Hi Sean I’ll take this if still available please. Paypal?

This is a house down size, from 1 1/2 acres with a paddock and remote workshop plus three ancillary sheds, to a fairly modern estate. We will have a decent size garden plot, but for the first time in decades I will have ‘neighbours’ to consider. I’m just being really over cautious about...

I’m not going to get enough natural light to work any of the machines sensibly, so was not going to have any windows or natural light at all. Having windows would also compromise acoustic insulation. The roofing will be condensation proofed steel sheets that mimic roof tiles in appearance and...

I am moving next month to a new house and after 15 years of having a 4.8m sq workshop I don’t want to go smaller. There is a double garage in the new house, but nothing else. The new house has a strip of ground to a side of the house where there are no windows. The scenario. The gap...

Coming from an area where some of the best cheese in the world is made, the two at the top of my list would be Barbers 1833 , it’s a real tasty mature cheddar, and Exmoor Blue, smooth, creamy blue cheese, and not a harsh salty taste like Stilton. Closely followed by Somerset Brie, as good as...

I’ve got the setting in the workshop for 5/8 Elsworth on the Proedge. You definitely need the long grind jig holder. The standard one has too small a radius. I’ll be up there tomorrow and jog them down. Phil

I had the same issue when the new site went live. My iPad was still logged in, so I had access, but I was locked out on both my phone and PC, it would not accept username password without errors. I also logged out of iPad, and was then scuppered (it was suggested logging out would clear it, it...

Ok, I’m going to log out on the iPad now. If you never hear from me again, it’s because this is the last device I can access the forums with. I can’t message mods, I have sent in help requests from the error reports, but to no avail, they respond by message, not email, and one of the stated...

**** worse I’m logged in, on iPad, I can’t login on phone or computer now.. on the iPad I have two new messages and when trying to access them. I get this message when either sending messages, or logging in on any other device. Ah well, can’t attach picture either now. Phil

Since the site update I am unable to pm anyone. When I tap on the avatar, there are two symbols at he lower right. The envelope, which I thought should be mail, is message, and the ‘bubbles’ which should be message is mail. However, when I try to message any member an error page comes up...

Have you got a picture of the switch? I have some 80’s B&d switches in the workshop. Phil

Hi Mike, that listing, with no holes is for the older model, which are available at £25 ish shopping around, the current model needs the holed ones here at £60+ I went for the Makita 2012 in the end, at £449 from tools4trade, including the dust hood that used to be an optional extra. The...

Dozen passes through the thicknesser, job done. Even resawn you may want to allow for a couple of passes to accurately size anyways. Phil

Our Calor gas supplier still has the 4.5kg (10lb) threaded bottles in stock, so must be still widely available. Phil

I have a record bds250 6” belt/10” disc combo and use both the belt and disc a lot. I wish now I had separates, with a 12” disc, 6” belt us fine. The 10” disc is ok, but I think I will make a larger one to mount on the lathe. As Rorschach said, very little usable area (top left quarter only)...

40 years ago we used dampened Vermiculite with dry cement powder mixed through, poured in and lightly tamped. Phil

Hi Mike The listing for the blades here Clearly states different part numbers for older and current models, the current ones being more expensive. It gives the serial number sequence that the change applies from. Phil

Well, looked and looked, and actually came to the same conclusion, back to the cry once scenario. I found the Makita at tools4trade for £449. Here so it really wasn’t that far over my budget, and blade are £19.99 genuine Makita double edged disposable widely available. Couple of blade changes...

Seems the disposable only fit the older model Metabo, the newer model only take the ones with fixing holes. So average price blades are £40+. Phil

Not sure on the value or quality of the unit, but here’s the link https://www.gumtree.com/p/power-saws/co ... 1281291009 Phil
