    Smart tv

    We previously had a Blaupunkt 55inch which we bought from Home bargains for £299. It was brilliant and was still working well when I gave it to my brother. We replaced it with a 75" inch LG ULTRA HD 4K TV (75UK6200p). I must admit it was quite literallylike having an elephant in the room at...

    Axminister - How is the quality?

    Hi Rob, i've trawled through my email archives from 2 to 3 years ago but could not locate the details. The bike in question is still under cover in my back yard and has "Challenger" emblazoned on the frame, it's a folding bike. I re-used a few of the non-mission critical parts on my other bikes...

    Axminister - How is the quality?

    I don't profess to know the in's and outs of "global manufacturing and capabilities" do you? Yes/ no? I do not specify, when purchasing, where the product is manufactured and sometimes you do find the origin until the package is opened. For many products it is not possible to "specify" or "make...

    Axminister - How is the quality?

    I think this quote from Clogs says it all " Axminster is just another Chinese outlet ". My Axminster experience is having in the past bought a very old M900 second hand lathe and more recently a Hobby Series lathe. A few years ago I bought a small belt sander, which was missing parts, which...

    How to Season A slice from a Beech Stump?

    I agree with with most of what others have already said. However, there is another way of preserving the shape albeit [very] expensive and that is to create a mould and set the piece in epoxy resin. And not just any epoxy resin, but resin that dries very slowly obviating the need for a pressure...

    Treating rust on washing machine and preventing further rusting

    As above or Hammerite's Kurust, then apply a top coat of Hammerite White Smooth. Certainly does the job on my old freezer, now converted to an outside wood kiln and drawing the attention of my two male dogs who frequently pee up it!

    Green oak, post/beam joint.

    Nice work. Is that an MG Midget poking out behind the curtains?

    Stanley Plastic Plane Handles

    Hi Mike, I have a Type 17 (1942-45) made in England No. 5 Stanley Bailey, the Tote could possibly be Beech, but the Knob certainly is'nt. As this plane was built during the WW11 it could have been made out of anything. It has the characteristic hardened rubber depth adjuster nut. I also have a...

    Lathe Chuck identification - help required

    Many thanks guys for your quick response. My apologies I should have given the chuck diameter which is indeed 100mm. It therefore does seem that it is a SK100. My nearest Axminster store is probably Nuneaton. Once again guys thanks.

    Lathe Chuck identification - help required

    Hello. I'm new to the forum and am hoping that someone could help me identify the chuck I have been using for the past couple of years. It came on a second- hand APCT M900. The chuck works fine, but I would like to buy a set of spigot jaws for it. I have disassembled the chuck to clean it and...
