Any one else have problems with Jewsons?
Construction Channel replied to Leaway's topic in Building Materials
I usually laugh at the idea of buying silver line/faithfull/einhell products for professional use, But in fairness i did buy a silver line airline first fix nail gun in as a last resort and it has been annoyingly very good..... makes me winder why i just bought a nice new (ex demo) paslode second fix. -
results from tonights shower. Faye's towel weight before : 634g after: 663g Ed's towel weight: before: 504 after: 557 things to be considered, Faye didn't wash her hair ( i will get results for this tomorrow) whereas I did. I wiped myself down in the shower whereas Faye didn't. my towel was a lot warmer, fluffier and smaller than Faye's (doubt any of these make much difference but they were observations i made) I have got a LOT more hair not on my head than Faye has

Iv been wearing some snickers ones for best part of a year now and they are holding out well. previous cheaper ones always seem to "deflate" after a few months, http://www.sibbons.co.uk/product/6098/0//f3b51237e8e4a7a95dfe92783b29c161?gclid=CjwKEAjwzKPGBRCS55Oe46q9hCkSJAAMvVuMU-PiOwRMaZF1PUj03kGPe0swxw7E1SLLwuzmUo32zRoCsZHw_wcB If anyone else has an opinion on these more expensive ones i would be keen to hear it. are they really twice as good???? http://www.hall-fast.com/safety-at-work/workwear/snickers/snickers-accessories/snickers-9191-xtr-d3o-kneepads/?gspid=116387&infinity=ict2~net~gaw~ar~79294099048~kw~~mt~~cmp~Storage and Shelving Shopping~ag~SS Storage Racks&gclid=CjwKEAjwzKPGBRCS55Oe46q9hCkSJAAMvVuMpdOayGHSPB1Q35Fp7_G9Biz1PMXSfH0A2JkEpk4UwRoCzbrw_wcB#.WMmzgbGcZTY

it is easier to keep the cuts square on thinner boards. but that is the only reason i can think of. unless you are using a table saw which will have to be very big to cut 140mm and no its not acceptable, possibly if they had used a few larger off cuts just to fill the last few studs but those 25mm strips really are taking the piss.

not the most thrilling of videos but it all needs documenting -
I have used them before (accidentally) and TBF the 2 missing items were remedied without question so i shouldn't really slate them, BUT my preferred company is BP plastics http://www.plasticdrainage.co.uk because they are localish and as they were the first people i ordered from so i don't see a reason to be disloyal. This is where the "accidentally" part comes in I wanted some additional bits so googled Bp drainage, clicked the top link, ordered the bits i wanted, took delivery of all but 2 items and waited for the second delivery, It took longer than i thought so i phoned the Bp plastics number i already had on my phone and asked when they were coming, That is when i found out that plastic express are paying to be above Bp plastics in the search ratings, even if you specifically search "BP Plastics" and i was not the first person to phone BP up and query an order from PE. Im sure its just the way business works but i thought it was a bit underhanded, So because of this I now hold a small grudge against Plastic express. Nothing on the scale of screw fix but enough for me to mention it and push others towards http://www.plasticdrainage.co.uk the real BP plastics. HTH Ed

Sorry guys Iv Just got back from Bulgaria and I am in no fit state to do much. That makita looks to be a decent price but also looks a bit flimsy IMHO. we use an older 110v volt version of this for work and i have been very impressed with the build quality, https://www.its.co.uk/pd/MLT100X-Makita-Table-Saw-with-Stand-_MAKMLT100X.htm?gclid=CjwKEAiA3NTFBRDKheuO6IG43VQSJAA74F77TuGAy8PLMjs1D3OLfEBYj8DmDeTL-fv9PnyiHIiMwBoCY7jw_wcB I suppose it all depends how much you are planning to move it around. Edit: Looks like this is the actual model......possibly a bit on the pricey side.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Makita-2704-110v-260mm-Table-Saw-/351926088792?hash=item51f06df458:g:uCQAAOSw2xRYV~j7

does anyone remember that i had made a big tent on the end of my barn to lay bricks under that managed to survive the last 3 storms perfectly fine? Well it didn't this time, Smashed a decent sized hole in the asbestos barn next to it and snapped a bunch of the legs holding it up. it was great fun trying to dismantle it when i got home from work, while Doris was still trying her hardest to piss me off, in twilight.... Oh and a bunch of my felt is now flapping in the wind, Its too dark to do anything about now and I'm leaving for the airport tomorrow at 04:00 I think its safe to say I will not be naming any of my children Doris!!
