I used these for my shed - https://shedbasekits.com/product-category/quickjack-soft-surfaces/ - no special tools needed, just a large hammer to drive the screw pile into the ground. The compromise of course is that all that is holding the shed down is the relatively small contact area of the...

Given that you have tried it on different browsers and different devices, it seems unlikely that it is a problem with caching. I think you have done the right thing, raising a ticket with the supplier. Good luck!

Hi, Can anyone help me identify which model Mitutoyo Bevel Protractor this is? It was donated to my local Men's Shed but it doesn't have the associated Steel Rule and I was hoping if I can identify the model I might be able to find a rule that will fit. Thanks, Tony

Please don’t get me wrong, I am strongly in favour of alternatives to the internal combustion engine. I just struggle to see how the current approach can provide it. in regards to the growth in home charging, depending on which survey you look at (and there are a lot!) an average of 30% - 40%...

Regarding the availability of charging stations it seems there is a fundamental capacity problem. If you consider a single petrol/diesel pump and assume it takes on average approx 5 mins to fuel, 12 vehicles an hour could be serviced through that single pump. How many chargers would be needed...

Hi Paul, Without meaning to put you off, the hardest part of using a CNC is learning how to define the path (toolpath) the cutter will follow to create your model. As I’m sure others will say, the actual carving etc is the easy part as you just stand back and let the machine do the work...

In spite of the name, Men’ Shed are open for anyone to join. If you want to find a Shed in your area look at the UKMSA website… in my area, (near Portsmouth) there are at least half a dozen within a 10 mile radius.

@deema if you lay anything on top of your existing floor don’t forget that you will need to raise the height of the lintels on every doorway - I know because I had UF heating installed and panicked part way through the install when I realised the doors wouldn’t fit due to the height taken by...

Hi, the motivation is that there have been a couple of near misses caused by people not realising the blade is still spinning - fortunately no serious damage has been done. I realise that short of something like the Sawstop any braking system will take time to be effective and any damage is...

Hi All, Has anyone had any experience of fitting a braking system to a Record TS250 Table Saw? Or better still, does anyone know of an after-market system that could be fitted? Thanks, Tony

John McGrath - man in shed Keith (Rag n bone) Brown On a separate point, I use the Brave browser to watch YT videos, don’t know how it does it but it blocks all the YT popup adverts - almost makes the viewing experience pleasant 🤪 I have also found that if you play the videos at increased...

Hi Spectric, You need to distinguish between the browser and the search engine. Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Edge, Safari and Brave are all browsers. Bing, Google, Yahoo and DuckDuckGo are all search engines. You can use any of the search engines with any of the browsers. Personally, I tend to...

Your local Mens’ Shed would probably be grateful if you decided to donate things to them. Google “Dorset Mens’ Shed“ to find one near to you.

Torx every time unless it is for a show piece. Torx tend not to suffer “cam out” which both pozi and Phillips do.

@Luke Barnard - many thanks, that was exactly the help I was looking for. Only problem was having to find other stuff from Axminster to qualify for free postage ;)

I’m hoping that the collective wisdom on this forum will be able to help me define the question to get what I need. Background: my Men’s Shed have a Leigh Super 18 Dovetail jig with a set of 8mm shank Leigh dovetail cutters. To use with the jig they have a Makita 3612 router with a guide bush...

Hi, I use sketchup make 2017 on a Windows 10 machine and found it started crashing on a regular basis. it seems that sketchup make doesn’t play well with “cloud storage“ - as soon as I changed the “save“ location to a local drive (c:) only, all the crashes stopped. Don’t know if that is...

Have a look at “The EV Man” on YouTube. He has done two pretty good videos on his installation (Solar PV + Batterie) in Yorkshire.

Hi, when you say "tripped the fuse" do you mean it tripped the circuit breaker on your fuse board? If yes, what is the power requirement of your lathe - could it be that the start up current is exceeding the rating of the fuse? In which case you would need to change the circuit breaker to one...
