Yeah, didn't look, but the ingredients are probably bleach based. Didn't require washing off and sweeping though, it was literally spray and leave, nice and easy. Cheers

Hi peeps, I've been meaning to clean the patio, over the winter is has gone a tad green with some moss and mould etc. Its Indian sandstone type paving slabs, generally grey. Its quite a large area about 18m x 3m so about 54sqm After googling a bit, I found this, Spear and Jackson Spray and Leave...

We need to see photos..... :)(y) But the mantra is, and always will be, you can never have enough sheds or a large enough shed. My old house had a small shed 10'x8' ish. My new house has a garage 18'x9 'ish, plus I have a small garden shed 6'x4', plus a cabin (12'x9') and its still not enough...

Hmm, looks like they will not upload, soz....

See attached a couple of useful docs giving good basic info on structural issues. New to this site, so hopefully they will upload ok, one is a MS Word doc, with a basic structural checklist showing what sort of things to look for. The 2nd is a MS powerpoint presentation giving basic info. NB: I...

I have log cabins, the timbers are much thicker (and therefore heavier) than a standard shed, eg: shiplap boards, etc. So the bases have to be able to take the weight. As suggested above I'd look at possibly jacking it up, and installing packers, if the base is ok, or compressing the whole...

[sigh] Not everyone has access to or the budget for the "best" lights, so we have to make do with cheap alternatives. For me, the two lights I bought do the job. They improve on the lighting I already had, they are good value, they are flexible, can be moved, etc and light the space in the way I...

Dictionary: (Definitions from Oxford Languages) light bulb noun a device used to convert electricity into light, consisting of a source of illumination (e.g. an electric filament or one or more LEDs) enclosed within a transparent or translucent shell, typically having a rounded shape and...

Hi, yep sorry should have added dimensions. Tertial lamp has an arm length of 800mm, with joint in the middle, so folds roughly in half at 400mm. The shade diameter is 170mm. Light can be rotated in pretty much any direction. The Navlinge light is 360mm long max, and can be bent / rotated to...

Hi, I have just installed two task lights from Ikea and I would highly recommend them. In my garage / workshop I had one main central ceiling light. I initially change this to two, one at each end of the garage. But I found that sometimes when working at my benches, the work area was in shadow...

Thanx for all the advice guys, cheers. (y)

Oh ok, why, are keyless not as good? I'm new to pillar drills.... As above, why? I thought keyless was easier to use, I would be genuinely interested to know what experienced folks think, as this is new to me. My only experience is with (many) hand drills, and keyless is far quicker and easier...

Thanx, still not sure what MT2 actually is though?

Lol, yep we don't hang about mate.... (y)(y)(y)

It should not get in the way, I'm talking about the work stand that the pillar drill sits on, so its below the pillar drill stand (base plate), which itself is below the moveable drilling table holder. Sorry think I did not explain it well. So when drilling the sawdust falls off the drilling...

I have a few spare key chucks, from drills I've had over the years, plus this pillar drill has a little chuck key holder on the side of the machine, good idea actually, so you don't lose it. But, if I go keyless chuck I won't need the key anyway... :) (y)

Yes, why?

Hi, so my pillar drill sits on a metal stand, the stand has a ply top. When I use the pillar drill all the sawdust goes everywhere! Is it worth fitting a small border around the edge of my work stand, to catch most of the sawdust, so it does not go all over the floor? I was thinking just screws...

Cheers, don't know what an MT2 is though? The instructions with the Scheppach says it has a B16 chuck adaptor, does not mention MT2? When I built the pillar drill out of the box (last week) the keyed chuck just pushed onto the spindle and then gently tapped home. I assume I just knock the old...

Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a quick search but could not find this specific question? Question: My Pillar drill (Scheppach DP16SL) has a chuck (with chuck key) with apparently a B16 chuck adaptor., tapered? It just pushed on when setting up the pillar drill, no screwing or...
