Self confessed guitar builder looking forwards to more!

Not possible. The toughening process introduces too much internal stress, so even a cooled abrasive disc will cause the piece to explode into tiny pieces. Can you make a hole in the ceiling?

for deep dents I prefer the tip of a soldering iron, I find this really focuses the steam where it is needed.

Leaving hospital after a serious illness or injury isn't like checking out of a hotel. I agree that those who have the means to pay, via insurance or personal resources should pay for their treatment, if they are not entitled to use NHS free of charge, but not that people should be presented...

There is a Sheppach track saw with a 75mm capacity, not sure of the model number. Edit - it's the PL75. Second edit - of course, the PL75 is probably as heavy and large as the TS55, so probably doesn't meet your criteria.

Utter ***** in my experience, they rely on a very small screw to unfurl the 'wings' which hold the fitting in place, and I had a fifty percent failure rate with these screws breaking if there was an resistance. I personally filed then under 'unusable crap' after one encounter.

Yep, Bosch multi construction are great for all sorts of tough materials, including hardened steel and tile. They're wicked sharp out of the box, and can be touched up with a diamond hone.

Hmm, that's a fair cop. How in the hell did this end up where I saw it?! I blame the new similar posts feature....

Could you not get some 1/4" tube and ream it to fit over a 5mm drill bit?

Ps: don't get a new one, these are horrible bits of tut, but new ones are worse. 10 years Locksmithing gave me a persistent dislike for these locks, if you have to replace, switch it for a Yale 88 or 89.

The springs sits on the spigot to the left of the latch. It engages either on the back edge of the brass portion of the latch, or in the hole directly behind. The other end levers off the side of the case. For clarity - you will need to tension the spring to fit it. You insert it so the...

You might be able to sell it to a tonewood dealer, as you say it's hard to come by these days, and is in demand for reproductions of the Golden era guitars, both acoustic and electric.

And on that note, maybe write a will before you spin it up to speed....

Thanks Phil, that's extremely kind. £5 will be going to charity, most likely to Parkinsons Research.

Can I throw my hat in too, thanks!

It is usually possible to wire a conventional push button to a wireless bell, using a short length of bellwire.

Uneven pressure is very likely. Even if it isn't the cause, it's an easy solution. Lean a bit heavy on the otherside until the edge is square, problem solved.

The aforementioned Zinser BIN should do the trick for this.

Condensation will be an issue, precisely because the lining isn't sealed.

My T5 has done reasonable service, but I'd hesitate to recommend one to you, the speed controller is very... Odd? It'll run down as if it's overheating in the middle of a very light cut, sometimes when not under any load, and I recall this being a fault reported by several of people. Plus, the...
