I am thinking that a lot of them have cupboards there.. so instead of cupboards put a few bunks. This would only be small bunks while my daughters are under 10 yrs.

I am supprised .

I usually use cooking oil? What about that works a treat and don't have to worry about any contaminations in the air etc when blowing the thread clean.
Also use it for drilling too..

Hello Guys

I know this is probable not the right forum – but from my last post about making a large hole for my sausage stuffer I am building – it seems that a few of you have had experience in...

That is a great idea (why didn't I think of that)... I will put some pics up once I have completed - be a few weeks away.. (too much going on)

Hello Guys..

But is it legal?

Just on TritonJapan's comment - I better go home and check that slide again I wouldn't have thought the saw was over 400..

Hmm I can't remember the model (I'm at work at the moment) but it is the length that does not even come near fitting even at max length.

Might see if I can make up a slide mount shouldn't be...

Thanks for the advice 10 foot that does not leave a lot of room for the drawbar - would a 3 foot be abit small? I suppose backing the trailer would be a nightmare.

I have always wondered but is it legal to put a towbar on a trailer and tow two trailers??

Yeah its got all that - wonder if the colourbond capping is doing anthing.A few people have told me that laser light just does this - nothing can be done about it - find that hard to belive.

thxI didn't actually put it up - but looking from below looks like there is a 10ml ish hole drilled that the teck screw is in. Is that what you meen or are there special screws?cheers.

Hello GuysDoes anyone have any idea how to stop Lazer light (think it is Lazer light 2000) from making so much creaking noise - it is driving my batty?cheers.

Thanks gents
