It just happens that I may have an almost new Record DS300 for sale - it was bought new and used for maybe 30mins only so is certainly in as-new condition. I say maybe as the local mens shed I'm a member of has first dibs on it however after some months they are still prevaricating and due to a...

Haha!! The effect is down to the spectral emissions of the (painted or stained) surface you are viewing. Your eyes have a particular spectral range and a smartphone camera has a completely different one so what YOU see is not the same as what your phone sees. There's also the fact that some...

Hi I've not used Mixol dyes however years ago I did use Kolorit range of tint concentrates for a range of applications with water based latex emulsions, solvent based oil paints and even 2K pre-cat paints. I'm unsure if Kolorit are still in business, however I found them to be very good in all...

I have fond memories of a canary yellow Dolomite Sprint I bought 2nd hand with 25k on the clock, very quick in a straight line. I thrashed the @RSE off it and my wife was in tears when I drove it to a knackers yard with 96k on the clock! In later years I got back on my bike and commuted daily...

A great start and looking good! It's unclear what dims your joists are but given the bearers they are resting on I'd have thought you are good for ~400kg loading - my shed which is slightly larger @ 4x5m and with similar concrete support spans but 160mm deep joists has multiple 600Kg machines in...

If that was the case then it would be simple to follow the audit trail and either reconcile the disputed figures or confirm them, and along the way you would be able to highlight and track down any potential bugs. The fact that it would appear that Fujitsu had a room full of folks whose job it...

If it's any help I used the smallest radius of this Euro cutter to machine up maybe 30m of appliqued beading to an oak faced kitchen I made a while back - am sure you can find something similar for a router

Back in the day Hendersons - based just east of Romford, were the bees-knees for sliding doors - no doubt popularised by The Only Way is Essex....

Having spent most of my career working in the IT industry and within highly controlled financial services I watched the TV series with interest and I deduce that one operational problem that Horizon were 'fixing' in their back rooms and exposed by the whistle-blower was the fact that there...

The Post Office and its numerous subsidiaries are ultimately owned by The Crown and like many other government agencies they do not have to refer to other government reporting agencies - the police, CPS etc when prosecuting. I actually find it strange that most folk appear to lay the blame at...

Reminded me of an imprint I saw on a building in London a while back, unfortunately I didn't catch the deceased remains lying on the pavement below. Unsure whether the beak actually chipped the glass or not, the building since has been demolished !

Interesting thread, and I would agree that desiccant dehumidifiers are the way to go if you suffer from high humidity. In my 4x5m workshop the wall/roof construction is outside -> in cedar shingles ->breathable membrane -> 18mm ply -> 80mm studs infilled with foil backed Celotex ->15mm air-gap...

The mains powered GU10 style lamps have a super-cheap cct contained in the bases that does the job of rectifying then stepping down and current limiting the output. These obviously are built to a cost and are likely the thing that fails when the LED eventually dies, however the designs improve...

Led's themselves are very heat sensitive and usually in these types of light where it may comprise 20+ leds mounted in a small space, the PCB the leds are mounted on itself has a thick aluminium heat spreader and the external housing is then finned to allow air convection to dissipate the heat...

It may be the LED's in your boats had the electronics built in as do mains powered GU10 downlights etc. The components you describe are likely an inductor and associated devices that switch the input voltage at high frequency to control the likely lower voltage and constant current the LED's...

A couple of photo of the PCB - both sides may help identify. LED's are usually constant current devices and the voltage required is determined by the configuration of the LED module itself - these days a lot of lights comprise a number of LED's in a series/parallel so the operating voltage will...

Agree with Sideways analysis - I have a Jet DC-100a 1.5Kw chip extractor which I converted to a cyclone using a couple of 220l steel oil drums and it just about copes with the chips from my old 10inch planer thicknesser - that's with 100mm tubing. The cylcone itself, ramp etc contribute to...

Nearly correct, it also must only involve the perpetrator of the deed with no other casualties - in this instance the fact that her daughter was almost a victim would have disqualified her from the award

TBH its a relatively simple job for someone to turn down on a metal lathe once you've decided how to fix them - I'd have thought a push fit and CA or Araldite would work, Try on the metalwork forum, you may find someone local to you who could turn them for you - loads of options for the source...

I've not knowingly seen them anywhere - albeit I've never actually searched for them! It's the sort of thing anyone with a metalwork lathe could knockup quite simply from either stainless rod or by turning down some stainless bolts. Am sure others on this forum may have alternate advice.. I...
