I've ditched brisant now won't be ordering from them any more.

No minimum. Saves any hassle or explanations to customers. They're not interested in your agreements and liabilities. I was in a shop behind a customer as the owner explained why the customer couldn't pay by card. It struck me as a bit unprofessional, so dropped minimum immediately. If a customer wants to pay card something under £1. (My supplier's minimum) I would either give it to the customer, or charge them £1 on a card, and give them change in cash. That said nearly everything in my shop is at least £3, with the exception of key tags. Anything I was selling for £2.50 i will be selling fo

Sorry, it's not my policy to give key codes to unknown people, maybe your landlord doesn't want you to have a second key!!! My advice would be to have the lock changed, keep the old one and replace it if/when you vacate. You have no way of knowing who holds keys to your rental.

I don’t think by the time you’ve paid postage both ways you’d be competitive on pricing. Buy a tormek and do them yourself.

A husband and wife go to a counselor after 15 years of marriage. The counselor asks them what the problem is and the wife goes into a tirade listing every problem they have ever had in the 15 years they've been married. She goes on and on and on. Finally, the counselor gets up, walks around the desk, embraces the wife and kisses her passionately. The woman shuts up and sits quietly in a daze. The counselor turns to the husband and says, "This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?" The husband thinks for a moment and replies, "

Would i be right in thinking that the code for this key is 212144, sorry im new to this

29K71 is a good model with all parts available including manuals but that looks to be taken care of by @CotswoldEngraver

There's enough going on with the throating and the shaft without adding the foreskin into the mix...

You may struggle to find a blank for this as it could be a cheap Chinese lock.

Buy British where possible Having said that, there are many British manufacturers that rely on raw product or material coming from overseas that they require to produce the end product. Just saying

I repaired some ladies shoes for Peaky Blinders about a month ago, filming in Manchester.

Yes I have been asked to put 15p on card. No cash, no cash point to go to. My contract has terms whereby I cannot set a minimum charge. I would, and have, given away small items to customers with no cash but it is not the road to go down.

That's not likely to happen though is it? If they come in the shop for only a 15p tag and didn't have cash I would give it them and say drop it in when they are passing again.

Looks like Ronis JMA code RO-29D

Yes, it is on Instacode. YA8E blank

https://www.colmanleder.be/product/SLTH/35610/Sleutelhanger+3D Colman Leder in Belgium have a crown key ring. If this is what you are after then call Tie Tight shoe laces, they import from them, they may even have the key ring in stock....worth a call.

Are you just removing and cleaning or a full refurbishment? if it’s just a basic clean on a cheap watch I would be looking for £10. If it’s a refurb it would depend on how complex the polishing would be but probably around £45

Kinl, imagine what it will do to your head!!!

TX-3D 100% correct we see plenty of these.

Community initiatives associates, were a scam involving community aware magazine, now they’ve moved on to school books. The company is run by Ian an Steve Jackson, but now use a postal address at Cassidy House Chester, but still work in Egerton street chester. They use a woman known for being over close with one of the brothers called Kelly Griffiths, who’s name is used to front the company called Embrace Education selling Barney Echo books

While everyone is checking what machines they have gathering dust - could you kindly also check for Silca Idea or a Keyline SigmaPro?

No problem mate. If you want the originals let me know as I can possibly get hold of them for you.

I have both somewhere will check in the morning. Where are you based ?. If you wait till we come out of lockdown you can pop over and i can spend a couple of hours showing you. Pretty simple once you get the basics. First thing to do after transport is calibration.

Or you could source a couple of zips and remove stopper and reuse, bit fiddly but I have done it when stuck.

Look at the state of it .....think you’ll struggle on finding blanks but I could be wrong

3d have them in stock , https://3dgroupuk.com/product/view/VGRC10 chrome edges or https://3dgroupuk.com/product/view/VGRC12 black edges

Yes, admit they are easier to find if you add HIU162 to the search.

Made this minimalist cash, card, change holder. What you think?

Hi all having a lockdown brain fart. Decided to clean install all my engraving software onto a faster computer, running XP as my engraver IS400 Volume does not run on anything else. Everything went well, sneaked into work and hooked the engraver up to new machine, tried to do a test engraving and nothing, on engraving screen test button ok but port button greyed out. I am using an add on port to the computer (all drivers loaded and working recognised that I had dongle in when loading software) I am sure its a simple fix, but this is a week now and I am stumped. Hoping that super smashing guy B

If you've got some white leather, make some yourself. They are easy enough!

your better off p one of the repairer's (independent) that you know. try any on the forum - I know a guy that would be more than happy to guide you pm me i'll send him to you

You need to add a generic text only print driver, pointing at the right port. Then in software, click Engrave, config machines, right click, properties on your machine, click Output and choose the driver.

I just asked myself, and I said open!

I have a couple that aren’t being used as I have upgraded them. Haven’t a clue what there worth though. I’ll have a look and let you know.

Did you install a windows generic printer ?

Made this dog lead for an English Bulldog.

Followed by a big weight.............. The old ones are still the best.

I got asked for a long stand. I said, "Okay, just wait there..." .

We would just order one in and add a small percentage onto the price. Why limit yourself. We have sold in the past light bulbs, toilet rolls, taps. If a customer is happy to pay why not ?. Some old people do not like using the internet so are happy to pay for all manner of strange items as long as you make a profit that's all that matters.

Well, do you?

Forgot to say the Laidlaw keys i get through Aldridges specials dept it's the Tigris key that are from Access2

I sell Saphir, I keep the price pretty high, some people buy it just because its expensive, others travel to me to buy it because they know it's the best.

I've just spoken to Amanda at www.theengravingworkshop.co.uk . This was the engraving website and sister company of Mastergrave, if you need anything that they used to sell then give her a call on 07565 975081 anything they are not stocking they will get for you. All accounts will be pro-forma (don't blame them either!)

sell her 30ft of chain with a padlock ? carry on!
