I bought a Trend Craftpro from Toolstop for my clarke 10" I was given as the blade fitted was the OEM clarke, and despite having a go at sharpening it, it still gave a poor cut. https://www.toolstop.co.uk/trend-csb-cc ... 0mm-p70414 Seems to work well for both ripping and cross cutting. Not...

Compressor? The following is all I see that they have on offer? https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Non-Food-Offe ... 718&week=1 :?: :?: :?:

Few points - 1) Rioters who were started at least one massive building fire and placed a lot of innocent people's lives at risk (would you still have been so defending of them had large numbers of innocent people been killed if that blaze had spread to neighbouring properties?), were running...

Yeah the Americans and quite a few Canadian woodworkers on youtube make my rear end clench with some of the stuff they do, cutting twisted wood and worse with no riving knife and standing right behind the wood, just asking for a lethal kick back, whats really galling is when they are called on...

I have a number 6 and its a decent lift, surprised it made it all the way up here to the wilds of Scotland given it wasn't overly well packed by the poster (but hey it was collection only till I cheekily asked if he would drop it off just down the road at a parcel store -yeah ok I know the...

on eBay there are loads of companies Kay Fasteners is one off the top of my head A search on ebay brings up the following: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from ... s&_sacat=0 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BSW-Whitwort ... bolts.TRS0 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BSW-FULLY-TH ... bolts.TRS0...

Milwaukee HSS-G (for cold ground) are my go to for general metal drilling bits Sharp and they cut well: https://www.toolstation.com/shop/Power+ ... Bit/p27126 Though I see they also do a Dewalt equivalent. https://www.toolstation.com/shop/Power+ ... Bit/p75519 Though for really hard stuff -...

I didn't actually mention USA, I mentioned Ontario, meaning Ontario Canada, Which despite being adjacent to the USA has vastly different gun laws, closer to ours pre-Dunblane with differences. They have similar issues with inner city shootings and knifings, yet their politicians don't dream up...

No shock given that ALL political parties parachuted in those who have ZERO life experience, ALL of them now did politics at university, became paid activists, then researchers, aides, candidates and often parachuted into safe seats where they burble the party line - That goes for the Tories...

I did mine last year, mixed the concrete by hand (with the aid of a mixer) 4-5" thick, 1,2,4 mix, levelled with a batten, let the water vanish off the top and trowel smooth, not had any dusting issues (well apart from what blew in under the door and what falls off the car (workshop / garage)...

Thinking about upgrading from using a pair of wood trestles to support the mitre saw my old man and I share use of. However I know zip about mitre saw stands. I generally don't mind paying money for something that will last and isn't "shoogly" albeit I dont need a top end able to survive a...

I have a litre bottle of Evostick Exterior woodglue (PVA Type) and it was bought in....ummm what year did Woolies go bankrupt again? Lived under the kitchen sink for years and its still fine, apart from stuff in the nozzle, though wouldn't buy it again, don't think it sticks as well as it claims...

Quietest shop style vac I've found is the old Numatic Henry, used with bags (cheap off ebay) it'll suck up anything dry, seemingly they do a blue one (charles??) that does wet also, albeit no idea on the noise of that, then you get into their industrial models

Don't need to think about it, know all about it. Only clean way to live would be without power, and who fancies that? Solar and wind - production is dirty, nuclear is severely dirty due to the mining, transport and vast amount of shielding, not to mention the spent low, medium and high level...

Currently natural gas, which does release CO2 emissions but crucially burns very cleanly with virtually zero Particulate Matter emissions, if we are going to burn a fuel thats "dirty" but sustainable better to burn in a biomass plant and drop the cost of electricity. Though everything has a...
