Thanks for posting, Here is mine over the week end, It really works !

Iv never been in this position before.

What are the rules on asking you permission to post my copy of your Ladder easier to move ible ?

I would certainly give ample credit to your inventive skill
This was a first project that I made without ever leaving my workshop,
all the materials were at hand :)

If you say NO then I will not post.

Your ible is way better than some of us deserve! After reading some of the comments, I think my first rule of soldering is to make sure item under test is not under power. My second rule is to ensure that all parts to be soldered are clean. Third is making a good mechanical connection if possible. Fourth rule is use the proper flux, and solder for the job. Fifth rule apply the proper amount of heat. Usually this involves available heat plus time heat is applied. Also one could employ heat sinks, buy em or make em. Have a nice day.

Have you posted the most instructables on this site?

I own a power drill and a dremal, but I am not too sure what to do with the dremal lol, it just sounded so cool on TV, that i had to have one. That was when I turned 40...I'm 52 now and still haven't made any projects. Any ideas anyone? something off beat and artsy would really interest me. :0)

Hey phil, just wanted to say, that although the size, and complexity of your projects varies alot, that your doing a great job! So just a kind word to let you know to keep it up. God bless Gmj

On the UHF antenna How far is the antenna strips from the focal point ? Also do you have the dimensions of the parabolic. ? I want to construct this to receive the UHF band. Thanks for any help.

Hey Phil,

We chatted some time ago over your tablesaw instructable, It gave me lots of inspiration for my own DIY tablesaw project. Which I'm currently busy building at the moment. I wanted to ask your advise on something if that's ok.

I'm planning to put a self aligning ripfence on the table. I scavanged an old drawing table off the dump which has a really decent aliminuim track system, the x and Y axis tracks will both be used on either side of the table to guide the rip fence.The shortest length of track I have is about 1,2-1,5m. I have noticed that most shop bought sawtables are able to set the rip fence on either side of the blade.

So here is my question: Is it neccesary to have that or is it merely convience. In otherwords if my rip fence runs on only one side of the blade, will that limit my saw's capabilities in any way. The reason I ask is because my table is 90cm wide, which means if i attach the track, so the rip fence can be used on either side of the blade, I will be able to adjust my fence 40cm left of the blade and about 70-100cm right of the blade. But if I fix the track so that it starts from the blade going to the left, then i will be able to adjust my rip fence all the way to 150cm away from the blade. What are your thoughts? 

Thanks, for all your previous good advice, I really appreciate it :)
