And for anyone else reading later, don't ever use one of those jet wash turbo lances with the spinning metal bead in the nozzle on wood. It rips little circles into them waaay worse than this.

This was all widely reported several years ago and I have no idea if anything was ever done about it, but: Amazon were notorious for not having proper control of their stock. Marketplace sellers supply goods to the amazon warehouses where amazon just dumped all identical product sold on behalf...

Sorry to hear you're disappointed with these Roy as I spoke up for them. I do agree that they're a two handed clamp. I cant think of any way that any of the six in your first photo are single handed use upside down and dropped through a dog hole. They don't even work well single handed when they...

Get on youtube, watch some Ashley Harwood videos and then get on and show him how to do it ! In our house, the girls are the artistic ones and I love that.

That's a good observation. Part of the joy of woodworking is learning the manual skill. At the same time, powertools nudge us towards the boundary with "engineering", and there the use of jigs, repeatable precision, all the toyota manufacturing system techniques aimed at eliminating error and...

I used to have the Kity. I imagine any dewalt site saw these days will be driven by a universal, brush, motor. Noisy as hell but powerful. The kity / scheppach are powered by an 1100W induction motor. Much less powerful, but also long lived, quieter and smoother. Altogether nicer if you can live...

Spot on, male and female brass bushes in 20, 25mm or bigger. Two male brass bushes can be used with a galvanised coupler intended for joining steel tube conduit to do the same job with an inch or so gap rather than direct contact. I haven't tried to find fire rated cable clips as big as you...

Putting that image back through goole image search brings up this .... All else aside, there's no way this is anyone's first work !

A Norwegian stavkirke in 1984. My slides are buried away but I think it was Fantoft on the outskirts of Bergen. Interesting history to this one. It was moved to Bergen from Stavanger in the 1880's to save it, but it was burnt to the ground in the 1990's after our visit and rebuilt. The leader of...

Those of us born after the war but of an age, may have watched "The World At War" back when we were kids. It leaves an indelible impression. Recently my daughter sat and watched the 6 parter on Netflix - WW2 "From the Front Lines". I remarked how it covered the events of the 2nd war so much...

What makes you think the answers are honest or meaningfull, any more than anything on the internet ? 😂

I bought a couple of the toughleads remote controls, keyfobs and a longer range orange remote after they were mentioned on UKW. I fitted each in a spare corner of one of these big mennekes distribution boxes with a 40A schneider 4 pole (2NO 2NC) contactor in front to do the work. The 40A...

Darn ! I'm a guy who thinks router tables are grossly overrated but I've just realised that a custom table made just for profiling long narrow stock would be great for moulding custom dominoes to fit the tight, medium and sloppy domino setting. The dark side beckons and it's all Doug's fault !

You mention business. Record Power are a hobby / DIY machine, not a trade tool. But I imagine bandsawing only takes a very short time compared to carving, unless you are one of the guys that does big stuff with chain saws and arbortech power carving tools and goes through blanks at a rate of...

Higher vibration means more tea breaks :) Don't tough it out. That's bad for you.

Any idea where they have them made ? It's my impression that the Axy own brand planes hail from India. Maybe made for them by Soba ?

It's called a reamer. Used to finish a drilled hole to a smooth and precise size. They are a tool for use in metal and at that size will need quite a lot of force to turn. They are used with thin oil and turned at slow speed under a fair amount of pressure. The chips produced are very fine. I...

Look at the specs of the most expensive festool and mirka deros random orbit sanders for what will be somewhere near the state of the art. These guys will be selling to industrial manufacturers who take hse seriously. Low vibration will translate into more productive hours, employee satisfaction...

I'm very new to the domino. Only just got one. On first experiments, tight is absolutely that. Hammer tap in fit, I can't push a domino in by hand. If you have an edge or some such to positively index the tool off, and get the holes to exactly line up, that's great. If you have a row of multiple...
