    Best way to make my shed larger?

    Hi folks I have a 6x8 shed in good condition - the 6 foot is the side with windows. Im considering whether it is worth extending to convert it to 12 x 8 feet. In a simplistic way the side with the door could just be moved along a bit and reused and the front and back could be extended with more...

    Easier just before the end

    I think its sound, there is a different resonance between a thick material (or nearly cut through) as against just starting a cut.

    Broke my compass plane

    If you cant recut the thread by trying the knob upside down, can you get the stud out and try the knob on that end? Consider cutting a quarter of an inch off the end of the stud and you have new thread. Or just get a grip on the knob and wind it/force it through the tight bit after oiling the...

    Well that didn’t go as planned.

    Maybe a 12mm drill through then you can find the centre for your back box and then neatly cut it in you can then drill out/enlarging the flint hole from both sides; Ive never tried drilling flint - don't tell me how easy it is!!

    Well that didn’t go as planned.

    Would you be able to take out socket no 1 and the metal box and drill from that side? bring your cable through the hole, install socket no 2 , reinstall no 1 and all good

    Bay window repair, exterior sill

    Just heard of it but quite like the look of Dryflex Some years ago a friend was selling his mums house and just needed something to make it look ok for a while, we ended up filling the bulk holes with quick drying cement (it has a fine/smooth surface) and car body filler to finish. It looked...

    Bosch Belt Sander - PBS 75 - toothed belt wheel supplier??

    Would it be possible to cut some shims from a drinks can and slide these onto the shaft with the pulley? The aluminium can is pretty thin and should take up the slack. worth a quick try before going down any glue type route

    PlusGas or WD 40

    Ive never bought PlusGas but having seen it mentioned recently on various topics I wonder if I should get some for the odd undoing stuck things where I have previously used WD40 - it seems to be the bees knees! or get another product. I'm happy to buy the spray can rather then muck about mixing...
