To play your game. In the second picture, we appear to have two plastic tool carry boxes, one is Bosch blue and the other is Fein orange, the later being a presumed higher value. Then there is the transformer. Nothing else stands out. My last dance with eBay had the winning bidder say that he...

I have that table saw, I'm always taking the riven knife off to make tenons. I don't like the riven knife as it has a lot of play before you tighten it and can lay on the blade. So be careful when refitting it. I have bought and not yet fitted the micro jig table saw splitter, might work for...

I put three bulk head lights in their about 40cm round from tlc with multiple led and that's ample for a 3.6m X 5.5m workshop. You could be all day reading everyone's choice, however I purchased one with a back up, if you loose the power you still have light, perhaps while a blade is spinning...

My house is a 1900 farmhouse and the loft is decked, so I am slowly installing insulation board under the lime plaster then plasterboarding with 10cm screws to the old joists. Some rooms are ornately decorated with coving so I am stepping away from the coving to add the the decor, leaving me the...

Always makes me laugh when Keir Starmer asks a conservative MP what they are going to do about the £500 increase in the average mortgage cost. It's not conservative policy, its the global policy of quantities easing that's been in place since the banking crisis. I run investment portfolios for...

My amplifier receiver dims my lights when I switch it on, so does the hoover, but funnily enough, not the oven. But yes absolutes my table saw when it fires and then again when the dust extractor comes on cause two separate dimmings that stay dim in the house for the duration of use. My workshop...

The pension question is easy. You are entitled to contribute £3,600 pa without earnings, so if your income falls below £12,570 and you no longer pay tax you can still get tax relief on contributions up to a net payment of £2,880pa or £240 per month. Having the wifes payments to you is fine but i...

I bought the bigger brother from axminster last year and your post has reminded me i need another go at it. I havent been able to get the beds coplaner and they have a cup in them too. The cast iron beds are bowed front to back against a straight edge, only by 1mm but still. and yeah i checked...

I have one of these, my most used drill bit, it is indeed a pocket hole bit, for free hand pocket holes. The smaller bit goes in at 90 degrees then, with the drill still running, you lean the drill over to the desired angle and push in the direction you want the hole. Great for fencing, gates...

I have used a few printers over the years, and also abandoned ink for over a decade. I now have both and the inkjet is now the cheaper and faster of the two to print, and while I now prefer ink I dont think its right for you. If one toner cartridge lasts you for years your clearly a very low...

What about going down instead of up. Where you going to sand the floor anyway? Or maybe put the old 20mm through a thicknesser, guess it depends how many your replacing

Had neflix for a while now, so i have a few suggestions. Well the haunting of hill house is the best thing i have seen on neflix, so well made. One episode contains a 20 minute single take, not so much horror as disfunctional family. The follow on haunting of bly house isnt so good, but the same...

I bought an oregon chain saw, £90 from screwfix, electric and self sharpening, was great the first few jobs and would do the work required here. However the self sharpening system favoured one side of the chain so any wood thicker than 4” couldnt be cut as it wanted to cut round corners. The oil...

They arent cheap, but i think the two new trend routers have the same dust extraction system? T12/T14

I have two system's, a 6 year old swan and a few reolinks recording to a qnap NAS. I find that any external camera with in built infra red will soon attract spider webs which reflect the infra red back blocking any night view, they need regular cleaning and any burglar just needs to look out for...

You said its an old place, high ceilings? If so like perrygunn says. You can also use it as an opportunity if its upstairs. I recently put 50mm pir board then plaster board screwed through to the existing joists. Made a big difference to both looks and heat and no one is any the wise on ceiling...

Every thing I was going to write is already above me. Use google maps and it promotes you locally and SEO isnt as important unless there is competition. It took google maps a year to add me, what made things dificult is that they denied this, only I could see me when I was logged in, or when...

Costs are a part of the equation when selecting a provider, so too is service and stability but also performance of and cost of the underlying investments. Some providers will have an entry charge on many external funds so that they appear a cheap provider on first glance but if your making fund...

Why buy new furniture. I dont know what the second hand market is like on the mainland but here on the isle of wight you can buy amazing furniture very well made at monthly auctions. I had this piece delivered yesterday which set me back a whopping £125 with taxes.

Your pension could buy you an annuity, thats the income contract of over a century. Annuity rates are linked to fixed interest rates and which are linked to interest rates, which are very low. Annuity rates are even lower if you want an income for Mrs, and lower still if you want an income that...
