Going legal can end badly in a lot of cases, to claim constructive dismissal you have to leave the job as soon as any changes to your working conditions take place or it is considered that you have...
MEK works very well Peter, not too unpleasant to work with and air dries very quickly (usual no confined spaces stuff), IPA is less harsh but sometimes leaves tiny smears.
I use MEK on focal lens's...
He sounds like the sort of person that get's bosses bad reputations, I love my staff, they work hard and make me money (and some for themselves) all the lasers, machines, buildings etc can all be...
Be aware that some drill shanks are left in the soft state and may not last very long (as well as bending if struck)

Depends on circumstances,The position that you work in was being made redundant.
What your employer needed to demonstrate is whether the decision to make you as the person in that position...
I hear that Peter ;) the 75 was indeed very good (unless it was being pointed at you at the time)

I think it's down to expectation as well Dennis, I'm going to be having a ring made for my wife and I'm fully expecting that to cost me plenty. I'm not just buying a ring the way I see it, I'm buying...
Correct on both, sadly I don't see it changing anytime soon.
An example
Price of 3mm Clear Cast Acrylic sheet 3020mm x 2040mm from Perspex UK
£71.86 + VAT + Delivery

They already do Dennis, they just don't call it by name :) Take business to business sales, they can quote prices without VAT but retail sales are required to show the full price. A fair few...
Cutting charges usually depend on the full size of a given material, I use a lot of perspex and order in 3m x 2m sheets, if I wanted say 2m x 2m then the supplier may be stuck with a 1m x 2m offcut...
Yup that's the ones Peter, I have a set that I have ground the ends for inserting diodes, very strong considering they are coated GRP. Although a little bulky for Rings I'd imagine they are easily...
Knipex pliers maybe Peter?
The 1,000 / 1,500 HV rated versions are glass reinforced polymer, strong but don't "nick" parts, could also be filed or sanded to suit a purpose? (cheap as well)

Hiya Peter,
At first redistribution by the noted manufacturer, they also have to have the noted manufacturers contact details on them.(as well as compliance with cylinder choking tests...
True but baby toys made from potentially toxic material that presents a choking hazard as well as not being CE marked probably is :) I'd guess they use the "but we are just a venue" excuse.

Show me somebody who claims to never have made a mistake and I'll show you a liar :)
I tend to look at it, learn from it then just move on, not much in this life gets under my skin, I guess...
Hi Anna,
Carmarthen I expect, I did look at a lovely place (http://www.upmarketpropertywales.com/module_files/00494-UPW_Llystroiddyn-Partics%2003-PHOTOSonly.pdf
But the surrounding ground was...
Some of the finest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I love the Welsh, so friendly.
I'm hoping to move to Wales in the future when work is quieter and less general family stuff to...
See that's what I call a skill, something sadly my day job doesn't need :(
Maybe it's just a love of hand crafted items and not commercial realism that makes me feel this way.
Or maybe I'm...
I think we may have eaten some of the same dirt Peter so Romsey will indeed be my first port of call ;)

I fully agree even though my day job involves using the latest technology, even now there are moves for metal loaded UV resins for 3d printers...give it a few years and any skills I had as an...
Ironic really, Common Sense doesn't seem to be that Common these days :)
For Epoxy I use the same method as you Peter, gentle heat from a hairdryer or hot air gun usually breaks the most stubborn...
Always makes me giggle :) They are both Cat 3 Carcinogens, along with
Chlorinated Drinking Water

Hey Peter, yup it's me :)
I needed something more taxing than chopping up MDF and answering broken laser questions all day, it was your cufflinks you posted on the laserscript forums that made me...
