Finally got around to dumping Sky, ends later this month, realised we really hadn't watched much actual Sky content last couple of years and it was largely the same old tired content going around in a continuous loop ! Have been looking at the freesat channels which i believe the Sky HD box...

I've used aspen for a few years in my chainsaws and garden equipment, shockingly expensive at around £20 for five litres, but good for the reason you mentioned, less bad fumes in use, and allegedly less corrosive on fuel lines and seals.

Start by tipping out all the old fuel and filling with fresh mix, take out and check/clean the spark plug, and then spend a bit of time pulling on the starter cord. Even if it still doesn't start you will hopefully be flushing any residual old mix out of the carb. If still not starting then...

I would make every effort to hinge from the garage wall side, much easier and probably more successful to fasten a timber plate there for weight bearing. Otherwise, some concrete posts are pre-drilled for different fixings and if you are lucky to have one of those you can just bolt through in...

Sorry, didn't explain too well as was dashing off to do something else ! After turning and finish sanding the bowl, and before any surface treatment, run the bowl under the kitchen tap for a second to wet the surface of the wood and then let it dry again. You will find that after it dries that...

I make a few bowls and plates now and again for eating from, popular in bushcrafty circles for use around the campfire it seems :) These ones are from spalted sycamore and quite rustic and characterful, soaked in walnut oil for an hour or so after wetting to raise the grain and lightly sanding...

You're welcome BB :) Just noticed the date of the original thread ! Ten years on and still in regular use, no changes or repairs needed, the bench even survived moving to a new workshop too and fits right in :)

Just had a boiler replacement in our large 4 bed in south of England, slightly north of £3k, which was the middle quote of three, but not much spread between them. Included a replacement radiator, magnaclean type filter, new zone valves and stuff too which creeps the cost up. A smaller property...

Wow, interesting reading indeed. Wonder if the plastic look may be down to not wiping off surplus oil after ten minutes or so each coat, leaves a build up on the surface ?

Don't know if this will help, as not familiar with the Sellers bench, but it's how I went about fitting one a while back vices-fitting-a-record-bench-vice-t25365.html?hilit=record%20vice

Shame the OP hasn't been online again since the original posting, still, hopefully some of the ideas will help someone else in the future....

Or leave the jaws as they are and buy another set of jaw carriers to use with the other jaws, quick and easy to swap them out, although a few more quid of course.....

Spray some penetrating oil on and leave to soak for a while, use proper penetrating oil rather than WD40 which is not as effective. Can also try giving the end of the key a good sharp tap with a hammer to break any "seal" with the jaw. Heating may also help break the "seal". Hopefully one or...

Looking good :) Prompting me to dig out some of my supplies and get to work ! Look forward to seeing what comes out of them :) Sent from my SM-A530F using Tapatalk

They are also sought after for carving kuksas, traditional scandinavian drinking cups, knife handles/scales, veneers for boxes etc and of course bowls, probably some other things I've missed too ?!! Not local unfortunately otherwise would have loved to have had it off you :)

I used these ones in my recent workshop fit out Eric, not cheap but worth every penny I reckon as the light output is very good indeed for my needs. https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-led-batt ... -5ft/3376g From memory there are two six foot units along the length of the centre ridge beam in a...

Yes, that battle was fought and lost, this was then about interpreting the permission and ensuring it was built to plan to avoid further issues. Separately though, there is a FOI request in to better understand how a very ambitious planning proposal came to be approved, together with several...

That's annoying ! Had another coffee and cleared my head a bit and figured out how to compare the two drawings, which were on different scales, and enlarged them enough to give a reasonable degree of accuracy, and the block plan outline of the new dwelling does actually correspond to the wall...

Yes, we fought and lost that battle already I'm afraid :( This though is a bit different, it's a question of whether the build already approved has to be built as drawn and approved or whether the planners can just wave through departures from the approval (if my interpretation of the drawings...
