Totally agree with all of this. I work for a big corporation who in the early days allowed personal calls on work phone but all calls logged and we had to pin personal calls to be paid for. I never did that and "if" I made a call to the wife to say I would be late home due to work, considered...

Having used the insulated metal sandwich roofing recently I wouldn't hesitate to recomend it. 8.5 M might be a bit heavy on it's own but you could split that into two lengths with an overlap and you would be able to fit in a day assuming timber underneath is suitable, and then apply appropriate...

Benchdogs have released a non UK option to purchase the clasp upgrade by buying just the clasp and getting an engineering drawing to have the holes machined. I queried this as a possible UK purchase (I have a milling machine) and they were happy to let me purchase this option. Not too onerous a...

I thought he said Aliexpress for the bandsaw blades, and the way Aliexpress works is there are multiple sellers under the umbrella not all as reliable as each other.

"I'm surprised nobody has picked up the fact that we use a rule and not a ruler." It certainly popped into my head having had it beaten into to me in my schooldays, but had a feeling it has been accepted into common language. I looked it up and got it "off of" the interweb and it appears so.

woodruff cutter

"I have no issues with that, tried this and the blade remains stable with rising or lowering." good to hear always worth a look though.

I had one of these briefly, if this is the pre cast iron motor housing you will find you get misalignment depending on whether you are raising the blade or lowering it. Place a sheet of a4 paper beside the blade and raise and lower the blade a small amount, you should see it deviating from...

Nice work, I would have used that locking joint if I was a professional, but being an amateur I went with purchased on line cladding. Once I get the workshop set up properly I would be able to machine those joints more readily, then again I don't intend to repeat that particular job and not...

You may want to consider the method I used to get thicker post. Stairs refurbishment

I will be ordering custom size which price wise over standard length is not a great deal different

I am on the cusp of ordering mine from Insulated Wall Panels | The Insulated Panel Store who gave me the info quoted and who have the video

5 metre span at 120 thickness 4 metre span at 80 mm thickness. There is demo on one web site with a deflectometer, which is where I got the info. I was going to do 5 metre flat roof but have switched to pitched as I didn't thinking could physically manage the larger sheets

Well... That would depend on a few things, the quality of the original timber, is the top rail set at your desired width as it should be rebated. Have they used cut nails gone rusty so the amount of force required will be destructive. It is possible to use a hole cutter around the nails to...

My work colleague has a house new build as you describe built by a local reputable builder and he has the same issue. I would guess even though it's insulated the style of construction with all but one elevation being external it's not cocooned in the same way as the rest of the house. I had...

From what I can see there is a secondary piece of frame (inch board) packing out on the right, assuming that is attached to studwork I would take the opportunity to have the whole thing out and start again, it will be easier in the long run than trying to shave bits of and add things and cut...

Regardless of the idea which personally I wouldn't even consider on the "enough obstacles to trip me up in life without me adding to them" basis, the amount of effort to provide relatively small storage in awkwardly accessible location also doesn't tick the "effort for return" button. That said...

I have the same bandsaw and my tyres broke up a couple of years ago they are alloy wheels on that model or mine is anyway. I don't recall having an issue, so cannot recall the process unfortunately. Getting the tyres on a different matter and I have described that elsewhere on here

"How does that work? I can't answer the question but agree you have a point in that it doesn't completely. If I plane an edge on a board and continue to plane without taking the effect from cutter position into account I'll never get a flat edge it will always bow down at the ends because the...

I've used powertoolmate recently for kapex saw better than ffx and good service. I hadn't previously heard of them and was a bit suspicious but all good.
