OP, can I suggest you alter your forum name because you are asking to get bombarded with spam. I am sure the moderators will help you fix it. Welcome, by the way.

Have you got a side door? If not, that would be where I would put my effort. You can then semi fix ( so large stuff can still pass though, but infrequently used) the double doors and clad the inside with insulation. That would massively increase both security and heat retention.

If it is smallish amounts you want, the epoxy sold by pound land is very good. It is in a double tube so you should be able to squirt the two parts onto a mixing board with one hand (only guessing mind). It's certainly cheap enough to experiment with. Other thing I suggest is warming the wood...

I thought everybody kept their screws in tobacco tins :shock:

I think I would just ignore it. Because you are lumbered with a fence that runs all the way to the back, what you DO need is a sub fence to slot over your fence that ends after the blade starts. Easy three sided box out of Mdf. That way what happens at the rear of the blade is of little...

This made me smile Don't they LOOK nice! If this set is in your workshop, I feel sorry for you because there are so many good but older real MARPLES chisels available,if you would but look.

I don't mean to be critical, but there is one bit that needs a tiny adjustment.

There are three stained glass restorers in my town. All three are on the same trading estate and cooperate in their work. One also runs courses/ workshops for anyone interested. I have been going to one these for nearly two years now. All courses are well subscribed and become weekly social...

My knee jerk is all that excess foam is a potential fire risk. Particularly the dollop between the meter and the consumer unit. Ten minute job to clean it away. Also IIRC, that foam attacks wire sheathing.

Your solicitor must have had the plans in early days of the search, why didn't they "set off the alarm bells". From experience (with a minor issue of boundary ownership) a decent conveyor would have quicky spotted this as part of their role, before the surveyor got involved. If what you say...

Being a bit of an old cynic: most warranties seem to exclude anything that might go wrong.

Moths in the airing cupboard is just asking for trouble :D

Washers? Spacers?

If you buy a belt sander make sure it's one that will lie on its back. I have this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-06032A10 ... nder&psc=1 Bought 4 years ago and it's been a useful tool. There are a couple of blind m screw threads on the top, I made (well botched) a bench top plate so the...

Thermal trip in motor? Bearing , switch or motor full of sawdust? Capacitor failing?

you could have almost guessed which one it would be too :roll: :D

Are you going to "u tube it" Suggest door build if nothing else

Like Andy this event is quite close to me , so although I am unlikely to buy (I have enough tools) I will be going to look around and chat with the usual suspects that gather there. Always something learned at was often is a good social gathering.

I "did" think a cat sat on the end of the bench would improve things. What's next in the series?

You are all quite mad. If I want an intelligent conversation I just talk to myself.
