    Buying a machine on eBay sight unseen with pallet delivery

    This is utter nonsense. I don’t know why people on here are saying this stuff. It’s 100% normal to pull out of a sale. Refund the sellers fees if that makes things easier, but there is 0 obligation - it’s eBay, not a court of law. And if an item costs £1000 then even more so. Seller must...

    Erbauer vs parkside

    I was up for doing that 1st time round, but found the ts55 goes for about £300 second hand and the track £100. clamps etc on top and it’s getting towards £500 for a second hand set! Significantly more than I spent!

    Erbauer vs parkside

    I currently own an erbauer track saw. I don’t love it. It’s a bit plasticky and feels cheap. It was cheap at £150. I had an issue with it (Blade got stuck) and they fixed it/sent it back to me. I now also have a boxed up parkside saw. I intend to sell one of them, but which one? Anyone used...

    Shed floor advice

    This seems to be a common request, but few of the threads have anything too conclusive, so here we go again: Ive just finished my new shed and want to cover the floor (caberfloor on base frame with 100mm insulation in the frame). I want to cover the floor in something rubber. Soft underfoot but...

    Confession. I have a Parkside problem!

    Looks good. I like April Wilkerson. She taught me how to use sketchup. Good to see Tim and Al together too.

    Confession. I have a Parkside problem!

    The way to know is to look at the back of the manual for the tool. This is the parkside PTK 2000 E3 (I think) and the manual is here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1624548/Parkside-Ptk-2000-E3.html?page=18#manual at the back it lists the service centre for the tool (best guess is that’s...

    Sanders advice

    My first time ever (making anything!). Make me think I should e started with a box! This is what happened. Need practice on curves!

    Sanders advice

    Jigs! Yeah. That’s what I need to do. you’re totally right. The parkside can lie flat and should be very easy to jig-up. Same with the portable triton actually. I think even I could manage a flat table extension for it. Omg.. I can see it. 2 upside down boxes. One big one with a hole in the...

    Sanders advice

    Agreed. The tiny shelf on the portable one doesn’t look too supportive for longer pieces. I’m worried the weight would throw me off. But it’s half the price! And after ‘the’ Peter Millard has thrown in the belt-sanding curve ball.. I’m tempted to save money but trying out the portable. If I can...

    Sanders advice

    Thanks so much. I was totally going to do the relief cuts on the straight, so that helps a lot! I’ll probably put a curve of some sort on the right hand side (the top) but it’s less important so I will just free hand it after wards.

    Sanders advice

    Thanks so much for the advice. I’m surprised nobody has mentioned that in any of the reviews I’ve seen. I assumed the belt attachment had a plate in it.. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention, but it seems pretty crucial. This is what it’s for (hope you can see the lines): I’m cutting this today...

    Sanders advice

    I currently own: Wilko detail sander Parkside belt sander I don’t love either of them. I got the parkside because it was bench mountable (comes with the clamps etc). And it does the job, but it doesn’t have a table or fence and it’s ridiculously loud. I could still return it to Lidl, but for...

    Confession. I have a Parkside problem!

    Bandsaw first: I don’t know how useful this will be as I’ve never owned or used a bandsaw before in my life, but here goes: The bad 1. It’s flimsy. I’m glad it comes with a 3 year warranty because I’m pretty sure I’ll end up snapping something off eventually. 2. It’s hard to set up because of...

    Won't somebody think of "young people"? (Edit: and No, older people aren't "to blame")

    I don’t like the constant critique of ‘influencers’ while simultaneously championing ‘production’. There seems to be something missing here: The older generation have created a world is mass production and mass consumption. To sustain it they’ve created a sophisticated advertising and...

    Won't somebody think of "young people"? (Edit: and No, older people aren't "to blame")

    If you are referring to Edward colston a statue in bristol I can assure you nobody thought he was the sole reason for slavery. Also the crowd was made up of a large range of ages - lots of over 40s. Bristolians understand that he was just one slave trader, but he’s the one who built bristol...
