Hello Some updates… I went and brought some bolt cutters, and a new solid heavy crowbar, and this is my new plan that seems to be working… but have questions. I am prying a gap in the pallets, cutting the nails where it won’t pry apart fully. I am then knocking the nails through using nail...

I have no idea what this pallet is made with, but it has taken nearly 3 days to dismantle… so far… the nails are like screws… the heads are deep into the wood, and somehow bent heads locking it all together. I have used… with no luck… 1ft pry bar 2ft crow bar 2 meter bar Blocks of wood under...

Hello I have a jigsaw, I don’t have a Reciprocating saw… I don’t think I will ever really need one either… I have a jigsaw, with metal bits, and this is what I use currently to cut through nails… anyway, I have gotten ahold of some pallets, with the option to get another 50+ whenever I want...

Saxton blades are only a 10mins drive from where my medical appointment is tomorrow, so I will go in and ask I think. I assume they are a store like Toolstation, go to desk, ask and order they go get item as I pay? I am sure that’s what I read but can’t be more than 75%sure. Thank you for your help

Err… one thing I forgot to check and unknown if I need to worry, what size hole in the middle should I need to get? I am not sure on the name, maybe arbour, or a bore… (Sorry, pain, tiredness, medication, hot and autism all playing a role here, sorry for any confusion, I have confused...

The 80t blade is in my basket. I will then have a 40t blade (just resharpen?) and 80t. Thank you New question regarding same saw… Images show the online listing pictures and after my work cleaning, fixing bits, and making the saw operational once again. Although not yet turned it on...

I knew it wouldn’t be think, but thin as kitchen foil… My original idea was to reuse old cans, cut them down to say 4”x6” then glue it down to the bench top… I might try this idea on some scrap osb I have. What are your views and advice so I can get a metallic finish worktop?

Okay, so out of the following blades, what do you recommend? https://www.saxtonblades.co.uk/product/tct-circular-blade-255mm-x-100t/ https://www.saxtonblades.co.uk/product/tct-circular-blade-255mm-at80t-evolution/...

Hello I am needing or wanting to put a new work surface on my workbench, I currently have an osb work top, but I wish to have an aluminium/steel type work top. I am thinking of using something like this...

Hello I have something called Aphantasia, I can’t visualise images in my head, but I know what I want. I am after a chair or sofa, that will be extra comfy so I can enjoy the outside once again. Here is my first sketch of roughly what I am after. Should I just do butt joints, or mortise...

Lucky I have everything I need for the saw, except a riveting blade, and a mitre assembly. It did come with a blade, but the saw hasn’t been used for years, and the blade is rusty and I think needs replacing before any usages take place. I might be able to clean it up, and resharpen the teeth.

Hello Sorry, forgot the make and model, I brought this last week second hand, and other than a little tic, it seems a much better built saw than my current one, which is small, and needs bits added to it as many accessories are the worst quality going. Example, the fence (stock) easily twists...

Hello, My budget isn’t big, so I am after a cheap 10” circular saw blade for a table saw. Do I look for a blade with as many teeth? What are the pro and cons I need to look out for? Also, my saw is missing the riving knife, are they universal or do I need one just for my saw brand and...

Hello, yeah a standard socket I am happy to replace/fix. The socket in question is in the kitchen, it is a socket/switch for my electric (I think it was induction for a few days) hob as we had to half upgrade our kitchen to make it safe for me to cook, we had a temporary hob for a few days as...

Exactly my thought, I am not allowed to change over this socket as I need to be a registered electrician. We have had maybe 10 electricians over the past few years who have seen and unscrewed this socket and they have not replaced the screws. I keep seeing this socket and keep thinking is this...

Hello Just a random post, not sure if it’s the correct place or not. So I am repairing some bits and bobs, and I have got items working and running again, like soldering broken wires from a battery compartment to the board controlling whatever the item I am repairing. So, to do this, I am...

I have these already on my door… maybe they need a bit of a clean and oil??

Typical… the man in the shop either lied to me or didn’t have a clue on what I was asking him…

okay, so I have to keep a towel or something like that to be kept behind my door to keep my door closed, acting like a spring. Only problem I have no idea how it works. I have seen how they are installed but surely they are meant to compress so the momentum will transfer back into my door. I...

I like green too, just wanted everything to be a natural wood colour inside. Most definitely… such a pain removing it… I have just under 50% left to go, but putting it off… as it’s not clean a thing… and I like clean.
