    It's taken a long time to build this, because I'm lazy.

    When someone has already made something, to post "You don't want to do it like that" as an alternative is suggesting they did it wrong which is insulting and very unhelpful.

    Another Harry Enfield "You don't want to do it like that you want to do it like this", I think you need to change your avatar to "Only Me"

    LVLP spray gun and compressor?

    Any HVLP gun run off a compressor is a compromise and will not give the advantages of a real HVLP set up, less overspray, uses less paint and the air is warmed through the turbine and helps the paint to go on smoother and dry's quicker, when I sprayed four 2.5M high doors I could start at one...

    Does a Metal garage roof increase the temperature in the summer?

    I would leave the existing roof alone and over clad with a corrugated bitumen roofing of some kind, with the correct ridge and side piece's.

    LVLP spray gun and compressor?

    I did not think anyone used air tools anymore, modern battery tools are so convenient without air lines, never cooled a MIG or TIG weld on any car panels I have welded the gas from the weld does the cooling, I think you may be a bit behind the times Chris. 😜

    Table Saw Choices

    It is correct, the majority of these smaller table saws are only at a maximum 2hp that is way under 16amps, its the surge current on starting that may, I repeat may trip an MCB, this can be compensated for by using an MCB that is motor compatible and has a delayed trip time, obviously these need...

    LVLP spray gun and compressor?

    Most all the F1 teams now days use HVLP equipment, recommend Fuji which surprisingly is Canadian, hose length is long enough to put the turbine outside and spray inside. https://www.axminstertools.com/instantsearch/result/?q=fuji%20spray

    Table Saw Choices

    All a bit of a fallacy on the need for separate supplies for a 16amp machine, most will work off a 32amp ring main without a problem, it just depends what you have on at the same time, and the rating (A, AC, D etc) of the MCB or even the RCD/RCBO supplying the circuit, I used to run mine off a...

    Table Saw Choices

    Axminster out of stock, Lumberjack has a bigger cutting capacity, but both have riving knifes taller than the blade, this may not be a consideration for you, for £300.00 more: Axminster Professional AP254SB Table Saw Have you thought of a work bench and plunge rail saw instead?

    Sowing the First Seeds of 2023

    Sowing the First Seeds of 2023

    Have not been into gardening long so had to look up "Araucaria Araucana" to find its common name as "Monkey Puzzle Tree" you learn something new everyday, well I do even at 75, but I do get Begonia's and Gardenias mixed up. 😱

    Sowing the First Seeds of 2023

    Never thought of that, but the Radish was like a lump of Oak. 🥴 I would show some pic's of the cucumbers and tomatoes in the Greenhouse, but thought them a bit boring. Second year of growing flowers seem to be a success:

    Great Rejoinders

    A rather obnoxious fishing club member challenged me on the river one day asking "Are you a member" to which I relied "Yes" his retort was "I have never seen you before" to which I replied "We have both been very lucky"
