Sooo... Odd thread time :) I love plodding away in the garage, and also just like being a lazy bugger out there doing nothing. So i'm thinking of either making or grabbing a cheap chair off facebook. Where do you plonk your arse when you're being lazy?

ah poop. Gunna be too big in reality. to be honest it's probably overkill anyway.. I very rarely make things from anything over 45 x 95mm as I tend to frame with C16 timber. I don't want to buy something and regret not buying something bigger but perhaps it's worth just have a normal mitre...

went for the aquaproofer stuff (sorry the DIY store resident ol' boy trumped you) 2 coats down on one section, see how it holds up. Was damned cheap compared to Bitument paint too - think they've got their price wrong as it was like £12 for 5l

So, i'm planning the bench for my garage - I want it to last and don't really want to need to rip it out again any time soon. Last year I painted the interior with Sandtex masonry paint. It's looking nice, not flaking or anything daft however the bottom is going a touch yellow. I'd imagine...

ah simple enough, didn't know if it was central position or something like that. might not be the best choice then. bugger

One of these: https://www.uktoolcentre.co.uk/0601b19160c-gcm8sjl-professional-single-bevel-sliding-mitre-saw-110v.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpraIj-LU3gIVAbTtCh2Yhw1oEAQYASABEgK6-PD_BwE I'm looking at a Mitre saw (see previous thread) and considering one of these. It'll be this or the makita of...

haha yea I like the smell :) Well, i've got 3 plumbed in, all works well, pretty pleased with the lights, nice and bright and seem to fill the area well. I've put my junction boxes in to allow for the rest to be installed when I next get a chance. I've put the whole thing on a plug for now as...

Only Sticker say Reggiani, which is of course the brand. I can't find a model number though

Sorry, junction boxes. I was intending to mount each light onto a board - the board will have the light, and a block. The cable from the lights themselves is pretty short and I want to keep it as simple as possible once it's all ready to be drilled into the roof, so junction boxes should help...

Hi all, So, garage. Winter is closing in, and it's bloody cold. I'd like to use it more throughout winter - I have an insulated overall (it's like wearing a duvet!) but still, it's bloody cold out there. Tomorrow I'll be putting more lighting up after getting some help on the electrical...

All sorted. Mocked up the wiring on my bench and still alive and 4 lights working. Will hit the shops tomorrow for all the blocks. My mistake on wattage current bulbs are 18w, so each bank will be 36w. Now at the mo I have a twin Batton with 36w bulbs in. And that's it. So I'll go from that to...

Only 30w per light so nothing crazy don’t worry

Cheers, but where would I put the switch in that? The parallel circuit is ideal just want to confirm switch

hi all, now I’m sure this has been covered a million times but thought I’d ask again and ensure I’m doing the right thing. Ok, I’ve just got a job lot on 12 lights that I intend to use in my garage. Gunna do 4 rows of 2 and save the remaining four for our upcoming extension as the garage will...

how about this in comparison? https://www.axminster.co.uk/bosch-gcm-8-sjl-216mm-slide-mitre-saw-ax923086

Hi all, So, our house has old tile type cladding - it's crap! in the wind, some bits have fallen off and to be honest I'm not unhappy with the loss. one of the many projects we're looking at is replacing the double glazing (it's bloody old) we like grey frames. Now, with this in mind...

Oh, on the 5m wall, will be a door into the "washroom/Utility" (essentially so we can drive in, unload the dog and get shot of boots and mud etc) on the 4.07m wall will be a wall to the outside so we can come in and out from the garden to garage for normal gardening duties Main roller door is...

Hi all, So, the garage. We're currently planning an extension that will also include a change of layout for the garage. it'll go from 9m x 3m to the weird shape shown in the pic. So, I want to make the most of the space, the main area will need to allow for a car to be parked as and when...

nope, merely grabbed the wrong option - would definitely be needing 240. Now that's a decent option! good sizing potential and a cost saving. Now we're talking!

yeah lovely bit of kit but much more than i'd ever realistically need and that price is far above what I can justify to myself. at the moment, the LS0815FL looks the front runner, but that's mainly because I like a set and having another Makita item would feel consistant, but if there was a...
