I didn't view you as moaning, and I hate webmail forms too - you never know if they have got there, or what email address they go to. Hi David, Originally, we had our email address on our site. Over the years as our site grew, automated bots searched it for contact email address, which in turn was being used to send spam traffic. So we had to remove the email address from the site. This by itself was not enough, and such bots were still finding a way to use the contact area to get messages through, some of which had attachments which raised further security issues, which could effect our customers as well as us. To lower the risk, we had to introduce the much loved 'I am not a robot' box. I admit that it is not the best solution, but it does serve a purpose. If we find a better solution which can be implemented by our shop provider, we will use it. Until then, we can only apologise for the inconvenience. Ketan at ARC.
Ketan That's a fair point, and an obvious reason (when you know the answer)! |
Thread: New shed- bedding material |
12/06/2018 17:38:26 |
So, you have a fall on the slabs, do you want the shed to sit level, or just sit on the slabs and follow the fall? If you want the former, you will have to clarify how much the fall is, in order it is clear how much it needs to be jacked up/packed out on the lower side. If you just want to seal it with the frame sitting on the slabs as they are, with no height/level packing, I would use a generous application of acrylic frame seal - available in mastic gun tubes, and relatively cheaply. It will take up any uneveness, is waterproof, semi flexible, and long lasting. It needs to be well sealed, as otherwise water will sit on the uphill side of the fall and creep in under the edge of the shed. If you haven't already laid the slabs, if it were me I would not put a fall on them - but then it isn't my shed

We really should have just hung on to the Harriers They could probbly get 100 Harriers onto each carrier for the same money and they are combat proven It's all part of being British, lol
An obsolete aircraft that first went into service 49 years ago! Yes one might agree, but what are the current capabilities of the supposed enemy that currently exists. Plus one might ask - if it is so out of date, why has America bought some as well as India amd other countries. They obviously consider that the harrier still has a role to play.
Well, for a start, the Indian navy have also retired their Harriers. The American Harrier is a totally different kettle of fish. We didn't 'sell' them to the USA. The American version is the McDonnell Douglas (Boeing) AV-8B Harrier II, developed largely in the US under licence (we were one of the development partners, dropped out, then later rejoined).

Talking of strange decisions from MoD, I'd be interested why the first batch of single seat F35B's was flown 3000 miles from the US to UK with all of the discomfort and hazard for lone pilots, including in-air refuelling etc, when HMS Queen Elizabeth could have carried them across the Atlantic? She is on sea-trials at the moment, is designed to carry F-35's eventually anyway and would've been something useful she could have done. Jon
Easy one. The F35B's that were ferry flown in are for the RAF, 617 sqn, not the RN. QE is currently on sea trials for rotary wing, not fixed wing. QE will sail to the US later this year for trials involving her own F35B's.

That application is begging for Carbon Fibre Tube, if it had been available in the 60s the original designer would have used it for a tonearm
Ah, but that might change the tonal quality of the cartridge, and the sound output, currently devised around aluminium, in a negative fashion! |

I think that 'research tech' was Niels Bohr Clive and the gold was in the form of 2 Nobel Prize medals given to him for safe keeping belonging to Max von Loue and James Franke. As you say the gold was later recovered and the Nobel Foundation later recast the medals. regards Martin

Why don't you just phone them and ask for an email address instead of moaning on here. I have a severe speech impediment, that makes using the phone difficult, but thank you for your kind advice, must remember never to ask for help here again, from you anyway.
Feel free to carry on asking for help, 99.9% of the time you will get sensible rather than blunt and unhelpful replies I didn't view you as moaning, and I hate webmail forms too - you never know if they have got there, or what email address they go to. |

I'm intrigued - how does a Super 7 go from expensive brand-new to needing that many replacement parts? Dave
And I am intrigued as to where the 'expensive brand new' came from? |

I set the speed at 250rpm, did not dare to go any faster because it would start vibrating above 300rpm
There's a clue there. You don't have a fly cutter there, you have a NASA astronaut centrifuge! **LINK** But seriously, I have a WM18, and it would just feel wrong to put a fly cutter with that swing on it, especially without a way of accurately counterbalancing it. That's a lot of rotational mass flying round in relation to the size of machine. And to get it to cut accurately, with around a 10" swing, is a tall ask too.

As a commuter, I spent 41 miserable years travelling by train daily. As a result, and having now retired, I for one do not have much interest in full sized trains, steam or not! |
