Hey folks, I built a 8m x 5m steel to serve as a new garage, its build from 40mm box iron and coated aluminium sheeting. I have been adding 18mm OSB onto the the internal frame, secured to the box iron with lots of hex self-tapping screws and washers. Looking at the OSB, it is sold classed as...

I am cutting 1/2 and 3/4" OSB to put internal walls on my steel shed. My Dad had given me a cordless mini saw from lidl, but it seems to be pretty poor. Doesn't cut straight and the blade sticks often Looking for a recommendation for something better, for occasional use, something neat...

Hi Folks, We spent a nice bit of money on an solid wood kitchen table about 8 or 9 years ago, probably €1500 or €2000. To make a long story short the leg fell off. The leg is attached to the table by way of some 7.5 x 70mm bolts and 10 x 24 mm type-d wood insert nuts. On closer inspection, I...
