    What is this drainage pipe called?

    I want to put in some foundations for a small wall but I have a loop of buried 'flexible' (well it's not rigid anyway) drainage pipe in the way. I can easily resolve this if I buy a longer length of the same pipe which I could route around the area where I want to put in the foundations...

    Help me choose a belt sander

    I've decided the time has come for me to buy a belt sander and, while I've narrowed down the choice, I'm hoping people can help me pick between them. Most of the use will be either in my workshop or, for larger pieces, in the garden. The largest thing I'm likely to use them on in the near term...

    Which resin to fill letters in a sign?

    I've got to make a wooden sign for use outside - the sort with routed out letters in a solid piece of wood. I've got a nice piece of 35mm thick oak that I can use along with letter templates for the routing. Ideally, once routed, I'd like to fill the letters with a coloured resin before sanding...

    New compressor - need air hose recommendations

    I've just purchased a Hyundai Super Silent (we'll see about that ;) ) compressor - it's my first compressor so I'm on a bit of a learning curve... I'd like to get a 10m or 15m hose so I can do some paint spraying in the garden while leaving the compressor in the workshop - can anyone recommend...

    Sander - is there a hook/loop reverser pad?

    I've acquired a large box of 125mm Bosch mesh sanding discs but it appears that the hook & loop backing is the wrong gender for my sander - they'll attach quite happily to the backs of my other sanding discs but not to the sander itself. Does anyone know of pads that will reverse the hook &...

    Does the Katsu 18v trimmer accept Makita batteries

    I already have a Makita DRT50 18v Trimmer and have realised how useful it would be to have an additional one with, say, my normal roundover bit permanently set to the correct depth - I don't, however, fancy paying for another DRT50. The price of the Katsu 18v trimmer is much more acceptable if...

    Finally built a fold-down MFT

    As I've a relatively small workshop - the main section is approx. 2.5m by 3.5m - space has always been at a premium and I've had to ensure that everything is stored neatly and put back in place at the end of a session or it would quickly turn into chaos. In my latest effort to make best use of...

    MFT Top - Melamine MDF?

    I'm looking at making a custom size MFT top using 18mm non-structural hardwood ply as it's less affected than MDF by any potential moisture issues in an unheated workshop. I was talking to a builder friend to see if he could get the ply for me on his trade account (free delivery) when he...
