cheers for the input guys, it's very much appreciated and has almost certainly saved me from a disappointing first outcome! Having read your comments and advice, I've decided to take a different approach to this project... What you guys are saying about having a separate belt driven shaft makes...

Hi folks, I was given a 240V 3/4hp electric motor a few weeks ago and have decided to attempt building a bench mounted belt sander. I've got a rough design figured out for the rest of the build but I'm struggling with a solution for mounting a backing plate/pulley wheel to the output shaft of...

Sadly not. My Mother is Scottish and my father is English. I was brought up in England and only moved to Scotland about a decade ago, just before I turned 30. It was the best decision I've ever made. In a couple of weeks time I'm planning to celebrate my 40th with a few drinks in the garage...

John my dear fellow, that's not a towel... it's a "H&M Asymetric Off White Mini Skirt With Zip Size 6"... obviously! It cost me £3.94 delivered. In fact, her entire outfit, including 2X wigs, librarian specs, strappy top, miniskirt, fishnets, etc, came to less than £15 the lot, which begs the...

Gentlemen! I apologise profusely for my lengthy absence. It's been what... around 19 months since I last visited this farcical thread? It's about time I pulled my finger out! The Vintage G&T suitcase has served me well at various motoring events, and despite being mindful of the risks of...

Of course we do! Doesn't everyone?? tsk... foreigners are Soooooo weird Actually, most of the proper beers are served at cellar temperature so cask ales come out of the cellar around 52F and kegged beers (that are usually more heavily carbonated) will be chilled to around 42F Lagers are...

That's awfully kind, but like most Brits, I'll ignore all good advice and stick to the Gin

Gentlemen!, I beg you to humour me by ignoring the fact I've neglected to update this thread in such a long time. To me it feels like we were chatting just yesterday! Gin does this to a chaps' memory and mine is far from immune to her devious effects, although I've progressed to referring to...

UPDATE: I made some edits based on you guys' advice and posted the advert last night. Got an response this morning and am meeting the guy Tuesday who said "Seems reasonable money, would you accept 6 month terms and can I pay weekly by direct debit" seems keen... watch this space Thanks Ford33...

sort of yeah.... I'd like to be able to do a credit check at the least. I think I can do that relatively easily and I'll be asking them to sign a standard short term tenancy agreement, which protects me somewhat, but in the UK, they're largely unenforceable I think the trick in this country is...

and these are the three images I've chosen. I can take real images of the actual space but imhesitant to do this because it's still full of the last tennants shite at the moment and it looks less attractive. these images are correct to a tolerance of 10mm

I've been working on an advert for the last space available in my 3X car garage in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK My intention is to have this printed onto 1X double sided A4 sized flier and leave it in my local pub (the landlord will know who to show it to) and also give it to a few friends who run...

Thanks man. I'm glad you're enjoying it. I've had an enormous amount of pleasure from reading the threads on this forum so its great to hear someone finds my stuff interesting My first car was a battered old 1976 Mini that was issued to me by my father when I turned 17. I still have it and I...

that last post was REALLY text heavy so here's some new images of the design I've been working on:

Not taken as negativity at all! It is welcome advice and I've taken it on board. RE: the Lease, I leaning towards a one month rolling contract (with one month deposit) being a sensible way forward. As much as I'd like the (perceived) security of someone committing for a year: if someone's...
