Pu is gap filling, in that the foam fills the gap. The foam isn't structural though, you still need a good tight joint.

If you made yourself an item now out of a CITES species (old stock so no question of not being legal) is it going to be an embarrassment to your kids when you leave it to them when you die? Is it going to be like having a tiger skin rug, or an elephants foot umbrella stand?

Can anybody recommend a decent pH tester for testing garden soil. Ideally one that I can probe into the ground. It doesn't need to be super accurate I don't suppose. I believe that the soil is slightly acidic and would like to confirm, and monitor it from time to time. eBay and Amazon have...

I believe that it will be additional admin due to Brexit.

Santa was right- that tiny tape measure is useful every single day for one thing or another. I highly recommend everybody getting one to keep in a pocket with a small pen or pencil and a scrap of paper.

There is a FTA. The €42 isn't an import tax so is allowed.

I have and use a collect chuck (I have the beall one but it will have limited thread options). It is very useful but I wouldn't want it as my only chuck.

it refers to the waterproofness. http://www.constructionchemicals.co.uk/blog/2015/07/13/what-are-d1-d2-d3-d4-adhesives/

I use tool station- just over £8 a litre. The titebond may well be better- there must be a reason that the pros use it- but I have found the overbuild to be good enough.

welcome. I grew up between Lincoln and Grantham (Welbourn).

well, if we can open up the discussion a bit. I am not a pro, but my go-tos are the everbuild d4 for general purpose gluing, or anything that needs a lot of glue. I struggle between autumn and late spring with temperatures, so firstly I tend to avoid big projects during that time, but if I do...

I dot know what temp PVA is supposed to need, but I have a feeling that it is a little more than you would expect. I know that it is possible to warm the joint up a bit with a hot air gun, but I haven't done this. [edit: 55F, which is 13C Titebond titebond original is 50 and TBIII is 45] I...

https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/sorby-pro-edge-belts.86568/page-2#post-955069 last post is the one that you need. it is a nicely made jig, and is useful to be able to put the collar against the bench edge and hit a stop. I would suggest buying or making a jig rather than using a tape...

I dont know. let me see if I can find it in my old posts. if not, I can measure it again.

thanks nick. the extra couple of quid might be useful for an alternative colour than Festool grey.

I was being tight and trying to avoid paying for 2! but yeah, I think that is the likely outcome. I might save a few quid and make an insert. not sure on the drawers. I dont think that they are deep enough to be efficient. The answer really is your fist suggestion.

depends what you are making. I dont see why you couldn't use them, but it is likely to be sized (I assume) for a wood burner, so by the time you cut usable pieces, it is only going to yield small bits. there are better options out there, but it depends a bit on what you want. when you say...

Probably a long shot, but before I buy new... looking for some Systainers to tidy up some tools. Need to be the newer T Loc type. I definitely need a couple of sys 3, but could probably use a sys 1 or 2 too. Festool SYSTAINER T-LOC SYS 3 TL 497565 Anybody got any that they don't want?

welcome.

yes. I had to put together a desk yesterday, required for homeschool tomorrow. I used the titebond liquid hide glue. I warmed it slightly in hot water to thin it a little. went off nice and quickly even outside. PVA is a non starter for me after about October.
