follow the...

Can't you just drop some noggins vertically off the side of the rafters to give a flat vertical surface that you could attach to?

How accurate does the profile have to be?

We've not really had a Tory government for the last 14 years. We had a Con/Lib coalition, and then we've had a series of centrist liberals as prime minsters, none of whom have been effective. The only prime minister who could claim to be conservative was Liz Truss, and she tried to do too much...

Brass with olives all day long.

The wood yard near me is a more helpful than yours then :( If you want to do the job yourself, you'd need a table saw. Just make sure that the depth of cut is sufficient for what you need with the blade at the 40 degree angle you want.

Big Pharma may have big profits (though they also take big risks), and as with all organisations, there will be some bad apples. But you've made my point perfectly with regard to public services being less efficient than privately operated services. If the NHS with its huge buying power can't...

Except we don't and if we did, they wouldn't be as advanced as the Pharma companies we have. We're not exactly flooded with new and effective drugs from China and Russia, are we......

If we didn't have Pharma companies we wouldn't have statins, blood pressure medications, HIV treatments, cancer drugs etc etc. and all the other medications that have helped billions of people.

There’s a massive difference between football hooliganism and anti semitism. Can you imagine if it had been a Sikh being told that he might be arrested because he wanted to cross a national front march? Probably not, because Jews are treated differently to other minorities.

What the police should have done, is escort the Jewish man across the road to where he wanted to go.
