Latest addition to the shed, new circular saw.

This used to be a sheet-metal cabinet from an old kitchen, I think it dates back to the 1960s. I modified it by adding four wheels, repainting it, adding some stickers, and extending the top with a door from an IKEA cabinet. It’s now my bike maintenance workbench, so it just needs to handle...

What an incredible story! that must have been such a memorable experience! Getting to walk the Monaco circuit and even sneaking into the paddock… that’s every F1 fan’s dream (i've only been to Monza and Imola). Unfortunately, I don’t have any stories quite as exciting about your country, I only...

I grew up, and still live, near the Ferrari factory, so I know exactly what you mean ;)

and then he drop a pic of a Ferrari with the engine pulled out. :ROFLMAO: Btw you did a great job! ps The Bianchi is cool as well!

Went to a cycling fair a some days ago and Beta was handing out this kit to anyone who followed them on IG. It’s from their entry-level line, but hey....free tools are free tools!

Here in Italy spark plugs are called "candles" as well. Vladimir thank you for the picture of your vacation, I can’t wait for this situation to be over so I can come back and explore your country properly. A few years ago I visited St. Petersburg and Moscow, and I really loved them.

Hats off for everything I’ve seen in these 150 pages, your house really is a dream. P.S. As an Italian, I’ve got to say your pizzas look better than many I’ve seen here in Italy. I’ve also subscribed to your thread.

It's in "Schonach im Schwarzwald" https://maps.app.goo.gl/pw7j2jCWQCqMNLqQ8 . Gedore has its own outlet as well but based on the review on Google the price are the list price, while at the Wiha one you could find good discount and even second choice tools (with aestethic defects).

My Bosch drill is made in Malaysia as well. At work we have Witte and Gedore (blue) screwdrivers, wittes are made in Germany while Gedore are designed in Germany and made in Slovenia, however my colleague can’t notice the difference between Philips and pozidrive so they’ll bust them no matter...

I love Wera screwdrivers but it's the only product i have from them, at home i have various tools from Gedore (the Red line) and i think they're good for an amateur/semi-pro use. ps I've just discovered that Wiha has a Factory Outlet in Germany, in theory i should pass in that area next month...

This is one of my (ply)wood works, my gf and i wanted to equip the car so that we could camp in it. The frame was made of 18mm plywood while the drawers are 15mm (probably a bit overkill). I treated the top with a bedliner to make it resistant to scratches and liquids, for the front of the...

Cool! i've been there two times and i loved it, looking forward to come back. Thank you, I live in the Emilia region (200km from Milan),the Parmigiano Reggiano area :ROFLMAO:

Hi Guys, i've just discovered this forum and i and I couldn't help but register. I live in northern Italy and I have a little corner in the garage that allows me to assemble/maintain the bike, do small woodwork and things like that. I will surely find interesting ideas here.
