Bl**dy Vodaphone

After my last visit to the Tooting shop they said it would be resolved in a couple of days. Some hopes. So a week later I phoned the help line again. Speak to a very nice Scots lass who sounds like she's phoning from some distant planet. Not a good start.

New 24x40 shop

That was issue no. 181 and there is(was) a video on the web site as well. The shop is the same size as the OPs. Also FWIW there was a workbench that inspired my current one.

Once upon a time there was a special glue for china

TV programs such as the repair shop show old glues being removed and practically invisible restoration quality glues being used to repair china/porcelain. Perhaps consult a museum restoration type web site to see what they use.

Re: examples of digital rip-off

It was some stupid story about a man going in to a shop one day to buy a TV. He bought the TV and *ASKED* for a lead to connect to his VCR, he was sold a SCART lead as *THAT IS WHAT HE WANTED*. His VCR did not have an HDMI connection!

"Electric car range anxiety to be cured by battery that charges in five minutes"

Have you never driven longer journeys "non-stop", with just pauses to visit the toilet and swap over drivers? Manchester to Dover, across to Calais, along to just past St.

electric hydraulic jack

Cheers Pop, thanks for your comments if you visit the web site it does mention that it can be run from a free standing12v battery using 2 croc clips into an adapter socket so it is portable. Price is a consideration Pop but it costs alot more than 30 pounds!

What do woodworkers like?

I uploaded my new tjwoodworking site so your link will go actually go to something. Mostly complete, just gotta add the shop dog pics, pics of the shop, links, and some more samples of work pics, improve some of the wording, etc. Mostly complete though.

Daisy-Chaining Light Bulbs: Wire?

Stapled along the beams, and no "free hanging" wire, right? Many shop lighting folks use 48 inch fluorescent fixtures.
