    Many thanks too AES,mbartlett99 and anyone else who suggested an allen key end...good call. I have only ever found grub screws with slotted ends and then only about 4 -5 so I never considered allen keys. It took me 3 hrs this am to find out that there is an allen key end on this. I tried 5.5...

    Assistance needed with bathroom conundrum

    My bath has a rotating knob of 4" diameter on the side and behind this is the overflow. Access to the knobs fastening is through a 3/8" hole in the side of the knob. Looking in with a focussed torch light I can see what appears to be the threads for a grub screw. I have tried poking a...

    bandsaw motor

    MikeJHn is possibly making a correct recommendation. I just got the impression you wanted to keep costs down. Remember that its very difficult to damage an electric motor such that it won't work and often requires fairly simple and quick to do repairs.

    bandsaw motor

    treefrog, I would start by removing the motor and taking it apart. If you don't feel up to that then have a look at owwm.org as a site that will have more experience on motor disassembly than any 50 people could absorb in a lifetime. Check the brushes as failure here will render motor very...

    £18 seems a bit steep

    Starrett

    Bought mine in 1995 secondhand. It was spot on square and has been faultless ever since. Pretty good.

    Old wooden spirit level

    Hi, I refurbed a metal one last year. It was fairly simple to do but like yours was covered in mortar and not looked after. I have some of the vials/bubbles left over ( 7 I think ). Let me know by PM if your interested.

    Furniture Research - Help!

    What a poor ignorant troll you really are Jacob. To small minded to actually understand what was written to try to help. Your assertion about my lack of ideas is amusing if somewhat crass. One of us owns a few patents for our ideas turned into products and I'm pretty certain its not you...

    Furniture Research - Help!

    if you believe that then why are you messing about with market research. Just make and sell. Good ideas are as rare as hens teeth. All ideas are born drowning and it takes something very special to get an idea through various stages of development. You obviously don't get it so I will not...

    Furniture Research - Help!

    Misread and wrong again . The method is independent of product and works with just about anything and I have sold £ millions of value with no discernable product in your terms. Having a product is one thing but you need to know what product for what audience or at least a good approximation...

    Furniture Research - Help!

    I glad to say your doing it wrong. I've wanted to say that to someone for years. I have worked at teaching innovation and thinking for 20+ years in the EU/UK/USA and Asia. I think that most of the above comments carry some ring of truth BUT no solutions. Most comments are just cliche's...

    Workshop heating

    eoinsgaff, First, IR is a poor way to heat. Only the object hit by the IR will warm up. IR's ability to warm the mass of air in a workshop is almost zero. Rusting tools can be prevented by having your tools held in a cupboard with a small greenhouse heater + thermostat in the bottom. I...

    Small workshop fine dust extraction

    Hi, I have just received quotes for DC for my 15ft x 48 ft workshop. I just sat down and laughed at the large fees being required. I currently run 2x Record DX4000 ( onr at each end) and a small cyclone in the middle but need more suck. I have been looking at Marius Hornberger's site in...

    Peace of mind re: asbestos roof

    I have a shed where I removed the asbestos cement sheets and replaced with OSB and bitumenised corrugated sheets. I did a DIY test for asbestos first which showed nothing. I then called the local council and spoke to their asbestos expert who decided to come round and have a look. He...
