A forstener bit ,depth gauge set on the drill handle and a sharp chisel and a good dose of care and patience. do you not know anyone with a mortise machine.5 minute job hallowing it out on that.Exterior is the easy bit

i'd tend to rule out the threading on the bar first with a matched ordinary nut as its rare to damage cast threads so easily on the turn wheel. if all seems well on the threaded bar ,you'll need to retap the thread on the wheel but go gentle and use a bit of cutting oil as you go . cast can be a...

thanks for all the advice.safe enough it seems . electric is not my favourite subject and always wary of overload

I have an array of different chargers for my cordless gear that i need to use many evening when i get home. I bought a 4 gang extension lead ,fixed it to the wall to create a charging station in the workshop but it came into my head that running 4 chargers of an extension lead from a single 13...

When i was working on housing stock mid 80's ,i was swinging 5 int doors a day and all bored out with brace and bit . main thing was to have good bits and a wee triangular file for edging them now and then . Changed times . Best use of a brace was always the 1 1/4" hole for a nightlatch .Superb...

should be simple enough to bore it on one side centre and then with the new hole lined up with the shaft bore,run the drill through the other side with the whole thing in situ to ensure an accurate bore right through. have,nt used or seen a brace used in many years. still have 2 and a set of...

I fitted one of those wee oiling points to the back of my nail gun . It uses up the oil really quickly though. Do i need to keep filling it or is one fill a day sufficent

i haven't noticed a drain point on it. the small compressor that i use on site with the brad nailer has one and always releases quite a bit of moisture when i bleed it at the end of the day when in use. i have ideas about starting to refinish existing kitchens in the long run and might get into...

thanks for the info. on the point of oiling the tools,i fitted an in line oil thing to the back of my crown head nailer which i v bought to build the workshop . do you need to keep this filled or does one fill a day do it as it seems to use up the oil very quickly .

I,ve just completed my build in a similar fashion. I purpose made 3 trusses(6x2 rafters) for mid and quarter positions on the 9m length and fitted 6x3 purlins(3 runs each side)flush top and bottom between the trusses with the gable studding kept down 6" to overshoot the purlins before trimming...

Just getting my new shop electrics finalised and now need to design an air system. A simple set up of a wheeled 100 ltr compressor which will be put out to an external covered area beside the roller door when required . I have an external double socket now in place for it and ordering a...

So how do you keep a madman happy ? The west and nato's collective response to russia's past aggression of its neighbours is the seed that sowed todays shocking scenes in Ukraine, Germany and France in particular.The former who had an East German ruler and russian speaker who gladly signed up to...

I couldn't agree more. The majority of people want the best of everything but don't want to pay for it,the NHS being the perfect example. Those who do pay private for health or schooling often are on the receiving end of abuse ,despite actually lessening the load on the nation. Weird thinking...

Deep pockets and a very tick skin required in dealing with this issue. Planners ,rights of access unless you own the stream,water agencies etc,cost of connection to the grid unless you intend to store power for your own use only which is also costly .A small wind turbine on your own patch and...

i went today and placed my order for the sabre 350 +wheel kit/pt 107 planner/ts250c table saw /db25b bench drill and some blades and stuff . the gentleman uses some of the stuff himself and pretty happy and knowledgable about all the kit. over £4k all in need to get this workshop finished and...

I was speaking to a supplier yesterday regarding a few machines and they said there is a promotion starting 1st nov on a lot of the stuff . just a wee heads up for anyone thinking of a purchase to hold off until then . unfortunately the pt107 not on offer but going today to see the stuff and...

so the rotary switch isolates the whole 16a board .is that correct as i intend fitting 4 blue i6a sockets ,all wirded individually with 4 trips at the CU .sounds like a good idea and the usb plugs on the 13a plug circuit too.

Thanks. Its an all timber constructed shop. the supply is either 6 or 10mm .not sure The spark doing it is a fully certified guy with great experience and knowledge so it will be done properly . I was just getting info as to the special requirments of running machines to guard against any...
