Have you tried aliexpress or Bangood ? I found this thing https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005003022515052.html Ollie

This is probably right. My friend moved into a council block and there was a warning not to do anything to the floor tiles, just carpet over them. Ollie

I have the trend airshield, it is effective but will give you neck ache if using it for longer than about half an hour at a time. You can get tear off strips like formula one drivers have to protect the shield. I also have a 3M one that is a better design because the battery and motor unit is...

I like to make dominos from the same timber I am jointing if its important. The other plus of the domino is using it for much bigger tennons on stuff like gates or doors, I did some oak ones with 80mm by 14mm loose tenons and it only took 5 minutes a side.

I would vote for Mirka sanders and Festool extractors. I own 2 festool vacuums and they are really very good, the new flexible cloth covered hose would convince me to buy the Festool over the Mirka extractor (the Mirka one is actually a Nilfisk). I would say get a Fein saw for corner sanding...

Thanks for the update . I was a bit worried it might be a bit soft and vulnerable. Ollie

Cut a bit out, go to the Schlegel website and find the correct one. I would say that the seal in the bottom photo has been replaced before with the wrong one. They will be hard to get out, you might need to make a "tool" to get the first bit out. You need to make sure the front part doesn't...

I would suggest something like the Axminster ( or a different coloured Chinese machine ) oscillating one I have. You can have the belt flat, vertical, or angles between. Mine is the old version, the new ones have a better rise and fall adjustment on the bed. I put a wheeled base on it so it can...

You will need a proper airless sprayer (really a pump) or air assisted airless (a pump with extra air to smooth the pattern) . Turbines or traditional guns wont be able to properly deal with emulsion or you will have to thin it so much you will need lots of coats. The pressures on the pumps...

I find this stuff a bit crazy. The AI art app is really terrifiyingly good. My initial thought is that by using it then we are effectively training it to understand us and thus control or kill us much more effectively. Also giving the developers of it cycles and cycles of free development. I...

I have done this on a ceiling that looked just like this but was on plasterboard. Using a product from toolstation called X-Tex. It is a jelly sort of consistency. You paint it on the artex and it sinks in and softens it. You can see it change colour as it soaks in, apply it generously and maybe...

Not read through this but the first thing that came to mind is a 3d printer. Either print and use it as it is, or use the prints to do a lost wax style casting. Ollie

You could get a Sorby Pro edge and use that with the bonus of being able to sharpen stuff well. It is only small though. I have an axminster oscillating belt sander that is pretty much a linisher it's great. I have seen some knifemakers make up their own systems with long belts and movable...

In short, perfectly accurate I put the joint to where I want it and mark both sides with one line. Do one side on the tight setting, the other on the loose setting. Or if it is a mega critical alignment for some reason, do one central one on the tight setting both sides and all others on loose...

I have a DF 700. The cross stop is very useful for long tables and stuff. However it is in my opinion criminally under engineered for the money, it works fine but will wobble itself loose at the dovetail clamp thing that holds it on at the drop of a hat. The trim stop is ok for skinny joints on...

I like a "universal" one for plywood in my track saw. It might be 24 teeth something like that, 48 teeth will likely burn. I get the Trend ones off ebay 3 at a time. Ollie

I personally wouldn't use a 20mm router bit for a 20mm hole. Because a router bit spins so fast unlike a drill, it will struggle to clear the chips and burn as a result, prematurely blunting the cutter, smoking and making a black finish inside the hole. Either buy a really nice sharp 20mm spur...

Looks ok. An important thing about fitting the weights is not only the width inside the box but also the height of the pocket (unless you want to cut the weights into bits ) . By this, I mean both the height from the cill of the bottom cut and the total height of the hole itself, I have had to...

Check the brushes (assuming it's not brushless) this can cause slow starting and getting up to speed. If it is brushes it's a cheap fix. Ollie

Tuffsaws are great. Ollie
