Rutlands have a very tempting albeit limited range, but I rarely buy from them since there's something very underhand about their website. None of their reviews are below 4 star - in fact very few are below 5 star. If you check Trustpilot many people complain about their less than good reviews...

I wanted to make a quick drawer to hold Nespresso capsules, with the machine on top. Stupidly the machine and capsules are at work so don't have the exact dimensions of the capsules. Would anyone be so kind as to measure the exact dimensions of a capsule? You can have a free coffee when you...

Hi all I have a retail shop with the back room where we do the computer repairs. Over the last 5 years I've used old desks etc but I need to sort this properly. I was thinking of 19mm birch ply running all around. I'm sure I could hack something together but a couple of questions if anyone can...

Been a long time since posting on here - I still see some familiar faces around! I have two 14.4V Dewalt Drills which are used for everything from finer woodwork to shed building (!) to DIY. I find they have enough power for what I need generally. I have corded SDS drills for heavier duty (DIY)...

Well it's nothing much but am so pleased to get a project finished that I thought I'd post it here! I know it's useless without WIP pictures but has been a rush for my nephew's 1st bday. Although similiar to one I made for one of mine a while back... American cherry and first ever machine cut...

Opened almost 3 years ago - I can't trust it but before I bin it unsure if it's of use to anyone? Would have to collect from West Devon. Cheers Gidon

I'm looking for a cheaper way to mount the Sonos Play:3 speakers we sell which come with a 1/4 threaded mount hole. We can sell an special mount but it's expensive and I've seen in the US "hanger bolts" with a 1/4" bolt on one end and a screw thread on the other. But can't find them in the UK...

I managed to get to the workshop for the first time in ages and my bandsaw is playing up. The belt is slipping off the wheels. I have tried adjusting what I can but the belt must be worn. It either slips off or twists. It's a v belt. Any ideas how to change belt - the manual doesn't explain...

Hello all I've not been here for a while which would also explain why the table on my planer thicknesser has seized (not had much time for woodworking recently). I don't think it's the chain mech - it appears to be the bolts supporting the table itself. I've squirted WD40 all over them and left...

Has anyone made one before? I'm after one but they are quite pricey. Have see one on the web - can't find the link now - but the clamping mechanism is very basic. I think that's the trickiest bit. I'm doing a fair bit of cycling and would quite like stand for easier cleaning and basic...

Hi all Has anyone got any ideas how to remove a seat post from a bike? I've tried everything: the frame in a large vice, lots of WD40 etc etc. Now I've cut the tube off and cut a slot in the top of the tube but still no luck. I took it to a local bike shop some time bike and he couldn't do it...

I've searched but still not sure exactly what this is. I bought a OF1010 back in November from Miles Tools and they chucked in some extras which I've only just received! But as a gesture of goodwill they've also thrown in the above. It says its a Side Stop - is it only for use with the hole...

Sorry I've not been very active here. Been busy with the new venture. The shop's now been running almost 5 months (yikes) and I've just launched a full e-commerce website. It's pretty sparse at the moment - adding more products from the shop every day. But I would really appreciate forum...

Hi all I spent a frustrating hour trying to attach an A1 sign to the outside of my shop. It's an old building and as I tightened the screws the rawl plugs were coming out with chunks of wall! It's not particuarly heavy - it's an A1 alu snap frame. I could put wooden battens up to attach the...

Thought it may be of interest to post pics of the furniture I was busy making (hereand here) in the lead up to Christmas (and a bit beyond!) for our new shop. The shop will sell computers, printers, cameras, camcorders, MP3/Video players etc. Our remit is computers and anything that to plugs...

I have a load of retail slatboard which is white with brightly coloured inserts. I have some white inserts but the exisiting ones are really stuck - tried various methods of getting them out but can't (any suggestions?). So I was wondering if I could paint or spray them black? The slatboards...

http://www.rutlands.co.uk/clearance//all Some real 110V bargains you lucky things! 240V vacs also reduced though (arghh - only bought one recently!). Think some of the original prices are already the 2010 prices which is a bit cheeky. [Edit - notice other places also have already put their...

Hi I may have a problem with my Domino - can someone who has one check whether if they hold the body of the Domino, there is any movement of the whole fence assembly. Just enough to make a slight noise if you try and rotate the fence assembly on the guide tubes? Thanks very much, Gidon

I bought this one from Axminster a couple of years ago and haven't used it much. Looks very similiar to the Rutlands onefor £43.95 so how about £20 +£5 delivery? Happy to answer any questions. Cheers Gidon

A couple of years ago Chris (Waterhead37) very kindly gave me this HVLP spray gun to try with my compressor setup. It has a gravity cup and looks very similiar to the ones Machine Mart still sell. Chris is happy for my to pass on his generosity to another forum member. Postage will be around £6...
