I was given a saker scribe tool / deep pencil set (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Saker-Multi-function-Construction-Carpenters-Woodworking/dp/B09W8RC9FP/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=saker+scribe+tool&qid=1705010838&sr=8-6) for christmas, looked great, but a few moments playing with it and you could see it just...

I picked up an automatic centre punch today from lidl, it came with a couple of spare spikes / pins / heads, I assumed at first that they were different sizes, but they seem identical, just replacements, so my question is how long would these pins normally last, do they blunt / buckle relatively...

They are lidl next week for £30, has any got one, if so what is your impression please

was mixing up some all white filler today, the golf ball to pea ratio stuff, normally I use a nominally wood coloured product, with white hardener, so it is easy enough to see when you have an even speck free mix, the white filler is impossible to see when it is mixed thoroughly. any techniques...

thought I'd give this a look, very dissapointed at the first episode, seems to want to be instructional for beginners, but gives maybe half the information you'd need to take on any given task, just enough info to be dangerous. https://www.channel4.com/programmes/tool-club On the plus side I...

more of theoretical question than for anything specific I'm planning to build. I've seen a few torsion boxes made up (youtube) and I notice that the internal web always seems to be boxes and rectangles, no triangles, it seemed odd because triangles seem to be so common place everywhere else...

as has happened to many pairs before, the latex palms of my work gloves have stated to break down and go tacky, does anyone have a good way of stopping this? they are cheap and could easily be replaced but it just seems a waste. it is these or something very similar Site Latex & polycotton...

looking for heavy duty clamps similar to the heavy duty (white label) irwins, heavy enough that they can hold down wood to saw (not just pressure for glue ups). 6 or 12 inch. thanks in advance https://ffx.co.uk/product/Get/Irwin-Quick-Grip-Q-Gxp12N-5706915059434-300Mm-12In-Xtreme-Pressure-Clamp

stumbled across this technique on youtube, haven't tried it, I'll give it a go when I get the chance, just wondering if anyone does this?

Screwfix are offering this at the moment, excellent value as the batteries alone are listed at £80 a piece, seems like a good model too, metal gears, 65nm. thought a few people might be interested...

I have a single battery that powers two tools, if and when that battery goes those tools will have to go in the bin as it stands, they're not amazing tools, but still would rather keep them in action this video shows the battery Does anyone know of any compatable batteries, the current 20v...

Has anyone used these at all, I've not been very impressed by silverline in the past (laughably bad on occasion) but they are so cheap in toolstation and the majority of reviews are favourable. DIY use only.

can anyone reccomend a good cleaning product for router bits please. its just DIY and fairly occasional use, so I don't need great quantities, can I infact just clean of residue with white spirit, turps, wd40 etc, or is a specialist cleaner definately required? thank you

just going through some of my late fathers drill bits and have found a set of drill bits, with attached countersinks, which have a taper down the length, similar to this set on ebay Neilsen CT0650 Countersink Drill Set for sale online | eBay why the taper? many thanks in advance

...or am I confusing that with another company? You now have to spend £15, which is still cheap admittedly. when did it change (if indeed it did)?

I've got a broken pull cord on a generator, do I need to buy a special type of cord or will anything do as long as it fits through the hole? thank you

I seem to have developed a real talent for snapping pilot bits recently, can anyone recommend a brand / type of bit 2mm and 2.5mm that holds up well, maybe with the ability to take a slight flex before they snap? preferably affordable and easily sourced from screwfix and the like. Thank you

I've just got my first ROS (bit late the game) and have a couple of questions about best practise, seem to have found a lot of contradictory advice online. Firstly should I be sanding with the grain? I thought that the movement of the sander head meant this was not nessacery, but have seen...

would prefer not to pay the earth, but really want a reliable square. I have a cheap 12" square, but the 90 degree is just not reliable enough, so it really only gets used as a ruler / measure / gauge. thank you

https://www.yandles.co.uk/essentials-tradebond-d3-water-resistant-glue-fast-setting-joinery-adhesive/p6301 seems like a good price, just wondering if anyone has used it and has thoughts yah or nay??
