Another vote for ACF-50 WD40 is not that good when compared to many newer products on the market

Well this could be just I need. We have a 1920's solid brick walled detached house, we've always had to be a bit careful with getting mould spots on the interior of the exterior walls in the bedrooms. Having fitted Honeywells Evo Home central heating controls, and so the radiators are on much...

In the motor trade 2 pack stuff is used a lot, and generally its the hardener that goes 'stale'. I've used a bit of filler from a tin was started years ago, but with fresh hardener it still works well.

Welcome to the forum David I have a large shed / workshop planned, but not started yet, so currently I'm doing all my 'shedding stuff' in my single car garage, but I ought to get on with it soon as my old car is now without a home until that happens. But I've recently priced up the cost of...

My Grandfathers Diston panel saw - probably dates back to soon after the second world war when he moved back to Mablethorpe from Coventry and started his building business again. Also, a marking gauge that I bought as a 16 year old. Several years later my Dad was round helping me with jobs on my...

We had a very convincing scam attempt at work a few weeks back, a call from the bank about some suspicious attempted withdrawals. The thing is they had some very accurate and recent information on our business account activity and I was fully drawn in for a while, it was only when they were...

Recently I've had a couple of cars where the sealant cracks between panel joints, so a good looks over the outside of the roof and inspect any sealant (which will be painted over) for damage

The problem with some customers is that they want to screw the price down. I have this a lot as a self employed mechanic, but now it's a case of 'these are my standards, that is what I work to, if I'm too expensive for you other places are available that will fit cheap parts, but in the long run...

In the 80's and 90's I was an AA patrol. I can remember one night going to a chap near to East Mids Airport, I can't remember the problem but it wasn't something I could repair. The member had Relay membership but we couldn't get a recovery truck to him for quite a while, so after a bit of...

And please don't forget ear defenders as well as good quality face mask. When I first used my router I realised why ear defenders are a good idea, pardon,

Series 1 is still available on All 4 as well

I was looking at this & the similar Charnwood one a couple of weeks back, then saw a Metabo one similar spec but will do slightly wider boards for less money on Amazon. So that’s that I went for. Been pleased with it so far.

I always say that since I got married, I only have to remember 2 dates as my wife remembers all the others, which having sizable families is really helpful. My 'Dearly Beloveds' birthday, & our wedding anniversary, even with just those 2 I struggle

Looks lovely. I've yet to do any dovetails, I hope mine come out as well as those. If they do I'll be very happy

This thread is so inspiring. I've been spannering in the motor trade since I was 18. 41 later and I'm planning to do less spannering and more woodworking. I'm inspired that I can look forward many years of creating sawdust & chips, and hopefully some nice things to show for my efforts.

Perhaps as a starting point, you could find if there's a 'Men's Shed' group nearby. It won't solve your space problem, but could help you get started, meet people in a similar situation, and who knows, maybe find someone who will share space / rental costs with you. Good Luck

Living in a slightly rambling 1920’s house with solid walls, our insulation options are a bit limited. I am planning to put some internal insulation on the exterior walls as & when time / redecorating wife allows. The loft is already well insulated. But heating is always going to be our main...

When I helped out at a joiners shop during my school holidays, one of the chaps there told me that if I went into carpentry & joinery as a job, & still had all my fingers when I finished, I’d either been very careful or very lucky. That warning rings in my ears every time I go near a machine...

Only just discovered this show thanks to this thread. So I've gone back and I am now half through watching the first series, it does make pleasant viewing. I would never want to be under that sort of time pressure, it would take a lot of the pleasure out of it for me, but understand the need to...
