Too good to use

I would go for boil in the bag steaming look at a few YouTubes. Wallpaper steamer for the steam but it may not be successful as the final fixing is on the dowels and it may spring out again. If you laminate, it will look different but does that matter. Or radical idea Assuming the existing...

I guess the following rambling note shows my lack of knowledge about bushes. So, if the bush (this is really the bearing for the shaft to rotate within) is made of cast iron then surely it needs a regular drop of oil, maybe 3 in 1 oil in the spray can with straw (pressed hard against the...

About 40 years ago I made a simple wooden clock with a jigsaw and hand fret saw. Had a full size paper template that was stuck onto solid wood and cut around. Seem to remember buying dowel for the spindles it worked and has long gone. Not that this a recommendation ... just saying

Galvanised wire attached through a hole you will drill in the trap. The other end wrapped around a brick

Sorry about this "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood." If you have a hollow spindle, then put a solid metal rod inside just under the...

From my seat the floor looks stunning, I have no experience of the Rubio product (or floor finishes in general) so don't know what I'm talking about, but I wonder if you would need to strip off the existing finish a serious amount to be able to apply a "colour changing varnish"? Perhaps a good...

Are the brushes seated correctly on the armature it's unlikely but possible they have worn and are seated sideways or whatever so there is insufficient contact for enough current to pass and start the motor without giving it a nudge. Give it a look if its not that issue (and you can't reseat...

Would a small petrol generator cover your needs?

I don't have one of these but wonder in the absence of a dial/knob is there a belt cover that comes off easily so you can turn the belt/cutters into position?

Thanks for the tips HS. the chain link looks good I will looksee my chain size as it might be worth having one in stock I bought some chain saw oil from B+Q designed for petrol and battery machines so I will what I think when I've got through that bottle. cheers

An update So having bought one I opened the box woo hoo The oil bottle was not quite full, some was spread around inside the box but so what! The 2 main components were held together for packing with two nice chunky reusable cable ties -- good you can't have too many cable ties. Assembly was...

Thanks all I have bought one and will give it a go in a few days Good tip re the oil as I do have a few field mice that come in the garage for the winter cheers

I'm not going to say I don't have one of the flush cut saws mentioned above or that lidl had some Japanese pull saws the other day.

Have you been back to discus it with them? Sounds like an error unless it was done special timber

Thanks folk It will only be occasional use after the initial tree bashing Its got to be bsttery one and thanks for the tip re battery. My battery drills are makita so I it's got to be this or similar, will see what the oil cap looks like re crossthreading Can you use any oil?

These are on sale from 13/10/22 my brother had one a few years ago and was happy with it but he lent it to someone and it's not been returned so can't check if it's the same as the one on offer. Does anyone have one and got any comments please before I rush out and buy. I will need to buy the...

Thanks folks An update Not too far away is an industrial estate and I found a used machinery business (serious heavy used machinery) and taking a known RP faceplate with me one of their team kindly spent some time with me and we found an old used something (I have no idea of its purpose) that...

A simpler way would be to go the specsavers or similar and they can provide a higher magnification lens that is plus 1 or 2 or something that has a stronger magnification at the distance you want from your head ie 15" or whatever. You can take these on and off and swap with your normal glasses...

Thank you very much will get one ordered cheers
