It is certainly a useful tool, but as with all things (as Paul proves) it takes work to make it really worthwhile!

Re: A job for knockdown fittings ?

As in KD blocks? No...I'd prefer a hidden jointing system. I was going to say! The best thing i bought was the zeta P2 or whatever its called! If you have a local rep, just to ask borrow it for the duration of the job in hand then give it back when done and just say you’ll think about it.

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!
