I made fixtures on my 3D printer for holding my planer blades at the correct angle for sharpening, then use the belt sander to sharpen them. Works surprisingly well.

Welcome to the forum :)

I tried it some time ago, but ended up having to paste the paper as well. The walls just sooked up all the paste if you were slow at papering like me. Who remembers Novamura?

There's a possibility they over tamped concrete which was too wet, bringing too much water to the surface. It could just be the surface layer which is soft in some areas. Could you do a test area using one of these to remove the soft stuff on the top. It might give you more information about the...

They are brilliant. I use these exclusively for cutting some large steel. Think I still have a couple of packs left. That should last a while.

There is scope for some really innovative design if you wanted to go down the DC motor route for a project. There are many brushless DC motors available ~500W for motor scooters and the like. I would also be looking at electric bike technology. An interesting project, but I agree that the...

I would use batteries with enough capacity to run the drill for a day and charge when required.

I think you have answered your own question. I would do a test run with the router and see how well it cuts. You have tried the jigsaw and failed. I would just get a template cutter from Amazon. Yonico are great cutter and cheap. Try and see. Good luck

I hope it's a false diagnosis, as can be the case in early diagnosis. I like to learn new things as well. One of the best toys I got recently was a 3D printer, so I had to learn a 3D CAD program. That was a bit of a challenge, but it's turned out to be incredibly useful. I'm sure you have seen...

Welcome to the forum Paul, but very sad to hear you are in the early stages of Alzheimer's and Dementia. Have you been formally diagnosed? It's a scary thing. Can I ask how it affects you just now? Understandable if you prefer not to talk about it. Are you teaching yourself to repair...

Take the positive view, they didn't throw it on the ground. I can understand the annoyance though.

I would find an animal rescue and take it there.

made me think of this! 😁

for drying a wall, a simple fan is enough. You don't need the dehumidifier, especially at this time of year. After a few days, it will appear dry, but more moisture may come to the surface.

Welcome to the forum. I love the interlocked name. What a lovely gift to make :)

See here. A compost bin works by creating the ideal environment for decomposition. Organic waste materials slowly turn to compost if they include a balance of green and brown materials, water, and oxygen. Compost bins are designed to provide these conditions while containing everything in a...
