The pile on the workbench need a home, I'll probably build some presses tomorrow.

Speaking of which... my vice has been found! (I tore down workbench v1 and haven't quite gotten around to making v2, so I'm working off a temp bench on trestles...)

So SWMBO got tired of me whinging about not being able to find this or that tool and suggested "Why don't you clean out your shed, then?" What, like I'm supposed to throw all this stuff away? Wait, why does that sound like a good idea? An hour later... (This is just the trash pile)

In order to not take over other thread.. I just recently got great results with citric acid and hot water, followed by a vigourous scrubbing with fine steel wool. Got the citric acid powder from local pharmacy. Previously used 600 to 2000 wet and dry sandpaper with Wd40 as a lubricant. Next...

Ciao Max e benvenuto. Ci piacerebbe vedere work-in-progress foto per le sedie! Welcome to our virtual man shed!

Hey, how did you get on with the saws? Tenon Saw Problem

£40 for a single chisel!? 😒 Buy them at car boots and places. I buy anything marked 'Sheffield'! As long as there's plenty of steel left and it's not bent or corroded. Learn to sharpen them and use them and when you get good, reward yourself with a fine set. You'll end up with several sets...

I wouldn't have said I have a direction but thinking about the last 4 rooms I've painted, I've done them all clockwise... interesting. I'm left handed but thanks to trade school I use all my tools right handed (except a square, I suppose)

Word to the wise, when we got laminate (14mm mid range quality) installed, the installer (a local company) specifically said to protect the floor if we were using an office chair, as the laminate won't wear well with wheels rolling back and forth. Hopefully not an issue with commercial grade...

Surely anyone who isn't making a living from it is just pretending to be a wood worker? That's what I had in mind when I built my workshop, unfortunately height and width limitations can't into play. Next one, at the bottom of the garden, will be more like this! Anyway back to the OP, I knock...

The CEO is not going to be looking at individual risk logs. You need to look at the agenda and minutes of board meetings to see if it's being discussed. You can ask to make a presentation or report to the board on your progress on that big Excel, the overall status of the school, and the top 5...

You'd make a fortune on OnlyFans..

here's just one study. http://www.tara.tcd.ie/bitstream/handle/2262/98192/Caulfield et al 2022.pdf?sequence=1 "...our findings suggest grants are most prominent in affluent, urban areas with high levels of public transport usage and/or availability. Similarly,Carroll et al. [68] has shown that...

Some to me like Bingy is looking for the best sort of advice; that which confirms what he already thinks! 🤪 Time to pull out the"bad back/no machinery/job too big/ honestly best thing to do is get landscapers in" card...

You already know it's going to end badly, plus you'll be forever on call to fix up any problems for the next 20 years. Plus making good whatever damage happens to the shed when dismantling or rebuilding. Plus this person has already history with rows... Don't mix business and family. If you...
