    Workshop spring clean

    My pooch’s aren’t allowed in as they always end up running off up the garden with a mouthful of something I’d rather they hadn’t..

    Oscillating Sanding Machines, Belt and Bobbin Type Any Good?

    Just had my mind blown…what this young man is capable of is why his country has such a good reputation for engineering. Apologies for the duration but it’s not like I’m making you watch it…

    Workshop side door

    Surprised at how cheap they can be I opted for a high security steel door from these guys: https://www.lathamssteeldoors.co.uk/steel-security-doors/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_4Oci73uhQMV4plQBh10_g9tEAAYASAAEgKo3fD_BwE

    Rust Remover--'Jenolite'

    Only use I ever had for Jeno-lite was an unsanctioned method of rapidly removing the carbon deposits on an SLR gas plug followed by a quick wipe with some scotchbrite coated in oil…ssh

    Best and least messy way to remove surface rust from tools

    My father used to have a business selling furniture he would pick up at auctions and “refresh” before trying to make a profit by selling it in his shop. Quite often there were metal parts (hinges,handles etc) that had seen better times and his favoured method of rejuvenation was for the...

    Does being right or lft-handed determine which way round a room you go when painting ?

    As the wife actually likes painting I don’t get a look in at the task at all and that’s the way it’s staying so stop rocking the boat damn you!

    Stanley Compressor

    Like Peter I too had something similar to the Stanley that I think I may have gotten from Screwfix many years ago that I endured for far too long as the noise emitted was quite detrimental to matrimonial life let alone the irritation it provided to anyone unfortunate enough to share a similar...

    Are EV's good value? Apparently not!

    “now that we do have all of those safety features it’s used as an excuse to penalise you as the vehicle will be more expensive to repair in the accident that it’s less likely to be involved in!” Before anyone else shoots this bit down, I appreciate that the supply chain for ev’s isn’t as...

    Are EV's good value? Apparently not!

    I am so glad I did my own research and cost analysis of ownership of an ev instead of relying on the diatribe posted in here and within the general media. Apparently my car will cost far too much, will depreciate insanely, will be the cause of opening up another hole in the ozone layer and will...

    Table Saw w/ability to take a dado stack.

    Had my F3 for a few years now and managed to scoop up a dado set plus a really scary moulding block for it from a member on here a while ago. Mines the pre dro model. Have yet to use the dado in anger other than making a bunch of zero clearance table inserts and trying some calibration runs to...

    Nature of the game WARNING this post contains graphic images of a hand injury

    Can’t begin to imagine how much that must’ve hurt and probably still does…hope the recovery is swift as can be and it doesn’t impact too much on his snooker game/violin playing.

    chopsticks, toothpicks & skewers - uses

    We keep all the tubs our Chinese take away stuff comes in so they’re always my first port of call for that with the added bonus of having a lid too.

    New member - moving US>UK

    Being tight fisted , and not wanting to spend £2-300 on a router, I picked up my Bosch router on a trip to the US along with a suitable transformer for £150 , Both still work fine.

    Canabis farms

    At the ripe age of 58 it seems to me that not a lot has changed since I left school. In my “social and modern studies” lessons we debated and postulated then on how to treat the different categories of drugs and how law and order should regulate their usage.
