Just wondering as I've just come back from an Open Day at DNV-GL where they blow up things. The last and very spectacular demonstration was of an explosion of a relatively small amount of propane gas in a confined space. Just like you might get if you stored your cylinder inside your shed or garage....

Just bought a new machine but it has 120mm dust extraction outlets and all my stuff is 100mm. Struggling to find an adapter. Any suggestions ?

Hi Jon

Can I have first refusal please ?

The Milwaukee 18v stuff is good. The torque on the drill is enough to break your wrist if the bit jams in the wood.

But the drill chuck on the Milwaukee is useless. Been through two of them. It's the hammer action that screws them up and makes them very difficult to undo.

Delais For panels, buy yourself a saw and track like the festool TS55 or similar from other makers. Then get a sheet of Kingspan, stick it on the floor and cut your boards on top of that. Focus on using the table saw to do your cross cuts but IMO I use a cross-cut mitre saw for accurate cuts rather ...

Jason...good luck with your sale. Can I ask you for a little help, though? I'm trying to find out what the height of the table is above the floor. I'm taking delivery of a 3-phase one soon but wanted to make sure that any surrounding benches etc are the same height so I don't get any conflict when r...

Until someone more knowledgable than I comes along, have you Googled Youtube for 'ring fence' ? Lots of videos there

I'd be inclined to get most of the surface stuff off using a cabinet scraper first. You need to have all of it looking basically the same colour/shade before rewaxing or finishing otherwise you will see different colours and shades.

TBH I'd at least put a coat of primer on ASAP.

Whereabouts are you located ?

Warwick....this thread is 8 years old! Since then Festool have come out with the bigger brother of the original Domino specifically aimed at windows and doors.

The small Festool Domino doesn't cut it.

Hi guys Just wondering how you'd go about making these elliptical mouldings in the top windows? I'm guessing that they are plant-ons. Or buy them in from somewhere but where ? https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4653/28294849379_1c605a3d49_c.jpg Also interested in how you'd approach the cornicing. It has...

If anyone knows of a quicker way to get absolutely everything covered in paint then I'd love to know !

Rule 1 - make sure all your connections are tight. Especially the high pressure ones.

I'm now in a position to answer this ! I bought the first airless sprayer from Local Tool Supplies or LTS in Blackburn. On delivery, unable to prime it.

I'm new to this spraying malarkey. Bought an airless sprayer but it didn't work and after a long telephone discussion with the support guy, the conclusion was that some of the packaging had got stuck inside it due to open connections etc. So got a replacement but having problems with this one as wel...

Your apprenticeship scheme is brilliant. It's great to come across such an enlightened company. You might also like to post over on ukworkshop.co.uk and thewoodhaven2.co.uk.

All the best with your scheme

Surely a side load from hydrostatic pressure is still a load. Same as a load bearing joist.

Not a bad little earner. Pulling an untaxed £735 out of the business. Plus possibly the 20% VAT claimed back.

Spotted this new Festool XL for sale on eBay. I dunno. Maybe it's me but it smells iffy. If you look at other items the seller has sold in the past, there seems to be an awful lot of 'new' power tools. In addition, I asked three questions... 1) Is the receipt available? Answer....'the receipt is sta...

All good points. In an ideal world I'd have got them to remake them. But I had builders itching to continue with the renovation and the delay would have made things very difficult.

Yup. Spot on. They removed the short wagtails by removing the parting bead and drilling through the groove at the top where it was sitting. Bit Hit'nMiss but eventually they managed to drill through all the wagtails and they were pulled out via the pockets. The sloppy upper sashes...forgot to mentio...

Oh, alright. They give you a free impact bit. Just don't try and use these useless screws with an impact driver as they will shear off at the drop of a hat. Absolute rubbish.
