    Aldi Table Saw

    Apologies if this is in the wrong thread. I bought one of these a few years ago, and since I've had it the blade has been a little off being straight. It is only slightly out and I have been able to use it for rough projects but I would like to calibrate it so that it cuts true. Does anyone...

    Leather Splitter

    I dabble a bit in leather work and all the tools that i have purchased have been budget options but are perfectly adequate for the jobs that I put them to. I have wanted a splitter for a while and have downloaded plans for homemade ones but never gotten round to making one. A****n now have...

    LED Lanterns

    Are they all much of a muchness? There seems to be a vast array and range of prices, but aren't they essentially just LEDs, batteries and a switch inside a housing. I'm after one for sitting round a barbecue (we never slum it) at the end of a day's hunting, and apart from being resistant to...

    Recommend a Compact Camera

    Hi I'm looking to get a compact camera to carry in the pocket whilst out walking. I don't need it to be waterproof, and really only want something to take a pic whenever I see something interesting. I'm looking to spend around £100 or so, and am not interested in bridge cameras as they are too...

    Gas Bottle Fettling

    I have a gas bottle but for the life of me cannot seem to budge the valve, despite WD40-ing the blighter and using a large adjustable with a scaffold pole and alternatively a lump hammer. I have worked on the principle that it is a right hand thread as that seems to be the internet consensus...

    Can anyone identify this model?

    I have inherited a sewing machine, and the only marking on it is "Merritt". What I really want is to get my hands on a user manual, and will need to know the model name / number. Pictures of the machine and serial number are below. Anyone have any ideas? :confused:

    Battery powered lantern

    I live in a semi rural hamlet which usually experiences at least 1 power cut a year. Due to the recent spell of inclement weather, these have been happening more frequently. I have a wind up LED lantern, but frankly, it needs almost constant winding to emit any real light. I'm looking to get a...

    Hi With the night drawing in, I am looking for an LED torch at around the £30 mark, maybe a little more for something exceptional. Preferably one which uses 'ordinary' batteries i.e. AAA or AA. Is the LED Lenser P7 still a good buy, or has it been surpassed? Amazon have it for sale for £30...
