    UKW Secret Santa 2016

    Just to confirm mine has arrived. It wasn't the one requiring the £3 postage! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I quite often leave our hall lights on as well. Just to deter any bunglers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    UKW Secret Santa 2016

    Not got mine yet but I did have two card through the post one for something to go and collect and one because I had to pay £3 postage! So might be one of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Amazon Echo

    Ooh a "mood to smooch by" that sounds like a new mood I need to programme. I'm not concerned about DDoS attacks. I've had my lighting system for about 5 years and not had a single incident where someone has taken control over the internet (except for me). I honestly think hackers have better...

    Amazon Echo

    I guess you still have a toilet in the garden and use candles for light? Our lighting system is great we have a control panel on the wall so when you walk in you select a mood so you can just have a few lamps on low or the whole room lit up etc. Our Christmas tree is on it so as you walk in...

    Amazon Echo

    I'm quite tempted by echo for the sole reason that we have an automated lighting system and it means when I go to bed I could just say Alexa turn out all the lights and she would. At the moment I have to use an app which isn't so nice when you're all snuggled up! Essentially echo works by...

    Rutlands : Complete Door & Drawer Making Router Bit Set

    You definitely want a powerful router, in a table and with a speed control so you can dial it down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Palm Sander

    I think the trouble is, if you have a few of them (from any of the big suppliers) then you get used to stacking them and having all your tools use the same system is great. I've got Festool systainers and I recently bought a Dewalt drill and impact. Nothing wrong with the Dewalt case but I've...

    I use some LED clip on lights that come from IKEA. They're fab. I have them on my bandsaw and drill press Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    UKW Secret Santa 2016

    I got a card from Royal Mail asking for £3 for postage. I did wonder if that was my secret Santa! :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dyson Motor Project

    The fact the he has a super yacht and it's British flagged tells me all I need to know. He's a good guy. He could easily have that registered in some tax haven. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    impact driver

    For under £100 then I doubt you'll beat the Ryobi one+ with a battery and charger. I have quite a lot of Ryobi stuff but their impact driver is the stand out star bit of kit. It's great value for money. I recently bought a new drill and picked up a new impact in the deal. The new impact is a...

    Makita random orbit sander

    I tried Abranet with Bosch and they kept flying off. On my Festool toted they are perfect. I think that not all Velcro is the same! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dyson Motor Project

    I think that sounds viable as there is plenty of suck out of the top hose. We've bought a new one - yes another Dyson but I'll still have another look at this. To be honest we've had two Dysons in about 18 years so I'm not complaining. You can also buy all the parts for them easily so I...

    Cheapo dovetail jigs

    I went through this debate a while ago. I ended up with the UJK Jig from Axminster. Not Leigh money but not cheap plastic either. I did read good reviews about screwfix but a few said the plastic wasn't strong and I wanted something that would be durable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Building a router table, MOF001 or TRA001

    Sounds like you've decided but just to add to it: I've got the TRA001 and never regretted it. I only use it in the table. It's great for that, but probably a bit of a beast if you weren't looking to use it in a table. People often talk about being able to adjust the height from above and that...

    Dyson Motor Project

    I've stripped it down and replaced both filters. Initially it was making a bad noise which turned out to be the brush bar. I replaced this as well. It has suction at the hose where the brush bar is. However it doesn't pick anything up. I can only assume it should have a lot more suction. It's...

    Dyson Motor Project

    Our old Dyson has lost its suction. I couldn't figure out what was wrong as it felt like it had plenty of power but it didn't pick anything up. So new one purchased but I wondered if the old motor could be useful for anything? Can't think what but thought you guys might have a project idea...

    Cooking Beef at 55 degrees.

    I've been longing for a Sous Vide. It's a very precise water bath that allows you to set temps to 1/10th of a degree. You can then cook steak perfectly. 56.5 is meant to be optimum. As the OP said you can't over cook it like that. However this is only for beef. Do not cook pork or chicken like...
