So, I've seen a few threads on here recently about air cleaners and what's been recommended and so on. As usual Google are listening and suggested this video to me. Now, you might have to close your eyes at times on the safety side. He says he shot this 4 years ago and has made lots of changes...

Since the prices of all tree based entertainment are higher than they once were I thought I'd start a thread where I and hopefully others can share what they are paying and for how much. Naturally if you are buying 40 sheets at once the prices are going to be better than us mortals buying 4 or...

Use the code Festive15 at checkout https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/Flash/bn_7114592181 As a for instance, this Makita set is £725 on their ebay store but £717 on their normal web store. The £60 saving still gets you £52 off. Do check before you buy and naturally also check that things are not just...

I tried posting it in my old thread but maybe nobody looked because its an old thread. Anyway. Long story short. I have an older 01446, they revised some parts internally and now things don't line up like they should. If you have one that's not 10 years old, can you take this pic for me and...

Just saw in my evenings viewing. Nice to see someone with a bit of a following showing how simple it is to be safe and clean and still get the same end result.

So a job for a friend came up and it has meant adding a nice edge to probably 20m of board. It was a prospect that finally nudged me to spend the time to secure my refurbished Erbauer 2100w soft start router (£60 - Ebay) to a bit of birch ply that was laying around in the workshop (was an old...

Just a quicky really. Make a 600mm long cut on your tablesaw to any width that you can chuck in your calipers, so say 100 or 150mm. How wide is the cut piece at either end? Are they identical? 0.1mm out? More? Also, how much runout do you have on your blade? I only ask as this Sip I picked up...

I've just won a Sip 01446 12" saw on ebay and am due to collect on Tuesday. Just looking to see if anyone has info on how easily the top comes off the cabinet and better yet how much of the weight of the saw is the 3 cast iron tops. I'm hoping to collect in my Skoda Superb estate but that's...

As some may be aware I purchased a Dewalt DCN692 framing nailer for my workshop build during lockdown as it would end up cheaper than hiring one. With that all now finished I have no use for a nailer like this and so its up for sale. I purchased 6000 nails in 3 sizes and I estimate there might...

I've been keeping an eye out for a Domino and as they seem to be rare as rocking horse teeth new at the moment, I was looking at used options. Now, every auction varies in content and final sale price, however, one auction ended today that made me question how far people are willing to go...

I'd like to invite folks to post pics (more is always better) of the exterior of their workshops. I'd like to create a single repository for people to get ideas from for claddings, colours, etc. I'm finding it hard to pinpoint the colour I'd like for my own wall cladding and would love to have...

Anyone had any dealing with 3rd party batteries for their tools who can recommend a seller or brand? I only have a single 2ah 12v one and a pair of 2ah 18v ones for my Bosch tools. I know they all use the same 18650 cells in the battery but as with lots of different batteries sold online, a...

Just saw this one on YouTube and really like the design for using up space in between your exposed rafters in workshops if you have them. Mine would have some sections in the vaulted ceiling that could be filled like this. I guess you could only mount it to the rafters themselves if they were...

Caught an interesting video yesterday about how much strength bow ties (or whatever else you might call them) add to the piece. Even a tie with no physical shape designed to increase strength added a whole lot. https://youtu.be/wNBO2OBxF8k

With the workshop looking like it might actually get built this year, a couple of birches are going to have to come out of the middle of the lawn (don't ask why they were planted there, my mother in law has a habit of doing it and it was their house before it was ours). While they are far from...

My little girl turns 2 very soon and is very keen on trying to drive our cars down the 100m driveway to her grandparents. With that in mind and after seeing this youtube video a while back I was inspired to do something very similar. We're blessed with space for her to drive around so space...

Just wondering if anyone else has hooked up some extraction to the BDS150. I have some appropriately sized hose and clips to do the job, but thanks to the generous 1cm port length, getting the hose to stay on is proving difficult. You'd almost think they've done it on purpose to force you to...

Long story short. House clearout, some tools being sold, some money going back into tools that will get used. HVLP Sprayer and Titan Plunge Saw + ST2800 Evolution track are all good. This bandsaw is not. Prior to buying these tools most of my stuff has all been slightly more expensive branded...

I purchased 2 of these when making my workbench with the intention of using one as a tail, but I have no real use for it so it was never fitted. Its in full working order as it is but there's a project there for some restoration if you feel so inclined. dates are from the excellent thread on...
