The drive shaft has gone on mine, but motor is great. Does anyone have a link to a flexi shaft that would fit please? Got one from Amazon, and it's too small Thanks EDIT - 'too small' as in diameter at screw in connection

Not painted doors and skirting for many years , and want to find the best low odour paint possible (other half has very sensitive disposition to almost any paint, let alone a 'gloss' or similar) Can anyone give me a recommendation for the best low odour indoor wood paint please? Thanks in...

I bought this 4v driver set directly from Ryobi the other week when when it was at a good price. https://uk.ryobitools.eu/diy-power-tools/drilling-and-screwdriving/screwdrivers/ergo/ergo/ I bought the offset head, which was extra - but didnt buy the 90degree head as it (to me anyway), shows...

I'm laying a course 3 bricks high x approx 10f long. Not retaining much at all, just for decoration and hold in a bit of earth/raised garden of maybe 12" width. I don't have a cement mixer and just mixing the 'footings' will probably require 3 of the big garden waste tubs of concrete , which I...

I live in a mid-terrace house .The neighbours had a flat roofed loft conversion built a few years ago on the back of the house. They have a gutter and downpipe on the front of the conversion (ie widow side, away from apex) I noticed a while back that the rainfall on their loft roof wasn't...

Does anyone use the Ryobi rotary tool and use Dremmel accessories? As shown here https://uk.ryobitools.eu/diy-power-tools/multi-tools/rotary-tools/r18rt/r18rt-0/ Would you happen to know if this fits with it...

I dont quite know the name of the bit of the inside window upper sill/surround at the top , but I am referring to that part. (ie NOT the window frame) I have a wide downstairs window (1760mm) that has 2 opening windows either side and a central (equal part) that doesn't open. So, in short, it...

I found some dirty old chunks of wood in the garage from years ago and decided to use a wheel on a grinder to take them down and to try to make make a bowl. Reasonably happy with it (still a bit of fine sanding to be done), and now think I might knock a few up and let my mate sell them on Etsy...

I have a very heavy iron gate that I want to hang at the end of the entrance to the back garden - the fixing point would be the end of a brick wall. When I look for 12mm pins I get things like this come up...

I was hoping to pick some up from somewhere or other for next to nothing (a mate, a scrap yard, etc), but the search isn't successful so far- so I might have to resort to buying from a proper steel stockist. It would be somewhere in the region of 500mm x 800mm and I am guessing 3mm would be...

https://www.lidl.co.uk/p/diy-tools/parkside-inverter-welder/p53632 I know it's cheap and you get what you pay for most of the time, but with a 3 year money back guarantee , I thought it was worth a go (plus, I had a £10 voucher as I use the lidl phone app) Last time I welded with a stick was...

Hi - pretty new to woodwork and just wondered where you get the foam boards that I see people use on YouTube to put on your work bench to cut on (and into)? I've found a couple of products on Amazon but they are more expensive than the workmate I bought second hand, and bearing in mind they get...

Just bought a cheap B&D workmate pro and looked at making a few little tweaks to it . such as a shelf at the bottom. Looked on YouTube and there's quite a few bits and pieces that could be modified to make it even more useful. However, in looking at those videos I saw a few people putting a...

Hi all - I want to make this wood surround (my flat roof for bathroom) ready for painting. I cant afford to replace the wood and just want to repair as far as possible. Question - what wood filler is 'best' for such a job or are there alternatives that I dont know of? And how would I keep...

I'm interested in making a few things that would need a loom. I looked at the prices and they are a bit pricey for me. They dont look that hard to build but I cant seem to find any plans or instructions anywhere on-line that are detailed enough to work from. Does anyone have a link to anything...

Priced up timber to build myself a 3650x3650 shed and it's a crazy price. Had a look at these metal ones and something of a similar size is only in the £hundreds. I want to use it as storage and workshop with mains electric in there. I dont know anyone with a metal shed, but bearing in mind...

Although our windows are pretty old (25 years maybe) they very nice cosmetically but have just started to lose their seal and have moisture in between the two panels. It's unsightly ,and I guess that means they are not as efficient at keeping the cold out and the heat in? I hear they can re-do...

Ive got a Japanese import vehicle and am struggling to find the exhaust for it. It's only the back part. If I can't source one, do you think a garage could make/adapt the part?

Hi all - had a van for almost a year and previous owner had mentioned that because van wasn't in constant use, the battery had gone flat and AA replaced with a new one not long before I bought it. Never thought much about it really. So,quality Bosch battery 1 year old in there.(70aH) Just been...

Ok- this is unrelated to the other post I did about a w/m tripping a switch (in fact this problem has come about because of the other problem though - I'll explain.) My sons washer developed a problem last week and he brought all of his wet washing up that weighed a ton, and put it in...
