    Is this a scribing gauge?

    I have been trying to work out how the piece you have could be used. As described in the Hackney Tools article link I posted - I believe it refers to the template/scribing jig you have as being associated with the Stiles and Rails of sashes. What is puzzling me is that in both instances...

    Handy hint on defogging your car

    When you get up in the morning and have a cup of tea, pop the remaining water into a hot water bottle, go out and lay it on the dash of the vehicle. Works a treat! Just make sure you have your pants on though! (edit... sorry Dave, I missed your earlier post re the water bottle :oops: )

    Hi Biskit, I use a electric fan heater to provide heat when in the shop when working... It is one of the Machine Mart fans with a thermostat so you can control the temperature. With the 50mm Celotex insulation all round it warms up quickly, stays pretty warm for quite a while too, before the...

    Hi Simon, It won't stay clean for too long once the next job starts! I have been making a shroud to put around the lathe to get some extraction in place and stop the spoils from flying all over the shop. I used some 10mm foamex sheeting I had for the shroud and that stuff flies everywhere...

    Steve's workshop - Painting the outside walls

    Steve, Now I'm no electrician but..... If you are intending to use a wireless/ethernet extender, which utilises the existing ring main circuit, please bear in mind that the supply to the workshop must also be connected to the same ring circuit for it to work. This goes against the ideal...
