Aaaaaand it’s back to tripping out the fuse board in the house. In exactly the same place it was yesterday when working. Gutted

IT LIVES!!!!!! While waiting for Amazon to deliver the 3 core and on button I set about cleaning up the table and base a bit Then I got into the electrics a bit more For some reason, the thin bit of black wire in the right has been spliced in with chocolate blocks for no good reason...

Ooo good idea, I’m hoping to get it together today after doing some work on it, we’ll see what happens after that. If it works I may never open it up again, just in case 😂

@Distinterior I’ve just seen the serial number on mine, so a wee bit older for sure lol

Thanks! Yes based on your pics mine is a bit earlier. The steel around the top badge plate is different, mine has the three quarter circles each side and yours has the one. I may be get one of the original switches later down the line, but I’ve just gone for a cheap NVR for the moment (should...

That’s awesome! Did you do a thread on here about the restoration? I’m a little concerned about the wiring, and how much blackness there is in the motor. I’ll be using contact cleaner on the insides and try to replace the connections like for like as well as adding a new switch and leads. I’m...

Today I picked up a Startrite Mercury mk2 pillar drill for 35 quid and I’m quite excited about it! It was being sold after someone passed away and untested, but I figured it was worthwhile for the money - and it will be a significant improvement to my car boot Hilka that I’ve had for years and...

My garage/workshop floor concrete was horrific, my cheap and easy solution was to get a load of thick second hand laminate floor boards for cheap or free on marketplace, throw down a little underlay on the really bad bits, and when I had enough cover 90% of my floor with them. Especially with...

My wife picked up a couple of boxes of Torx screws for me this morning. Time will tell if there any Good, but price is pretty splendid

I think this is one of those things where old school works but new school may only be a little better? I’m nearly 50 and have always coiled cables around stuff, and other than an incredibly old hoover have never had a problem. The over under method and other ideas are definitely valid, but are...

I bloody love Torx, so far I’ve gotten them from screwfix but that could always change

I made a sign to go on my workshop wall in the background of some of my videos. It was the first time I’d tried freehand routing, heavy stain in the letters so they’re still 3D (instead of filing with epoxy), burned and sanded a couple of times, then Treatex hard wax ultra over the whole thing...

I’ve got various Arlo cameras with the base station. They’ve done a grand job over the last couple of years. You can also convert old phones to plug in security cameras but that doesn’t help you at all

Ooof good find, if only I wasn’t having a stupidly tight few months. Gutted!

I had the Metabo version for a couple of days so for what it’s worth here’s my take. Induction motors are awesome, quiet solid for maintenance. This was the main draw for the Metabo for me. A couple of significant things I didn’t like though.. Because of the all metal minimal table...

Sure! It’s https://youtube.com/channel/UCyO-JIqYqeviob8MJhg12ww

I I made a wall mount for my planes and stuff recently. It’s one of those things that is ok from a distance 😂😂

Hi All, New member, and still a new woodworker (around six months). I’ve mostly made tools, upgrades, and workshop stuff so far, but I did make some clocks and things for Christmas presents that I was pretty proud of. i started a YouTube channel because I’m a sufferer of chronic fibromyalgia...
