Been wanting a tube notcher for some time so today decided to start making one, well part of it at least out of scrap.
Went round on my hands and knees dragging out every bit of scrap hidden under the benches and in dark corners to make the tube clamp.
It might not be pretty but should do the...
Hi.
Not had it long but seems fine for my use, the flip up welding lens is very handy to enable grinding and anything requiring clear vision, the welding side of it has all that I need within it's settings and it takes a cheater lens.
Quite comfortable to wear with good adjustments, as is the...
Thanks for the reply. I actually have the G-50 which suits my needs for welding and grinding and have been giving it a lot of thought about what you said.
As the other unit would be for tasks other than welding and grinding I think something like the Optrel would suit better, it's as much to...
Appealing to the masses for help finding the above.
I have a PAPR welding mask but would benefit hugely from having a full face grinding mask for other tasks that involve dust but not welding.
My welding mask is an Esab but quite happy to make an adaptor for the air unit to fit any other...
On one of my permissions there used to be half a mile of old hedge that always had rabbits, it was my "go to" place if elsewhere was quiet. The syndicate who had the game rights got someone in to ferret it and completely cleared it.
So must agree that ferrets can do a good job of peeing off...
If I was in this position and didn't think I'd be needing an air rifle for much else I'd be looking at something like a s/h Weihrauch HW97 with a scope of about 4-6x.
No charging bottles or pump to bother with which will also keep the cost down. You can practice until your hearts content for...
Finished today but started last weekend.
I had some heavy hammered 40 x 8 kicking about that was turning a bit motley and we needed a new bench so knocked this up.
The cost of the slats was kept down by buying some reduced hardwood (Balau) decking planks and cutting them in half, apart from the...
I really wish you'd never asked this question:). I have a set in my van that I've owned for nearly 30 years but can't remember the name and the writing has worn off the handle, it's really bugging me now, no doubt at 3 o-clock in the morning I'll sit bolt upright in bed having thought of it...
Hidden from sight, hidden from mind.:laughing:
They were still performing a few months back when I did a job in there, wish I had a quid for every tyre on that site.
Old tyres are now an alternative form of energy believe it or not, replacing fossil fuels and I would imagine more lucrative than play grounds.

May thanks for the replies, think I'll just keep an eye on it for a few days but now feeling much happier than I was earlier.
Thought i was in for one of those 5 minute jobs that lasts for hours and costs a small fortune.
Thanks again:thumbup:
First thing is that plumbing is a bit alien to me but today I changed the valve things in the kitchen mixer tap. Bit of a doddle really, however when I turned off the hot water isolator valve, that little one that you turn with a screwdriver, it started dripping out of the bit that actually...
Many thanks all, looks like we have an answer very quickly, next question is, What was my old man doing with the block out of someone else's tap holder ? Pretty sure he didn't /wouldn't have one that size.
Thanks again, I now know.:)
Steel of some description, it's hard stuff, not into my steel types but know this is very hard and possibly a bit brittle with the missing chips. Thanks
Hoping this isn't overly boring but this was amongst some stuff inherited from my Dad. I keep looking at it trying to figure out what it's for and can't help but think I've seen it years ago in his garage but as a part of a tool, not on it's own as it is now.
Any ideas, after nearly 13 years of...
