Thanks for your suggestion. It is definitely worth a look... I will just have to see how long the encoding takes. I don't necessarily need simple software, but I want something easy to use to do what I see as a quite simple edit ( i.e. I won't be using the bells and whistles, so it doesn't...

I've got some files that were recorded onto a memory card, which I would like to put on a DVD. I've transferred the filed to my PC, but now want to edit/trim the video before hopefully burning them onto a DVD. So far I've tried avidemux which saves the video as .mkv that I am not familiar...

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to go down the air gun route as I don't have a compressor. The cheapest mains powered ones only take shorter pins. I might be separating them to hammer in by hand or they will be making an appearance on ebay soon.

Does anyone know what the biggest size pins/nails a staple gun can take? I have considered getting a new staple gun as the one I have is broken/worn and can be unreliable. I also have loads of boxes of 16 gauge x 25 mm long pins/nails, so it makes sense to get a new one that allows me to use...

This would mean you couldn't take the doors off, but what about heavy duty ball bearing hinges? In the right place, to doors would fold back over 180 degrees. I'm I'm not sure what how much weight they could hold though - I'm sure other could advise. Alternatively, you could have sliding doors...

(y) I might have to give that a go one day. I completely agree, I've hand many pairs split or come apart alongside the ball of my foot where they have to flex. There went without warning though.

Anything to keep it upright, putting it in an empty bucket is better than nothing. Also, make sure the pressure is released using the valve - then check again, especially when it is hot weather.

That tube of sealant is more than I would spend on these boots - it might end up being a gaffer-tape-job! There were actually closer to £5 per boot! I've found what I had here, but they are also available here for more money :eek: I've had them just over 2 years - so the limited offer on...

I'll try a posting the links: Boot 1 Boot 2 Boot 3 They definitely aren't worth paying for a repair. The other boot seems ok as it seems better attached at the front and this one has worn away with kneeling. I just wondered if anyone had any suggestion for a cheap repair to get a bit more...

After a bank holiday digging up and replacing a stop tap, the sole on one of my boots has started to come away from themselves. They weren't expensive (ebay, but seller suggested £50+ as the rrp) so were possibly seconds. As one of the boots is still perfectly serviceable, can anyone...

It look like there is something printer on the round elbow - however it could just be a date stamp.

I what is there is working, you could us on of these: flex outlet plate. Something similar could have been there before and it got taken of when there was either a problem of they decorated and was never replace.

Leave it in a corner to rot and for the insects to enjoy.

I depends on how good you want to finish to look and if you mind being able to see that there has been damage in the past. You could build up layers on furniture wax or try some like wax repair sticks on it. If you are going to the effort of removing all brass work ten you might want to go to...

Have you thought of trying super glue and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda on the American websites) which could reinforce it underneath where it can't be seen. You could also reinforce it with plastic across the join - maybe some strips of nylon zip tie?
