I boil the ones I get in water and Ferry liquid. I place the stones on blocks, add water and Ferry until they are covered and slowly bring the boil. This washes the oil and crud out. I then let them dry out in a warm dry place. Then steep them in a light oil. Last time I used Duck oil. At Men...

Yes they were, plus seen some in a local hardware shop.

B&Q had some a few months back. Try there, they sell them as a repair item.

Pan Grab. Move the middle to suit the edge of the pan, grip move.

Avoide the tool shop in stallbridge, they will not give you a fair price. Take an example to The Shambles in Devizes, to show the man, he will be honest with you. I speak from experience.

Mix damp newspaper, press into tubes, fire logs for garden fire. Or add coke of coal dust for a better heat.

A vice repair. Cast vice, the item was dropped. Brazed up. OA kit. Finished.

Clean the cracks well. Grind or file a chamfer onto the edges. Then braze it it. You can weld it, but that way can lead to much more fun. Pre-heating, welding and cooling. Braze will give it the strength you need. Done 2 in the past.

Put the anodes into the solution. More the better, leaving 25mm to 50mm above the level top. Then link them together with normal copper wire.

Dish washer or pool Salt (1/2 pint) Water (1/4 pint) Distilled White Vinegar (5%, 3/4pint) Washing up soap (1/4 pint) Measurement cups. Dispensing bottle. Mix the ingredients together. If the salt has not dissolved add more water or vinegar. This works well on Ivy and other waxed leaves...

If the new tyres are a push fit over the wheel yes. But the supplier. OE or after market should advise. But that is mainly on the much older machines. Modern tyres are a stretch fit over and will not need glue. The tyres are there to give a bit of cushioning as well as grip to the blade. When...

Strip the handles off. Mix up 1tbls of Citric acid powder to 1ltr of water. Place the blades in and leave.. Remove, using heat dry them well. Using wire wool the steel with come up a treat. Warm and then using a mix of bee's wax and teek oil rub in and polish. Sharpen and set the teeth, refit...

The B&D Pre 1988 Drill are strong units. I have my Fathers B&D Metal case Gold unit, the only draw back is the 3/8 chuck. Still have the 1988 B&D All in one kit. The one with sander, circular saw, jig saw and wire brush. I have a couple of B&D Gut busters as well. The modern drills I have used...

I'm a riceist and so should you be. This post will be controversial to say the least. Continue at your own peril. But before you do, read the title again! Take a deep breath and know that it's not a typo. So... I'm a riceist. There I said it. I'm out of the rice closet and I'm proud of it...

You can uses a 115mm (4.5") on a 5" as it fits inside the guard. But a 5" will not fit a 115mm, with out removing the guard. That way leads to madness. I uses 4.5 grinders as they are the most common size local to be.

I have done a few in my time. Using decent timber make a frame 3" bigger all round than the top you aim to cast. If using an original saddle cap, fix a handle to it. This will allow you to lift it into the mould and tap free. Support the stone in the casting box and pack hard round it soft...

On the top, don't worry if it looks rough, it will help with moss and other rock plants to set up home.

Depends. The course ones are UNC, I think memory says 1/4. The fine ones are UNF. They can be tight if the chrome finish as pitted and lifted. You will need a sharp plug tap to fit the sole hole and the brass screw. The First and 2nd tap will bottom out. You may find that some one has put in...
