With his thumbless on this one, the lever cap is the way I was taught, that's by the by though. Nice job on re-purposing something to a different task, give the handle a quick rub and some linseed and you'd be hard pressed to know what it was to begin with.

does it have to be MIG? if it's thick stuff (+2mm) then you might find you can use arc (. a cheap inverter with a crapish duty cycle but it's less than anything else. a cheap transformer unit will be cheaper for a better duty cycle. it will also teach you how to weld for real instead of jumping...

zero point buying a gasless, they are not worth it. you can run a MIG on flux core without gas, means swapping the polarity over but that's it. only real benefit is the size of the box (no gas is smaller as it's missing half the stuff) 200 quid is going to be something like a clarke 125/145...

Bob there isn't a spiral bit out there that is designed to cut through ceramic/glass and actually works. you can't get the clearance angle on it. instead I use these glass bits, much better. a splash of water to form a slurry as it cuts helps too. https://www.screwfix.com/p/glass-drill- ...

If you fancy a bit of a challange and dont mind learning then a raspberry pi zero with camera module and IR lamp, and a lithium battery pack will set you back about 40 quid and when you're done it will be useful for other things.

Heinz "look at this mental use of a table saw" Diresta " look what happens when you use a saw in a normal way but it bites you all the same" Think ill stick to a real sander thanks.

first rule of the NDA is that we don't talk about the NDA? second rule of the NDA, WE DONT TALK ABOUT THE NDA......

No offence mean't here Mike, and I'm in total agreement with your reasoning, but my money is on Bob if it comes to that level of response. Whilst I understand you have a set of skills you have gained over the years, some of Bobs skill can't be spoken about in polite society (nor without signing...

I tend to make one for each thickness of material, normally I work in 22mm so that one gets used the most but this means I can work in random sizes as I see fit (currently need to make one for 42mm as that's the thickness of the bed frame timbers after they were dimensioned). :) I don't use...

For 500 quid thats a seriously good 3d printer or a mediocre to kinda works ok laser cutter. Either find abother 500 quid and get something thats going to uct more than a few mm or buy the printer. Find a local maker space for the use of a laser cutter,they tend to have better than you can...

I'm giving all credit i can give to the engineers and skilled crafts people who designed and built it. Musk can have everyone elses admiration. I watched it with my 6 year old son who happened to still be awake and in no way did i keep him awake for it.......... :wink: As for NASA misplacing...

*Food of the gods. *Only surpassed by a wigan kebab and smack. Note * Neither are true but both are still jolly fine.

A blacksmith uses a hammer day in and day out, every size you can imagine. what's the handle of his/her hammer's made from?

It rather depends on the plug. something like a common brown 7mm will pull out with the screw trick (same with the 4mm red plugs)*. Get something like a winged plug though and you might aswell cut the flush and fill the hole. I'v found the best way to deal with them is to drill a hole 2...

Hadnt noticed the "whata this bit" question. Yes it a sphere cutting plate. Yes its rare has hens teeth. The stop is mearly there to set a centre, dont to to swing past and ruin ypur cut by hitting the back of the tool. To use it you turn a shaft down to as small as you dare (depends on the...

Dont confuse HP with torque. Your circular saw will bind and stop in wood if it gets a bit tight, that motor will smash the wood to bits, light it on fire and feed it with the ghosts of mfi furniture. Completely different beasts. HP is a function of speed and torque, try to use your circular...

Please give your mother my sympathies Mike. it took my father at a considerable younger age and it's ****. (censorship here doesn't do what I want to say justice)

Robus GU10 fire rated units with phillips GU10 bulbs have just gone up in our kitchen. no idea on life but they look good, are easy to fit and changable.
