Ive just looked at Facebook Market Place for the first time loads of stuff some at reasonable prices. Do you have to join FB to advertise or buy? Would someone let me know please by reputation I was told to avoid FB but maybe I should join? thanks

Let the landlord do it? I think thats the type of lock you will end up replacing Make sure when you do that the flat part of the lock body that fits flush to the door is about the same size so you don't end up with wood work filling to make it look best. It might be worth taking the keyplate off...

Wipe the motor over with a damp cloth to find the maker its unlikely but possible that the lathe maker (as well as the motor) might be revealed, partly because the motor paint and the lathe appear to be the same colour

I live in a 1930's house with the original staircase and handrail. After years at looking at the ugly black finish below the handrail to the staircase (where banisters would have been fitted, the infill between the handrail and stairs looks like 1/2" ply) I am going to sand/scrape off the black...

Looks like part of a Reeves drive -Try Axminster they sold Perform lathe have a very similar Reeves drive - there were loads of lookey likeys with the variable speed drive a few years ago. Be very careful when fitting the replacement they are made of some kind of brittle aluminium and tough as...

Just a fyi photo So if you have one of these and over the years there has been some missing pixels and whitish areas on the display and you think its 5 or so years old had heavy use so hey ho its Apple it will (?) last a bit longer. Then yesterday switched on and then caboomph the screen is dead...

Very good Ive now watched several videos and how the coils on motors are rewound is beyond my ken - thanks for sharing the link. If you want to see odd bits of car repairs in a New York garage try this one South Main Auto Repair LLC - YouTube

Anyone know if they are actually made in the UK and not just overseas parts assembled in the UK?

A friend has just returned from a cruise to the Caribbean, on one of the Island tours they visited a woodwork factory/tourist items for sale place and they came across a workshop with an old man who turns wooden bowls and also makes highly polished items from driftwood. All looked good, well...

My house and that next door are the same, next door had replaced their old wooden French windows/doors with UPVC some years ago. They moved out and the new folk changed them I still had the original and failing rapidly French doors so £50 to the fitter to fit to my house after I removed the...

Slightly off topic but follows on from the above Ozi post I live in a 1930's house where wall (lighting) electric cables cable run in steel conduits. So a couple of years ago we had a few wasps in the lounge - so what dealt with them and then a few more, looked outside no obvious nearby nests...

I forgot to mention something that will help power your gas boiler - see photo Yes I remember the power from ceiling light socket but not in our house as Dad was an electrician

So yes I went to a car boot sale over the weekend and yes I did buy various bits of other people junk Some I will use, some need dismantling and keeping the goody parts and odd bits will go to recycling (where they probably should have gone in the first place) But I am now the proud owner of a...

There is no good/permanent solution - there was a similar thread on here some while ago Unless you really need it then its probably going down the recycle route

After some consideration and research I think its for making holes in something :)

My son bought and quickly assembled a plastic shed - while I was away so didn't know about it :) Well it looked liked a shed Wobbled like jelly if you put anything in it Would be a good place to store bubble wrap After a year it was recycled to an-other person who wanted to buy a half price...

Roller skates?

Like Jacob said and unless I'm missing something (perhaps the saw has emotional family connection) really why bother. All you will end up with is a diy saw blade on a 1800 something R Sorby handle. Try used Tool dealers they may have a tenon saw with a broken handle or ebay they have loads of...

+1 for Brother I have a small portable black and white one that I used for site visits and a quick print. Brilliant for text/data prints
