My rails have been delivered now so I can broadcast it. I bought a bargain drill that was in stock recently and leaked the source on another forum, when nothing was delivered I rang them only to find it was out of stock. I don't know if it was because everybody else ordered one or not, however...

Here's a bit of progress. The screen and bezel are now mounted on the stand and there's some more pippy oak around the back to hide the gubbins and provide a means of mounting it on the wall You can see the cutouts to take the mobile phones while charging, chunky phone and ipads can go on the...

Another for ammonia sulphamate, works a treat and far safer than glyphosate etc.

I didn't buy the dewalt guide adaptor in the end, after reading about the Bosch router base and guide adapter I went for that instead. It sounds like it should fit the dewalt and my smaller trend routers and definitely fits the Bosch and Mafell guide rails. I also found a place that is selling...

Thanks Custard I bought the Mafell jigsaw and rail together as although I had a very decent Metabo jigsaw, irrespective of how you set it up or what make/type of blades you use, it wonders off, my older bosch was the same, using conventional jigsaws and guide rails is virtually impossible...

Has anybody tried this combination? I have had a Dewalt DW625 1/2" router for a while and like it a lot. I recently bought the Mafell PICC jigsaw in a kit complete with guide rail. It would be handy to use the dewalt router on the rail. The dewalt router guide rail adapter (DWS5031-XJ) is...

Peter Benson Plywood of Darwen, huge range nice new web site too. I've used them before, very good for all laminates. https://www.pbplywood.com/birch-plywood-fsc-pefc/

Good on you Steve for doing something about it =D> I would agree that the economics between 70 and 90 are ambiguous however I know a fair few type 2 diabetics in their thirties and forties. I met some mates for a beer a few weeks back and around the table of six, 3 were diabetic, one down to...

I had to lose weight and exercise or go on blood pressure lowering tablets. I've seen what long term use of BP tablets has done to my pa (along with the other 8 tablets he takes a day) so I chose the former but don't like fad diets and I'm not one for exercising for the sake of it. Diet wise...

I forgot I had this pic on my phone, this is the base, before being glued and clamped.The back has a 10mm gap behind it to hide power, USB and speaker cables. This will be upright with the screen mounted on the holes via dowels. The cut outs are for holding mobile phones while charging. There...

One woodworking issue I had. When I joined the two halves of the frame together they initially fitted without a gap, hovever its freezing in the workshop so I finished in the office where its warmer and dryer and a smal gao developed. I filled this with oak sandings mixed to a paste with Bona...

Thanks for the support guys:) Once it's finished I can publish my notes on installing the OS and software if you wish, it's relatively easy. The hifiberry amp has a meaty 12v PSU (I think its 12v, working away today) and feeds the raspberry pi 5v via the headers that join the two boards...

Next to cut the hole in the middle for the screen, I used a trend jig and a router. Here's the hole and recess for the screen in progress with the scrap chipboard underneath showing through. Routing finished, the back with the recess for the screen The front, I went around the outside...

The wife was complaining that the media players we have to play our mp3s on the network server are poor. They rarely connect properly, and when they do, selecting tracks is slow and painful and building playlists is out of the question. So I have been playing around with some raspberry pi...

Thanks Paul, given somebody may search and find this thread and be disappointed that it is curtailed by buying your identical motor, I shall post a couple of pictures of the replacement. I had my eye on a bigger bandsaw, but didn't want to buy yet so this will give me a bit of breathing space...

I bought a 10hp "whole workshop" 240v single phase to 415v 3 phase converter. I run several machines including a 5hp compressor and a 7.5hp metalwork lathe from it and soon some woodworking machinery too. I bought it from Direct Drives and it includes soft start to minimise inrush current and...

I did consider a rewind however even when new its was a bit under-powered so I looked at this as an opportunity to upgrade it. However I guess the motor could always been a bad 'un and is unrepresentative of a 1.5hp motor. Interestingly I have an Elektra Beckum spindle moulder with a burnt out...

My ageing bandsaw motor started to give up the ghost a couple of days ago. I intend to replace the motor so I thought I would post it on here in case somebody else wants to do it, or somebody already has so I can make sure I don't fall into any avoidable issues. I had the saw from new, it's...

I transferred my landline to Zen who I use for broadband. I avoid Sky/BT/Virgin/Craphone Whorehouse etc. I work from home 2 days a week and I would lose the privilege if I had bad broadband so won't risk pathetic service. I also use Skype and rent a London number so I have a separate office...

I'm glad you enjoyed it, now I've found my workshop I just need to find some more time......
