Or get a leaf spring from a car and make one. Pete

Other end of the country closer to you and France. 😉 Pete 😬

I have the baby brother to scholer's Lumber Wizard 5, the Little Wizard II. Lumber Wizard Little Wizard II Metal Detector I don't use if very often primarily because I rarely mess with salvaged wood anymore. It does the job nicely but because of it's small size takes a while to check a lot of...

I took artie's post as hilarious in that someone says they don't have you number but are using it to contact you. 🤣 If you are dumb enough to fall for it then perhaps you should be taken. I add them to the blocked sender list and delete. Same when I get an email from a real friend wanting me...

Before answering I'd like to know a few things. #1) Is the casting going to be used as cast or worked later, further shaping? Polishing? #2) What type of resin are you planning to use? Polyester casting resin? Epoxy Casting resin? Urethane casting resin? #3) Do you need these to be bubble free...

Limey if he hasn't a genetically good brain that isn't able to recognize and avoid danger he can pass that trait on to his spawn. Same as bad vision, hearing, flat feet, extra fingers, hemophilia, insanity and British teeth 😉. Pete

He can use the other arm to wipe the sweat off his brow. 😅 The original reciprocating saw. Pete

I would never pick up a reciprocating saw to make straight cuts. That isn't their forte. Besides they vibrate a lot and that isn't good for the hands. Circular saw will cut straighter, faster and cleaner. Pete

To be eligible for a Darwin Award you have to do something that removes your reproductive organs or removes you from the planet before you have had kids. He will be able to sire twits with mangled hands so he isn't eligible. He is a good candidate for the Nice Boy But Dumb Bunch though. Pete

Because the gals that couldn't get the job would get mad. Pete

I was only using the T8 as an example ($1132Cad at the moment for the machine without attachments) as it was a quick and easy comparison between countries. Some of the hand tools like the various Sloyd knives are more to my liking and the shipping should be decent should I succumb to the tool...

Given that the OP asked for a router bit in the first place and said it is "a completely new area for me." I gave him a suggestion that should be relatively easy for him to accomplish given that he lives in London and not in the weeds. I also expect that he doesn't have much in the way of hand...

Saw/tool sharpening places can modify stock router bits for special tasks. Ask around and see if any near you can help. Pete

Their Tormek T8 is half the price we pay so for some of the goodies they might be an option for me. :) Pete

I enjoy opening your threads. You have enviable skills and I thank you for sharing some of them. Pete

The rubber rollers can be reconditioned for a reasonable amount, much less than replacement rollers if they are available. Search "Urethane Roller Reconditioning" and you will be able to pick from a number, possibly a short drive away. They will peal off the old rubber from the shaft and cast...

I'm no expert by any means. You can make the adjustments with light taps with a hammer/soft faced/brass/wood mallet. Soft face is a good place to start so you don't do any damage. The small steel conical tack forward of the mouth or the back of the body will retract the blade when tapped...

Bill his only post was that one and it appears he has never been back. I got stung by a brand new someone on another forum that came into a thread with "I have some of those if anyone wants them." Their first post and I got suckered and sent them some money. Never got the goods nor were they...

If it is any consolation to you a guy down the road put up two sheds and after 6 years there has never been any siding on it. The OSB is a little weathered (grey) and swollen a little. That said we only get about 10" of precipitation a year. Your rot may vary. 🤣 Maybe the new owners will clad...

If untreated wood is kept dry it will last forever. Good roof, gutters, siding, on a foundation above ground, etc. Unless you have wood munching insects that go after it. How did sheds, houses and barns get built before treated wood? Pete
