Nice one :) Need to get round to making some for my Bosch rails. My printer is currently printing parts for a thermal insert tool, get the damn things in perfect every time :) Do you use PETG at all? I'm using the same as you, PLA + currently.

Hi, Bit late to this but I had the same question about the sockets. I'm going for metal clad and had planned to use MK, local wholesaler recommended Hamilton so I bought one to compare. The metal is a little thinner but not enough to be of concern and the quality was pretty similar. The...

Thanks all, Making a bit of progress on this, bricks and blocks arrive today. Found a builder that smokes cheaper crack lol. Hopefully start digging out for the foundations\insulated slab next week!

Thanks, Yes, I have allowed for piers. Still trying to find a builder, early days but so far I have 1 quote which was £18K to build it in wood and me supply the doors and window! Cheers, Jon.

Hi All, I’m finally (After many years) in a position to build a workshop (4M x 4M) This is probably the first of many questions, have read through other threads, Google etc. It’s going to be built out of a mix of single skin brick and blocks (Blocks where they won’t be seen) and bricks where...

Thanks, Didn't take that long yesterday, brought the bits back inside as it was raining. One thing of note is that raising the grain made a noticeable difference to the previously "smooth" surface. Could feel the microfibre cloth picking up on it. Described to to my other half as like...

Hi, Yes, all the same thickness (25mm) The table also came with 4 matching chairs. Other half is recovering the chairs with the fabric below. All in I paid £55 for the table and chairs. Fabric was £15. Even with the purchase of the ES-ETS included it will still be a cheap table. The guy i...

Thanks, 150 then 180 it is :) I haven't raised the grain, had heard of it but never done it. went and got a spray bottle yesterday, watched a couple of YouTube videos on it. Roughly how long to do need to let it dry? Thinking today will be ideal as it's windy to assist. My workshop is...

Sorry for the thread resurrections! Hopefully the content is worth it. I did a similar restoration\rebuild of a teak table for my stepsons 21st. It was fully sanded and I then (after much reading here\research etc. ) used Sikkens Cetol, it was not cheap, like "How much" not cheap. Anyway...

Hi All, Bit of an update, started on the extension part of the table to see what I was up against. Started off with 80G on my DeWalt RO which skated over the finish (some sort of hard varnish or laquer) switched to 40G which started to shift it but used 3 genuine sanding discs just to do the...

Thanks :) Will try that, seems a less invasive approach! Cheers, Jon.

Hi All, Picked this table up last night after buying it at auction. Overall it's in good condition with a few knocks and dings and a few pen impressions on the top from kids etc. I bought it expecting to refinish it anyway. Pretty know what i'm going to do which is sand from 80-320 then...

I managed to pick up a couple of bits at an auction last Sunday. Pair of Record Irwin straight tin snips, need a bit of a soak in rolla cola to clean the mild rust off and then a bit of a polish... £0.50 :) Took a punt of a box that just had "Ultrasonic cleaner" Box was a bit tatty and...

Many thanks all for your help! Have ordered a set which should be here tomorrow :) Cheers, Jon.

Hi All, Hope you are all well, i haven't been around for a couple of years or so. I bought a Draper mini lathe off a gent on here a couple of years ago and have finally managed to get together everything i need to start turning pens and small things to get started. In an ideal world i would...

I have a Simplisafe monitored alarm, it has battery backup and also has a 4g sim in it as backup if wifi is down.

Plenty of different types here: Amazon.co.uk : tyre inflator connector

Exactly that, for rifles I used my Peltor Sportacs (noise cancelling) with plugs. For Clay shooting and clay refereeing just use the Sportacs. Very comfortable especially when being worn all day sometimes refereeing. JON.

I switched to Ralph Lauren many years ago and they are really comfortable and last well! eBay from the US is usually the cheapest way. You can get normal sizes in the UK, the big and tall range are exclusive to High and Mighty. Not paying them £200 a pair in the UK when I can get 2 pairs from...

Hi All, I have recently become a member of a club where we award trophies for County\Class championship etc. As a Committee member with others we have decided to apply some long overdue love to the trophies, the silverware will be outsourced but the woodwork we are going to do in house. Some...
