I recall the 150m Starretts were like £25 on amazon just before christmas last year. I didn't get one buy santa did so I was still happy. About £37 now though. The elves must have been hit by Brovid too. On th esubject of Empire (never heard of them) they are a US company and part of the...

Thanks Mike that's great info. When you say make into a paste what do you mean? I assume that's just to keep it in one place and not drip all over the kitchen? At some point I need to ignore the manufacturer instructions and sink our hob into the worktop. Too much crud gets under the edge...

I guess that depends what you are doing and how. I cook and bake on wooden tops just fine. But then I also don't make my own pasta or pizza bases.

If you disagree Mike then lets discuss it.

Other issues with the first 3 are they they are cold, the laminates are fine but can't be refinished. The only real issue most have with wooden tops is that they let them sit in water around the sink. We aren't even particularly careful but we don't let it bath in water and we've honestly had...

A surprisingly large inlet. You could just make one that fits into the hole and then has a 100mm hole in it to hook a hose onto. Ideally of course we'd all have 140mm ducting and outlets on tools to match but there we are.

Same here. Can't save them all sometimes but it's quite satisfying when you get one.

Nice to see a tool saved rather than junked for a low cost part.

When you say clear rings what do you mean? White ish marks? I've had osmo on my oal tops for 5 years and the only issues I've had are when some water gets left on it for a prolonged period it goes a bit white and as soon as its properly dried it vanishes. Also there is one oven cleaner we had...

If it was 100 units of fuel at 1p per, and you now used only 50, you'd save 50p. If it was 100 units of fuel at 3p per and you now only used 50, you'd save £1.50. Since prices only ever seem to go up, the short term pain of buying a thing that saves energy invariably pays for itself faster than...

I want to say yes even though I don't know my head stock from my *insert another part of the machine here* especially as its only over in Cov. I just don't think I'll actually get the use from it at the moment.

Well I just pumped in for a Wiser kit (saved £12 on it with that ebay voucher over the price anywhere else) and 12 valves. £625 all in. We have a large bungalow so may end up needing a smart plug and I can see us getting at least one extra wall stat for our bedroom. We cook about £1500 worth of...

If you don't need it to be a 3m hose then make it as short as you can get away with.

That rabbit hole is deep and full of terror. Realistically, use the biggest you can on the assumption that you vac can take it. No point using 100mm on a vac with a 50mm inlet or that is going though a 50mm cyclone for example.

They were indeed hit in 2019 but let a graphic tell a tale.

:p Must try harder young man. Though maybe it's not quite the bratty 6 year old tongue sticking out emoji you were after 😂

Fwiw BGN Boards who I get some stuff from quoted me 95 ex vat today for a sheet of 18mm BBBB.

The whole reason I'm here and ended up building my workshop was because I started out building a workbench by hand. I would suggest if you have the thicknesser then use it. I would have and should I ever come to do another bench I shall do it that way. The joy for me in the bench was cutting...

Try emailing the customer service and ee what they say. Might not get you anything but you won't know until you ask.

I've little doubt that they might put their price up a little on ebay (or are already higher due to ebay fees and paypal fees) when they know ebay are putting out a 15 or 20% discount code as it means they can make a bit more money at no loss to anyone. But the point remains that if the price...
