Years ago my roommate and I were drinking and a girl called wanting to sell restaurant coupon books for a couple hundred bucks. We took turns talking and kept her and her supervisor on the phone for an hour and a half. 😈 No sale.😂 Pete

Welcome. I understand the process you use but don't do it myself. I as I'm sure others would like to see some pictures if you are inclined. Pete

So are artificial sweeteners but people still use them. 😝 Besides his kids won't get beatings for tracking mud in the house. 😉 Pete

There are Finnish Birch plywoods that are down to .4mm. Probably more than you would want to pay but might worth looking into. https://www.pbplywood.com/0.8mm-finnish-birch-plywood.html https://www.aircraftspruce.ca/catalog/wppages/finnishbirch.php Pete

No help now but the type of abrasive blasting done has a great influence on the damage it can inflict on the parts. There are a number of blasting media available but most places use cheap and rough which don't matter a lot when blasting cast iron fences and bulldozer blades. We used to have...

The seller should be telling you what they want unless you are trying to get an ides of the worth compared to the asking price. I would pay a couple hundred pounds at most in part because of the tool box and some of the individual tools are worth a fair bit. The pairing chisels for example. The...

Ryobi were once an equal to Makita and Hitachi when they were made in Japan until they were sold off to one of the big companies, run by shareholders and accountants. Those people drove them into the low end consumer, almost disposable market. Same sort of thing that happened to Delta, Rockwell...

So after starting the rain on your parade in post 12 I'll give you my, if I were going to, ideas. I would cut all the bevels on my table/cabinet saw and a sled. I would use my Lamello biscuit tool to join it all together. To hang it I would attach stand offs to the wall using a relatively thin...

You mean all his screw driver bits from the battery tools? In the combs of a bee hive. 🐝 Pete

You could rototill (rotavator) and then push it all to one side and rototill the untilled soil. Then amend and push the pile back out and amend it. Now you have in essence double dug it. You are lucky lots of the 9 acres I'm on has only 2 or 3 inches of topsoil and the rest has at most 6" of...

If you have to ask if you are mad then you can pretty much take comfort in knowing you are. 🤪 Being from the land of dado blades I would set up a sacrificial fence and raise the dado blades up along side it. Finger boards to press the wood against the fence and on the fence holding the board...

I'll be the unheard voice of reason for a few minutes. While you may think you have lots of room it won't be long before you don't. For that reason I urge you to adopt a more traditional design with vertical sides, perhaps a tool cabinet with the tools displayed and at hand maximizing the...

Actually not so good for soil as is sawdust. When it breaks down it uses up the nitrogen and the soil is worse. Pete

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to measure it. Pete

Buying from turning suppliers is one option but have you done any searches for industrial suppliers that either make or distribute the wheels? They are often less expensive and know their products because they sell a lot more than any retailer...

Derek we are saying the same in a way. I mentioned the aluminium CBN wheels and know the 1/2hp grinder can be helped to start but if it isn’t the motor will eventually fail. The OP also mentioned wanting to put 40mm/1 1/2” wide CBNs on where the original grinding wheels were probably 25mm/1”...

Keep in mind CBN wheels are heavier than the stones you replace them with. If mounting two your grinder should be bigger than 1/2hp, preferably 1hp. There are some CBN wheels that are machined from aluminium instead of steel which would alleviate that concern. A good machinist could machine off...

Shake or blow out the dust and put it in a clear plastic bag. Go to every place selling shop vacs and compare it to their replacement cartridges. You will likely find a match. Many filters are used in different brands and are the same under different part numbers. Examples below...

The best anti vibration gloves I have ever found are the Impacto Air Glove. One UK source. There are many. Impacto BG408 Impact Vibration Air Gloves - SafetyGloves.co.uk I have problems with vibration and they allow me to use a tool for an hour where without my fingers would be tingling and...

Cut up and stickers to dry for a year or two would yield some good wood for outdoor furniture. If I had a few I'd be tempted to cut down from the hoop far enough to use it for an anvil stand. Pete
