digging spike - where can I get one

A specalist tool shop, not you B&Q's but a pro tool shop, normally found on industrial estates, and where you empty your wallet several times over - cause of all the sexy toys. There is one in Chester behind B&Q if you are in that sort of area. I reckon any half decent smithy will ...

OT: Flat panel TV's

At one shop I was shown a corner where there were many returned sets - people had bought ones that were too big and had returned them for something smaller. Apparently the sales people can wager who is going to buy the biggest one within seconds of them entering the shop.

NEANDER BOOK bargain

Was in at Borders Books, on Saturday, and found Roy Underhill's "The Woodwright's Shop, Exploring Traditional Woodcraft" on the 'bargains' table at the outrageous price of $7.99.

Dropped a Half-sheet SANDER on the floor....

Jay, I used to work in a cabinet shop and we had half a dozen of these PC sanders. They are tough, but not indestructible. You probably bent the motor armature. Don't despair, though, as long as you didn't crack the housing it can be fixed.

Wire and Circuit Size for 230V Shop Tools

The voltage drop issue is probably one of the most compelling reason to run a sub panel into your shop. Load diversity will tend to even out the load and the feeder can handle the start up current over the long haul distances. You machine drops stay short.
