Funnily enough we did get in touch with our MP - he is actually very good and you will all know him from plebgate, which he was cleared of BTW. I am finding it incredible at the moment, I have to say I think in 12 months time it’s all going to do very wrong when people start defaulting on their 100%...

mark270981

I think I will explore it all further tomorrow

Thank you for taking your time on this it’s much appreciated

mark270981

It is a terribly thought out scheme, knee jerk reaction. I am not being a sour puss as I think help is required and needs to be given. So pre COVID I had 150k worth of work for a 6 week period which was lost over night so resulted in zero work. This gave 12 people full time work Granted I have furlo...

As I suspected I’m not eligible which is a shame.

It’s going to be too hard for me to come back from this without drastic actions.

I won’t be having 3/4 of the staff back - the company will be ok but I reckon there is a year to 2 years to get it back to where it was!

mark270981

Lovely and straight forward to do to be fair and very effective

mark270981

No - why?

mark270981

I have also applied but unsure what I am entitled to!

I have a rateable value of 49k so thought I would get the 25k but I think that this is only applicable to retail and leisure.

Thank you

I remember when I had to post the photos to a third party then link it back! This seems easier

Thanks for taking your time to do this

I will post up this evening

mark270981

If I knew how to post pics up I would. I have surplus to requirements a number of dust extractors compete with the older version of the LEX sanders - a couple are the 150’s and and other are 125’s These are pneumatic sanders in which are fed from the extractors which in turn is plugged not only into...

We use them all Bob.

I have loads of offcuts plus adhesive if that helps?

mark270981

Ahh I thought you were in Worcester or thereabouts.

I must pay more attention.

We could draw and spin the components off for that in no time.

If you want in the new year I will do it for you FOC if you buy the materials - I’ll do it whilst you wait.

I should post a vid of my workshop - it’s a little different from when I started in a garage

Has to be said we are wiz’s on CNC’ snow

I’m not sure what you are trying to achieve there Roger? But doesn’t look that pretty?

mark270981

As a CNc veteran I am unsure on the accuracy of home built ones? But I do wish I had done that to start with as I would’ve learned more about the . Instead every call I out I have costs 800 quid - (we don’t have many to be fair) Well worth it in my opinion as your starting point then you won’t get ...

mark270981

I wish you good fortune with your venture. I'm of a slightly different opinion and I don't mean any insult. If your skills are good and fast enough I would be amazed. Working doing joinery/cabinets is not easy at a pace and quality to make some money it is a skill you'll learn over several years. Y...

Seems very complicated to just run off some arcs!

mark270981

Very much horses for courses on this.

I can only help with heavy industrial if this is the route you’re going down.

mark270981

I can’t talk too much for domestic as we very rarely do it unless through a designer and even then it’s a PITA First of all you will need to work out your overhead. Electricity Your Wages Van Insurances Rates Accountancy fees Work clothes per year Etc etc etc. Work out how many hours production you ...

mark270981

Spons will be a good start!

I used this at uni - although I have to admit I flunked out within the first year!

An expensive book but will cover most industry standards

mark270981

Great question. Most items have industry rates. So for instance a standard bar is normally worked out on 1000 per metre the back fitting 800 a metre. If they want a copper worktop I will add this on as an extra over and likewise with other things such as raised and field panels. I am pretty certain ...

mark270981

Good luck

Have you worked out your selling price yet?

mark270981

Sounds like a lot of fun!

It’s been a while since I’ve been on the tools and I have to say I miss it terribly

mark270981

thatsnotafestool wrote:And a form for them to sign to say that they've been 'inducted' !

Yep for every single machine and power tool

mark270981

I bet every machine has a bible to go with it now in your workshop ! Did you have to pay them out yourself, or did your insurers ? Presumably also the claim would have been against your company, not you individually. The insurance company paid out the claim, I wanted it to go to court because we ha...

mark270981

You will also need to create a health and safety manual , risk assessments and method statements Every operative will need to have an induction on every machine too. There was an accident on a fully compliant machine of ours 5 years ago, I didn’t quite have enough paperwork in place so the claimant ...

Ive got a felder f38 power feeder on my planner and a co_matic dc 40 on the spindle. I'll score the co_matic at 9 The felder at 4......... I think the co matics are also cheeper than the felder (Scott and sargents)... I'd sell the felder, you fancy a trip to Spain ? Jonathan Where in Spain are you?...

mark270981

Maybe it is for you!!

I will go to W18! But I’ve run out of cash so won’t be as fun this year!

mark270981

Robert It seems like you are overcomplicating this process. 180 grit is fine enough, if you finish with a sanding block by hand with all the strokes following the grain, although the highest we go to is 240. Dye immediately after sanding, then build the layers of shellac up, de nib between coats wit...

mark270981

They do like to pester, in fact I sent an email to them a while ago saying that if they pester me / I won’t buy anything from them, it worked because I’ve spent over 200k with them since!!! I think they are a great brand, very strong - customer service is v good. If you could wait until October you ...

mark270981

nothing - they normally get in touch!

mark270981

I am guessing

When through tenons were used and the joint failed, you could re-wedge the joint and make good again.

These days apart from the traditionalists amongst us, the domino XL joint or similar is equal to or better than the joint described above!

mark270981

In all honesty I would steer clear from this - I’ve been on the receiving end of a claim which wasn’t our fault, had brakes, guards and was fully compliant. The only way I see a way round this - is to sell him the machines at full market value plus whatever you wanted to charge to use the space and ...

mark270981

I hope you’ve agreed your fees for the research and design!

mark270981

I can’t explain what I mean, I prefer to sketch things.

Tried to google some images to see if it helps and found this thread by our very own Roger M with answers from the forum experts who no longer post on this site - I am sure they lurk.

Integrated fridges don’t tend to have a cabinet housing, just a space for the fridge to slot into which is then fixed to the worktop above.
