Hello A few months ago, maybe early December, I went up to a store called Axminster as it’s easier to try and show what I need replacements for, but they weren’t really that helpful, and they refused to sell me a replacement power switch (as their replacement has a higher amp), even though I...

Yeah, that is what I was originally going to do, however I have a brand new light switch, with the 16mm back box and extension bits from last week as someone came to do work on my stairlift and we was going to see if he would change the light switch, but we did it ourselves and realised we had...

Not wanting any extension leads, I am just trying to clean up some of the wires, so keeping the other sockets free, I have 7 sockets with Alexa, mitre saw and drill press taking one each. My thinking was if I put these lights on a switch, it would free up and allow me to charge the spare...

As the nights are getting darker, and will be for a few months, I plan to do some work in my little workshop, where popper is only switched on when I am using the shop. I have a clear roof, so it allows as much daylight as possible, but we are in the UK, and darkness is something we have to...

I really need to get myself organised better. Nearly a month later… sorry… Here are some pictures of the 4 1/2 in front plane.

Hello Sorry I wanted to get the part I need, and show what I am after. I have attached a picture and yes it’s the long bit that goes to the latch and allows me to use my old key for my work area.

So, when we moved into the house back in 1998, not too long after we got new windows and doors - I think.. the front door was hollow, every time it rained the water left the door due to the same technique a toilet works. To get a new door, the house people would come out an fix it, but they...

I just can’t seem to find the 2 missing parts, they are either way too expensive, or out of stock, I check maybe 4-6 websites weekly to see if they have any new stock, but as said here, buying second hand over the cheap goods made today is the main factor. Should I buy a new no.4 plane and use...

so I know I am missing 2 parts on each plane, but is there anything else I have missed? I was half being stupid on my first post, so I do have a sharpening station, I use it to help restore chisels. I do have a knife sharpening station, and I do have wet stones. I do also have a belt sander...

so, a couple years ago I believe, I brought 2 no.4 planes that were missing bits and I was wanting to “upgrade” other bits (the handles). I brought 5 blades, 3 were on clearance/sale, 2 were 10x the price I paid for the planes combined each minimum. I think it was about 15 months ago I brought a...

My plan was to get these clamps https://amzn.eu/d/ijV94WK if they don’t sell or produce any handle replacements that’s fine, I will just keep on the way I am now until the broken one fully breaks so it will be unusable and unrepairable. It’s a shame you can’t buy the simple bits to tools, so...

I am not sure if what I am putting into a search engine is the correct term as I am not getting anything close to what I am after. I have some okay clamps cheap but do what I need them to. I think due to them being cheap, I have broken one of the handles but it’s useable as I have drilled and...

The drill driver is 100% usable in all torque settings as long as the job isn’t far too big. Example if I use it to get a rusted on truck wheel bolt, it would just vibrate the torque setting down. But if the torque is the same as the job, I have no problems. Hence the fix or leave, if I use...

I am never going to put a collar back on and put ones on our younger cats who have never worn one, you see my home is the last house in the city, they can’t build more houses this way, there is a load of trees and bushes next to my house, and some 12+ (complete guess) years ago I found one of my...

This is 100% what I need, however in USB-C but I can get adapters cheap, so should be buying that if I can’t find a USB-C version. Thank you These are a good shout, we do actually have these setup but I am after a strip that can go down the skirting boards. The ones we have are not the exact...

Hello I am trying to keep my posts shorter as when I have had my heavy pain killers medication, and tiredness I do over share… Actual post I brought some LED light strips, for the stairs at night so if you go down stairs you don’t fall over a cat. I do need to go and get a second one...

First thing, I have taken heavy painkillers, I am tired, and I am autistic, I may and often do blabber on. I will try hard not to. Okay. I have watched many YouTube videos about all aspects of the trades, I have even used, or seen people do in real life, but I have always wanted to know, when...

Okay, after some sleep, a clearer brain (no heavy medication- yet) so I always end up in a chatty state and I do end up talking about stuff that isn’t relevant. So I have cleaned up the post.

Really basic The torque setting on my drill driver is missing a leaf spring, so when using less torque for the job, (the drill sounds like an impact driver) it vibrates the torque to a lower setting. So do I replace the spring or not. I am starting to save up for a new drill driver. I am...

Hello I have at least 4 sets of LED light strips, that you can cut down and add lights with soldering or a kit. Each set is powered by their own battery supply, can I join all of the strips together, with either a bigger battery supply (going from AAA to > AA) or by adding the battery boxes...
