Bill, as Wheelin suggested & I forgot, a circular polarizing filter will really make the sky, (if you can see it,) a standout blue against the snow. They are also great for cutting out reflected...

Gedday Bill, if you're going to the South Island you should see plenty of snow. We were in Queenstown last Christmas & there was a light dusting on the peaks on Christmas night. (40 deg here in...

I had to throw my cheap Ozito 3rd sheet sander away on the weekend, went BANG (mechanically) Big Time.
The second bang was when it hit the floor after I chucked it. (About 2 milliseconds after the...

Now back to the original question, try a studio, a large format camera with a better than very good lens (read expensive, probably a lot more than your canon/nikon that seem to attract so much one...

Christopha, have a look at Scanpan FAQ's at scanpancookware.com.
Just for those who haven't come across Scanpan, they are not your usual teflon coated cr@p non stick stuff.
Just to clarify, they...

When 16K was all the go. (Or even before that when memory was $1/byte)
When 9600baud was gee whiz.
When it broke you were expected to be there 10 minutes before hand.
When you could read the data...

First glance she's spinning clockwise. An idiot test I did a few years ago suggests I should see her spinning the other way.
Uh Oh. Now I'm really confused!
Which way was that saw blade going...

Don'tcha just luv Wild D's thought process?
Wotaway to keepyer shed!!
Me? I can't spray the redbacks, I don't want to hurt the gecko's!

Thanks Zelk,
the Specialist also said if you see lots of flashes all over, it could be a sign of bleeding so get it checked NOW!!
Ernie.

Gedday Cliff,
same thing happened to me a couple of months ago (when I blinked). Freaked me out. Went to the Doc & then a specialist. It was what Zelk said. The flash has gone, but I still can't...

From memorythe magic number is 282.
282/mpg = L per 100Km
282/L per 100Km = mpg.
Can't remember where I found it but I use it when travelling just because I can - and mpg still makes more sense...

It is pleasing to see there are still people willing to manipulate their camers's controls to make photographs rather than point & shoot and take snaps.
The answers are all there, Jack.

I was listening to a bloke from the observatory this morning. Apparently it only appears to be a perseid meteor shower. The shower is because the Earth is passing through the dust from comet Tutt....

Gee thanks Woodcutta, I knew those 20 something years fixing (biggish) computer systems (& checking the sparkies work before switching on anything,) would pay off one day!

Ernie.

Also check the mains fuse/ circuit breaker holder to see if it's hot when the problem occurs.
I've seen a few of them, (even turned to carbon,) on household & heavier duty bus bars & boards. ...

Try Ohms law. (I=E/R)
With zero volts there is no differential between + & - (DC) or active & neutral (AC).
No differential = no emf = no current.
The resistance in a cable is affected by its...

Bought an 1800W B&D the other day. Have so far only used it to convert about 50mm of 50mm pvc into a squared off bracket shape formed around a bit of 2x1 timber. (2 sides & top.) Worked well....

I had an auto darken helmet some time ago. I don't do a lot of welding but before every use I took it outside & 'flashed' it at the sun to check it was working. One day it wasn't. Damn. Back to the...

gedday Steve,
yes it is a combination blade.
The first thing I cut with it was some old 20mm jarrah. It was so quiet (after the original ) I pulled it back out to make sure it was cutting it & not...

I bought one these a while back. The first change I made, after getting some feedback from this forum, was to dump the blade and replaced it with a 24 tooth torquata from Timbecon. (I also got a 60...

Gedday Ross, I did reply sooner but it seems to have got lost in hyperspace.
The saw is Ryobi ETS1526AL & the blade is in O.K. & spins the right way.) The wood ispretty rough, from pallets or...

Thank you Gents. The timber is 50x100x1200. The saw is 254mm.
As soon as the blade height was mentioned I recalled reading this somewhere. (Used to using a CS with minimum blade showing!)
The...

While you are all on the subject, I have just started using a TS. (One at the lower end of the price range.)
I have some recycled pine I have been ripping & the TS seems to struggle a bit although...
