Hi everyone. Covid wasn't kind and my dream workshop fell to pieces. Took many years to get it how i wanted but covid knocked the poop out or normal jobs from happening. Took a job of employment for the last 15 months which paid the bills etc. Looking forward to seeing your guys/gals projects...

Never seen an episode of love island but know several people who have watched it religiously. The death that made me think, was of Mike Thalassitis or as the media liked to call him "Muggy Mike" As soon as he took his own life the media started calling him by his proper name. They created a...

Seeing all the plastic and card board blowing around this morning I've finally decided enough is enough. The supplied lids are pathetic and dont clip on. I've seen elasticated nets that go around the top for around £5 each but am wondering if theres another option I'm overlooking. If the council...

Something I've been meaning to share after having a few. First purchase was this one from Axminster It did the job but after a while the spring almost gave up and you had to almost hand feed it back in. The hose seemed like a hard unforgiving piece of plastic Because there was no swivel...

I've seen many of the planes or drill braces converted into lamps. In fairness I dont mind them because they do provide a function. Saw this the other day and had to take a few pictures. This was a bit too much for my brain to cope with ! I'd have been tempted to buy the smoother had it not...

My vehicles are getting older and I've no reason to change. On long trips in the back of my mind I often wonder what would happen if I broke down and couldnt fix it myself. Ideally I'd like a breakdown service that would get my vehicle home so it could be taken to my local garage to be fixed if...

Just used a brand new clico chisel and it's amazing how well it performs. Makes me wonder if my chisel sharpener could do with a sharpen aswell. Before I send it off to be sharpened I'm wondering if someone's brought out a decent diamond version. I've seen several diamond cone shapes but none...

If I had a tv and deleted all the BBC channels would I still need a licence? I watch netflix and record the odd programme from the tv. I always thought the licence just paid for the BBC channels but after alot of googling it appears I need one which ever channel I watch (ITV etc) Most of the...

Lidl sell pasta pots I like for under £1.30. One of the wooden forks ended up in the sink . Cider is an influence but it got me wondering the forks must be steambent? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

If somebody starts a group chat can they automatically add me to the chat or do I have to accept the invitation, do I get the option to decline/ignore it ? I hung up my partying shoes almost 11 years ago but its still difficult for some of my old mates to accept those days are over. I still...

Do you think they would be more secure than traditional fasteners? I mostly make flush casements and with multi point locks it's fairly obvious where the angle grinder needs to be inserted into the joint to gain entry. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Any thoughts on how to best soundproof this compressor please ? I'm fairly limited for space on the sides but have 3+ inches on the back and unlimited space over it. I recently fitted an auto drain valve on the bottom that is pretty terrifying when it hisses and let's rip...

Any recommendations for a comfortable face/dust mask that will protect me whilst spraying a high voc content finish ? I use aluminium primer alot and over the weekend tried spraying it- much much quicker. The overspray sticks to the concertina spraybooth filter where as all the waterborne...

Confiscated these off my niece and turns out they make useful glue bottles. I usually use a syringe but the bottle means it can be kept full and ready to use. If you google "vaping needle bottle" on Ebay I think you can get 10 for under 4 quid. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Having a bit of a workshop rearrangement and ended up moving the compressor. Where its located now would make it a tad more difficult to get to the drain valve on the bottom to let the moisture out. I stumbled across this. I never knew such a thing existed. If it does work it'll be £16 well...

Taken from pinterest. The hippo one looks particularly good imho. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I'm after an electronic weather station. Something with wind and rain would be good. I bought one years ago for my dad (from maplin) and it was nothing but hassle. It kept losing signal and eating batteries. Any recommendations for a reliable unit please ? I don't want to be paying any more...

Guys any idea what could be causing it to stop and start ? https://1drv.ms/v/s!AoIHLHWc2o66baD4CxjG5sly_iA I bought it years ago for my dad to use and after a year of him not using it I thought I'd use it. It kept starting and stopping which I put down to the unheated garage causing water...
