    Do fix broken stuff or buy again?

    I have to have a go, a sealed unit is a challenge not to be missed and a cheap power tool likewise, if you can't fix it what have you lost? Btw my very old erbauer router, bought while on site away from home went up in a cloud of smoke and it was the speed controller.Now it doesn't have one is...

    Screws for oak cladding

    Sorry i posted the wrong link, these are the best ones with the double thread and small head and are stainless, for mush less money you can get spax wirox in the same pattern. They are truly excellent, in seasoned oak and close to the board end you can pre frill but in green timber cladding...

    Screws for oak cladding

    You may find the tongue tite too skinny, they are excellent for invisible floorboard fastening and don't need pre drilling. I would used something like this Spax Wirox TX Countersunk Flooring Screw 4.5 x 60mm 300 Pack - Screwfix Stainless versions are available also different makes, I think axi...

    Wanted Brush Cutter (Regarding my previous topic: 'Strimmer')

    +1 for the scythe, I have a lovely old heavy UK scythe which cuts beautifully but is quite hard work as a non pro. But I bought an European one similar to Jacobs link to the Alpine one in an Italian boot sale and it is fantastic. I can use it for an hour without any effort,now anyway, and I...

    Oak gate fix, any thoughts?

    The gates need recladding, the frame can be cleaned up and repaired as necessary and the job will look right when finished.

    Fixing the Festool TS55 dust port

    Advice on removing timber window frame in one piece

    Looking for new builders will take longer than a new window. And as I say this is an easy job for yourself, but ultimately will the building inspector pass it when it's done? It is very easy to ask if he'll be happy with the unit thickness and the opening sizes etc etc before making the...

    Advice on removing timber window frame in one piece

    Maybe you should listen to your builders, how much will you pay someone to remove this window? Who will guarantee the install? How long will the double glazing seals last after being undone and reseated? As a tradesman I wouldn't shortcut an extension for this little cost. As a homeowner I...

    Sold Mirka Deros 5650 CV

I use the mirka long sock around the lead and extraction pipe and maybe this contributed to the problem. After much searching I found...
