Or part of it as an office desk,

Not a 100% sure on what you are describing but have thought about placing it on a timber bearer fixed to the studs, with the top fixed to the wall.

Looks like a home made Sextant, for sea navigation, but possibly a rudimentary roofing Square

I also have the Sip 12" 01486 Bandsaw, and recently broke the handle after moving house. Looking around the Record BS300E 12" bandsaw is the same and the upgrade fence for that is the Record Power Sabre Bandsaw Fence Upgrade Kit 88888 from £110 - £150 or the Kreg KMS7200 Precision Bandsaw Fence...

All extensions require building regs if it is going to form part of the main dwelling and is more than a simple lean-to building also a timber framed structure extension will have different specifications than brick or block.

Have you tried doing a google image search to see if the part exists for another machine that might fit?

Hi John and welcome, that's impressive. A quick question relating to battery storage, I am with Octopus Energy. With their EV smart charging tariff of peak electricity is 7p per KH. I was wondering could this be hooked up to a battery storage system and provide cheap electricity during peak...

Very nice.

Recently made a work bench and some shelves for workshop. I still have some work to do.

You should be able to find someone to make a new part for you, I would reach out to people like Alec, Or a local blacksmith toolmaker. YouTube link https://www.youtube.com/@AlecSteele/videos Their instagram link is https://www.instagram.com/alecsteele/

I bought a bunch of stuff for my workshop some years ago, thinking I couldn't get them here. That was mainly due to lack of TV advertisements in the UK for workshop tools. I then discovered after visiting a tool show down south that Trend did the same stuff. Price was comparable if you add the...

I did this a lot at one of my first jobs in an engineering tool making workshop back in the 80s. It's better if you have a variable speed grinder/water wheel so as not to over heat the metal, it's the same for chisels. Although the cost for these are between 3 - 6+ times the price.

Very nice, like the reclaimed tiles, 👍
