Welcome to the forum. Absolutely no safety lecture from me. I'm very sure at 60 you have the experience and common sense to look after yourself. 😁

I have a Rage twin blade 155 saw. It eats aluminium. It has twin contra-rotating TCT blades which nibbles the material away. It cuts rather than abrasive wheels. Not sure how it would cope with prolonged cutting thick material, Probably OK if taken easy. I have had it for years and still on...

I have three side by side for different stages of the process As @Lorenzl says, you have to turn the compost pile every so often to aerate the compost. I usually move the top later to one edge and start moving the good stuff in the lower part of the heap into the next heap I then fork the top...

I watched a video recently where someone made a clean burn incinerator from a couple of old 45 gallon oil drums. similar design to the one in the link. These are different designs of rocket stoves, very efficient and clean burn as long as it's running hot. Rocket stoves and rocket mass stoves...

That is an excellent price. When I tried my laser detector. I thought it was faulty, but there's a setting on the laser for using the receiver. I suppose I should have read the instructions first 😁

Surely that must be a cavity wall?? something doesn't add up. They wouldn't build a 450mm thick brick wall?? sounds like two leaf with cavity. Can you get a long masonry drill and put a hole through from your side, but not all the way through, see if you find a cavity. If it was me, I would...

Let me help here 😁

If it was my saw, not borrowed, I would use the larger blade if it means you get a higher tooth count. Make sure it clears the metalwork all round. Remember things will flex/ move as you start cutting. It's only 2.5mm on the radius, so it won't make any noticeable difference to cutting. It will...

I got a 4 speed Meddings cast iron Scroll saw for £50. It required a wee bit of work to get it working well. I couldn't resist a classic name for that money. I'm not sure if they were good machines in their day. It works very well with good blades, I found that scrolling is quite difficult to do...

This is typical of 'cheap' LED Luminaires. (if it was 😁) They tend to have pretty crude drivers and use LEDs with wide range parameters. This means that the some of the LEDs may be over-driven and fail early. They use parallel arrays of series diodes and current control may not be very good...

Some pictures would be good. I would never trust what an insurance company says. They come out with all kinds 'excuses' to get out of paying a claim. Perhaps it will just take longer for the wall to dry out. Are you saying they stripped the skirting and plaster, but refuse to make good the work...

I love heat. It will be over soon, so I just enjoy it. Getting lots of repairs/painting done, so I won't have to do them with rain running down the back of my neck.

I got this laser level, £109!!!! Bosch Pro range. I paid the higher price! This price is VERY good. I looked at lots of different lasers, red, green from different manufacturers. This is a red one with 50m range, but it comes with the LR6 receiver, which allows better use in daylight. The...

For me, it's a way of getting a much better quality piece of equipment at a reasonable price. I don't do the full restoration, just get the tool into functioning condition for use. I love old cast iron machines. simple design and they last forever. I get a lot of pleasure getting them working...

Ask your local council recycling centre. They should be able to take them for safe disposal.

I'll be interested to see how it goes. It will be a while before I'll have time to do more work on my table.

We have the same table. Probably the same colour. Quite dark. We have had it since the 70's. It looks dated now 😁 I see they fetch quite a bit second hand! It was getting chucked out, but I thought I would try saving it. It had some bad areas on the top where the varnish had lifted. I wish I...

Doing too much. Retired now. There just aren't enough hours in a day for me. Too many hobbies, too many projects on the go at one time, but It beats working. We often go for mid-week breaks where I am forced to slow down for a couple of days. I enjoy that. My really really irritating habit is...

I am 70. My personal experience with tennis elbow and other repetitive injuries is that they will eventually go away, but you have to be sensible with what you do when you are suffering an attack. The human body is a miracle when it comes to repairing itself as long as there isn't an underlying...
