Yeah I see normal regulators are 37mbar for propane and 28mbar for butane, did think about just putting thr torch hose onto the butane regulator, but will just get a propane tank. Now to find somewhere that will sell me a bottle without having an empty one to return
I'm looking at laying down some of those thermoplastic car park lines in my parking space, plus about 6 neighbours, the seller says to only use a long arm burner with propane. I don't have the torch or any propane, but I have a couple of half empty calor butane bottles, about 2 foot tall. So...
I'm far from a good welder, but I would never in a million years ever sell anybody this crap, but B&Q have just sold loads of these stands with their trees this year. Just got the new tree decorated with a new 720LED strings of lights wrapped round it, then it just fell over for no reason, I...
Yeah Googled other tri-lobe fasteners and that's the type, at least I have a name to search for now
I already have that 100 bit set already, came from aldi with a squint rachet screwdriver style handle for £8, it just had the smaller tri-wing sizes but even when I got a no7 triwing to try, it...
Got these odd ball security fasteners on a 2nd hand push bike I just bought, but can't find a tool to fit them, I did try those tri-wing type bits, Y6 and Y7, but they just cam out, any suggestions
Kickstarter Link
Just wondered if anybody had any opinions of this 5 in 1 machine, seems to have picked up quite a bit of interest on kickstarter with 4100 buyers already. I suppose it would be handy for keeping set ups small for infrequent DIY use, especally with the plasma ability, but maybe...
Back when I used to use contact lenses I eventually found the best fitting for me were Bolle Bandido, good side coverage and nice and light to wear, and with the ESP tint they were good for working indoors under flood lights. I would buy 10 pairs at a time on ebay for £20 and throw them away...
Our local tip now requires a vehicle to enter, which your reg has to be registered and a time slot booked before hand, max 4 visits per month. The tip is about 500m from my house and on the way to he town centre, so I usually just put stuff like grass cutttings on my cargo bike and drop off on...
I'm going to be building a shed this summer, 12' x 16', got a couple of double glazed windows for the SW wall, as it'll be up to the sun all afternoon. My plan is 15mm weatherboard onto 3"x2" and 11mm osb on the inside, and fill the gap with glass wool. I can't see my building skills being...
I spotted the Lidl stick welders in stock again, and 1kg packets of rods for £2.99 each, so grabbed a packet of each size. The bigger packet has no writing in English, the smaller does, it says they can be used electrode positive or negative, but which would be best, I'm just getting started to...
Obviously the building regs are easier down in Warwickshire than Scotland, think your snowloading calcs only have half the snow to contend with. I'd have put a something like a 10"x2.5" ridge beam with 3 vertical supports to those nice RSJs for up here
Yeah the steel frame looks bomb proof, just couldn't see in any of the pictures how the ends of the wood were being prevented from spreading out, but obviously they must be as it has passed planning
Just an observation, but how is that roof peak staying up, it looks such a wide span for the shallow angle, I realise you have planning so must be to code, but seems like if there was a snow load then one of the sides might push out
Moved into this house last year, its about 10 years old but half of the window hinges are broken, so most of the windows don't fully pull into the frame by themselves, I have to use a rubber suction cup and its getting on my nerves. They are all broken on the plastic part which has 2 rivets in...
I took some of the photos earlier that showed the internals were the same, and another user tweaked a pot to make it the 40A machine once a 16A plug is connected.
I was supposed to be building my workshop this spring but been delayed by COVID-19, so my plasma is still in the box. My compressor...
Just had a closer look of the cutting torch, and there is a tiny burn mark on the tip, which would indicate that they have function tested it prior to leaving the factory, also every connector on the inside is glued in, so should be a reliable unit in that shouldn't fail for a lame reason like...
