Moderators,

There are spam adverts in the Classifieds again.

You dont appear to have any adverts in the classified section Iain. Did you make a mistake with the posting?

Do you have a link to the announcment please?

Scam i would say.

Delete it.

I find this covers almost everything i need

Hi Tim,

If you are anywhere near the east midlands i have a scope that i can lend you.

Hi Luke

It is the table off a floor standing Star.

I have a spare bench top table if you wanted to swap?

Regards

Paul

Do you have a link to the kit?

You can also specify which search engine should be used.

Thanks for the suggestions.

The baton is tapered and is 3.8mm at the break point. Normally the only stress it encounters is being wafted through thin air!

I'm going to try the Dremel idea of Jason's, then ally welding rod and araldite.

I may post the result later if its not too shameful.

Thank you Clive, i hadn't considered grinding it.

A friend of mine is a Band Leader and has snapped his conductor's baton. He has asked if i can repair it as it was a gift from his good Lady.

As you can see in the photo the break is not clean. my idea is to cut it clean and insert a metal rod (its hollow) and bond it back together.

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions as to how to get a clean cut through Carbon Fibre?

Thanks in advance

You could have a look HERE

The loupestore.co.uk they seem to cater for every need / budget.

I have smart meters for gas and electricity. My supplier is (after Peoples Energy went bust), British Gas.

To be honest I cant see any downside. I can see a graphical representation of how much energy I'm using at any given time. This can help if you save money by prompting you to check what you have left switched on inadvertently. We had an electric heater in our conservatory that our cleaner had switched on by mistake. It was apparent that something was amiss and, as we don't use the conservatory in winter, could have been left on for weeks!

With reference to the energy companies using variable tariffs, I'm not sure that the meters are 'Smart' enough. On the British Gas meter, the sampling rate can be set to 30 mins, daily or monthly. This, I think, makes it a pretty blunt tool from a monitoring point of view.

I printed some cookie cutters for the grandkids. They did not survive the dishwasher. (cookie cutters, not the Grandkids!)

Thanks for the info John.
