In the last two years I've occasionally read up on adult ADHD, and so much of it hits so incredibly close to home, that I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to find some help with it. I don't care about any official diagnosis, but coping better with my own mind and behavior would be great. One...

Hey Gregor, Long time reader here and just bumped into Paul Brodie's "new" youtube channel. Seeing his shop, way of working and the type of videos, figured it would match your (and other readers here) interests! Haven't watched all of the videos yet, but the ones I did were quite interesting...

Long time reader and lurker here and I have to say, being able to follow your build on Instagram definitely adds a whole new level of immersion for us fans! I got quite a chuckle seeing the same infrared thermometer being used by you in the garage to monitor the temperature of the swingarm...

First post in this thread after following along for quite some time, but wanted to chip in with my 2cents on your attempts of colour matching. I can't find much how well it would work with cedar (it's mainly used on oak), but have you ever looked into ammonia fuming? I have fumed an oak table I...

Made a thread a few months ago when I was in doubt if I would buy the expensive European stuff or decent, although China made tools. Ended up buying almost only European tools: Hazet, Gedore, Wera, PB Swiss, Stahlwille, Knipex and a bit driver from Carolus and a 1/4" ratchet set from Bahco which...

Just bought my first toolbox! Have been looking around for a decently priced 6 or 7 drawer box for a few months now. Came across this one, which was priced very well for 275€ for the bottom box and 300€ for the two. Since the MSRP is a multiple of that and it is in superb condition, I couldn't...

Do you prefer the Inbus sets over Wera?

Buying everything in one go was my first idea, because as you said it's a lot cleaner. I've gone away from that idea by now, as I feel I can get more what I actually need/want and for a better price by mixing brands/promotions. I don't know if an organized cart is worth several hundred euros to...

@Nicksnothereman: Well, the advantage is I do have some disposable income while I still live at home, so I can splurge a bit one month and have good tools which should last my whole life. Since posting this topic I crashed my bike, so I'm doing a front-end swap (and tuning the internals)...

Thanks for the input. I'll reconsider the bit-set and look for something that's within budget but a bit better quality. I have no clue however if there are any PB Swiss dealers nearby to test them, I do have the tendency to work in a clean environment. As far as I've seen, Facom isn't that...

Yes, I've seen that promotion as well but I feel that double open and double box sets are a lot cheaper in general as you get 2 sizes per wrench. Might still be worth considering and I do like the look. Any idea why Gedore would choose to include sockets from 6 to 19, only skipping the 12 by...

Going to bump this back up as I'm finally buying stuff (or bookmarked the stores where I'm planning to buy) and I wouldn't mind some final opinions or suggestions. 3/8 ratchet (only thing already bought): Gedore 30 GMU 10 (Strange enough this didn't include a 12 socket) - 100€ 1/4 rathcet...

I didn't know you could buy those trays seperately! Foam or plastics doesn't matter to much, as long as they're not lying loose or each in their own, different box. I'll keep my eye out for a tool box locally.

After all your posts in the 'old world' thread, I was sort ofexpecting you to turn up here Monte :) That is quite a bit cheaper if you buy everything separate, more than I expected so. Big price difference between Bahco and Hazet/Gedore ratchet sets! Any suggestions for a reasonably tidy way to...

Good point about the JIS. I do think my dad has normal as wel as JIS bits, so I could use some of his if I ever get in trouble. I want/need 2 sets of wrenches as I often prefer to use 2 wrenches with the same size for axles etc. I could go for a closed + combination set as well. Thanks for the...
