Dial every time, clear easy to read, no batteries. I have a Mitutoyo dial, wouldn't be without it. (Bought 2nd hand from a local auction, paid peanuts!) Would buy any clear to read dial, plastic or metal. Bod

Yankee screwdrivers...3 different sizes, 3 different bit sizes, you will after a bit of a hunt find adaptors to use hex bits, but because of the different Yankee sizes need 2 adaptors. That and the fact, the blessed things rolled into difficult places, once battery drivers came in, despite not...

On the 27th I recieved an e-mail, "Receipt for your account upgrade at ukworkshop.co.uk" I did not reply or open, am I being scammed? Bod

Electric planer... the fastest method of making a large mess! Bod

Check Ikea, they often have various sizes. Bod

That would have been assembled first, then drilled as a pair, in one hit. Any misaligment would not matter, as both parts would be the same. Two ways to go forward. 1. make an exact copy of the hole in the broken part, that should fit, or be 180 degrees out. 2. Drill 90 degrees out to the hole...

yup, the odour of the countryside, new mown hay in summer, slurry in the autum. Used to be straw smoke late summer, but that got banned. Bod.

Try standing with your shoulder in line for the first cut. Second cut, shuffle your feet across by the distance to the cut. Shoulder in line for each cut. The last photo shows what happens when you do two cuts from the same position, slight difference for two cuts close together. Imagine the...

Well done, looks good, keep it up! Bod

A slight aside. Who can handle Putty? When ever I try, I just end up with a handfull of sticky mess! Wet hands, dry hands, a lump that has been handled perfectly well by others, all end up as a sticky mess for me. Bod.

You've got a later Record blade, it might be the cap iron needs a little shaping, just enough to allow the blade to sit flat, the cap iron looks to be a Record type, but is it? The blade looks to be almost new, it might be not as thick/stiff as an older one. Bod

How well does it currently work? How much curve is there when the cap iron is removed? Is that a Record blade, square or curved top? You have a Record No.4 from about the 1950's their best quality period. Bod

My initial thought, is how will a 3mm cover bend an 18mm thick plywood base. It will need some really super duper glue, indeed would the ply delaminate first, before bending? Backing material under a thin base (less than 6mm) would be necessary. Bod

http://www.supertool.com/etcetera/pchest/pattern.htm Bit of a read, but does all required. Bod

Assuming all is correctly assembled, and clean. The fault must be with the quick release spring not being adjusted correctly or broken. When the half nut is removed, the jaws slide freely, no rust on the slider rods? Bod

2, problems as I read it. 1. The top is not square to the base. 2. The 45 degree cutting position is not usable. For 1. remove the 4 base holding screws adjust the top square, with blade in both 45 & 90 positions. Be prepared to redrill all 4 base holding positions. (sod's law say's the hole...

https://www.gov.uk/party-walls-building-works/if-you-cant-agree Taken from Terry's link, if you do not follow this advice, ie. 2 surveyors then you may be very expensively in problems. The whole link is well worth reading. Bod

Being in the narrowboat world, of the inland waterways, I see quite a few wind turbines, most are not working, of those that are rotating, most are just idling, only a few are at any speed. When attached to a boat, the vibration passed down the mast is unacceptable, so the few that do work are...

Last resort, bung the holes up, redrill in different places. Bod

Never mind the rain, lookat the Varnishing, how many coats to achieve that finish? Bod
