Thanks Roy. Come to think of it - it was turning itself back on again before - but now it just turns over really slowly and then cuts out. And this is blowing the fuse. I temporarily put a 30A fuse wire in the plug (:oops:) - and still the same problem. I have to release all the air for it to...

Thanks chaps. Been looking for these slow blow fuses but can't find 13amp 1 inch one only lower amp 20mm ones? I've tried it on an extension lead but no joy unfortunately. Olly no it came with a 13a plug. Axminster sent me a blue plug free but don't have 16a supply in my shed :(. Kind offer -...

Following a very helpful chat with Chris, I've decided to have a go at spraying and have gone the compressor / HVLP (well actually RP) conversion gun route. The compressor is this one: http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp? ... e=1&jump=0 It comes with a 13A plug but keeps blowing the fuse when...

This was posted in 2004! This was their first bench chisels I guess. Cheers Gidon

Perfect - thanks Rob. :( - they are out of stock at Axminster. Cheers Gidon

An alternative to stropping is using my method described here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDoRLdR4zC0 I use 0.5 micron microfinishing film on top of my green DMT stone for the final polishing. I get about the same edge as I do if I strop (with some Clifton blue soap and leather) but it's...

My shed is pretty drafty and I successfully keep things rust free with a dehumidifer. Guess it depends just how drafty it is but may be worth giving it a go. Cheers Gidon

Really impressive stuff Carter. As someone who doesn't even own a scroll saw (am I even allowed on this forum) - can I ask how you get the picture on the wood? Is is hand painted on? Cheers Gidon

Robert - thanks for that - that's very reassuring to know. Cheers Gidon (I could have sworn I had already replied but for some reason my post is missing :-k).

I don't know why - Scrit may be along to help you. A lot of the old Elu models are made now by Dewalt with few changes. Also Trend make an almost identical version of the MOF96 - the T5. Although the quality isn't the same as the old Elu stuff but still pretty good. Elu stuff still comes up on...

Gone :). Cheers Gidon

If anyone wants this for free, please let me know via PM. Cheers Gidon

Glad I checked - cos I couldn't really be bothered to varnish it! Hadn't really occured to me the issues with painting and varnishing - I may just give a coat of the Cuprinol on the inside too and be done with it. Thanks Gill - will look into that too - I have a few other garden projects ...

Well done mailee - very good. How did you bend the edging round? And what is the finish? Cheers Gidon

This stuff Paul: http://www.cuprinol.co.uk/products/wood ... rview.html Guess my answer is there - I'm just not convinced for some reason. Cheers Gidon

Thanks chaps. I guess I've never used this wood preserver stuff. I've done two coats - it's very thin. How many coats do you reckon? Do you reckon I can use it as a primer for painting the inside? The children have hardly been in it - the weather's been erally bad - plus only just cleared our...

I've forgotten to post a photo of the playhouse finished so here it is with a couple of coats of wood preserver: I'm planning to give it a couple of coats of yacht varnish when we get a spell of dry weather. And I'll paint the inside. It was great fun to make - recommend it to anyone with...

Glad you're sorted! If you really want to get confused try using an (US) Incra jig to cut dovetails with Woodrat (Metric) bits! Cheers Gidon

Ok I get you! What do you need that bit for exactly? Cheers Gidon

What's nearly right - sorry don't get it? Cheers Gidon
