I have a multi purpose one, my main use to applying butter and jam adhesive between slices of bread

Other than steaming some mahogany many years ago I have never bent wood. So I know nothing, but some thoughts follow You mention you are going to carve the finished wood to make arms (for a chair?) would you have to have each lamination so tight and flat to each other that when you carve there...

Karcher window vac superb I also use mine to dry the tiles in the shower

Thanks Duncan You're on the same line of thought as me. I was trying Makita first as I think they should properly stand by their products but not in this case. I have always liked their drills and hope this is a one off at least I know their stance. It's just not worth getting angry as it's...

So I quite like these drills - I am a diy user and passed a couple on to my sons a while back. So I bought one brand new off ebay used it a couple of times then the keyless chuck didn't tighten/loosen but rotated with a clicking noise. So I spoke to Makita Customer help desk very polite friendly...

Hi HS Have ordered one of the chains as suggested - re oil I'm sorted thank you but very kind offer. - I'm a bit South of Gatwick. I used to go freshwater fishing but got out of the habit, my fishing exploits are now only accompanied by chips!

Hi again HS Well Ive been using my Parkside Cordless Pole Saw and its better than expected - been used for quite a few 3" branches and a couple of 8" tree trunks when taking down/cutting up a fir tree (and some old holly bush) I also needed to cut down the length of a log (Holly) as I needed a...

I know someone who gave up trying to get a metal lid off so used a tin opener on the bottom of the tin to get the paint out. Did the job and decanted the rest into another tin

I wish to change some radiator valves to TRV and replace a radiator. Had first quote, £450 , the radiator is only 700 x 700 standard wickes or suchlike. You can hire a pipe freezing machine for about £80 for a day. Anyone used one? Must be better than a £20 aerosol version when you have...

If this is a hollow door - is there any space between the lock and the inside of the door sufficient that you could glue a thin strip of ply on the inside? If there is then you could put as large a piece as possible and make a new hole for the handle spindle and re-fix with normal screws not the...

Keep the handle throw the metal its just not worth the effort

I don't know what I am talking about but would this task be a candidate project for someone with a home 3D plastic printing machine, they can print in any colour and would take spray paint. I have seen one in action at a model game shop and was amazed at the result.

Hi I never found the correct code and btw have sold these parts good luck

Sorry am keeping it with the lathe

Ive just been browsing an online site that sells staircase components/Newell posts and repair kits, might be worth reviewing https://www.pearstairs.co.uk/changing-a-newel-post Or a new post is not expensive and for my money I would replace it entirely after of course seeing how the existing one...

IMO and if you were turning a bowl gently remove the part with the split first (thats the outside of the bowl) and you may turn the split away

One of my cars (might have been a 2CV) had double roll pins one inside the other definitely need correct sizes punches

Does the spindle moulder/pulley turn easily by hand? If not perhaps the issue is in that bearing area and not a motor issue

I don't have machinery of any great value or bulk and when I've gone they will be easy for my family to value and sell. Hand tools I have said look at them carefully as some will be worth more than they look at a casual glance. But perhaps I should start to consider moving/selling triplicates...
