Bosch copying what Metabo pioneered long before them with their cordless alliance (CAS). The great benefit of collaboration like this, in my eyes, is that it helps specialist tool manufacturers stay afloat as the world goes more and more cordless. Fein, as just one example, make good tools but...

Actually no. It is more nuanced than that, though HMRC are near the top of the pecking order, among the preferential creditors and will be paid before most others. This is another reference with more detail...

Of listening to the neverending tales of woe of friends who did.

Any sort of listing, even "locally listed", is a car crash. Your project is dependent on the opinions, prejudices, biasses, stupidity, unreasonableness, ignorance and self interest of a whole bunch of people who you have no influence over and no comeback against. It might work out OK, but has...

Time for a new hobby then :) Welcome.

I tried similar with three Milwaukee 18v packs recently. Beware of "new" batteries made years ago that have just been sitting in storage and self discharging. (Milwaukee packs actually have the date of manufacture faintly etched on them) Anyway, a lab type power supply (even a cheap one) is...

For interest. This is from the .gov website summarising the hierarchy of claims on an insolvent business. Cut and paste without edit : "Distribution of proceeds The rights of a creditor who holds a fixed charge on assets (such as a mortgage) to sell the asset to recover their debt are not...

Be proactive. Everyone else will be. Review your contract terms as @AJB Temple says. This is important. Contact the administrators as @Noel says. State what you are owed and assert your rights over your property if title is still yours. The administrators are required to follow the hierarchy...

A cheap motorcycle scissor lift and spin it up and down with a cordless drill. I'm finding one surprisingly useful. Taking the weight of a 20kg motor while bolting it into place, as a support for the outboard end of long planks so they can be exactly levelled for the chop saw....

Being happily controversial: all router tables except the £1,000 plus combos are rather naff and many are simply horrid. Just screw your router to the underside of a plank and make a fence from a bit of wood. Burn it when you're done with it.

@micky L in case they're set to receive email notifications...

Evo stick contact cement ?

Bowl blank is going to be a couple of inches thick presumably. And maybe several inches across. For the thickness, I'd just be going for a coarse 3 or 4 TPI blade as you will be swinging through cross grain to ripping. You're going to turn it anyway so you don't need a smooth finish off the saw...

Excellent xy table for the money. The drill I'd sell on. Not a patch on the meddings. But the weight of Meddings tables without any rack and pinion lift has always seemed dumb to me. I think your hydraulic bottle jack is the way to go, or a block and a 2' pry bar for times when the table is low...

He's this guy who once got to make a movie with Uma Thurman.

What sort of bikes ? Compared to a dinghy, there are plenty of big heavy bikes that could impose a much bigger point load on the frame and potentially bend those square section tubes if you hit a pothole. Bikes might carry their weight higher up too, so you'll need to arrange good anchor points...

Stanley Black & Decker have ruined every company they bought by cost reducing everything while milking the customer goodwill towards the brands they acquire. I despise them more than you do. What I'd like to see is a company that claims to make some of the finest handmade saws, stepping up and...

Check the speed of indicators flashing in case you have a super ancient flasher relay that relies on a bimetal strip and not one using electronics. Those used to blink faster when you connected extra light bulbs in parallel with the ones in the vehicle. Shows you how long it is since I wired a...
