Slides to digital

In clearing out my dad's things following his death, I've come accross a large number of 35mm slides. Boy do they bring back memories of a happy childhood!

I've got a projector, so have been able to see them in all their glory. What a great format it was/is. However I want to share the images with grandchildren etc. So need to digitise the best ones.

I know there are various bits of it available and some scanners will cope with them. Does anyone have any experience of doing this - anyone got any advice about the best kit. I don't want to use a commercial service on account of cost and an ability to prioritise!!
