Thanks a lot Tris. Hadn't seen anything quite like this before.Will certainly put it on my list.

Hi there, Looking for suggestions to make a simple press for soft plastic bags which accumulate and I'd like to be able to compress them to take for recycling. The simpler the better for me. Thanks so much for any suggestions. Oh.....and a Happy New Year to one and all : )

I'm sweating like the prince of porkies...........that prince among pigs - andrew. Which means I'm not sweating at all, That is, if you believe the drivel this son of the queen spouts forth. I honestly admire the queen and feel so sorry for her having a son who can't sweat and who can be relied...

Thanks John. Will have a look.

Thanks a lot Bungalow Bill.

Could you please give me your recommendations for a really good light/lamp to use when cutting out intricate patterns on a scroll saw? I've used a visor and a Fancii LED Illuminated Hands Free Head Magnifier but feel like I would benefit from a light that either clamps to a table or is on a...

No, I'm afraid it's long gone : (

Thanks PRH

Guitardoc I'll need to remember that. I played guitar with a glam rock band so will need to look out some old strings. Thanks for the tip : )

Thanks Droogs. Great idea ! Have already ordered some from Screwfix : )

I have used a glue syringe on several occasions and really love how it can apply a tiny bead to wherever I need it. However, unless very careful, the needle can easily get clogged with glue that has dried and it takes a lot of work to unclog it. I've searched everywhere hoping to find a DIY...

Hi Cjdinc Actually, I didn't buy mine from Dictum, I bought it from Scies Miniatures Sarl in Switzerland and, to be honest, they were terrible. I think I was maybe the first private individual they had dealt with and it was a very painful 2 months. I think I'd likely have been better to go...

Thanks so much for all of your kind replies they've given me plenty to think about. G

Wondered if anyone knew of an organisation where one could donate some or all of the tools one has accumulated over the years, when it's time to go to that woodshop in the sky? I've no intention of going there any time soon, just wanted to be prepared - like a good boy scout. I was hoping...

Thanks all for your invaluable thoughts on this, if not a wee bit con-fuse-ing, to say the least : ) I think I opened the proverbial can of worms but, it just shows what a diverse group of minds we have here on this forum. It's certainly great to be a part of this. I'll play it safe and put in...

Thanks so much for your expert opinion Scrimping. Fortunately, I already have a 13 amp, so will take your advice.

Thanks very much. I'll get a 5amp today if I can and ditch Europe.......oops sorry, pull the plug : )

Hi there, I'm using a Pegas 16" Scroll Saw: Power input 320 W, power output 60 W, 230 V, 400-1550 Had been using it for about an hour yesterday and stopped work until this morning. I switched it on and....................nothing ! Oh my goodness ! How am I going to finish this project...

As I'm sure most of our elders know, there are few days go by without something or other being "mislaid". Unfortunately, as we get older, there's hardly a day goes by that one of our possessions mysteriously disappears. Of course, we all know the answer.............it's that we put it down...

Thanks so much Rob ! That's exactly what I wanted to know. The green plastic ones looked like just what I needed but I couldn't find a single review good or bad. So, think I'll give them a try and, if they don't work out, will take advantage of your offer.
