    Trend angle measurer £16.

    Read this thread and using that Amazon link (and being tight) I delved a little further and got this one for £9.95…..my daughter has prime so got it the day after and it’s brill! 👍...

    Thread tapping.

    I take offence at that 😂

    Take a look here for exactly what you can do…… 😁👍

    Aldi Ferrex Bandsaw tension varies as it rotates.

    I genuinely believe that people will pay an honest price for anything BUT the problem is that the general consensus of ‘everything is made in China’ leads to the thought that someone over here is buying them very cheaply and making a whopping profit by upping the price.

    Are Skillsaw designed for left handed people?

    Bl**dy hell! I’m left handed and if this is the case it’ll be the first time ever that a world designed for right-handers has helped me out 🤪

    Floor-standing pillar drill column

    That’s really good to hear as I’m a b*gger for thinking and not doing 👍. Yes, you are correct but there’s been a few instances where I’ve needed to drill down into something that was far longer than the depth from drill point to workbench. Plus, as someone else has mentioned, I can save a fair...

    Floor-standing pillar drill column

    This got my attention as I’ve been thinking about doing the same to convert my diy workbench drill press into a much higher/longer model. Up to now I haven’t done anything more than think about it but, and unless I’ve completely missed something, I was planning on ringing a mate of mine...

    Should I use Building Fabric Behind Larch Weatherboarding?

    I don’t think I’d be using, or trusting, OSB as a vapour barrier, especially if used externally. Counter batten and ventilated space for me every time.

    Vapour Barrier?

    Yep, I’d agree with that. When I built mine I used metal profiled sheets that I knew would condensate but I wrapped the whole shed (walls and roof) with a breathable membrane. I also built-in continuous ventilation that runs from front back. This construction doesn’t stop the problem but DEALS...

    Ground screws supplier to support 11x7 plastic shed on 2x4 frame?

    I considered some ‘cheap’ ground screws for my last plastic shed as I simply didn’t want to have to go to the trouble of digging and pouring founds (even shallow ones). In the end I came to the conclusion that it was simply a shed and so I removed the turf and loose-placed a levelled...

    Record Power TSPP250

    Another thing…..I never did find out what that button did!

    Record Power TSPP250

    That ref link was from me. I’ve had my tspp250 in complete bits because of several common issues with this machine and, apart from the bl**dy fence, I now have it running properly including the pull blade function. I‘ve definitely written on this forum about how I solved my own 45 issue (the...

    Electric house heating - any new tech savvy members?

    We bought a bungalow with an oil boiler, fitted a wood burning stove and then a heat recovery system that heats a 200ltr cylinder for ‘nothing’ (if you know what I mean). My plumber converted the ‘old’ oil boiler/cylinder/tank system into a pressurised stand-alone unit to enable me to get rid of...

    Electric house heating - any new tech savvy members?

    i like that idea and have thought about doing it myself for years. Do you ever get the smell from the wood burner in the bathroom or the bedroom?….. in other words is there a risk of dragging in any fumes?

    8.A New toy

    Thats my exact thoughts too! I’d love to get one. I would also like to ask a question in regard to that feather board…..for an application like that, do all filaments possess enough ‘tension’ or ‘spring’ or did you have to chose a specific one for that purpose? I’m just thinking that in that...

    Plastic Shed !!!!

    Ply sheets to the walls for added protection and tool hanging….That’s what I’ve done with the two I’ve put up. 👍 They were already sturdy but this improves the functionality. I don’t understand those that buy such ‘alternatives’ then complain that they‘re flimsy and ‘not wood’.

    Replacement fence for record power TSPP250

    Any takers please? I posted this on the ‘tools’ forum but had no responses…… Hi all, I‘ve posted a few things about my machine previously. I’m generally happy with it (suits my needs anyway) and have put up with the initially broken/repaired fence for a few years now but it’s only now that...
