So how do you suck these? And mallet testers too http://www.lidl.co.uk/gb/home.nsf/pa...e_Angel_Figure Notably they are restricted to the south west. It's wonderful, though. The co-ordination between seat cushion, table cloth, napkins, placemats, oven gloves and apron fall short only on the bin bags in which to pack these items for disposal at the tip with the Burberry products. -- ..andy |

Laminated woodwork could be veneer on the outside of a box or it could be gluing a few laminations together whilst bent, so that they stay that shape once dried. You can clamp up with clamps, but that's hard work. You also want to have a continuous even pressure, not a few point clamping forces - so you can use a "caul", a flexible sheet pulled tight over the job. If you use a plastic bag as the caul, and you suck the air out of the inside, then you can have a few psi clamping force over the whole thing, practically for free. It's also easier to make jigs that resitst being crushed, rather than ones that can hold a pressure bag expanding inside them. |

Yes, Spouse said he had time for his breakfast first so came home without the laser level. Serves him right for not taking notice of me. Not that he needed the level, it would just have been another toy to clutter the garage.. But he did spend on retractable knives, diamond sharpeners and a mitre saw because it's better than the one he lent a son. He has used that already (making a Mary Rose amputation saw) and is very pleased with it. Mary -- Rob |

So say you bought 3 of them so you can get 4 hours continuous use out of one of them and the chargers all failed one at a time, you'd have about 4 1/2 hours use for all your effort.

You set an alarm for +2C over room temperature, and stick a pan-scouring sponge (or something) over it, with a weight on it. Then just turn it off when it beeps. |

You're talking sh*te man, the brother in-law has one, these drills where on sale last year at £19.99 he's been using it for over 6 months and informs me its still working and charging. However its not my cup of tea but it will suffice the general joe public.
