    Jessem clear cut stock guides modification to fit Dewalt 7485 table saw.

    The Jessem stock guides need to be set back from the edge of the fence to allow parking them out of the way when cutting close to the fence, crown guard removed for clarity, I used angle aluminium, on the back fo the fence to increase the width of the top.

    How to drill into a concrete lintel?

    It's been standing, as far as we can tell, for over 500 years without any foundations, just built straight off the North Downs chalk.

    How to drill into a concrete lintel?

    My place is 600mm solid flint with sand and cement render internally, the render is so hard had to use an angle grinder to chase in the electrics, an SDS drill works into the render, but that's it until you break the flint behind, sinking patress box's was fun.

    That Titan SDS from Screwfix was too heavy for my wife to use so I took it back. 😇

    Deck Repair - unusual size boards

    Four of your decking boards = 880mm, standard deck boards can be had in 148mm width, therefore six boards is so close that the gap between each board can be modified to suite. 148 x 6 = 888mm. Decking boards also available in 144 width, therefore 144 x 6 = 864mm many different ways forward.

    For Sale Picture framing kit

    I would much rather sell as a job lot, give it a few more days and see if I get any offers for the other bits of kit, then I may consider selling bits separately.

    Old workbench with unusual feature

    That square hole could be for the cast V right angle fitting for a pig castrating bench, the trough for draining the blood, my castrating bench in France looked very similar.

    Afraid not, but then never needed it with the Mitre slice it can take from 0 too 0.1mm off a 45deg angle to mate it with another 45deg angled piece of timber.

    Was there a V shaped piece of iron sticking up at one end of the trough facing along the bench?
