The early Datsuns WERE junk, they just were; just as REGULARLY seen now in china, manufactured to the lowest cost, and only after a significant number of failures and issues did they raise the standard to get continued sales. It was the reverse of Western manufacturing ethos at the time which...

It probably could be made out of hardwood with a Tslot in the centre, rebates on the upper sides and V grooves on the bottom - from the looks of it, could also be made wider to add a bit more wood bulk to the side areas. Another possibility might be to have one sand casted with aluminium using...

REALLY???? that's crazy and err I'm interested more details by PM plz.

Paper maps of the A-Z travel variety that show you how to "get somewhere" tend not to tell you where the nearest hospital / clinic is, foreign or domestic, or emergency dentist, or any number of hundreds of other important things you might need to find, near to wherever you happen to be at that...

Please show me the name calling, moderators feel free to jump in. I also never said he was ignorant - I asked if he was aware that sheet steel comes in a huge variety of thicknesses and tensile strengths, and implying that million pound swiss machinery uses THE SAME sheet steel as the items...

They have gone down for one simple reason - people generally have no clue as to the realities of the cheaper tat they are buying, and thus sellers of quality machines are forced to price according to the knowledge of the ignorant. You ARE aware that sheet steel comes in a range of thicknesses...

That's a fine piece of furniture you have there; I know what you mean about router slips, have had a few myself and they are so disheartening, but on the plus side the next time it happens, and it will, you'll feel more confident about fixing it, and the "I know it's there" yeah I (we all) know...

Those pictures are just WILD - AMAZING, that's an incredible talent you have there. This one looks how I imagine a cows face would look staring at you, if one was on a real bender of an acid trip.

I was lucky enough to spend some time in the USA recently and visit the Metropolitan Museum of New York, "The Met". Walking around the Egyptian exhibits I spotted something quite interesting - 2 wooden boxes that had been buried with a Pharaoh - what caught my eye was the corner joints...

For what it's worth, I've got one of these and was impressed, yes it's an older model, but that's also good because it was made when Axminster was a brand that was worth something instead of the chinglish imported crap now. I bought mine second hand also basically unused, brushes are a standard...

I've often wondered why a person whom owns a commercial space is willing to let it stand with ZERO rental income often for years instead of lowering the rent to a point someone will take it - it baffles me. I made this point years ago and someone said it was to do with the proprty value or...

I was in the US for 6 weeks recently and went to Home Depot and various other outlets* and was staggered at the price differences for larger work related machines - for example the dewalt 7485 250mm tablesaw was just $399. - that's a shade under £300.... in the UK it's £550 ($737 USD) yet they...

FB marketplace is rife with scams - I saw a £900 lego set advertised for just £73 - checked thier account page and a whole list of VASTLY underpriced items on it, and FB marketplace was the only activity - I reported the account, but kept an eye on it - it got deleted. Up to you if you do the...

As to the first, again the timeframe of ebay means sometimes you've just got to throw a bid on; and you're forgetting distance, if it was easy for him to go see it, I'm sure RobinBHM would have, he's not stupid To the second, again ebay timeframes, blah blah etc etc. - Asking questions IS NOT...

Personally, not really, but then I got snubbed on this forum when I wanted to buy something that was £400 and would have cost another £100 to get it palleted to me, and when I asked for clarification and assurances I then got a VERY "stuffed shirt" response that I had somehow accused the seller...

I bought one - the very forst thing I did with it was attach it to one of these: Amazon.co.uk

Copy from the "gofundme" thread (hope the mods will allow) On the original post, someone said about donating tools - maybe the same could be done here but for money? Offering things they don't use up for sale with the price going to the gofund me and the "buyer" just paying the "seller"...

On the original post, someone said about donating tools - maybe the same could be done here but for money? Offering things they don't use up for sale with the price going to the gofund me and the "buyer" just paying the "seller" postage? I'll bet there's lots of things hanging around that...

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO - absolutely not. WAAAAY too many risks for the upside. We had a member here whom has long since departed for another forum whom had stored a lot of equipment on a farm - got stolen, even the big machines, gone. Farms are often remote, with little to no security, and easy...

Facebook marketplace, freegle, freecycle and gumtree are all good sources of free or cheap wood - bedframes, old doors (my personal favorite) etc.
