I have an old B+D 7.25 inch circular saw model 7308-07 type 1150 watts 5300 rpm must be 30 plus years old its had a quiet life the blue finish is like new and is not used very often but comes in handy every now and then, its quite sturdy and not lightweight the blade replaced a while ago and now...

Google Concrete Panel Shed loads of images might give you some ideas. Roof finish depends on how much you wish to spend - I would go with a pent roof OSB boarded with proper epdm roof. avoid roofing felt if you can afford better but if not thats the way to go - not garden shed quality.

Just a quick thought while I'm on a train. Unless I'm missing the point or havent read the op enough fence posts 4x4 are treated and a cheap way of gaining height with shed on top - could be stacked. Perhaps a look at Wickes (other brands are available) decorative timber garden sleeper and try...

I suggest a Record Power lathe would be a good starter wood lathe and depending on your budget there are many out there that will suit your requirements. Search ebay to get an idea of prices or gumtree etc or review your decline of the previous one and go looksee it seems to have a reasonable...

Possibly fortuitous Now coming back to lathes what do you want to make or just anything as you don't know yet? How much do you want to spend let us know as someone here might have what you need, try and get one with a chuck.

So this afternoon I've taken out the old raised bed timbers and dug it over and levelled the ground a bit ready to start construction of the octagonal frames for the beds. Next and thanks for the square edge and slope idea I cut a short piece of arris and matched it to a square section as...

I'm so glad I added a photo of the more common type of Nutool lathe and that you added a photo of the variable speed one being purchased. Yes I agree with others if the chuck and key comes with it. While you're there try for a revolving centre for the tailstock. See it running and ONLY change...

I agree Steve One of the problems is that I am in Sussex the house is in Stockport (250 miles away) so I cant just pop round and get all this stuff and nonsense easily sorted. Its only just been bought and the 3 days I was there last week had me involved in other things. The "gasman" of which I...

I assume its this type of lathe - picture copied from ebay where its for sale. Its not a good lathe and to be avoided How much do you have available to spend on a lathe?

Thanks for the thought about cables Who knows what the boiler is/age/anything as until we can get to it ? so gas not being turned on for the time being. Cooking is electric. Boiler probably to be replaced as part of a house sort out The previous elderly owner lady didn't seem to have people...

Hi and thanks for your generous offer - I will send you a pm

Thanks everyone So maybe its just simply cutting out as I've done before. I like the HOJ approach with a bigger sharp edge so I will try with a sharpened wallpaper scraper/filling knife plus it has a handle. cheers I will look at the Erbauer as thats the price area I'd look - although I am sure...

Ask them!

https://www.tapmagician.co.uk/WebPages/Range000.html Super helpful and good products ---- I have no connection with this firm other than having bought some cartridges from them in the past

Long winded bit - sorry. My son has just bought a 1930s house where the central heating boiler is at floor level in the kitchen with the flue straight out through the wall. House has been empty for about 6 months and the executors have no records of anything useful. Son being sensible wants a...

Thanks Phill05 but my boards will be vertical and similar but different shape to this Homebase product Good find Spectric but I will need 16 for my two beds which makes it tooo expensive. I guess I will go along with making/modifying some capping rail (I have some already) from the top of close...

I'm unsure of the main issue Are the screws really bolts that just freely slide through the hole and then through another piece of wood and then a wooden nut tightens the two parts together?

How did it end l up

Yes the boards will be fixed vertical 6" high and perhaps a mechanical fixing would be better than glue. I think arris rail is cut at 90° but suggesting that fencing wood (thanks) brought me to think of capping rail that goes along the top of close boarded fencing - thats more towards 135 and...
