    Sandpaper distressed wood finish

    So - as a person who has dabbled with various distressed type wood finishes in my own work, sandblasting, wire brushing, fire, scuffing, ageing to name a few, I MIGHT have been able to help if the post was still live and I probably still would if you re-considered. However you'll have to excuse...

    My mate Billy

    Sorry for your loss Phil, he looks like he was a fine dog. It's odd how other pets know when something is wrong - my friends cat was pawing at him in the early hours one day which woke him up, and it went to the other room where the dogs slept and one looked like it was having a mild siezure...

    R.I.P Nice victims

    Again with the twisting of words rorshack, he didn't mention a specific religion or that he followed a particular faith himself and denouced another - it never ceases to amaze me what BS you manage to construct from nothing.

    What would you charge for this?

    We need a sticky for this question it comes up so often. That vid on pricing is also very good and helped me view my pricing better.

    Making chisels out of files

    I made one from a jigsaw blade, single bevel but spear point - works very well and lasts for ages before needing a touch up, I did a WIP here which you might be able to find, but there are others as well from forumites.

    Imperial vs Metric

    Actually.... it isn't, and never was. I read in the New Scientist that even though the speed of light is represented scientifically as the letter "C" - it was proven some time ago that the speed of light is altered depending on what it's traveling through - which is obvious when you take the...

    Cutting steel rod (16 mm) so it has a square end

    Sounds a bit like a challenge to me :) but I would do it freehand for something that thin. Most of my rod cutting is with threaded rod but personally that's a bit of a pita when cutting with a hacksaw as the blade wants to follow the thread grooves. (and you seem to be missing a couple of...

    I made a boom arm for a cable, hose or airline...has anyone else made one?

    Been on my todo list for a while for the same reasons - ideally though I'd like a retracting one.

    Cutting steel rod (16 mm) so it has a square end

    Being honest, I am wondering why all the complications? 16mm rod is easily cut almost square by eye with an angle grinder (ensure all proper protections taken ofc) then file flat using some sacrifical wood jaws in your vice to run against. If you do several you can gang them and draw file or...

    Orbital sanders that discs stick to!

    yup gluing on velcro works no problem - have replaced my old bosch pad twice doing this - there is one thing you must make sure of though (caps for emphasis) BUY MICRO VELCRO not the "normal" stuff, on the "normal" stuff the hooks are too large for sanding pads, micro velcro with tiny hooks...

    The Chop, Sky History (Sky 123)Thuesday 15th 9:00

    Considering that they can't even get one of the presenters names right - have a look in the synposis.... :rolleyes: production values can't be all that great. Will Hardie on his own, maybe, but the other two? No thanks.

    Contacting Amazon

    I have to say when there has been an issue I've had no problems either - when I bought 3 sets of bluetooth headphones ( I couldn't make my mind up) the package only had 2 and it looked like it had been tampered with (one side was open), using their online help I got a refund no problem, and when...

    Haha, pretty funny, played more than a few games like that.

    Curry's. - Do NOT buy anything from them at the moment.

    People DID NOT ASK FOR FRAUDULENT BEHAVIOUR. Currys having stock flow issues does not give them the right to take money for backorders then go silent. Please give me the name of your business rorschach, because if you think this is OK, I think you might do the same. RogerS - I would put out a...

    Hancock's Half Hour

    I don't know rorshcach, maybe it was the whole "I'm happy to let [old] people die so that I don't lose any money from an enforced lockdown" you kept spouting repeatedly that got some peoples backs up - or possibly the "I don't think wearing masks makes any difference" - or quite possibly it...

    Work Boots

    I've been impressed with these Dunlop boots, lasted several years worth of resonable, but not daily use, no splits around the sole, so much so I'll definitely buy 2 pairs (maybe 3) so I've got spares - It's always annoying when you find a pair of footwear that's really comfortable and then they...

    David Stanley auctions

    I have to agree with Billw - a lot of those planes are common, so common dealers will already have more than they can sell, but on here I would assume each one will fetch a reasonable price, rather than get used for parts to get a "best example that sells for top money" out of 5 usable but...

    How flat is "flat"?

    Myself and I'm sure many other people new to handwork fell down, nay, RAN down that particular rabbit hole until I finally got it in my head that wood moves even day to day (hour to hour?), let alone season to season. It's a factor we all know yet it took quite a while, probably a year of...

    Face masks

    It's clear you have decided that your right to live your life in the manner that suits you the most, overrides the conventions and requirements that keep other people inside the boundaries of legal and social morality. That is the absolute definition of a sociopath, and the self confessed fact...
