Hi, hoping for some advice regarding polishing up an acrylic pu varnish, like the sadolin extra durable pu. Ive got a job coming up shortly for a small oak worktop in a glamping pod type setting. The customer is after water resistant, without changing the colour of the oak ( or as much as...

Ive got a job coming up shortly where I'm making a built in seating area on the back of a kitchen, with new stone worktops which will sail over the seat back slightly, giving a larger work surface etc. The space is limited, so using the under seat area as storage is going to be valuable...

😔😒 I failed today..... my L200 needed a new propshaft centre bearing, so i bought a new one from mitsubishi ( the aftermarket ones often dont last well ) Anyway, i took it off, split the u.j, took the yoke off, pulled the bearing and then reassembled. When i drove it a few hours later, it had...

Hi, i have a grass problem ( garden variety ) About 3 years ago i did some work in our garden moving a bank and levelling. I had a mini digger and power barrow in there. Once the soil was level, i raked over it and laid turf, watered etc... It took hold just fine. With last years heat, the...

Im finally ready to take the plunge 😆 Im thinking the 500 will do me. Mostly it'll be for joining cabinets for built in wardrobes and aligning edges nicely. And no doubt as i use it I'll think of other uses. I have a morticer in the workshop if needed for bigger joints. But my question is...

As the title really.... im looking for the little clamp piece that tightens onto the blade..... if anyone has a busted plane they'd flog me, or knows if parts are available, please shout 👍

As you can guess from the title, im looking into security options for a mini digger. Its a takeuchi tb016, an early one, so i dont think it'll have an immobiliser etc. Ive seen the dozer ram locks, but after looking for reviews, i found a couple of comments asking why a thief wouldnt simply...

Hi all, In February our mortgage deal ends... so we are currently trying to decide which way to jump... We can remortgage at an increase of nearly 3% taking us to 5.94% ( 2 yr fix ) or 5 yr fix was a touch cheaper, or the mortgage advisor was suggesting a tracker.... or we can wait until...

Hi guys, I need some ideas 💡 Im on a project at the mo, bungalow with loft conversion, extension and full refurb downstairs. The roof is covered by clear tarps, but we had some leaks due to tarps being worn / damaged ( now fixed ) The concrete floor where the extension joins the existing...

Hi guys, Im going to pick up an oxyturbo kit, but i cant decide which one. Basically theres a kit for 135 quid, the oxyturbo 90, or for 220 quid, the oxyturbo 200. From what i can gather, the main difference is the more expensive one has guages on the bottles and possibly different sized...

Hi all, Ive got a duce gusto pod machine that i hardly use. ( i dont like the pods, it was a gift a few years back ) I'd quite like to make cappuccinos at home and was just looking at options. There delonghi ones at 90ish, with a milk frother attachment and a swan one for 60 with the...

I recently took the kids to lyme regis to go fossil hunting. The eroding land which gives up the fossils was once a seabed.... under lots of water, so where did it go? A quick google shows the ocean holds 97% of the worlds water, just 3% in the atmosphere and snow/ ice, so we seem to be...

Just saw this on gumtree, in crediton, devon. Ive got a bs, but thought one of you guys might like it! I couldnt link it 😒

As per title..... im looking into spray options. I have a little lvlp gun and 25ltr compressor, which can do a drawer front without stopping, but a 600 x 720h door is pushing its luck! Ive got a bungalow refurb with full loft conversion and extension to do, plus will have new exterior...

Hello 😔 Ive got a gmail account which gets extremely occasional use. I had an email from a potential customer, which i replied to, and he has since replied again. This new reply shows in the email inbox, but when i clicked on it, it just shows the original email. Im using gmail on my phone...

This is definitely not elfin safety compliant.... in fact, he could have just bought a chainsaw.....
