Similar issue in our own garage and house. Our electrician suggested to increase the rating/ampage of the main breaker in the house if we later get an issue of the garage tripping the house

Thanks. It is Celotex behind the boards with an additional membrane to minimise the interstitial condensation.

Hi. We have insulated our garage using 10mm plywood. Any advice on a suitable coating to improve durability, especially to any potential damp? Thank you

Thanks. Did you paint straight on to the OSB... What paint did you use please?

Thanks. Do you have a link for French cleats please? Then I know exactly what you're recommending.

Hi. Planning to insulate our new garage. We need to decide between OSB or plywood for the panels. Which to go for? The OSB is only slightly cheaper. I'm thinking the OSB will give a rather 'busy' look and be distracting in a workshop space, and be more difficult to paint if I later opt for...

The human eye is very good at judging fractions of lengths. So if you know the total length (or diameter if a circle), and can judge a fraction of this total, you can come to a very reasonable estimate of the part length. I use this all the time at work down the microscope.

Thanks. The older machine is slightly more powerful 850W compared to 750W

Hi. Both bandsaws available second hand for similar price, and seemingly in good condition. Which one to go for? The older one is bigger, but quite a bit older, and seems to have the traditional style blade guides, the newer one has the ceramic style which seem to get mixed reviews. Thanks

Hi. Any views on this, currently reduced by £50 from axminster, please? I could hold out for something equivalent second hand, my usual preference, but this is tempting to avoid the hassle of transportation, etc. I will be mainly woodturning, but seem to be coming across so many uses of a band...

Hi. Please could I have opinions on the Charnwood W796 dust extraction unit. I will be mainly doing woodturning and therefore sanding, so perhaps this overkill for my workshop? But a reasonably priced second hand one has come up. Thanks

I am thinking about buying a band saw. Is this particular model a good one. I can see that one has come up second hand close time where I live

Hi. Anyone tried this type of system for flooring for a garage workshop? Or any other recommendations? Thanks https://duramat.co.uk/product/duratile-graphite-grey/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6dfT9raa_AIVTtPtCh3eNwK2EAQYAyABEgKS0fD_BwE

Hi. I came across this Gloforce Eyelight plus as an option for a magnetic light. Anyone familiar with this? Or any other recommendation?

Hi. I recently acquired a Tormek Supergrind 1200. I have separately acquired a BGM-100 upgrade kit. I now have 2 options in order to reposition the universal support to a horizontal position which allows for sharpening away from the wheel turning direction which I understand is better. (At the...

Thanks. I've ordered a second hand copy with dvd

Hi. Does anyone have experience of the Robert Sorby Sovereign Ultima Hollowing System, please? I am looking at a buying a hollowing tool. This seems to be a good versatile option and perhaps worth the outlay? Thanks

Hi. Anyone had any experience of using the Wolverine system with Vari-grind attachment for sharpening bowl gouges? How does it compare to the Tormek jigs?

Reading this old chat. Has anyone used the record WG200? Thinking about this as a budget option with a wolverine jig. Any thoughts?

Sounds like plenty if options. I think I need a specific jig for bowl jigs eg tormek svd-186. Not sure if the various jigs can be used regardless of the make if grinder? Not sure what is the sorry equivalent.
