Definitely not Zebrano.

Thanks, Steve. That helped (once I found the Mirka spanner) and used the right screw bit

Anyone know how to access the bolt holding it on ? I've taken the pad off but it's still occluded by the actual exhaust.

TIA

Excellent repair. indeed. I always used to remove the bottom 1/2" of the parting bead (and make good in the cill) as it forms a water trap.

Thx Doug. I'm a lazy sod...didn't think of scrolling down.

Your friend has made a very nice job of the car.

My recommendation is shotgun stock oil, l use it on my fly boxes, this one is around 10 years old.

Great suggestion, thanks.

A friend of mine renovating his third old crock is at the point where he's got the dashboard made from American Walnut and would like recommendations for a satin finish. Needs to be waterproof as it's open-top. Here's some photos of the car. I'm impressed with his woodworking as there are some awkwa...

We already have these in place. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50378240616_6466961980_b.jpg (Bit of nifty work turning one of them upside down otherwise we'd have needed a stepladder to open the top one!) We have this to box in somehow. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50377542453_530c1ae0c6...

This is the gist..

This looks underpowered for any genuine use, I question 1.5kW won't cut it! A decent uncompromising switch, for example, the DeWalt 625 is 2kW, so you can see that this machine is probably going to battle to get anything besides the lightest instruments turning up to speed. Wellbeing is a major fac...

definitely me too changed for a shallow shave and the cutting edge is the correct far up and I do kinda cut it at a point, this aides yet at the same time not content with it, additionally I have a turned inward one and this is truly doing my head in, it just dives in or shaves nothing on an altern...

Anyone else get that email from Felder ?

thatsnotafestool

That's very generous of him, Jas. Pity you don't use hand tools!

Any good ? Hafele. 30kg. https://www.regalraum.com/en/bigfix-flo ... ckets.html

Buy a plaster one from Stephenson's of Norwich. Paint it brown and say you made it.

thatsnotafestool

Quality work, mate.

thatsnotafestool

Cool video, Jas. Love the dedicated use of PPE.

Same model as the Silverline. Noisy and nasty. Out of China, built down to a price. But if you want something that is portable then it will do.

thatsnotafestool

These Chinese saws :o I'm hacked off with Festool because if you don't register your item within x days then your warranty is crap. My supplier told me he had and I trusted him. More fool me. Still can't understand why Festool are so anally retentive though. After all, you have the invoice as to whe...

British Hardwoods ?

Sorry Neil...missed the 22mm bit ! Mine was 18mm. They're top of my sh*t pile though and I cancelled my account since they really left me in the brown stuff. Latham's ?

thatsnotafestool

Guess it depends on the model. Went quick enough for me doing the workshop.

thatsnotafestool

I had a Wagner to spray my workshop. Bloody brilliant.

Or you could also speak to Ian at Tuffsaws.

Those reindeer are cute. Just like Jas

So why can't you just divide the built in so one door opens up to the plumbing for access (if needed) and the others open to your storage. If I did that then the only things I could store in that area were upright things like brooms etc. We need shelves. Lots of 'em ! Or knock a hole in the wall th...

If you want a completely invisible fixing system then Lamello have the Invis system, not cheap though. I’ve used it and it works brilliantly, the main drawback is the accuracy needed in fitting them, they are best used with a cnc machine but I’ve used them on an oak unit and got them to work. Other...

Thanks guys...food for thought although I think the local rep might suss what I was up to.

No...I'd prefer a hidden jointing system.

I need to build in a cupboard into this space. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50108005462_5a9b0614a6_b.jpg But the drawback is all the plumbing to the right and I need to have the ability to get to that if I need to. I know that I could simply get a standalone cupboard but as we're really short...

Hi Pinelope

Whereabouts in Cumbria are you ? I'm on the border with Northumberland.

Sorted. Well, faulty component identified...the electronic brake module. Felder want £420 + VAT + delivery aus Osterreich so I don't think so. It works perfectly well without it. Just have to remember to wait.

I have a call out to the module manufacturer..they list it for 50 Euro.

I thicknessed one piece of wood this morning. Turned it off. Noticed that there still remained a buzzing sound coming from the P/T. Didn't think any more of it. Changed tables out of thicknesser mode, fitted the rip fence etc ...changed the selector switch to table saw but it wouldn't fire up. Check...

Why would you ever want to put shellac over linseed oil ? However, if you do want to carry on using linseed oil in future then just load your brush once and use it to cover the whole thing. Linseed oil HAS to be put on thinly. And even that is too thick. You also probably didn't let it dry enough be...

As a keen student of locks, I would add that some Euro cylinder locks with thumb turns are susceptible to being bypassed with a wire, and consequently do not offer very much security.

That's why you need one circuit in your mains consumer unit not being fed from an RCD

Really interesting post, thanks, Leveller...I learned an awful lot and am now looking at my joints with a different perspective !

If the beds on whichever one you go for are too short then it's an easy job to add extensions. Especially if you have holes already in the end of the outfeed table https://live.staticflickr.com/840/28320224497_aaa3c6d6b2_b.jpg This just clips over the top https://live.staticflickr.com/842/4228520339...

Ollie, although they are separate, the two tables do move up together as they are linked. You use two hands on the lifting levers.. If you do go down the Hammer route, make sure you get the digital dial for the thicknesser. Re not gripping wood...OK as long as I remember to spray with Woodslide both...
