    Planer/Thicknesser

    Hi there Yes I bought direct from S&S. For me, it hasn't missed a beat. I have the ITECH extractor (with micro filter) about 5 feet away with a very short hose. No issues (works as advertised) I really like the counter on the handle - I feel I get really accurate readings/results on mine, and...

    Wood Identification Required

    Hi all, I bought a couple of 3m steel rods and they were taped to this plank of wood. Quite heavy, looks like hardwood and wondered if anyone knows what it might be? It's 100mm x 20mm x 3m

    Planning Permission - any cautionary tales of woe and despondency?

    Don't forget to consider The Party Wall Act Companies in London (and other places) monitor planning applications and then write to your neighbours to generate a fee paying job (scumbags). Although they are correct in what they advise. It's nothing to fear as the Party Wall Act is an enabling...

    And BREXIT Bites

    NordVPN is a shockingly bad VPN. Terrible speeds and constant disconnects. They sucker you in with low cost. But trust me I used them daily for a few years. Pay that little extra and get a proper VPN service - I use Express VPN, and it's worth every penny. Just my 2 cents of course. And no I'm...

    Tool Wall Panel Organiser

    Tool Wall Panel Organiser

    Yes there are straight pins, but they are a right bugger to screw in. I tried many methods to help get them in (lubricant, leaving a hook and then cutting that off after, pliers, filing a flat etc) The best method I used was a pair of new long nosed mole grips and setting the grip as hard as I...

    Tool Wall Panel Organiser

    The template was used to help me lay them out and pick the final location. Then I hung it on the wall to guide me as I went.
