I don't often share hacks or you tube videos, but this one is short and to the point. It would also have worked for me in the past when fitting a particularly big inset nut.

I recently bought a Startrite TA255 but it came without a riving knife, so decided to have a go at making my own from one of the many old blades that it did come with. Not the prettiest or best, but all I had to cut it with was an angle grinder. It works, which is really the only test that...

I went last year and it was ok if a little small, this year they say it is much bigger, and certainly many firms that weren't there last year are going to be there. I'll be there on 29th in my distinctive Essex Barn Workshop jacket, so if you are going do say hello! Admission is less than free...

Didn't know of these, bit expensive in the UK (I have found huge variance online, but probably £200 or more) but this video does interest me!

I have a startrite 255, but its riving knife wasn't with it on purchase. I was going to make my own, or indeed source a replacement, but then stumbled on this product. I have no knowledge of it at all, apart from an advert and a few you tube videos. Has anyone used one? Advert...

The annual “Massive shop coming tomorrow, can you bring that fridge home from the workshop?” Fridge Cleaning day!

Good friend is a Sealey rep and got two of these at a very good price. I immediately bought one from him, but he has another for £180 if collected from either CM5 or IG10. Let me know if interested.

Whilst this is an Amazon deal, I have linked to the page i saw it on as the site (HotUKDeals.com) is often first with good deals. Glad i held off buying a few months ago! I have ordered, and there is a limited quantity available. 21% have been sold at time of posting...

Selling this cheap but workable table saw. I didn't need a more expensive machine, but now felt the need for a Startrite! Only selling because I have got a new toy to play with. Comes with an improved full width clamping fence and several home-made jigs, including cross-cut sledge, mitre sledge...

Just stuck this on Ebay as well. Only selling because I was offered a Bosch pro jointer for silly money. I found it to be 100% square, once set. Collection CM5 or IG10 or will post at cost. Added a few size 10 and 20 biscuits to get you started.

I've long wanted a Startrite table saw. I know there might be better available, but I've always been drawn to them. I've missed out on several at auctions etc, but on Saturday went and collected a 240V TA255 from a closing down upholstery shop from one of the nicest men you are ever likely to...

I would quite like a single 1400mm track for my track saw, but the evolution st2800 comes as a 2 pack, currently a very good price on Amazon at £75. I'll probably just end up buying the 2 pack anyway, but just wondered if anyone WHO CAN COLLECT FROM EITHER IG10 OR CM5 (I really don't want the...

I recently had an eye test, and got a new prescription. Last time i had looked, prescription safety glasses were really expensive, and none of the usual cheap online opticians even offered any. I've been getting away with using my least favourite pair in the workshop with some generic, badly...

I've finally become the proud owner of a 24L Hyundai silent compressor, and I love it. Does everything I want, is super quiet and the tools you lot suggested all work well and fit. In addition, I bought a retractable airline for ease of use, as I can leave the compressor within 1m of a plug and...

Great 15 minute video from Stuart at Proper DIY on you tube. Particularly good, for me, for the way he sets it up.

My workshop is 240v. My landlord may well be able to provide me a 3 phase 415v outlet, but I don’t want to push my luck and ask for a load of outlets. What sort of extension reel/cable would I need to extend the range? Thanks.

I have two pairs of work trousers, one long and one pair of shorts, and when I swap over I empty my pockets. Both have holster pockets or cargo pockets, so more room than a pair of jeans pockets. Got me to wondering, what are in your pockets all the time? I don't mean bits and pieces for the...

Bought a two pack of pocket hole screw drivers from a well known online retailer with a jungle based name. Can you spot the defect in this unopened package??
