    How can I improve the cut ?

    I'd get a decent blade a 24t for ripping and a 48 for crosscut ( if you use a sled ) and for laminates etc. Ultimately a tablesaw cut is not the finished face, so i probably wouldnt loose too much sleep over it

    Mini digger security

    I'm picking it up this weekend..... insurance is something I need to tackle today / tomorrow. Its quite good timing because ive felt for a while that my current insurance is lacking ( currently my workshop is uninsured, a shipping container in a field ) Previously I phoned a couple of companies...

    Mini digger security

    I'm probably being a big thick so forgive me, but what do i need to make the oil pressure switch setup work? Or is it simply a toggle switch interrupting the wire for the oil pressure switch? I try to avoid electrics where possible 😁

    Mini digger security

    😱 you called me cornish..... im not a cream tea backwards guy, i live in devon 😆😂 Yeah the workshop is a hightop, but generally they cost quite a bit.... the workshop container is only a couple of years old so was about 4k. And no, there isnt room 😆

    Mini digger security

    Taunton, not too bad👍. Interestingly ive got a mitsubishi L200, but its not all that gutsy, so towing a 1.8t digger, buckets and trailer ( grossing about 2.6t ) makes it puff a bit! Also costs a LOT more in fuel 😑

    Mini digger security

    We are fairly safe here in devon, but just last week a local digger went awol.... which got me thinking. Eventually I'd like to build a barn, but at the mo its not an option... I have a container as a workshop and another as a store ( no room in there at the moment and id have to see if it'd...

    Hello pivotal howard Sounds like youve got a budgy in there? Good idea, but what about double action hinges? £15 in toolstation or £40 for some heavier duty ones

    Any Tips for hanging Double Doors?

    Ive done a few pairs and the lining is the key. if the lining is perfect, the rest us pretty easy. Once youve got it pretty darn good, measure down from the top 1800mm on each side, measure from the top corner diagonally across and down to your mark and note down the size, then repeat for the...

    Mini digger security

    Thanks for the replys. In terms of left on site, im a carpenter / general builder, so i do a house refurb / extension / loft conversion type jobs mostly on my own and often customers do not live on site..... I'll probably end up fitting an immobiliser, a mechanical lock of whatever...

    Mini digger security

    As you can guess from the title, im looking into security options for a mini digger. Its a takeuchi tb016, an early one, so i dont think it'll have an immobiliser etc. Ive seen the dozer ram locks, but after looking for reviews, i found a couple of comments asking why a thief wouldnt simply...

    Spots all along wood

    Get some oxalic acid and see if it removes the staining..... Mix it with warm / hot water, not cold..... once stain has gone, wipe over with clean water to get rid of it, its not nice to get the dust from oxalic when sanding

    Damp on old chimney breast

    In terms of salts, sometimes a wipe over with vinegar can stop it reacting/ coming through. I think the term was efflorescence ? I'd conside a dehumidifier to help draw out some moisture first. The chimney could be filled with vermiculite? Although the grille is a good option for getting air...
