I wonder if your local headstone maker would have a suitable sized offcut he would be willing to sell for small amount?

Thank you all for your thoughts I do have a lathe - no outboard spindle though, maybe Ill keep my cash in my pocket; a ply disk on a faceplate with velcro adhesive pad/sandpaper/ seems a good way and I could make a table to fit into the banjo. Trial and error to get the angles about right? or a...

Good morning So about 2 and half years ago I raised this topic and all of the replies were helpful. However I struggled on with the Fox wetstone and its slow but does the job for a diy occasional user. But the thought of getting the Proedge or the Axminster version has come back - they remain...

Well done

I had a twin 5 foot fluorescent fitting in the garage above a bench and yes the tubes were getting on a bit the ends were going a bit grey and in the cold weather took a while to get up to speed. So I bought one of the 4 foot Lidls and temp wired in place of the twin 5 foots it seemed...

Whenever I wear wellies I find that after a short while my socks slide relentlessly downwards and if left alone will gradually sort of slide off my foot into the end of the boot - not good! I accidentally found the solution while cutting bushes and repairing fences this morning, I started work...

I think the Herald - I know its difficult at the moment but if you can find a retailer with both in stock so you can see them both in the flesh (soastospeak) that will probably make your mind up for you.

If the previous owners are still contactable ask them who did the kitchen

Another vote for No 3, I bought a wreck a few years ago and after cleaning sharpening and repairing the handle its a lightweight dream, does the smaller tasks with ease. Have too many others all bought used in need of tlc some still haven't had the treatment yet.

On the basis I have limited electrical knowledge and as such cannot provide qualified electrical advice. Just a thought about a 12v dc power supply not built into the plug. Many a laptop psu had a mains plug with a figure of eight (might be called something else) socket on the other end which...

Slightly off original topic but..... Interesting the Honda 50 has a "proper name" of Super Cub. My first motorbike was a Triumph Super Cub or was it just the Tiger Cub? Anyway 199cc of power, great machine I changed the valve lifter cam to increase performance. Probably worth a bit nowadays

Ive just discovered 5foot twin batten LED lights - superb - outshone my aged same size fluorescent fitting by multiples Also round internal only bulkhead style LED again very good and relatively inexpensive

I don't think the mice are entering the house at night as the original post suggested, they are there all the time. Mice are nocturnal and sleep during the day. From my recent experience I suspect they are sleeping in nests somewhere, possibly your attic or under the floor and come out when its...

On a similar theme - quite recently and for a while I used to get an occasional voice message on my phone from an English matey type of voice that said Hi just to let you know you've come up in the syndicate for a prize just phone me back to claim the cash. Not in a syndicate so didn't and just...

I'm sorry to bring this up (and show my lack of knowledge) I don't do enough woodworking to know the ins and outs of the various glues mentioned which make me wonder if I should try one but which? In my day to day/occasional woodworking repairs or making small domestic items I use Evo Stik Wood...

Aha Thanks

In case it helps I managed to move a shed by gradually lifting it on blocks until I could get 4x2 underneath and projecting a couple of feet out. Then with my sons we lifted it and struggled a few feet at a time to a new location.

Hi Ollie Seems interesting would you explain a little more please. Have I got this right? The fan in the attic draws air, possibly warm and with some moisture into the attic space? If so does this make the attic a little moisture laden so that moisture can condense onto the roof...

An odd source of random wood was found at my local timber merchants - I was looking for some skirting board and came across a stack of 3"x2"x 2 foot wood used for spacers in stacks of timber. Yes I could have a dozen or so free, the yardman pointed out pick the heavy ones as they are close...
