Not just him - I bought a shirt there back in the late 1960s when pink shirts were de rigeur (y)

🤔 people have more money than sense at those prices - mind you I think I paid about USD$60 for my red braces in a shop just off Wall Street in New York in 1991! I've been looking at the elasticated braces I have together with some 2" wide webbing and I think I can cobble something together to...

Sorry - my original spec was confusing - I meant that the long part of the Y is no-stretch but the short part of the Y at the back is elasticated/stretchy - to obviate the off-the-shoulder situation. [I did have a pair, for business suit purposes, when red braces in the financial services...

I had seen them - but they are X-shaped - I want Y-shaped with a single clip at the back, as OP.

I had looked at something smilar but a bit overkill for what I want (as a DIY-er) - and carrying tools around my waste is a no-no (I can't wear trousers with a belt for medical reasons)

I had scoured the likely suspects to no avail.

I'm trying to find some non-elasticated braces for my work trousers - they need to fix with clips and be "Y shaped" (i.e. single clip at the back) - not too fussed about patterns or colours (but I don't really want to look like Tommy Walsh back when he was on Ground Force!) I've looked in all...

Exactly - works every time

I'd lay money that it's dot and dab with the plasterboards butted "off the wall" on the corner with the plaster skim bead applied - thus creating the "cavity" being the space between the wall and the plasterboards. Wider wall batten would probably find solid wall to get into (spanning the dot...

I found that the Woodleys Finishing pads (even at 180) were excellent, leaving no scratches.

In a YT post yesterday Robin Clevett mentioned a good lower-priced - and available - birch ply alternative he's been using - he said he will show it in a future project film soon. (It may be the stuff @petermillard has mentioned recently?)

Agreed, Nitromors is like lemonade nowadays . . . I've found that Barrettine Paint Panther is pretty good (Paramose is the absolute best but you need to be a "professional" - or say you are - to be able to buy the stuff)

Johnsons from B&M Stores

I've refinished 3 or 4 G-Plan nests of tables in the last few months (as well as other G-Plan and similar MCM furniture) - I've just sanded with Abranet, cleaned with tack cloth, wiped over with the tinnest coat of matching stain and then just used a Fiddes wax oil as the finish to give the...

...or I've had great success selling tools on Facebook Marketplace (has the benefit of usually being local so no postage etc to sort. As said - caveat emptor as far as conditon etc

Katsu, corded, for me with the add-on base and side-gauge - impressed with it, especially for roundovers on long lengths of timber. On the wider subject of routers I've just bought the Einhell cordless router combo - common motor that fits to a plunge base and a palm base - pretty good (and...

There are two schools of thought on engineered wood floor fitting - the people that fitted ours said : Concrete floor then glue it down, timber floor then float it on an underlay with glued joints. From experience (in another property) a floating floor on concrete flexes. Our recently...

Now gone!

Not sold - still available.

I've PMd to clarify . . .
