Yup, but it looks like Class E is rated for higher pressures. Checked out other retailers, most are stupid on delivery charges though. Anyone know where i could get CL-E or CL-7 in Northern Ireland ? Closer to Dungannon the better...

Well now, i'm really desperate to post here my problem, since it has nothing to do with plumbing... :D Looking for a UK equivalent of Schedule40 ASTM pipe... I cant find PVC piping, let alone anything that resembles this. Specifically i'm out for 3/4" or 1" ID pipes with wall thickness of...

Manual XY table, not a cnc machine :D 1600 quid, holy ****...

Been looking for a very small milling table that is able to be moved in X and Y for small bits and pieces, crafting, modeling etc... Cant seem to find anything chinese/cheap/fleabay'ish... Not looking for big/heavy industrial type, because, well, big, heavy and industrial....And way...

Both are sound advices. Thanks. In case of Conex, what/how do i seal/leakproof it ? What compunds can i use to put on the base to glue/seal the metal piece to barrel itself ?

My main oil tank is leaky, decided to replace it with a 100L plastic drum. How does one connect copper pipe to plastic drum ? I cannot reach in to the bottom with any tools from inside to have a proper screw-in tap. Its a single piece mold with two threaded holes with caps at the top. Need to...

Hello gentlemen. So i have a walk-in shower and no bath. decided to improvise and build sort of japanese bath like thing to act as a bathtub/deep shower tray. I'm new to carpentry but i'll learn. Questions: 1. What (widely available) timber i should use ? Pine is probably not the best...

My landlord, being the way he is, is useless at fixing things so i have to DIY. Filter and connecting piping is leaking around filter and/or filter itself. I have ordered a new filter enclosure with 3/8 fittings. My question: how does one leakproof fittings on oil line ? Can i use...

Well, needed a small mitre saw quick, bought one off homebase, came with 14tpi blade. Too big. Need a blade of 24-32 tpi. Problem is i cant find one anywhere. Cant return the damned thing, because its been assembled and tried cutting once (which determined that need finer blade...)... So...

No i'm not. There was a hatch that crossed those 2 beams you see. No structural change has been made by widening the opening. Just so you know. I have worked in interior design ofice (albeit as technical draughtsman, not designer) to know when stupid is stupid... (aka unsafe)...

40", weighs in at about 15kg (30ish lbs). I'm getting some photos together as to what is where and how. Will post shortly... Update1: Pardon the mess, storage is not done yet, so this is at the moment bedroom-come-storage dump... The open wall/floor section looks like this, cut out a...

Need to find roof trusses under plasterboard, plaster and paint. Preferably without drilling loads of holes in the wall. Need to hang a tv in the loft (at an angle) and only fixing points possible are the trusses. Unless you come up with something better ? Ideas ?

Well, thats what i'm saying - included charger handles both types, so no problem there. NiMh will fit - there is the same form factor batteries of NiMh variety. Tomorrow will be trying the drill out properly for the first time, so we'll see how long 1.3Ah NiCd will last (building storage...

Well, i don't think i'll be punishing this drill too much so i thing i can get fair few years out of it. The, i have considered the NiCd situation (afaik they're being banned in UK from sometime this year, because of use of cadmium in them, hence the sale, probably). There's a NiMh left, which...

Sorted. Makita 18v 2speed. 8391D. Hammering (somewhat), screw driving, drilling. Two 1.3Ah batteries (Ni-Cd) + charger. 100 quid. b&q had them on sale, original price of something like 200 pounds. Torque'iest drill i found for 100 quid - 43Nm on 1st gear. Checked out batteries alone...

Well, after some deliberation i have decided not to go low end. My "i hate throwaways, love future proofing" side won again (blast you... that side...) :D So while i have been looking for anything decent sub £50 i came across Ryobi One Plus 2 speed 18v drill driver. Thought oooh cool, 2...

Hello people. First post, be gentle :D Moved house, lots of diy to do. And sainsbury's 5 quid drill+driver is definitely not gonna cut it... Charge three hours, dead in about 5 minutes of driving stuff into wood. Useless. So, here's my question - what do i get for 50 quid that acts as a...
