Handy for cleaning up wood & also hot grinder particles that got blown onto a white works van :doh: thought I was far enough away & van is still perfect long after the incident.

Your not too far from me & if you need some help some time & some off cuts of plate to practice on, I can sort that out for you. Dan.

I like the Aspen fuel too. Using a normal 2 stroke mix seemed a bit smoky in the corner of the garden where I was cutting firewood up, but switching to the Aspen seemed to reduce it a lot & for my limited use the price is fine.

The Bilt Hamber Dynax s-50 is what you need. It coated the inside of my chassis perfectly on my disco.

Funnily enough, as our kids thin metal tube swing deteriorated I used some scaffold tubing & Kee Klamps to make a strong long lasting swing frame.

Got mine from machine mart several years ago the 2.5t ali one & used a lot on all the car & even lifting my disco & not had any problems.

I used to use Toluene, when making strong adhesive tape with the filament in it. Hadn`t heard of it since. Not sure if it is still in use. Dan

Used the rage saws when in my previous welding job. it used to cut through everything fine & really throw out big chips of ally when we were installing the risers. Dan

Got the bag weight wrong. Just had a look and the brand is Bearts of Stowbridge £9.99 for 20kg bag. Not sure if it is pricey or not but the pet supply place is onlu 2 miles from the house so easy enough to drop in & grab a bag.

We have had chickens 7 years now. We did have two cockerels that we hatched, but after one attacked my boy he met his demise. The other previously tame seeming one decided he needed to up the ante & protect the hens when my boy went too near, resulting in a scratch near his eye so he ended up on...

I had a similar thing with another grinder I had (to save me swapping between disc & sanding pads) & found a seller on ebay that did all sort of sized carbon brushes available.

Bosch & metabo do seem to last well as I used to use them alot in my last job. For home use though I once had the need to cut up an old oil tank so I bought a 750w Bosch on offer at homebase wich met it`s demise within half hour. So I went back to the store & returned it & decided to opt for...

I got myself a second hand makita BTW450Z as that was what we used to used to bolt big steel work together & it was brilliant. I use mine at ome for spinning the wheel nuts off the landy & undoing pulleys etc.

I use the fibre sanding discs off the angle grinder & you can get a nice sharp line too.

That`s why H&S have us wearing air fed masks now, although expensive for hobbyists it`s your health & up to you. For what it`s worth I used GVS elipse half mask PP3 rated order no 6922G from screwfix in Cambridge the ones with filters on the side, although never tried under a welding mask they...

You can tack or weld M12 nuts without a problem. I have even welded on M12 nuts to stuck bolts to remove them using my clarke 160 mig welder. Dan

I had an issue recently with poor wire feed on my clarke & the motor seeming to slip. I suspected the wire feed roller may be worn or a dirty liner, neither wich I had changed in the past. I also recalled in the past a spring type piece wich came out the end of my torch when changing a tip & not...

What about someone that skims car heads, would that be an option ? Dan.

How about Halfords foam engine gunk cleaner ? It comes in a aerosol spray can & it has worked really well at removing residue & only requires a wipe out with paper towel after. Dan

No I have used the Frost stuff, but it seemed to take a while to work, although it was cold in the garage when I tried. I just mentioned this as it`s a solution that you can brush on and it converted the rust 100% & saved me an embarrassing & costly confession. I also own a Land rover so will...
