Ta Bob, all is clear now.

Very well drawn, Bob!

I take it that it doesn't clean or repair dvd's/cd's well?

hahahahaha, no, at least i don't think so

i originally bought it to try and fix one of my son's playstation disks - that was all scratched etc.

didn't work

it comes with two things of fluid that you put on those light yellow wheels

norm, while those hinges and springs may look good from a distance, up close and personal they really don't
it's all an illusion
i don't even get too precise up close if it's not necessary from a distance

here's the spring assembly up close:

(thanks norm)

so what do you do with those benches? give them to family? sell them? how much?

**parahandy** · 17 July 2006, 07:09 PM

All my work is done for free, make the chairs for family, neighbours, if I get the timber free i.e. recycled etc.I make all sorts of things pergolas, nesting boxes,dog and cat kennels, carve signs (rough) japanese tori gates (no relation to Bill) hedgehog houses, corner cabinets so I am kept busy Bob.
I don't know if you have ever checked my website under woodwork. You can even see a wee film I made and of course hear me speak (what a treat) just click on the HLI badge on home page.

Nice Video Norman, good to hear poetry from a Scot such as yourself.

No offense, but you bear resemblance to my grandfather at that age. He was about 5 foot 8". He was a carpenter for the railroad when they used wooden box cars and had wooden interiors in some of the passenger cars.

Not the mmsstv button that;s for a slowscantv program.
On the first page under that button there is a Highland light infantry badge click on the badge Bob

Thanks Jamesmc I am not insulted at all. That's about my height now I used to be 5' 10" but shrunk a bit.
