Sounds like this one then? https://www.tuffsaws.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=4_14_31&product_id=114

Sorry to be a super noob, but can anyone post a link to the specific blade we're talking about as a replacement? My bandsaw is also... not great. Cut with the standard blades are terrible and they wander badly no matter how much tension I put on it. I also made the (possible) mistake of...

To be honest, I set mine up last night and although I need to spend some time calibrating it, for a novice maker in a compact workshop, I can't really say I'm disappointed. Nothing arrived bent or broken and although there is a bit of slop in the various mechanisms, notably the fence, I...

https://www.aldi.co.uk/ferrex-bandsaw/p/810249541009800 Whatever project you're working on next, make sure you have the right tools to get the job done. With 2 cutting speeds this Ferrex Bandsaw enables smooth and precise cuts in both hard and soft wood up to 120mm thick. The solid, all-steel...

Not totally sure I follow what you're saying about the "1/3rd in" bit? It's a compressor one that I bought. For the moment i have left separate heaters also running just until the existing build up of moisture is gone, then I'll ditch the heaters and just run the dehumidifier I think. I took...

I got a pretty nice set of engineering measurement tools from Rutlands sale a little while ago, and have absolutely zero complaints about them, but Marcros is absolutely right. The site is hillariously administered and marketed. I had a look through and really didnt spot anything that stood...

I had a quick peek in there and it looks like some useful information. Probably delive into that on another day though 😄 Again, I suspect the issue will be that I need to make the most of what I have rather than go for best practice, unfortunately. If I was doing it again, I probably would get...

If the only solution that would work is spray foam, or redesigning from scratch, then that's ripping everything out and starting again, which basically means I would have to can the whole project. I simply don't have the time or money to start again. I have to do the best I can with the...

Whilst I will be installing extra air vents, possibly a second roof to reduce ice build up, I have also been looking at fans to circulate the void air... but I'm not exactly sure what I need to be looking for here. Although there is an airgap between the frame and the outer shell, it's only a...

Maybe I don't understand the terminology, but pretty sure I have it between the battens, as in they sit inside the wooden structure, not on top or behind it.

What I'm trying to get across though, is that I don't actually think that it would be possible for me to get a better vapour barrier than what I have already done. The vapour cant get through the aluminium tape which covers the timber, and it cant get through the insulation board which is also...

No there isnt a vapour barrier as such, I have basically used the aluminium tape to try and seal everything up around all the insulation boards as well as I can, but I don't see how a vapour barrier would work here anyway, as the cables would all have to poke through it. I could put a piece of...

To be honest, after doing the build I reckon I would have been far better served building a shed, or pushing a bit harder to use an old dog kennel building they have on the land. Live and learn though, and they have another container on the land they're considering doing 😂

Hi Gavlar, Certainly great to have someone with first hand experience onboard! The insulation boards sit inside the framing, and don't touch the metal anywhere, at least if they do it would only be very slight. The wooden beams touch it in a couple of spots, but not enough to isolate a large...

You could well be correct, although i think there is a good chance that there has been a build up on the inside that only made itself clear when it got ot he point that it dripped through the small gaps in my insulation barrier. It could well have all happened in one night, but the more I thibk...

That all makes sense, but it's possibly overkill. I think, for the moment at least, I'm going to vent the air gap with a load of little vents, and see how I get on. If it really gets to the point I need to set up a fan system to pull outside air into the "Box" then perhaps it's time to pull the...

Thanks mate. I have ordered a relatively small one (12l) so I will be doing exactly that! need to figure out which vents i can actually use as the shape of the metal obviously makes it a bit tricky for flat mounted ones. Proper container ones are... expensive.

I had a 500w oil filled heater at one end, and a 1KW convection at the other. Overnight I dropped the temps of them down to either 5c or 10c... i forget which. Tonight everything is switched off. IIRC it was typical and cheap CLS 38x63 straight from the local wood merchant. Don't think it was...

Thanks for the response mate. I should mention the mate that helped me is a professional joiner, and he does restorations for a living, so it's not two idiots... just one. He didn't do all the insulation and OSB, that was purely done by me under a bit of instruction by him. For clarification...

Hi Everyone, I've been browsing this site for a while, it's been an incredible resource for me whilst I have been trying to set up my own little workshop. I am still very new to the world of construction and DIY, my normal job is designing and commissioning broadcast systems... so I'm well...
