That’s terrifying, was he wearing safety glasses?

Well yes, but then is there not a trade-off with a lack of control? If I don’t control the wood properly through the cut am I not increasing the risk of kickback, which may not remove a digit but it can still do a fair bit of damage. I would hope to never need the sawstop mechanism, but it...

I was just thinking as I got to your comment that there seemed to be some very “I told you so” responses here which aren’t really helpful. As a total amateur/DIYer I’ve had to learn what little I know from places like here, Reddit, and YouTube (not the greatest of resources). My attitude is...

You can actually buy dense plasterboard specially made for soundproofing

As others have posted, sound waves travel by vibration so adding mass to your walls makes them harder to vibrate. The heavier something in the harder it is to move, so rule 1 is choose dense materials to build it with. The second rule would be to try to cut the vibrations off. When I was...

Have you still got the garage door hole? If so then you can brush it out with a sweeping brush

If you can stretch your budget slightly I may be tempted to part way with my Dewalt dws 780. It’s actually a really good saw but it’s just massive and i only have a small garage workshop so could do with something with a smaller footprint.

I don’t look down on people that drink instant, it just doesn’t taste like coffee.

For me it was never about adding to the coffee, it was about reducing from my work load. If we are working on the understanding that instant granules are simply not coffee, then shoving a pod in a machine and tapping the go button is the easiest route to getting coffee. Beyond that I looked at...

Well yes, but back when I had a tassimo machine there was no option but to send it to landfill as the pods were not recyclable. Out of interest are their pods still plastic? The Nespresso pods are aluminium and so the aluminium can be reused infinitely. Recycling plastics requires the polymer...

Yes but trees grow back, plastic dumped in landfill stays in landfill forevermore. I wasn’t aware you could recycle tassimo, they didn’t used to be recyclable back when I had one. The list of coffee you’ve outlined are all different shapes and sizes of the same actual coffee some with...

Sorry pal, I don’t realise guybrators were an actual thing 😂 I thought it was just a nickname for the tool as it’s a man’s vibrator, kinda like those T-shirts that say sawdust is man glitter

If you use dewalt batteries on a Milwaukee with an adapter then you’ll need to keep an eye on how much charge you have left in the battery. As I understand it using batteries on other brands tools allows the battery to empty completely, which basically breaks the battery. A dewalt tool won’t...

Interesting, I didn’t spend £300 but I got 25% discount. I was one of the first people to buy after it went live at midnight though.

We all know they make some lovely looking stuff that is frankly eye-wateringly expensive. Well, now it’s 25% less so. Only running until Monday though so be quick if you want to take advantage of it. And for fellow non-professionals, beware the vat is added in right at the end of the checkout...

There’s a pretty good review video looking at most the major brands here. Also if you are looking at dewalt and already have batteries then there are much better deals in the market that the one you’ve linked as that doesn’t look to come with any accessories. Literally the first link on google...

Maybe, but does it clean itself? I just stick a pod in and press a button on mine and coffee comes out. Then occasionally I empty a bucket into a recycling bag, and that’s it. Yours probably makes better coffee than mine, but I wouldn’t ever makie it through the learning phase of a machine like...

Think you must have a duff machine, mine come out piping hot every time. I used to have tassimo and never got on with it. Terrible for the environment as their pods are plastic and not recyclable, and you had to go out to the supermarket to buy pods (I’m lazy) also significantly less choice...

Go for Nespresso virtuo, they are the dome shaped pods. They mage bigger cups than the traditional Nespresso ones do. Nespresso will deliver to your door and then collect the used pods from you 👍

I use Nespresso and my pods get recycled. The pods are made of aluminium and they collect the used ones from me when they deliver new ones. It’s only aluminium and compostable coffee grinds so I don’t see how they would be bad for the environment.
