I think I’d take a basic set of tools as mentioned pliers , screwdrivers , small socket set The soldering iron and multimeter mentioned above is a good call , tbh I no experience in repair cafes but as ghe organiser can’t be bothered to be there to introduce you to the members then just treat it...

Hi and welcome to ukw ,, I take my hat off to you as I can sense your pain in your words . It’s very brave of you to post your story and I read it I can’t help think of the friends and family I’ve lost over the last few years . You will have to post a few messages before you can use the for...

Absolutely right, I set my job site saw up and checked it about 20 times , I didn’t switch it on until I was a 100% . I asked the members here about the gripper you mentioned and if it’s the one where you remove the gaurd and the riving knife then don’t use it for your t/saw . The good folk here...

Hi and welcome, to ukw must be quite a challenge to work mainly from solar. Good on you ..

best way forward is to take your time , there is no rush, get to know your saw , make sure you know how to adjust it properly so the blade is square to the mitre slot/ gauge and likewise square to the fence . Never exceed your reach and be extra cautious with long pieces or large sheet goods-...

I have small shop vac connected to a small cyclone , great for smaller tools like sander small to medium router. Larger tools like t/saw and planer / thicknesser large router may need a dedicated extraction system. Depends what you’re producing dust chips or shavings. My space is limited so I...

I read your post and understand your situation- many years of experience at various management levels but no real qualifications but experience imo is worth far more than a few letters on a bit of fancy paper. You have already reduced your expenditures and no doubt will continue to .depending on...

Not in a position to make my own until the workshop is set up, so looking at things like Wasn’t suggesting he does 😂

Difficult to judge on one negative review but easy enough to pop into b n q if you have one nearby ,, personally I’d err on the side of caution especially at just shy of £800 especially if your skill set can produce better for a lot less .

Hi hello and welcome 🤗

I don’t think you need to go back to bare wood unless you’re changing the colour. Just remove the top coat of what looks like varnish or varnish/stain . A good quality yacht or exterior varnish should have it back to its former glory . If your concerned with the damage towards the bottom of the...
