Picked up from Facebook market place where a guy had his grandson running a virtual garage sale with cash on collection.. I collect Record tools and spotted at least 3 sets of Record stilsons in the crate so went for it.. Not had a chance to go through the whole thing yet but the list so far...

Here in the UK we don't really have a lot of different brands when it comes to old oil or indeed any Garage supplies. from the look of the US every state seems to have it's own champions where in the UK one brand covers the whole of our Island.. I bought these at a car boot sale.. (guess you'd...

Hello from North Wales.. I'm in Llanberis.. we have some water here too 100 yards from the house.. lol and I've included a pic of my silver Barge :ROFLMAO: Nice looking workshop..

yes they are from Brazil.. I tried Wilkinson Scissors once but without the serra bottom blade they were not up to the job.. I keep one pair of the 10" for cutting card,zip and thin metal and the other pair for fabric.. they will cut several layers of leather when doing car seats and still cut...

I've been an upholsterer for 38 years and I only use one brand.. I have only bought 4 pairs in this time and I still own and use 3 if them.. Mundial shears currently have a pair of 8" and two pairs of 10".. they are a bit pricey but they last a very long time even in constant use..

I'm an upholsterer by trade and C.S.Osbourne tools are the best upholstery tools you can get.. that is if you get old ones.. My ripping chisel for banging out tacks and staples I bought 38 years ago and still has a sharp edge. I got a newer one with a plastic handle, it was in the trash within a...

Well it's been a while.. I've been neglecting the workshop (Bunker).. I hope everyone out there is safe and well... What with covid reducing staff at work meaning I've been doing 12 hour shifts and being too tired to go in there and the Death of my mother-in-law meaning I spent months clearing...

the Tank cutter (or gasket cutter as you call it) is in it's stored position.. undo the screw and then slide the top blade in from the other side to use it.. So they are on opposite sides.. I have a couple stored this way with a cork pushed on to keep the blade sharp and safe. I actually used...

My Uncle used to build / rebuild Indian and Harley motorcycles in an 8 by 6 shed.. He could only work on one end at a time due to the other end being stuck out through the door in all weathers..lol.. Good luck to you and enjoy your new space..

Made up a set of leads to add a secondary battery to the S60.. cleaned said car inside and out topped up the oil and water ready for a road trip.. Heading to the airport tomorrow for a two week trip to Greece.. :)

Just spent a lot of time reading through all 28 pages and love it all.. The thing that got me most however was one of the first posts.. it showed draws within draws.. What a great idea.. I've been making tool draws for my collection of old stuff and have been less than pleased with the...

Nothing.... My wife asked me to help change the covers on the bed... I leaned forward an inch and my back went.. should stick to heavy stuff that never ever hurts.. just light stuff you don't get ready to lift messes me up. I need to start treating pillows like 100lb pieces of furniture then...

Making a trim this sort of shape would mean the sheetrock wouldn't have to be so tidy at the top as the trim would hide it..

But then you will need to start another thread and do it all again..:shocking: I CAN'T WAIT.!!!!!!!! Just outstanding.... detail is great and as others have said.. you can't have too many pictures.. :thumbup: OCD is good M'kay.

Love it.. watching with interest..
