    For Sale Axminster AWDE5002 wall mounted dust extractor

    Hello people. I was given this in a swap for some tools a while back - didn't need it then, don't need it now. It's been hanging around (literally) for ages gathering dust, and not in the good way, but now I'm trying to tidy my walls it's probably time I get rid. I can chuck in a few metres...

    Found Lower roller guides suitable for an SCM Minimax S45 bandsaw

    **Update: After adjusting the rudimentary guides supplied with the machine I've found it's cutting pretty well without the rollers so I'm happy to not bother replacing anything for now** Purchased one of these second hand recently and only realised there weren't any lower roller guides when I...

    Sold Taiga Tools rail square for Festool rails

    I recently picked up a hybrid one of these because I have some Mafell rails I never use, maybe one day I will, who knows. Anyway, I have a pretty much pristine condition Taiga rail square now surplus to requirements. I'd like £90 inc postage to a UK address please, but collection is also...

    Sold Arbortech Turbo Plane & Ball Gouge

    These were what you might call curiosity purchases a few years back. Tried once and sat in a drawer gathering dust since. Looking for £80 posted in the U.K. for the Turbo Plane and £65 posted for the Ball Gouge. Happy to combine postage should someone want both. I’m actually surprised how...

    What sort of hinge is this please?

    I've made some business card cases and have been trying to find a suitable hinge and clasp, then I found this on one of my wife's jewellery boxes and thought it might be perfect. No idea what I am searching for though. One for the box makers I suspect.

    Need a bunch of random sized old nuts

    Anyone got any suggestions where I ought to try? Looking for about a hundred or more and can be any size from M8 thread upwards, they're not going to be used for anything other than being made into "art" so doesn't matter if imperial or odd or whatever. I could scour car boot sales, but I...

    Some sort of lathe wanted? I think

    Alright metalwork people. Looking for (and I have no idea of the names of these things so apologies in advance) a lathe for milling mild steel and/or brass. Ideally second hand so figured I'd keep my eyes peeled in the usual places, but what is I am searching for? Resizing mild steel round...

    Kawasaki H2R production bike world record anyone?

    By bike I mean bike, not some new age penny farthing. https://youtu.be/6aIjDY-bReQ Not sure what speed he's doing when he pops up from behind the bubble, but anything over 150mph is going to hurt the old arms right?

    Shellac over epoxy resin?

    I've got some waxed "pieces" but I think I'd rather have something a little less fingerprinty and perhaps harder wearing. I've enquired with a few places before now about using various products and they've all said to steer clear of using over resin, so does anyone know if a simple shellac will...

    Record Power BS300 tensioner broken

    I've been playing around with this all afternoon, trying to figure out why it won't tension and it turns out the thread appears to have stripped itself? Can't loosen the top handle fitting to just replace with a bit of threaded bar either. Would this normally be a simple fix, I can't believe...

    Solar panels during a power cut - what do I need?

    Suffered around 3 hours with no power the other day due to a power cut, and it was a beautiful sunny day. I've always put up with the fact that the panels on the workshop won't work without mains power for the inverter but what can I feasibly get away with as a minimum for still having the power...

    She wants to stick a wine bottle where?!

    Yeah, that got your attention didn't it, you dirty thing. So, missus thinks she would like something like this, well, actually, nothing like this but a similar rig in that the whole bottle should slip through. First stock image I came across. There will be lots of holes, there's a lot of...

    What wood is this...or, is this oak?

    Found it on a beach, washed up after the storms in Jan/Feb. It's about 4.5m long and is drying out nicely in the back of my workshop. Pretty jammy I got to it before the chainsaw crew got in there for firewood. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tool-line offer on Record Power SS16V

    Just had an email through, not sure if it's any good or whatever, so don't shoot the messenger. Just thought it could be a deal for you lot in this sub-forum and figured not everyone is on Tool-line's mailing list. http://www.toollineuk.com/product.php/sn/RPTSS16V As you were. Ciao.

    Leggy holder thing

    I follow a few metalworker type people on Youtube and one of them "Giaco Whatever" made a holder thing that I'm not sure he invented, but I'd never seen one before and I remember thinking, that's cool, I should make one one day. Then one of Jimmy DiResta's mates, David Waelder (who worked in...

    Experts look away now - Cheapo eBay workbench?

    Right, still reading? Good, you're probably about as fussy as me. So, stumbled across this earlier and thought, well, it can't be that bad can it? Worst case the vice mechanisms could be re-used? Wood burned. Screws weighed in. Anyone ever bought one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/b-Hardwood-Ca...

    Flex SBG 4910 or Femi 782XL

    Hi, Anyone here own either (or both, although the question why would be relevant there) of the above band saws? I'm leaning toward the Flex, spoken with Matt at Stakesy's at length about it and the fact that a 3rd party vertical adaptor table is available for it clinches it for me. He wasn't...

    Bosch GKF600 guide bushings/template adaptor

    So, I'm routing out some hinges on a kitchen I am building and I'm struggling to get my Festool 1010 into a couple of the gaps I've left myself - still learning, and probably should have routed the face frames before putting them on. Hindsight. I've got the UJK Metric guide bush set I use...
