    No slack in electric sockets - what's the trick?

    The grey outer sheath stops as soon as its inside the box. The remaining T+E are left long enough to go to the opposite end of the box and back to the socket connections.

    Pro Performance Scroll Saw

    Well that definitely looks like a scroll saw :) The only reference I can find online to a PP scrollsaw is a completely different model but does indeed use 165mm blades and the reviews attached to said page all comment on the lack of availability of such, so it looks like it could be destined...

    Never used a lathe, have a couple of questions

However if you are using a pen mandrel to make ..er pens, you do not require the chuck, the morse taper of the mandrel fits directly into the headstock and the other end is...

    Cheers folks. I think Coley may have nailed with the pipes as they'll go '3D' and if all else fails I can use them in work for their intended purposes afterwards. Thanks again for the suggestions.

    bendy 'stick' that holds its shape - for metalwork

    Is there such a thing and if so what's it called? I'm trying to mock up, not so much a template, but an example to follow of bended(?) metal tube to make some engine guard / crash bars for a bike. Currently using 5 or 6mm bar which works to a point but deforms a bit too much when re shaping...

    Just got a new table saw, what causes this

    Sorry to be the naysayer, but tanalised timber is for rough outdoor use. If you cut it it should then be re-sealed if you want it to last e.g. https://www.toolstation.com/ensele-end- ... 7MQAvD_BwE If its not a shed or something 'rustic' looking, you're using the wrong timber.
