Hello folks, just wondering if some might be able to tell me how I can find an older video, or indeed a categorical list of oldest videos first on YT, This would be very handy to know, instead of going through the newest or most popular videos due to the system (tinfoil hat emoji) seemingly...

Might as well post this, as it looks to be the cream of the crop of bandsaws. I've saved the pics from the bay 200 quids, plus possibly VAT should there be no reserve. Surely worth a chancers bid That machine is among the very best designed saws ever made, featuring a foot mounted motor, what...

Hello folks, thought I'd do a wee review of this angle grinder Not had it for long, so this is just my initial impressions so far. This is about the cheapest one going, well from a known brand that is... (HiKoki is re-branded Hitachi if you weren't aware) Gone up a fiver since last year, so I...

Arrgh!, I seen this solution randomly just pop up, the day after I needed it :ROFLMAO: so might as well share and perhaps suck it up a bit. I'll give the link of the "short" below, but will explain for ye folks who won't watch youtube Starts off with grinding a bolt head round, for welding...

Hello folks Been wanting to do a few jobs with my tablesaw, fence abbutments and a flip down outfeed table from some old box iron, and am wondering why not make the take off table a bit wider, as I could utilize it for an outfeed table for an overhead bench mounted router stand setup. I've only...

Hello folks I've got quite a few things which I'm wanting to sort out with my old Startrite 12" saw, wanting to add quite a few things for various operations. Going to start by making a short fence for ripping on my machine, as in Roy Sutton's video, he mentions setting the distance of the end...

This looks a bargain for 350 squid on Gumtree.

If I were closer I'd buy it. Hundred quid for a VFD and run it from your household 13a plug. https://www.adverts.ie/other/woodworking-band-saw/29002381 Three hundred euros, cheapest bandsaw I've ever seen.

Suppose it's just second nature in the land of dado stacks!:)

Hello, just wondering if there's somewhat of an option regarding 13a household plugs. Been using some shoddy old ones from a box for the last few years, and might consider getting some fancy ones for indoor use. I've seen mention of H07RNF cable being the bees knees,flexible and somewhat...

Hello folks Awaiting these doors to dry out for a bit in the next day or so... They were very damp beforehand, and that was before doing some concrete. Thinking I'd best post a thread to gain some insight regarding finishing the job off, well at least for the meanwhile, might have to make some...

Hello Just wondering if anyone could point me to an article or give advice on garage doors. Having issues with damp ingress, small bit of rot, the shed is in a low spot and doors opening inwards, and can't think of any other way round this other than to change the door frame over if possible so...

Hello there, hoping some of you clever folks can steer me the right direction on this, as I have been pondering about it for a few days. I likely have suitable materials for the job, Plenty of aluminium for making clamps, might get something a small bit lighter instead, a good excuse to use...

Delighted to see Graham Blackburn's channel pop up on my youtube feed.😀 This fella's another advocate and user of the cap iron, who demonstrated it at some wood show in USA, whilst stepping in for David Charlesworth, during that post millennial phase of the premium plane "must have" era of...

Not sure how many of you have seen or watch Jer Schmidt's youtube channel, I hadn't. I reckon @baldkev and @Inspector will have already seen this Looks a proper job, and interesting to see another take on the design, as he mentioned an area of space doing nothing in Bill's drawings. Great...

I got a bit enthusiastic whilst drilling some holes for this vise installation. However I only made my mind up that I would prefer these nuts to be flush I might likely make them a bit skinnier with the bench grinder and some filing. Could even lap them if I wanted on a lap, or on my cheap...

Hello folks I'm wanting to make a gib-like thing for the quill adjustment bolt on the pillar drill after reading of someone doing so on this thread https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=128627 That little grub screw beside the return spring has two flats on the thread to...

Hello folks Only seen this video yesterday, A cheesy short how it's made about servicing the bandsaw, mostly regarding the tires and setup with an interesting jig also VERY interesting watch for someone who want's to replace "rubber" tires using contact adhesive. Having had dipped the toe into...

Interesting comment @pe2dave made on the user side of the machine. 🤪 I presume the HSE would suggest so. i.e The column side being the "user" side of the timber. That along with the button being mounted to the column on most, and seeing as the blade will apparently most likely, try exit the...

Hello folks Just making some blocks up for a drilling operation, and thought this is maybe a more sensible use for a graphite stick, rather than what I normally use it for. I use these all the time while making little blocks for jiggery and whatnot. You can go bananas if you like using this and...
