I've used Elora spanners on my Landy. No cheap but fantastic tools, every bit as good as the old Snap On. I they are a German brand. Our local agri supplier sells them as separates.

Pliers, pincers, tape measures, sharpening kit, shooting board, vacs, more clamps, then even more clamps. I assume folks bring their own consumables like s paper and glues.

Folk have offered my Myford for sale here and other places (going on eBay today , as I held off going there). Nil interest whatsoever from here and other place(s). Questions - have I overpriced it? Is it not a good lathe? I know the photos aren't exactly studio quality, is that the major...

May be wrong, but blades secured by tightening screws went out with the ark, so my guess that those were old and inadequate before you started. I wouldn't expect much from a cheap screwfix saw, but it should last longer than 8 mins, depending on its condition when you started, maybe you just...

I'd love those, but too far away, I do lots of 'industrial' and abused pieces of furniture, using recycled wood and modern plated screws ust don't look right. My experience is they are hard to get.. there is a supplier of old stock in Derby or Nottingham, but they cost a lot. You mentioned...

Yep I used a decorator recently for our hall, stairs and landing. 10 doors to be glossed.. I just couldn't face it. He used a small,cordless to sand down the doors before painting. Did a good and quick job.

I'll pm you, thanks

TF, I wouldn't mind a couple of bits. I travel to kibworth harcourt quite often.. that anywhere near you?

I got a de walt from screwfix, I've been very pleased with it? It seems like a quality tool.

Tried the neudorff granules.they seem to be working, either that or the hot weather has shut them down. There are virtually no signs of ant activity in the garden... Next thing is dig out the mounds and replace with topsoil then re seed.

I have a spare nvr switch off an Axi table saw. You can have it if you want, pm details and ill post it to you.

Fun vehicles, utterly basic. Mine were reliable, usually easily fixed when they did have problems. Parts are easy to come by, but so much of what is on the market is world-changing trash, and the best quality worthwhile parts cost more. What you get.. Cheap to run except on fuel, I'd get 21mpg...

Oh, one negative i remembered, the mitre gauge isn't very good, I got an aftermarket one.

If you want new.. I've had the Axi 254sb for 3 or 4 years now. Reliable, relatively small footprint, easily accurate enough for me, cuts 3in oak dead easy with the right blade, good solid fence that is adjustable front to back as well as side to side. Down sides are extraction is poor, top...

Surely half as bulletproof, two lasers means double the opportunity to fail..?

Neudorff granules arrive today, ill let folks know how I get on.

Thanks folks, plenty of ideas, ill try a couple and see how we do, Thanks again.

gentles all, anyone got any experience of eradicating ants and their nests? On my front and back lawns I have approx 20 maybe 25 ants nests as indicated by their excavations where they leave piles of fine sifted soil on the surface of the grass, The worst of the nests is some years old and is...

The raw timber racking that you can get from IKEA is well made and relatively cheap. Solid timber of a decent thickness. I think it's designed for the garage or store rooms rather than the lounge, but I felt it was good qualty/value when I bought it. That said I've seen ikea furniture that...

Thanks K, that Hawker looks brilliant. And the gull wings on the Corsair are well done. You are a talented modeller.
