Totally normal for water based.

I might be inclined to wrap them in vinyl. Most sign shops will have bright coloured offcuts....

Spent a lot of time making a press tool to make bricks using a 50 ton bearing press. The amount of effort and time to produce a few feebly burning logs meant we abandoned it after a few months.

I'd go for double sided tape for these. Quick clean and easy, they will never move.

For an easy to understand explanation of gear teeth This Old Tony is worth a watch -

If you already have the bar and are in the gateshead area any time during the week you are welcome to use my cold cut saw. If you need to buy the bar Metal Supermarkets on Team Valley supply cut to size at a reasonable small quantity price.

Sending you a message now......

A large bridgeport cnc has become my covid madness in the workshop and I am very short of tools so depending on price I would be very interested. I am over in Newcastle so not a million miles away to collect.

I would imagine thats why the op posted in the metalwork section......

Hi - tried to contact you with pm and email but you don't seem to be receiving them. Can you let me know when you intend posting this please? I know I said I wasn't in a hurry but it has been a couple of weeks since I paid....... Ta Graham

What is it with cats and high places.......

I am definitely interested but with the logistics of getting down to collect this I'm not sure I could offer your asking price. If £100 would be enough I could pick this up next week. I completely understand if you want to hold out for your asking price but if it doesn't sell then the offer...

I don't remember where it was as it is several years since I was last working in oil and gas but if I remember correctly there had been an accident on site where an adjustable had slipped and someone was injured. Initially they banned all adjustables but found this was impractical and widely...

I once did some contracting on a large petrochemical site and the only adjustable spanners you were allowed to have in your toolbox on site were Bahco. Anything else and you were sent home.

I have the little ratchet screwdriver set with interchangable bits from Lidl in my kitchen drawer. It punches well above it's price........ All my tools tend to end up in my workshop which is a couple of miles away from home but this has saved the day on many an occasion.

I did several hundred MDF pidgeon hole shelves for a warehouse a year or so ago using pocket hole screws to put the shelves in. No problems so far and they are heavily used.

They are good aren't they? I phone up from the other end of the country searching for spar grade spruce and its delivered next day. Their marine ply is probably the best available in the country.

Looks to me like some sort of fret saw for cutting something tough... Never seen one like this though and it doesn't seem to have much throat depth. Perhaps an engineering forum might be able to help more?

As a very small importer from Europe I'm worried but have no real answers. I just know everything is going to be unstable for a long time. I make a range of vetinary operating room equipment for a local vetinary wholesaler. Most of it makes good money but the main reason I get any of this work...

Lots of sound advice above. I would add don't underestimate the amount of time you lose as a one man band running around sorting supplies, measuring up potential work, popping out to get some more screws etc.. It is easy to lose a day a week in the odd hour here and there which you won't be...
