    Burying posts Vs bracket's

    Making a homemade forge, does anyone have any reccomendations for a suitable blowtorch?

    I used a super simple "2 brick forge" and a map gas blowtorch for a good while before getting my forge. Works great for heat treating etc but I wouldn't want to be heating metals to forge for a long period on it,would get very expensive very quickly!

    Steel for welding

    Find your nearest steel merchants and buy a couple of lengths of 25mm x 3mm flat bar (7.5m standard length around these parts.) Steel at that thickness is very cheap, think the last time I bought a lenght that size it was under a tenner. Cut it up into 200mm sections and practice T fillets all...

    Has anyone any experience of Vaunt diamond stones?

    As Droogs says, I have the Ultex 300, 600 and 1200g plates from ITS and they are still performing great several years later. Wouldn't hesitate in buying more if required. Sent from my COL-L29 using Tapatalk

    Vacuum Cleaner Bags

    I picked up the Lidl wet and dry vac for the workshop a few years ago. I made a few attempts to get replacement bags but ended up with the wrong ones. I haven't used anything in it since. Simply tip it into the bin when needed and blast the filter clean with compressed air. Still going strong...
