Could anyone offer some advice and info please. I was thinking of my "summer" jobs and strangely enough an advert popped up on the TV screen about TREX composite decking. Had a quick look around the internet and it's quite expensive, however all I really want to do is lay it on an L shaped...

Hi, Just doing some research into these as I'm about to get some fibre broadband as I believe these boxes need decent download speeds. Does anyone else have one and can recommend a decent make? Been looking at the Nvidea Shield, which is a bit pricey, but by what I can see it's about the...

Hi, Don't know if Ive just been extremely lucky however mine has just arrived, a double sided one in perfect condition, not sure what grits they are but for a fiver delivered (or the cost a very decent pint of beer these days) I'm extremely happy! Even the case looks a fivers worth! Phil

Thanks for all the info lads, Think I'll go for it after all, well mainly positive feedback, however would you also be able to touch up router bits if you could get right on the edge of the wheel? Phil

Hi, Does anyone have this machine and could rate it? Plenty of good reviews on the Rutlands website so I'm slightly tempted, however for £200+ and in my case it would just be for occasional use is the reason I'm holding back slightly. Must admit the knife sharpener attachment looks pretty...

Could anyone help to save my marriage! Just been using some expanding foam with my foam gun. Shook the can well, however the ball in the tip must have been stuck after the last time I used it, so I freed it with the flat edge of a fine screwdriver...... has anyone guessed what happened next...

Hi Roger, Ive have the Neff with this type of door for over the last 3 - 4 years without any problems. The slide under door is not a gimmock and works really well and think it would be good for your mum as it would save stretching putting things in and out of it as you get right up to it. The...

I had a recent dispute with them recently also and can honestly say they are the worst online retailer I have dealt with in the last 10+ years. I purchased their new oscellating bet/bobbin sander, basically switched it on for the first time and it went bang and the oscillation stopped, however...

Thanks for all the replies lads, I decided to try the Rustins "spirit based" stain before anything else, I was going down the Van **** crystals route but thought I would try this stain first. Just tried this Rustins, and to be honest there wasn't a great deal of difference, however I'm not sure...

Hi, I'm after some advice regading a woodstain. Basically a doorway has been closed up and Ive been trying to match a new lenth of dado rail along the full wall to match the existing colour, but so far, not been easy. The existing is a very dark mahogany and and I did have an old "Colron"...

Ive also took the plunge today on the new bobbin with the belt sander. Deliberated over the last few days as I was originally just going to get the bobbin sander, which Ive been waiting for the bank holiday to order as they normally have the 15% discount. I just hope the extra outlay for the...

Hi, I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this machine? I was thinking about getting their normal bobbin sander for 99 quid then got my eye on this and wondered if the extra 70 quid or so was worth the outlay for the belt addition. Ive had a quick look on the internet and in the US a make...

Thanks for all the info lads. Tried a few test cuts and my initial impressions were that it's not too bad, for the price, and for how often I'll use it, I think it was worth the outlay. Might also think about upgrading the blade to a Freud. Thanks again. Phil

Hi, Did anyone buy this saw today? Stupid question, however, how do you line up the guide rail against the line you want to cut to? There's a rubber strip on the edge of this guide rail,which I believe is a splinter guard or something, do you put this to the line you want to cut, or do you...

I bought a clip on LED in Clas Ohlson the other day, really good quality, slightly more expensive £7.99, but well worth it in my opinion. Phil

Hi, Could I pick your brains please. I'm thinking of buying some wardrobes, just from B &Q, however I heard the fitting is quite expensive so I'm thinking about possibly having a go myself. What I'm after is some advice on where to start as in marking out, where to start, leveling etc. I...

Hi Jacob, Can't help regarding the catches, however regarding the bags. Ive started using the cloth type, which you can get some canny deals on if you look around, and I think they hold more capacity and definitely gives the vac increased suction. Phil

Hi, Just after a bit of advice. Just made some doors for units, only for the garage and nothing fancy, and painted them with some old emulsion I had lying around and come up quite good, however I was wondering if I could coat them with something just to harden the finish, also to stop moisture...

Just came back from the North Shields branch. Still plenty of these saws in stock if anyone is interested. Phil

Hi Lads, Just picked this up and, it's not perfect, there was no fence for it for starters, which isn't a major problem as I can use a straight edge and clamps, and the table looks as though it's had a fair bit of usage, however there's one thing I'd like to check out with you if I may. Just...
