Hi, Just purchased the Dewalt DW738 bandsaw from the well known auction site for £120, bit of a rash bid but ended up winning it. Haven't picked it up yet however it's supposed to only have been used once and in good condition. Just wondering if it's a good deal or not as Ive read some decent...

Thanks for the replies lads, never thought about using a washer as a spacer, great idea, I'll give it a go over the weekend when I try and install the drawers. BTW the runners are the ball race soft close type which I got from fleabay, and look quite decent quality for what I paid for them...

Hi, Could I ask your opinions please. Ive made, well more or less made, a 3 drawer unit just for a bit of storage in the garage, nothing fancy but think I may have a problem. I have for them some drawer runners and them which are about 12.5 mm thick so I made the carcase 25mm wider to take...

Hi, I boarded out my garage last year and decided it was about time to make some storage base units and was wondering the best way to do this. I have already got the 18mm ply cut into lengths and was thinking of making 3 units, 8 foot long (ply length) into like a galley shape, 1 along the...

Hi, Could anyone give me some advice please in fitting this please. It's the "York" vice screw which I bought from Axminster. Had a quick look at it today as my bench isn't fully finished yet, however the only way a can see in fitting this is cutting or drilling into the stretcher which would...

Hi, Does anyone have any opinions on this type of dust collection, or does anybody have one? On offer at the moment for £40 and was wondering whether go dive in and get one. It's the bucket type where it saves your vacuum getting full, and claims no loss of suction, so I suppose even with...

Hi Adam, I wouldn't have a clue the cause of the dampness and I'm sure you've had lots of good advice already however this might help. I think in general you get slightly more moisture in a bungalow than an upstairs/downstairs house as I found this 15 years ago when I moved into a bungalow...

Just to say thanks for the advice lads. Cracked on today and took a bit more time with the measuring and tweaking of the joints and I think I'm getting there. The gaps along the bottom arn't as bad as first though as part of it is the actual contour of the tile so it looks a bit more uniformed...

Thanks Carlb40, ...........and of course Bugbear, if only she could fit skirting, arrrhhhh, having said that hers couldn't be any worse than mine! Think I understand what you say Carl regarding the floor scribing, however where the sides meet the skirting on the next wall they could be lower if...

Hi, I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction, as this skirting is starting to be expensive with the waste ....err, mistakes! I was on a while back on how to put some skirting around a few pillars, however I'm just getting round to it now and can't seem to grasp things, and I'm...

Thanks MMUK Thanks for the tips lads, much appreciated. Phil

That's excellent marcros, Just tried it and it worked spot on, however can I ask...... How do you mean 135 degrees = 45 degrees? Is this some formula that can be applied to other obscure angles? Sorry if this is a daft question. Phil

Hi, I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction? I'm putting some beading around the expansion of of my laminate floor Ive just laid and cannot work how to cut this angle around the end unit. I have the trend angle finder and the angle is 135 degrees and I assume I am right in...

Cheers Nev, Thanks for your help mate. Phil

Hi Nev, Is it just a case of going to the app store and download one of these apps and this will link them up? (sorry I'm no too technical on these things) Phil

Hi Nev, I think it's basically the same thing, what I'm trying to do is wireless connect the I Pad to the TV. Phil

Hi, Would anyone know if you can "pair up" or connect an I Pad to a smart TV which has the internet built in, or do you need that Apple TV box? Don't think you can but thought I would double check! Phil

Hi, Would anyone know where I could buy a set of these in the U.K.? They come as a pack of 4 and looked all over the all the ones I can find are in the U.S. Sorry I don't know how to paste a link to show them. Thanks Phil

Hi Lads, Just to say thanks for all your help on this. As usual great ideas and advice! Phil

Thanks for the replies lads. Sorry I forgot to ask when I posted, which would be the best type of drill bit to use? Thanks Phil
