    Mitre gauge - bar depth (V27)

    I have been eyeing up a mitre gauge for a while now, with most seeming to fit a standard 19mm x 9mm slot (3/4" x 3/8"). As I have an old Startrite TS I figured I would have no problem, but before pressing the order button thought I had better just check the slot dimensions. width - 19mm - check...

    Bandsaw - ribbed belt replacement

    I have a BAS316 bandsaw in which the ribbed belt has split and perished. Got a new one OK but ho do I fit it? I presume I have to remove the lower wheel as the ribbed belt is behind the wheel.

    Fan timer - mains operated

    I am looking to install a bathroom type fan to circulate air round my cellar and do not want it to run off the lighting circuit in the traditional manner (mainly because I am not down there often enough to switch the light on to make such a traditional operation method useful). As such I was...

    Stunning demonstration of the power of films

    Its not often that I am amazed, being a bit of a cynical bloke by nature. Take a look at this video clip, and ask yourself whether anything we see on TV or particularly in film can be considered 'real' anymore? http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2010/stargate-showcase-reel-p1.php For sure we...
