I need a present day reciprocating saw with wood and metal cutting. Need to take down a trellis with heavy nails and screws to cut through. Happy with corded rather than battery, unless advised otherwise? Not the top, pricy models but good reliable saw to deal with 4" x4" posts etc. Advice...

Hi Derek, welcome to the forum where you may learn all you require. ASAking questions will get you answers, some of which may be good. Have fun. ( what part of Worcestershire?) Malcolm

Cheers Ray, bit pricy, but could be a possibility for some work. Malcolm

Thanks Neil, that's a good suggestion and one which will possibly be taken up.particularly if I am doing this myself. The other brackets can be used to join posts togethrr for additional support. Pity the spikes are not 4 x 3 but suppose could fill the extra inch if using that size. Just that...

If it's likethis. you may have a great buy. http://www.tendotools.com/en/houtbewerk ... eries.html

Thanks Glynne, I'm trying the same and have just e-mailled a belt maket in Birmingham. It is an unusual belt, not seen one like it before and since, but it may need all the three sections replacing with different two coloured leather. It's on;y 1" wide and may even think about buying a 1" two...

I'm now 76 and hope to live longer, so need to be careful what I say!

Music Man & Phil.p Godfathers would not be an option astetically and space wise. As for the posts, I expect the posts have a lump of concete around the rotted base, which is why I am thinking of positioning another post, say a foot away and bringing that into the open rather than trying to place...

SWMBO has a lovely belt tyhat can be changed into several options of colour. Hsh had it many years ago and now it is too tight, but would like to have it enlarged. Does anyone know where this could be done please. The best option would be to enlarge to rear section by unscrewing it and fitting a...

Not sure if anyone can help on this. I have a nice garden trellis with 3" x 4" PAR posts and rails, a lot of which is rotting badly. The height is 7' 6" above ground. Some uprights need to be taken out and the post holes will be a problem to dig, possibly concreted in, as most are 'within'...

Back now. The knotted hankie worked. Malcolm

Hi BOB, NOT COVERING Cyprus this time but it is on the agenda some time again in the future. Will definitely arrange a meeting when we do and I can then check up on you and your bandsaw methods. Lol. In St Tropez today. Lovely sunny morning. Hope we don't have problem with the customs when we...

Ahhhhh that worked. Now in Montii Carlo with fantastic weather.. Malcolm

Cannot seen to send a reply for some reason. Tried twice already. If this fails,will leave it till back home. On cruise and have seen all the sights in Rome years ago. Malcolm

About to set out for some sunshine holiday in the Med.

When you cut into waste wood and particularly putty, you could easily be hitting tacks or nails, which is likely to ruin any blade. By ruining the blade teeth set, you cannot expect any good results, but if the bandsaw is being used to cut up rough suff, then the poor blade can only do what it...

Hi Mike, no you haven't missed anything and the Alex Snodgrass method is the best I have seen. If the blade gullet can be positioned in the centre of the top wheel, then the bottom guides will not have to be moved forward or back. Some bandsaws have narrower wheels and with larger blades, the...

What you have to bear in mind Mike, is that the larger blades dont habve room for the gullett to be at the centre of the top wheel. Alex Snodgrass is working with 1/4" or less in his excellent video and even to a 3/8" should not need any change in the lower bearing position front to back. Malcolm

Hi Dave, Not for the smaller blades, but with 1/2" plus the teeth will be more forward on the top wheel and may need some adjustment. As I mainly use smaller blades, dont need to move it much but it's easy if I do. The two hex bolts are different sizes (silly) but still not a problem with the...
