    MISSING OFFICE LIFE

    I'm kind of in the same boat, 9-5 desk job (IT) with a 40 minute commute each way. We use microsoft teams to have our meetings, and after the main call, we'll usually hang around for a bit of banter, so it's not too bad. But I am getting a little sick of the same old environment to be honest. I...

    Axminster Robust Tool Rests

    you'd have to scrape away all the top section too to get something similar. But yes, if you didn't care about getting the same shape, I suppose you could just do that.

    Lamp fitting

    No problem. Thanks anyway. I'm not going to do any DIY modifications on it though as it would be for someone else. So needs to be "Proper" :)

    Axminster Robust Tool Rests

    first dust extractor unit

    I know it's 3 times the price, but if you're looking for compact, then I'd definately recommend the twin motor camvac. Super impressed with mine. when one motor is on, it's ok, when two motors are on, it's crazy how powerful it is. If have under table dust collection (or have done a DIY...

    Lamp fitting

    One of the first places that came up in a search. Oddly, they sell a bunch of American products that cannot be used in the UK. I assume because they ship out internationally " This E26 American lampholder is designed to be used in American only and not certified to be used in the UK. Has full...

    Lamp fitting

    I've been asked to turn some table lamps, but they're insisting that they want the metal bulb fitting that is turned on/off by pulling a cord, see picture below. However, I can't find any reputable sellers that have them with an earth connection? They're always dodgy listings on Amazon/Etsy...

    Used power tools, how big a discount on new will you accept?

    If its something that you can still buy new, and only shows signs of wear and tear, I'd personally be looking to pay about 65%, about 2/3rds of the current retail price. But I certainly wouldn' buy anything without being able to inspect it and see it working. If it was somone I knew and...

    Rail Squares

    I really don't understand why anyone would buy a cheaper Triton/Titan/Aldi/Lidl etc track saw and then spend hundreds on a rail square. I appreciate not everyone can afford the better quality saws, but it seems a bit silly.
