Seems like I'm a still young un compared to most of you lot

My last company did like J. Stevenson and kept the spare wheels of the replacement vans and fitted them on a specially home made carrier, I was the first to have a puncture and discovered the flaw in their ingenuity.

I volunteer to spin them up with the traditional bit of string but only if the contest is held within 10mile of my hoose

Precision with Araldite shirley means that you can stick the bits together exactly where you want to, unless you mess it with precision i.e. the parts will be stuck in the wrong place relative to each other with no gap to get anything into the join to prise it apart

Maybe it could mean less cleaning off cos you won't get it all over the place like I normally do.

Always remember to run without the Local Exhaust Ventilation when attacking steel, the dust bags dont like the sparks and draught much. I know what happens

Too high tech cutting nowadays, at work i use a rule or tape measure to set fences then cut in to an offcut, check the size and adjust if necessary and check again.

Seems to work every time spot on.

Just as the little darling skoolkids deserve

Whatever will they think of next, cornflakes with milk ready poured on?

I'm saying nothing as i have opinions on anything and everything, nobody seems to agree with me ( even in the wide world outside this forum ) so I read the forum and learn and adopt and adapt what I read and quietly get on with my life.

P.S. I have read all this thread, some good stuff in it and some dubious stuff (my opinion) and probably some of it downright wrong so I leave it up to yourselves to decide whats what and keep it to yourselves, unless I have got something wrong.

Nice one Bill

Spent the afternoon doing exactly that the old fashioned way - 4.8 metres around rectangles with a tenon saw

only another 8.3 metres to go.

You want a quote from me - " do it yourself "

I blame the the delays on low steam pressure at my end

VERY big -- -- a 1 : 1 scale ? ? ? perhaps.

All them protons flying around in a vacuum in Trafalgar Square with excited Caesium at the speed of light is a bit of overkill to measure how thick a short lump of wood is to see if it is actually a plank.
