So from next year cordless power tool manufacturers will have to start implementing the same battery format in their tools. A short video about this.

Looking for recommendations of what paint to use on kids toys? Kids ages are from 1-5 years. Cheers.

I have recently upgraded my 2 Anycubic Kobra 2's to the Flash Forge Adventurer 5M pros. While there isn't anything wrong with the Kobra's the lack of an enclosure meant I had trouble with ASA printing. I got what I though was a decent deal for the 2 Flash Forge printers. £950 delivered and i...

So my new lathe has stopped working. It still gets power but it won't start, pressing the start but I hear a click. Looks like a phone call to Axminster for a return is in order.

So as you may know I got my first lathe a week ago. Where are the best places to source wood, seasoned blanks preferably as I really don't have to space to be storing wood for years. I don't tend to work with much hardwoods in the workshop so scrap bits are a bit light on the ground. I noticed...

It might only be the Axminster AW205 but I love it. I haven't turned anything proper yet, just practiced on some oak scraps. I also picked up the Axminster pen starter kit which I'm really looking forward to using.

A while ago I watched a youtube video of a chap that used a 3D printer to make some pen blanks. I found that interesting and just wondered if any of the pen turns here have or do use a 3D printer in their pen blank making.

Found this an interesting idea, seems to work well enough on flat chisels but wondered if it could be used to sharpen gouges.

So I decided to take a punt on some cheap Chinesium tools. The brand is Veiko. I have: 600mm square (not in the photo) 300mm square. 500mm t-square. Precision Square. 45° Precision Square. Adjustable t-square I have ordered a Speed Square too but that has not arrived. First of the build...

Does anyone have any experience with the Brooks Brother Skelmersdale site? Is it open to the public or have a trade counter? Cheers.

I currently have a Diode laser and it's been a great little tool but I am finding it a little limiting now, mainly because it won't cut Acrylic. So I'm now on the hunt for a smallish Co2 laser, I don't want something big (space issues) maybe something with a bed size of a A3 bit of paper. Budget...

.. But I turns out the part I designed and put on eBay as a test is reasonably popular. It is very niche part for DeWalt toolboxes Just about covers what I have spent on Filament.

So I've uploaded a file to Thingiverse, a cap for chamfered dog holes. Specifically UKJ Chamfered holes. Creative Commons License. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6183877

My first 3D printer arrived today, a Anycubic Kobra 2. It was extremely easy to setup, like stupid easy. I'm pretty impressed so far, printed a Benchy with what I think is great results. Currently printing a box I designed in Onshape and I have downloaded files for a track end cover for my...

Do any of you utilise 3D printing in your work? If so what do you make, parts, jigs something else? I've been thinking about getting one because the price of them has come down so much but not specifically to incorporate with builds but probably more to tinker with.

I'm just curious where folks get the hardware for their projects? From hinges and handles to more unusual things.

Finally got round to making a sled for the table saw. she isn't big but fit well with the small Axminster saw. The saw doesn't have a lot of space forward of the blade. Used an old Howdens Kitchen door as the base, T-track off of eBay and a couple cheap ass stops from Temu (surprisingly good...

So I have a small shop and use a small Titan shop vac and a larger 50L Dust/Chip extractor. The shop vac has one those handy sockets on it that activates the vac when the tool is in use, great for the track saw and router. I'd like to add this feature to the dust/chip extractor. It spends it's...

So I'm looking at getting an air filter for my tiny shop, either the Axminter AW15AFS or the Record Power AC400. The issue I have is that my ceiling hight is pretty low, low enough that mounting the filter as it is usually depicted is problematic. Can these filter be mounted sideways, ie...

This must have taken weeks to do. But the results is pretty special. The video is a little dry and maybe too long.
