Its an art project-I am thinking of gluing them on- has anyone tried Gorilla Glue? Does it work on tile?or maybe using Epoxy so in a sense they are covered and "grouted together. Could I "glue them on that way or epoxy them in groupings first and then glue the group to the wood? Ideas? The tile is going on a fiberglass piece-glue suggestions for that too---

as I am limited with space in my flat, I after to place a small cupboard in front of the radiator. I thought if I place a sheet of silver foil behind the cupboard this will stop the cupboard from heating up and so hopefully the heat should rise upwards. Do you think this is possible?

Our 2 year old son has managed to block our downstairs toilet by dropping the "Harpic on the rim cleaner" down the toilet and flushing it in a fit of rage. Aside from why the door was unlocked at the time, any ideas for fishing it back out?
I think it's jammed in because although the toilet flushes from the cistern the water only drains slowly from the actual toilet which would indicate that somewhere in the U-bend the offending item is wedged.
Without taking the cistern off and moving the toilet from its fixings to get into it both ways does anyone have any ideas?

I have a bench lathe where the speed is adjusted by moving belts on different sized pulleys. As this requires stopping the lathe and opening the access panel, I would like to be able to change the speed on the fly. I have seen variable speed control boxes that you plug a tool into then dial the speed up and down. They all state that they are not for use with slow start motors. How do I know if the motor I have is slow start? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I am wanting to install a wood stove into a house me and my wife have. The walls are concrete walls and I was wondering about burning wood in it. The wood stove is a cast iron free standing wood stove from www.harborfreighttools.com I have a free supply of wood pallets..that I could cut up and burn. Do you think there is any problem using that type of wood to burn. I would keep the the flue cleaned out. Where would I buy the stove pipe to install it at? Also what is the best and easiest way to cut a 6" hole thro a concrete block wall? and tips or suggestions? I am trying to keep our home warm on a budget..

My wife and I want to redo our bathroom countertop the current countertop is a one piece countertop that includes the sink and 5" backsplash. This is a condo unit that some manufacture custom built 200 of these to go in every unit. Anyway, we are going to drop bowl out of the countertop with a grinder and then we planned on putting mastic or thinset directly on the one piece ceramic counterop and then grouting the tile. Does anyone have any input on whether the mastic will stick to the ceramic??
Thanks,

The fan is part of the rotor and not sold seperately even if it would come apart. Any thoughts on the type of epoxy to use? It is a plastic material. The fins are intact, only the mounting points (2) failed.

The project I'm working on requires a fairly complicated cut with a 1/4 dado router bit into white pine. Although the cut can be done on a router table, it would be a much easier setup to build a jig on the table of my drill press. That way, I would be able to see where the bit is going at all times and use the press to plunge the bit. The problem is that the top speed of the drill press is 3500 rpm, and the router bit was designed to run around 10,000 rpm.

First off. Is this safe?
Will the bit cut cleanly, or just tear the wood up?
Could I damage the bit doing this?

I dont know if its a combi or how to add water to the system is the loop line at the cylinder or is it at the boiler outside, I bleed the system from the oil line and there is a screw valve beside it on the manual it says this is a pressure valve at the min it is fully closed, there is a small steel box beside the burner which I take is to be the pump It has 3 positions I have turned fully to the right there is also a screw valve on the oil line which I have fully screwed down if you twisted it the other way the screw will come off in your hand this line runes into what looks like a see through filter with oil in it. I got a bleed key and bleed the rad's upstairs but I have not pressure in the gauge beside the cylinder I also opened the air valve on the top pipe which goes into the cylinder. Is my pump not on??? How all this from just running out of oil.??? By the way thanks for all the help so far.
