Grey and miserable here in Slough\Windsor :(

Here you go: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REPLACEMENT-H ... 5d4d83cc6c £6 for the battery, screwdrivers and post :) Jon.

No, they are below the range of normal torx i think. Maplin do a kit with them in for taking phones apart for about £5 so probably on the bay for about 50p ;) Jon.

It's dead easy to replace the battery. Remove 2 screws from the end, slide the back off, unscrew the battery connector, remove battery, fit new battery then reverse. 5 minute job, never had to do it to replace the battery; just had to take it apart to dry it out when my other half spilt red...

Hi, Have a look at this one I designed and made, very straight forward, cheap and effective. cyclone-separator-t80589.html Jon.

Hi All, Just finishing off a couple of door frames and have hit a slight problem with the fitting of the architrave. The new architrave is wider than the original plain one and is profiled. The problem I have is at the top of the doorframes the new architrave is overhanging the glazed section...

Hi All, I have a small amount of Iroku left over from a project and SHMBO want's it gone from the stairs. The main leftovers are strips 45mm x 5mm, I have about 6-7 M of this, I also have some larger bits to make a frame if needed. Would like to make Christmas present(s) out of it or put it...

I went last year and wouldn't bother again. Car park was miles from the actual marquee's up a great big hill. Couldn't take the car down to pick stuff up so instead of coming away with a fire safe, bench mounted sander and extractor just left them there. No particularly great offers or...

Worst one I have ever seen was a garage of a friends parents who had their garage wired by a local handyman (Known to most trades who had to go in and fix stuff after him. Anyway, the garage was wired with about 6 double sockets for washing machine, tumble drier and pond stuff plus halogen...

Cheers :) Jon.

Hi All, Just finishing the stairs off, have stripped them right back to the original wood and am going to finish with Osmo Poly X. The main sides are 20 year old pine and have replaced the trim with new pine. Do I need to use Knotting solution or not? Cheers, Jon.

I still have my sleeving expanding pliers and Hellerine lube somewhere. Used to use them extensively when I did my Aircraft Avionics Engineering apprenticeship in the early 90's. You needed so little of the lube took ages to get through :) There is also a larger version for heavier gauge...

In my limited experience screw the centre and outer to a sacrificial bit of timber so they don't move when you do the final pass. I also use a Trend CRB like Stu_2. If you are really new to it I would advise practicing on some off cuts. I used a 6mm x 20mm cutter to radius a shelf tonight...

Hi all, I'm fairly new to woodworking after really struggling to get my head round working to tolerances between 1-10 thou after an apprenticeship 20 years ago in the Aircraft industry. Really starting to enjoy it now and after a few smaller projects am planning to make my first piece of...

Heres one I made a few weeks ago which was cheap and is very effective: cyclone-separator-t80589.html Jon.

Good luck!!! Wishing you much success :) Would love to see the bits you have made so far :) Jon.

Good luck with your Domino purchase :) Only had mine for 5 weeks after using one for a couple of projects that would have been a nightmare without one. Rebuilt a 6FT Teak garden table and reduced it to 5FT and added so much strength to it with Dominoes. Made a Lazy Susan for said table...

Brownells are US based, you need to check as sometimes it's cheaper overall to bring it in from the US. Briley also have an EMEA site PSHQ-Europe but still ship everything from Texas. The cheapest way of getting stuff from the US is to find a friendly supplier and fill a USPS Priority box at...

Midway uk and Midway USA do gun smithing tools as do Brownells. Check out shotgun world forum, some very very helpful stockers and gunsmiths on there. I have a gun I need to get round to finishing, just the woodwork to do and make a new butt pad. What gun are you doing? Jon.

The prices do vary and change. When I bought my DF500 at the beginning of May Nut's and Bolts were the cheapest, bought from another dealer at the Festool Roadshow with the Systainer full of Dominoes and cutters plus the cross stop and spacer block, £5 more but got my hands on it there and...
