Dan made me 5 adaptors at £5 each with free postage.

My Daughter who is 30 YO and into crafts, crocheting etc made me laugh a few weeks ago when she asked "How did you learn things before YouTube?" I then had to explain that your Dad or Mum or Uncle or whoever taught you how to do things. I remember I could change set of brake shoes (remember...

Finger joints? lots of surface area for the glue.

I did A level Metalwork and we were trained to fit blade to cut on push, but if pull works for you! That's why Japanese saws can be so thin. Love mine

I bought the Aldi battery one a couple of years ago with a 40V battery (have the angle grinder also). I found the chain saw to be a great bit of kit. Cut up a large Cherry tree stump easily and 8" boughs also. No where near as heavy as my petrol one. Angle grinder is also very good for light...

If I was doing this for a living I'd defo have these in my van

Wonder what the "road tax" system will be for EVs as they become more popular? Govt can't afford to lose all that income. Didn't realise until last year that any car over £40k(?) attracts an additional £400pa road tax. A mate of mine has a Audi Q5 4ltr Quattro and I think he said it was £720p.a...

Cracked it again Doug. Even buying new posts probably cheaper than hardcore, hiring wacka plate and a cubic metre concrete. Any kits recommended

Great job. Been thinking about something similar so can I ask how you shaped the top piece? Why did you alter the diagonal brace from the original design. i.e. Corner to corner? What wood would be best value for this project

I have a Bosch green impact driver which has been a great bit of kit. Coped with everything I've I've wanted to do. Bought drill/driver from same range and also very good apart from hammer drill seems a bit weak. Recently bought the Bosch cordless ROS and was annoyed because batteries were...

I am thinking about building something like this garden room. Dimensions are not critical but just thinking of OSB board sizes. I watched a video of a guy who does it commercially and he uses many threaded bars concreted into ground with a foot plate which the frame then sits in. Is there a...

I have never been in an EV, but as it is direct drive? I am guessing it has no gears? If that is so, is it technically classed as an automatic for driving test purposes? So if you pass your test in one you are not qualified to drive a manual gearbox car.

For years I thought they were called Harris fencing. DOH!

I bought a cordless Bosch ROS recently and on the box it showed a picture of a Guy polishing his car with it. I used to be on a Car owners FB thing until recently but many of the contributors were so anal about washing and polishing their cars (detailing, I think they called it). I mentioned I...

There must be other more appropriate forums for this sort of stuff - look at the name of the forum FFS. Go to social injustice.com or something similar

I have a Scheppach hs105 and was advised the thickest grooving blade to fit this was 6mm. I bought from CMT (bit unhappy about carriage charge of £6.95) but works really well

Not knowing a lot I would always call things of that nature bolts, not screws. When does a screw become a bolt - or vice versa?

Bought a new waste for my kitchen sink as old one started dripping and I overtightened it and it broke. The old one didn't have a top washer (20 years old) but the new one did (B & Q)

just put desks into search box at top right or google desks, find one you like and try and copy it. Plenty of advice on here from experts (not me)

That looks far more inviting than I first thought and the door has a lock! This might sound a bit lame but put a bird table outside you window. Very therapeutic when having your coffee break to watch them. Have you got your desk yet as plenty of inspiration on this forum to build one. Good luck
