That is absolutely beautiful, never seen one before either

That depends on whether the pillar drill is usable. As mentioned in the Parkside drill thread, the one i bought from Lidl was total junk. The drill wobbled at all speeds - rendering it unusable. i believe the quill was bent. To be fair Lidl took it back without any issue and i was refunded. I...

That looks great - that will be on my to do list.

I've got the Titan from screwfix. Did some ply shelves for my new shed in a jiffy. The only downside about the titan is poor dust extraction. Even when hooked up to a record DX1000, there is still a lot of dust not vacuumed. For the price i paid (£99) I am more than happy with it though.

i took mine back the day after i bought it for exactly that problem. They refunded me no problem. I think they have a 2 or 3 year warranty and only Lidl sell them. Take it back and they should either replace / fix or refund it.

I stayed in a hotel a few years ago that had one. They left it out all the time, and it got nicked. Stupid thief didnt realise it had GPS, so local constabulary traced it and found it in his shed :-) Thief got nicked and hotel got their mower back.

I'm planning on a trip to Turners Retreat in Haworth, Nr Doncaster soon. https://www.turners-retreat.co.uk/proje ... ck-inserts

Hi - after a recommendation on here - i got one of these https://www.in-excess.com/collections/s ... 5906859534 I was a little worried the medium would fit, but it turned out ok (large is sold out). Works great too and is only £10

I was shopping in Doncaster Lakeside Village outlet this morning and went in the Black and Decker Shop. They stock stanley too. Dropped on this for £50 Stanley no.7 - sole is pretty spot on, needed a sharpen though ;-) oh bought a bag of stanley spring clamps too a full £7

laid 3 course of blocks for a shed base recently. Seen the "Brickies mate" on youtube, made my own from a few scraps of wood. Did the job perfectly - binned it once I'd done and it cost me nothing.

I got mine from Maplins when they were on offer (£50 i think). I would agree with Matt, they are OK in step ladder mode, not so sure about ladder mode. I have used them as a small platform when lifting fence panes out of concrete posts e.g. /-------\, and they were ok, but a bit wobbly. What...

up until last week, I had been using a karcher wet and dry vac with 30-32mm hose. I had made some heath-robinson contraptions for connecting this to the planer, bandsaw (no success) and table saw. Still had loads of dust flying about. every time i planed up anything, the shavings clogged the...

I watched Peter's workshop video on the 600x600 panels. Bought one from Toolstation yesterday for my Garage / Workshop - made a massive difference, and thats just one of them. They were a bit dearer than ebay at £30 each, but still cheap enough that i am thinking of adding 1 or 2 more. thanks...

Not the SMART repairers, but a few years ago (about 12) some kind soul dragged a golf bag down the side of my car in the golf club car park. I used a Chips Away franchise local to me. He took about 2 hours, charged me £120 for fixing a long 12 inch scratch to the front wing. The results were...

3m mask arrived this morning - absolutely spot on. So much better than the throwaway type white mask.

Thanks Porker, just ordered one of the 3m ones from there - the large ones are sold out, so i will give the medium one a go.

+1 for your local library - usually cheaper than copy shops. Suggest you print/export to PDF and then drop on a memory stick.

I've used a few of the erbauer and Titan tools and have no complaints. Go the Erbauer reciprocating saw for lopping tree branches, a Titan chainsaw (electric) for thicker branches / trunks when i was dropping a tree last year. Recently got the Titan T/P, which I've just used to thickness ~ 5m...

I'm making my 1st bandsaw box tomorrow. Glue up was done today, with oak/mahogany/oak/mahogany block. oak was per my previous posts @ £13/2.4m and the mahogany was a freebie. Will post back with the results any advice on the finish would be helpful. I have BLO and Clear Poly, but would buy...

Glad you got sorted John.
