    Bosch. Expensive but worth it.

      Not for nothing is a hammer known as a "Manchester screwdriver". A hammer is quite useful for getting wood screws started quickly.

      "When all else fails use bloody great nails" is another phrase I remember from my student holiday jobs.

      (a politer version is "When all else fails use six inch nails")

        When in doubt..... just give it a clout!
        If it doesn't move..... HIT it!

        A classic from a Chippy I used to work with - "Bugger.... It's 'kin broken!! Chuck us another one!!"
        and
        "Not to worry - we can paint over that!"

            There was a classic tale told by a shop fitter about an expensive plate glass window they were fitting. They managed to smash several of them by a mixture of incompetence, planning and skill. British workmanship at its finest.

            Someone should have recorded that tale, for it took a good 20 minutes to tell and had us laughing for days after.

                Can't you just get a bloke to do it for you...means you could get back into the kitchen- much less confusion all around
