  1. Hardly fair. Your ad has sod all information! I'd be interested to see the page hits:enquiries ratio for your ad against other ads.
  2. I wouldn't say so. A new angle, perspective, approach (and without the potential bias of having always done it like this) can come from anyone.
  3. You could flip the bar and see if a cut bannanas the other way.
  4. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OnsVDKjhpc]YouTube - The Straight Story - Official Trailer[/ame] Another good one someone just reminded me of is Leaving Las Vegas. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMlYWZgCIgo]YouTube - LEAVING LAS VEGAS - HQ Trailer ( 1995 )[/ame] The trailer makes it look a bit **** and isn't a true taste of the most desperately sad film out there.
  5. If you like Shawshank try Forrest Gump, A River Runs Through It and The Straight Story (though don't expect too much from A River... if you watch the others first).
  6. Work with height differences and conveyors/slides. Something as simple as a table and/or a pit could have gravity moving stuff sideways and a vehicle moving stuff upwards.
  7. How close to the ground can you get the bottom end?
  8. Sunny but baltic in Suffolk. Rayburn is still going.
  9. Cool. Is the height adjustable at all?
  10. ...and that you'd be allowed to do if you were born earlier. The 1997 age lottery irritates me something chronic. I sent the following to my MP and am chasing hard. I encourage others to do the same. Dear My MP, I obtained my bog standard car driving licence after 01.01.1997 which allows me to drive cars, lorries <3500kg, tractors, mowing machines and mopeds (with trailers <750kg behind the car/lorry/tractor). People who obtained their licences before 01.01.1997 automatically got the parts on their licence allowing them to drive the same, as well as lorries <7500kg and minibuses, trailers >750kg on both and vehicles to which parts L and N refer (UK Driving Licence Checks | Driving Licence Checking | Driving Licence Verification Service from Licence Check). Terrified, clinging-to-the-wheel, forgotten-where-the-brake-pedal-is pensioners who got their licence from the post office between the wars can drive a minibus of 17 victims with a couple of tonnes of trailer on the back. My mother and a friend of mine, quite careless women of 64 and 41 respectively who often bump into flowerpots on the driveway, can happily terrorise those on pavement corners with a long wheelbase lorry loaded to the gunwales. I, a quite able and practical 23 year old, who would find it very useful indeed to be allowed to drive small lorries and minibuses to do stuff like picking up machinery or taking groups of scouts on camping trips (the sort of things that stand to benefit the economy and well rounded society), can't because of some age lottery. If the 1997 change hadn't been made fewer people would be driving chronically overloaded Transit vans because they don't have the part on their licence for a bigger (safer) vehicle (and don't fancy shelling out £1000 - £1500 for it) and fewer people would be driving vehicles they just don't have a licence for. Also, it would be easier for people to get into jobs where these sorts of vehicles are used (and indeed would save organisations like schools a fortune having to put teachers through minibus tests). I'd like you to speak to whoever you think would have a sympathetic view to my plight, particularly people responsible for jobs, employment, the economy etc. Letting people do more stuff = people do more stuff = economy does better if the Country isn't sat on its red-taped hands. Please keep my abreast of how you get on. Yours sincerely, AHPP

    Flat Belts

    I have a flat belt on a saw bench that is the current bane of my existence. Bloody thing just keeps breaking alligator joints. Apparently Firestone do rubber flat belts (would be interested to hear of any others available) but would rather sort it in house before spending money. Has anybody had any joy with sewing flat belts?
  12. Whatever you make in life, you have to start with a hole.
  13. Making holes (however in whatever) and, very occasionally, washing up!
  14. Absolutely not worth worrying about. Apologies for the lack of scientific answer you may have been hoping for.
  15. Is there a list of every piece of legislation being considered?
  16. No great shakes but if you do want to spruce it up flake it into a mesh bag (pillowcase will do) and put through the washing machine.
  17. Be fair. He spoke from his own experience and opinion. Nothing wrong there.
  18. Lifeventure : Thermal Mugs Good size. Worth having a couple.
  19. Wrap where you want to cut in tape and cut through the middle of the tape wrap and the rope with a hot knife Leaves pre-taped ends and spreads less). Hot knife is a knife held in a flame or go to a climbing shop and ask them to do it with an electric one.
  20. So restricting the airflow to gain higher temperature and let the ceiling slope draw air through?
  21. I was under the impression that airflow was key. Is it a matter of the enhanced baking effect being more useful than the airflow?
  22. Anything? Finding a lot on carbide and CNC grinding but not what I'm after.
  23. Do you mean the tunnel runs East-West to get the wind blowing in one end and out the other or the tunnel runs North-South and the wind blows into one side?
