There are a number of YouTube vids that show how to make jigs. I tend not to use a jig, just a G Clamp and a piece of batten - works for me :D

Not everybody's method of choice, but our two Border Terrorists like nothing better than a good rat hunt...

Have a look on YouTube, but I use a router, makes a really neat job.

I always thought steel was a no-no with oak?? Does the fact it is stainless make a difference?

[/url] I don't like the look of that. We have exactly the same rounded corner in our hall, it has been done with two 45 degree cuts, then backfilled and levelled. It looks great, clean tidy and neat.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5AzbDJ7KYI Yes indeed! Also, I think there was a piece on TV not so long ago about striped paint - it could have been the 1st of April, I can't remember...

I was asked to go and ask for a long stand once... Striped paint. Greased nuts. I will stop there I think :)

What was it my Granddad used to say??? "Buy cheap, buy twice" (I might have stolen that from someone else's Granddad)

Ooops... Ok, so I have some old tools. :oops:

Ahhhh... Fair enough. When you decide on a replacement, think about one with adjustable bubbles. Then when (you drop it again) it gets dropped by someone, you can fix it.

Can you not reset it??

Thanks B-A, Both sites are great for bits and bobs, but unless I am missing something, they don't do the larger pieces of equipment... No bandsaws or drill presses :(

Hi Guys and Gals, I need to replace an old bandsaw and buy a drill press. I am not a pro, but am a keen hobbyist/DIYer. I don't do too much really heavy work, mainly small woodwork projects and the occasional bit of light metal work. Has anybody had any experience with Axminster tools...

Been there, done this. I used to be able to reverse the car into the garage, lower the minisail onto the roof rack and drive out, all in about 10 minutes, no fuss, no bother. I have no comment about the load bearing ability (or otherwise) of your roof trusses. I am not a structural...

I bought one of these about a year ago - http://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-erb380rou-2100w-router-230-240v/81664 I am chuffed to bits with it. Just to say, I am only a DIYer, a keen one with some skills and experience when working with wood. I am NOT a pro, this machine might not be the...

Just a thought, but I assume the geography of your location doesn't allow for old fashioned syphonage? If you are going into a drain, it may be possible to get the outlet end low enough.

Plasticote (plastikote??) do a range of spray paints, although a lot of it is quite jazzy!! Bright colours and fluorescent being their main stock in trade, but you may find something to your taste. Hobby Craft tend to stock most of the range, and a few other ones if I remember rightly.

Thanks Tony, that's really helpful. Many years ago I used to race with a skipper who would insist on pumping the bilges every morning for 5 minutes, even though they were as dry as a bone - when asked why, he would say he was pumping out the gas. I used to have a laugh with any new members of...

I think I may have just stepped in to a parallel universe....... Get me out of here - pleeeeeeease

Personally, I am both arrogant and stuck-up! It is being so perfect that has got me this far in life...
