I have to ask, is your square, square? There's the possibility that the one that fits is "wrong" and the three that don't are right :) Larger the square the worse they are in my experience unless it's a really expensive one - when was the last time you checked it? Framing squares are usually...

Going from that idea you could make that yourself. I'd think about using ROUND nuts though instead of square, would eliminate the hassle of snagging when doing the 90 deg transition, unless you absolutely must have the increased holding tension from the larger contact area? I've used round...

Just seen this thread - what a nice man you are to make such a stately home for the hedgehogs. I know we have hedgehogs living in our monster pampas grass (it's BIG, base is maybe 20 feet around) as I've seen them coming and going, and I've seen them on our deck a few times. I've been...

Tell him to make a new front door entrance outside the part stuck in 1644 and move it to 2019, that might help with the pestilance and plague issues, the listing might need some added ballast elsewhere to counteract it. I'd be interested in the rest of the replies though as I've recommended...

I'd forgotten about this design, but having suffered dimensioning some sheets not long ago on my knees on our deck propped on 2x4's this looks perfect for any in the future, and your mod of height and legs is also perfect for me as I'm 6'2 as well. To add rigidity to the legs so they don't bow...

Lovely box, and he's clocked the screws, it's those small things that show a lot of effort and pride has been put into this, well done SS.

hmm the 105 is a bit limiting, about the only thing I have inside those dimensions in a cardboard box is my cheap parkside jigsaw - I had thought about using it for all those boxes of screws, but some tealeaf might think there's a valuable tool inside and smash a window to get to it. Think I'll...

Interested, but could I have dimensions please? I've got several tools that came in cardboard boxes that could do with a better storage home.

I am the owner of a 419 and as long as you use the right blade for the cutting - rip for ripping - hardwood hasn't been a problem, slow careful feed obviously. So far I've had it a couple of years now and it's cut everything I've used, even having no issues with a full depth cut in hardwood...

I've seen a tilting router bed before and was being touted as a great way to use shaped cutters to cut profiles other than the cutter shape by using just a portion of it to get interesting beading shapes rather than going to the expense of having a bespoke shaped cutter made. His coment about...

I have several old wooden planes that need cleaning up - I'm not familiar with "hot wax treatment", are you submerging it then scraping off the wax and that brings the gunk with it - or something else?

wow great idea!

I have a wooden jack that was bought at Richard A's do last year (or possibly the one before) and has been skillfully altered into a smoother with a box inlay in front of the mouth to reduce it. I'm certain the shape was altered too, so in front and behind the blade area (what's that called on...

Well it could be - but I'd not put it past a person recording the name on her birth certificate getting it wrong (and the parents having either the sense of humor or other reason to leave it be) - I mean just look at these: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=names ... 17#imgrc=_

Well that's items not just this - but "we don't really have it" items nonetheless. that website scam list now shared on FB, TY.

Ahh but here's the thing Droogs - you cannot know for sure that Rutlands buyers didn't make efforts to find cheap, throw away but BIODEGRABLE set of brushes over say plastic handled versions. I've been using cheap PLASTIC HANDLED poundshop sets of brushes for such tasks where cleanup after is a...

I saw recently that they use the 4bar gas pressure test for waste water (sink, bathroom etc) systems in the USA to check for code compliance on a new build / major alteration - they also use 120 bar gas pressure test for mains water supply pipes (x2 mains pressure), to make sure all of it is up...

WOW MEEEOW! Handbags at dawn!

Really? I seem to recall a certain someone complaining about packages taking 2 weeks to get there and the lack of availability of certain products.... :wink: I saw a recent documentary with Simon Reeve about the med and a trip around the Greek and Turkish sides of Cyprus, so it's not quite...

Some of us are in bigger sh** already, but it's yet to hit the first nations of the world because we keep taking more than our share in our 5 TV, 3 car, 2 homes (or more) society - and I doubt any real change will happen until people can't get their lattemochachino with sprinkles anymore because...
