Completely agree. Sorry @clogs ! It's definitely a Slasher rather than a Bill Hook. It's a Cornelius Whitehouse, Hedgehog brand, Cannock made job. So should be decent quality. It was actually destined for a friend, as he asked me to look out for a Bill Hook, I couldn't find any of them so this...

Was it a steal or did he see us coming?! We were enjoying a Steam Rally today and happened upon these to two planes on one of the stalls. My brother was keen, as the guy only wanted £10 each, but couldn't decide which one. So I suggested that we get the pair for £18, the seller agreed so we...

Yep, we've been in continuous autumn since July here in the Midlands.

I've had some of these for years. They've got the dimple. https://ffx.co.uk/product/Get/Stanley-Sta058930-3253560589301-Dynagrip-Nail-Punch--Set-Of-3-0-58-930

Thanks. It's good to get confirmation. Mystery solved!

Copper plumbing pipe is easier than steel tube.

This is a definite contender. You'd need something long and slender like these to thin out bunches of grapes for instance.

I think they're too delicate for that. I was going give them a quick tickle up as they're not very sharp, though still cut well, but I couldn't ascertain the angle with my dodgy eyes. It looked to be only a bit more than 90 degrees. Maybe that gives a clue to their usage?

Yep I had similar thoughts about something refined. Bonsai snipping I speculated, though that wouldn't quite make sense as they're Italian.

Here's the second question. How best to renovate or replace the drum on this; It's another tool that I inherited from my late father, another of his homemade jobs, based on a big old lazy industrial motor, (so no shortage of power). I'm not sure if it's a drum or spindle sander, hence the...

Evening all So I've got two questions this evening! Here's the first. I picked these pair of what I thought were secateurs up from a car booster recently. I've just looked at them again and now wondering if they're actually some kind of scissors instead, maybe for some special application. Any...

Hi Simon. Welcome. I too am a Simon. Also a Brummy now, not indigenous.

Ah, that's it. Thanks. I was wondering how it works.

Got one but never used it!

Yep. I think.

Top wheel;- Lower wheel

I have a similar issue on my fairly recently aquired Kity 615. Not as bad though as it seems to work ok, no blade jumping off. That might just be because I'm using a 12mm blade. Not looked at it for a while but I wasn't happy with the arrangement when I first set it up. Since it cuts ok as it is...

Beautiful. Very elegant and feminine. Brilliant work. Just to echo the sentiments about mistakes - no-one else will see them. I speak from experience, being a perfectionist myself! It's much easier to say it though obviously.

So as a keen gardener I'm eager to encourage Mason Bees into the garden, as they're great pollinators. I got given a load of nest tubes for my birthday but they were loose so I need to make a box or boxes for them. I'm short on time so decided to cheat and just use a section of hollow log. The...
