Thanks
-
Thanks thats all some excellent points he can use, we had a look at some of the advertisers on the right of the page last night and its good to see one of his ideas is totally different to what they sell, now thats not saying its any good but it shows he is thinking.

I worked with a bloke who bought two pigs, got sawdust bedding from a pallet factory, slaughtered pigs had passed fit for human consumption but he was ill after eating it, so off to the lab who said were did you get this meat its full off PCP ( timber praservative) and not fit to eat. So as mentioned above contamination can be an issue you may not have even considered. The Briquettes is a good idea
-
Remember ist a school project so he has to explore many ideas and dismiss them so a 12v fan could be in one end of the kit bag to force air through, I know it possibly won't work but its another point he can write about.
-
Has no one got a saw dust heater?
-
Why not use this sort of thing? Car 6 Amber LED Flashing Grill Lights Bar Strobes Warning Recovery Breakdown 12V | eBay They take a bit more time to fit,in the past we have fitted them to roof racks, concealed in the grill etc
-
Well we did have an idea of how to make a water proof bag with ventilation, again its idea as thats all he needs but it can be done
-
Thanks, now we didn't think of ventilation!
-
Thanks I think I remember it tells you it must be stored correctly but like many others docent tell you how, but no doubt will mention away from contaminants, UV etc.
-
To be honest if it was me I would MOT it assuming a station can and would test it? And have some sort of traceable service record. If you ever have an accident or get a VOSA check you are doing above and beyond what you legally need to so it would be harder for them to take any action against you
-
Very sad, could some one follow up so we can see what went wrong so we can avoid it in future? No matter what job we do we always need to be on the ball and just take a moment to think if this went wrong what could I do.
-
Thanks I will pass it on, he has to come up with several variations even the bad ones and then show his final selection and say why, its not all about coming up with the best product its more showing how he dismissed some ideas and kept others. One idea at the moment is similar to the camera back pack with compartments etc, one is a big tote tray

Hello My 17 Year old son is a keen climber, he has to design and prototype a new product for his A level DT project. He is thinking of climbing equipment bag / case that could be used by climbers tree surgeons etc, the idea being its all in one place easier to transport etc. So how do you store your Ropes carabiners etc? Is there a bit of legislation he could mention as I am sure something will say Equipment must be stored correctly?
-
Thats excellent, I learnt many years ago whan I was an apprentice, its very good to see so I will do a few eyes later this week so I dont forget
-
Thanks for the PMs I will pass them on
-
Hello A good friend of mine has a large tree that needs some pruning, he is near the Liverpool Airport, any one local?
-
Thats spot on. I look at some engineers we meet and to be honest most havent got a clue until they have 5 years of the right experiance under there belt. You will no dount see people who just dont know things you think they should. I have seen people running training courses who are not very experianced in the subject they are teaching, so you alos have to look at the quality of training, its difficult for people like Ed but the way to progress is to work for some one else.

THanks
-
Thanks should be £1000. How do I ammend it?
-
Could you not just farm any Mog type work out for a small cut? They could go in as you if need be? I might be talking rubbish, but If I had a Mog I would be sorry to see it go, but its just another operating cost
-
Quote its a fact that our industry is undervalued, Quote I agree many industrys are and people wonder why we have a decline in skilled people
-
Thats fine we all have our own opinions Any profit is a good one I agree, but some times you need a certain profit to make it all worth while, many people could earn more shelf stacking in Asda etc but choose another role as its what they prefer to do. The wifes tool sales is slow and a small profit, but on the other hand what else could we do to bring a few quid extra in? We coulnt live off it but we save it and spend it on the kids holidays etc I help out with a lot of the work on my days off but only because I cant get any other part time work around school hours.

Ad placed please form an orderly queue LOL
