    Parkside speed clamps

    The small Irwin quick clamps are 2 for £10 in Wickes again, I know where I'd be going between the two options.

    3D printer filiment

    There's pretty much always something on offer on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/SUNLU-Filament-Printer-Tolerance-Accuracy/dp/B07XFKW972/ref=sr_1_6

    Parkside track saw

    Yeah, I ended up using an impact driver on it the first time I changed the blade. After that it was fine - just overtorqued from the factory.

    Making Fun - Jimmy Diresta

    The lack of health and safety is shocking. I'm amazing DiResta has all his fingers and both eyes. I really hope anyone watching it with kids is pointing out what not to do!

    Is there a battery/cordless 23G pin nailer?

    The cordless Ryobi is a totally difference beast to a cheap corded one. My Titan corded one is a violent thing, loads of kickback from the flywheel system which fires. The Ryobi cordless is a lovely thing. It's got an on-board air compressor, and is way quieter and almost no kick. I understand...

    Mortgage rates / interest etc

    People can't have second-hand hand-me-down furniture anymore - because modern stuff is cheap rubbish that doesn't last.

    Something to be aware of.

    In the UK we have results within 24 hours for PCR tests run by the NHS/Government, but you aren't allowed to use those tests for flying/travelling, you need to pay a private company, which is where it can all fall down. It's worth seeking out a testing company that actually run the lab, rather...

    Cordless brad nailer...which one?

    I really like my Ryobi 18G one. Hasn't missed a beat so far I didn't have any of their batteries, but got a good price on a hedge trimmer (which I wanted anyway) with a 2ah, with a 4ah free from Ryobi. Not sure that the offer is still running.

    Toolstation - good experience

    I know that’s how they both usually operate, but any Screwfix I’ve been to have been happy to grab stuff for a look at before buying.

    Kitchen Carcass

    I went B and Q, and they're fine but not inspiring. If I knew about Space Plugs then I'd have considered IKEA more, but the lack of service void put me off. http://space-plug.com/ What ultimately swung it for me was who did the widths and corner layouts that best filled the space. The B&Q...

    Edited - Which track saw (rather than which circular saw)?

    I've got the Lidl saw with a Freud blade (I ruined the stock one cutting laminate floor), and it's ace. I made a little crosscut jig (as shown on Peter's youtube channel - thank you!), and it's a really useful tool. I also bought extra track via e-mail, only about £18 for another 2 pieces. Of...
