    True or false - compressors

    I bought a large and small tacwise electric brad nailer set a few years ago when on offer. When I came to use them years later they couldn't drive a pin through pine! Completely useless. Recently I was at a shop where the guy cleaned all the gunk from machines with an air pistol so I have...

    Things you don't expect to be doing Friday night

    That's correct. 3x2m room with a screw thread at bottom to carry pellets into the next door heating room. My brother in law who's firm is building the house turned up with a load of osb and said "build the pellet room funnel" and bogged off to off piste in the mountains for three days. That...

    But they would then have more time to answer emails and phone. A few weeks ago Helen said they should be ready within a week. I only hope they took a holiday and Richard wasn't incapacitated badly by fumes Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Maguire Benches

    Does anyone know if anything is wrong over at the English Woodworker? I have had a couple of vices on order for a few months, and as my sister is coming to Italy next week I asked for them to be delivered before end of this week. Now despite numerous phone calls and emails, I have had no reply...

    Bench position

    Thanks guys, I will defo have my bench away from wall, that was a real pain in my last shop. I can't really turn the bench as the table saw will be in the way. The room is carefully laid out in that regard, with the ability to use bench as infeed for massive boards if required. I have...

    Steve's workshop - Painting the outside walls

    Outwards is harder to break down as there is a frame behind it. Doesn't take any space in your workshop, can't get trapped inside as easily. so +1 for outwards. As someone said front doors are inwards to prevent smashing visitors in the face, which I always thought was a shame...

    Spotlights for a small ceiling cavity.

    Most LED downlight i have looked at at 10cm high and require 5cm space all around. i assumed this was for heat. Dave

    Spotlights for a small ceiling cavity.

    I have 3cm above the Formacell used for my ceilings. Was hoping to get spots in, however they clearly need fire safety heat clearance. Does anyone know of some really low profile LED spots? Thanks, Dave

    So much for discouraging incandescent light bulbs

    I think the ocean is made up of drops. A few billion of them is not to be sniffed at. It of course does not mean we can ignore everything else that we do that wastes energy. Having put in a 7,000 Litre rain water tank, and enough insulation to keep a pooh bear factory stuffed for a decade, I...

    So much for discouraging incandescent light bulbs

    I like feeding time :twisted: If you want to actually buy a hoover, or sellotape, or pritt-stick, or a jacuzzi, cellophane or velcro, bikini or asparin, then that's fine. So a light bulk is correct, until it's not. However unlike the other examples above, it's not a brand, it's a form...

    So much for discouraging incandescent light bulbs

    As for tony, not sure why you think a few billion people saving 90w per lamp is going to have no effect... the fact is you CAN get LED lights that have almost the same effect as incandescent. However you definitely get what you pay for, cheap LEDs can be awful. If LED had been invented first...

    So much for discouraging incandescent light bulbs

    I believe that any bulbous lamp can be rightly called a light bulb. Therefore a Halogen lamp that is one of those stick thingies (official naming), is not a light bulb, however the picture from the OP shows only light bulbs. :D

    So much for discouraging incandescent light bulbs

    CFL, Halogen and LED bulbs come in a range of sizes and brightnesses and warmths. You should always be able to find what you need. There are also dimmable LED bulbs. Here is a hundred watt (equivalent) warm white (2800k) LED. This ought to be the same as 100w incandescent, with about 1/8th...
