Going back to your initial post and the suggested option of the more formal, raised brick beds. Don't rule out this option and consider dry walling as a diy solution. These are specifically designed for retaining. This would avoid a massive amount of heavy work excavating hardcore, clay etc...

I ‘get’ the desire to make it yourself but fully adjustable handles are available in a similar style, if you decide it’s not worth the effort. https://www.dekkorinc.com/Adjustable-Handle--Stainless-Steel-8mm-_p_248.html

An alternative method would be: Get a sheet of plain card eg side of Cornflakes box Remove your router from the table Fit screws into your router base and bit into the router Dab paint onto screw heads and tip of router bit Set onto the card and plunge the bit till it marks the card Now you will...

Take a look at the wheel kit for the SIP 01332 table saw. It is an excellent concept, making the saw easily manoeuvrable yet it sits solidly as soon as it's moved. Also retains the original height - anything else will raise the height considerably...

We must be from the same era. I well remember my granny preserving eggs in waterglass, in large black 'crocs' (black, glazed terracotta pots). My grandparents kept free range hens and these preserved eggs were generally used for baking.

A few years ago, during lockdown 1, I took the opportunity to sell all my cordless tools, of various brands, on FB Marketplace. Actually my daughter listed them for me and all sold within hours. I kept only my Milwaukee 18v drill and since then have added a couple more Milwaukee 18v, on the...

"happy to advise" certainly, but you are likely to get a personal opinion/interpretation or even an adopted position that may or may not be accurate. Heights are measured from the highest point of the established ground level adjacent to the footprint of the building.

For your criteria another +1 for the DeWalt DWS774. I have one as well as a 250mm Makita chop saw. I'm not sure what is the difference between the 773 and 774, other than an extra 100w motor. There doesn't seem to be any/much price premium for the 774. Is the 774 just a newer upgrade of the 773?

I hesitate to ask, but what is the 'rod' method that you refer to Jacob? Thanks.

If I would set out to address this issue I would typically aim for overkill and future proofing. Thinking along the line of running a split (on table saw) along a 32mm waste pipe, enclose the cable, seal split with duct tape, deepen & widen trench and encase pipe in concrete with a couple of...

Welcome and looking forward to seeing the writing shack project in progress.

I much prefer to repair rather than replace but sometimes it's just not practical or cost effective. This looks like one of those times to me. However, hats off to you if you can get it sorted at reasonable cost.

It doesn't have to be the Craftsman machine. Any similar sized belt sander could be modified in the same way. While I don't have a Sorby ProEdge myself I have used one and consider it to be a good design any very useful. I've not examined the Sorby machine to see if it has a glass plate behind...

A track saw can easily trim a narrow strip off a wider panel but it's difficult to trim a narrow strip off a narrow board. Indeed a track saw, on its own, isn't much use for smaller materials.

A Pro Edge is a belt sander with an adjustable tool holder that comes with a huge price premium. A DIY version: https://www.machinistblog.com/modifying-a-craftsman-2-x-42-inch-belt-sander-for-tool-grinding/

I helped my brother-in-law to erect a Dunster House garden room after he had installed the base which was larger than the footprint of the building. At the time, I thought that building a row of brick around the outline and below the floor bearers would have been a good approach, with a strip...

Two for each radio and after fitting radios in a few motor homes the auto electrician decided that he didn't need the accumulation that had gathered up in his toolkit/pocket at the end of the day and just left them behind.

The Snap-on lifetime guarantee is good, but then you have already paid for the replacement when you initially bought the first one. IMO, Halfords lifetime guarantee is more impressive, given their competitive pricing structure for decent quality sockets.

If possible, take a look at some static caravan layouts. In my experience these include the smallest possible configuration for a single toilet.
