    workshop/shed

    Yes, insulation will help a lot. Metal sheds will get a lot of condensation which will cause rust on tools etc, and difficulties with timber movement if you leave it in there (as it will pick up moisture) and when you bring it in it will shrink/split. Any heat you do put in will also be lost...

    Started the workshop at last

    Big ones. That sounds heavy. I bought some gate hinges from Wickes. See here (make sure you get captive ones so someone can't simply lift the doors off). I modified a few coach bolts to really secure them right through the frame. (for some reason the holes weren't big enough to accept 6mm...

    Advice & considerations for buying a first table saw...

    Like Gidon, I have a folding RHS table and a sliding table. The RHS has probably only been used 6 times in the as many years, and the sliding table gets used time and time again. Obviously this is my preference as Tony got rid of his straight away but I personally think if you can afford the...

    Jons workshop (pictures...!)

    Just imagine..... Couple of nails brushed in, hit the fan on the way through the extractor, small spark which sits in a bed of sawdust for a few hours, gently smoulding.....

    Connector type.?

    Scheppach should supply the mating half to that, at least they did on each item I have purchased. Is it worth a call to NMA Agencies in Brighouse as they are the UK Importers. Adam

    F&C Editors choice 2007

    I looked through it, laughed at the complete irrelevance and utter lack of effort that had been applied to it and dropped it straight into the recycling. Yes, it seriously undermines their credibility and, as you said, the omissions were glaring. Adam

    Scheppach saw unit

    All the Scheppach Rip Fences, right back to my old Aluminium TS2500 are adjustable. So I can pull it back for wild timber and leave it longer (not that I bother) for man-made panels. Adam

    Scheppach 4020

    If thats the table saw, Scheppach specify you have a 20amp outlet fitter I think. I have the TS2500, and I measured the steady-state, free running current at 10amps I think. Surge would be approximately twice that. I guess the bigger saws would have a bigger requirement, but its not going to be...

    Tis the season to....build a workshop!

    I got it from Travis Perkins, and its very expensive. Better to either A) buy a part quantity of ebay? Possibly? Not sure if thats possible or not Or B) I do have some left over, so if you are interested, perhaps we could sort out a price and I could send it? PM if interested. Adam

    Tis the season to....build a workshop!

    I agree, I have vapour membrane immediately under my shiplap (which is great for stopping airflow, but if I did it again, I'd make a cavity - to allow the air to circulate and B) to allow an extra gap which in the summer will improve insulation from the sun. Adam

    Adobe Acrobat - alternatives?

    You can save as PDF from open office. (which is free to download). So you can open all your word documents, and save as PDF using the "word" equaivalent in open office. Adam

    Adams Workshop (finished!) very very long post with photos..

    OK, OK, I know I had a workshop thread already, but I thought it would be useful to consolidate it into a single thread, into which all the photos etc could be in a single series, and in addition, I could incorporate a few pictures I didn't use originally. To reduce download times, I've also...

    Another compresser query? Noise?

    I built the workshop with it (nail gun) - Main Use (also the fence out the back) Pumping tyres Blowing dust out of the pores of wood - invaluble and a revelation when you give it a go! Adam

    Advice needed on selling machines

    For maximum return, photograph each carefully, and offer them individually on ebay. Without doubt the best method to achieve a good price. Adam

    Taking Photos of my work

    I photograph everything, but then I always have an eye on selling the article later, so a wide selection of photos always helps! Adam

    Jammed workshop door lock -Help please

    My first instinct was smash the window! I've put bars behind my windows, I got the local metal suppliers to cut it all to length first to make it easy for me! Adam

    Popups

    I thought there was some underlying program (probably messenger) which could launch popups - and Microsoft enable it by default that was being hijacked by spam generators to launch pop up windows. In fact it was on here that I was reading it a long long time ago. Maybe worth a search? Adam

    a vague question about a spindle moulder

    Get it bought. Worst case you don't like it - you get if flogged on ebay. Best case you think its great and keep it. Second best case you don't like it and sell it for a profit on ebay. Adam

    Now Sorted

    I would like to second that. If there is anything we can do to help, let us know. Doesn't have to detail the problem, just what we could do to help and I'm sure people would pitch in. Adam

    I'm speechless

    Plant a line of leylandii? :twisted: Add a few floodlights pointing their way on the side of your property? Build a workshop with the dust extractor clamped on that side? OK, as everyone has said, but it is worth talking to your solicitor (as well as actually working out who owns the...
