I mean no disrespect to anyone here, but rather than try things at random I would try to find out by measurement why the fuse is blowing. IMO the best way of doing that is by getting an electrician to take a look - if you don't have the knowledge or tools to do that of course.

Before you oil the rollers, feel and clean the track they run on. Whenever my saw feels rough it's because the track is covered in crud or dust. I never oil or lubricate the track or rollers and haven't in well over 30 years. The top rubber dust chute sometimes needs adjusting so waste is...

I see I could get a TXS from Screwfix. I've looked at one of the Bosch Flexclick 12v drivers but the nose seems quite fat. Getting into some cabinet corners looks harder even with the edge adaptor, it makes it a much longer package. So despite the brushless siren call and the higher speed for...

Well, it's finally happened. My old much loved CXS drill has finally died after many years. I'm not sure if it was the drop from the 3rd floor onto concrete that did it, but after it bounced over a low wall it fell spinning for another 60ft into a car park. Chuck nowhere to be found, shaft...

I answered your PM and still have one for sale if you're interested. Steve

Thanks for that.

Nice. Looks you've applied them to a new frame as I'd intended. Now it seems there's some marital dissension erm discussion about whether they BOTH want the panelling! :D I'd still like to see the panels if we go down even if they decide against it. Might be some other nice stuff in the barn...

This saw is in good condition, full working order, and has been little used at home since shortly after buying as I setup a full workshop elsewhere. There's some mild staining of the MDF table top. Still the original but designed to be replaceable. I'm looking for around £250, buyer collects...

Why is that? Perhaps for manufacturing but surely not for repair work in a home garage? I'm in the same boat but have separated nailers & blowdown from spraying. Nailers for non production work use very little air, spraying however needs substantial real-world delivery capacity - ignore the...

Oops - me too!

I considered the Incra fence but feel the orientation was backwards to what I was used to and projected much further into the workshop. I wanted a wider area of stock support. People have incorporated that fence into their workbench with a router which looks to be a very good option. giving the...

600mm Bessey KREs span more than 600mm. I used 20 of them recently on 615mm frames. Near their max though. Also not compact or lightweight, flippin' heavy in fact! But very strong, only suffering very minor bowing when fully torqued up. And as said they can sometimes be contrary when trying to...

Like Hornbeam I recently bought a complete Jessem table from wwworkshop. I've made many over the last nearly 50 years. Everything from a sheet of chipboard and 1/2in router with an oak batten for a fence, to a nice cabinet with a decent fence, and culminating in the Jessem table setup. I...

Thanks for the advice, it'll have to wait until I get an invite down there. Not sure where we stand at the moment, we would normally stay a few days but what with Covid etc who knows. I'll take some lights and a camera if I get a chance to inspect. Steve

Thought I'd just go and look at my bandsaw. Top wheel has the 3/8in blade with teeth overhung as normal, but bottom wheel:- a) is covered in aluminium swarf from abut 5 years ago and never properly cleaned off! b) has blade running just inside the tyre edge So since it cuts just fine, and...

Nice work there, prticularly like the linen folds. This panelling has been described as plain, only decoration is the beading. I wondered if it came out of a church or similar. Steve

Actually it's probably located nearer Custard than me. I'm awaiting an invitation to go and see and see the stately home he's bought. I wouldn't mind seeing his 50 acres of wood either! Yes indeed, photos are sorely needed. If I go down I'll get some decent ones. Steve

Yes the end stiles are full height, intermediate ones just the height between rails. The panels are big, ceiling height, and vary between 6-8ft wide. There's quite a few such assemblies in total, and one set of panels is damaged beyond repair needing the extra 30in to fit the room. Given the...

I've finished my last little task and decided to look into this oak panelling a friend is asking about. Turns out he's found some salvaged panelling and wonders if I could make a little more to match. He hasn't got any pictures as it's in stored in a barn currently. He says it's stained...

Thanks, makes sense. Steve
