For Retromods, you can't get a better channel than Retropower imo. You'd be hard pressed to find a higher standard of work, the weekly uncut videos are a perfect balance between giving an update on what they've been working on and explaining the process/technique of the task at hand, and they...

These particular holders only work the one way. The pins that the sockets sit over have dome-like bases reinforcing them and the square drive hole doesn't fit over them. And the very small sockets (look at the small 1/4" drive) instead of pins (which would be too fragile) they have a ring at...

I'd call it small, but well packed :)

I'll give you £63 for it, even pay postage too!

It never gets easier, your standards just get higher.

Genius. It's so easy to overlook the simplest of solutions.

That would be me and I'd be incredibly grateful! Drop me a line at tony dot mather at gmail dot com and we'll sort it out. Completed Hansen sets here I come :D

Parking sensors? Not sure whether they can be adjusted for such a small distance. What about one of those flexi poles with flags on top they put on the corners of oversize vehicles and the back of kids bikes in the 70s? Plant one an inch from the wall, centre of the parking spot and you'll see...

I think you should name and shame. After all, someone else considering this company, doing their due dilligence, searching for references just as you did would come away with the exact same, reassuring, impression that you got when you did yours. Who knows whether this sort of thing is common...

Tell me about it! I'm constantly searching for a cheap 1/4" drive deep 1/8" socket. $4 for a Napa one, $8 for SK. Shipped to me in the UK, $65!

Cheers. I used plenty of lube and kept it cool as I could. It worked out well and I think the socket is still okay, though to be honest I can't see it getting a whole lot of use.

I'm only a DIY tinkerer, so don#t have that many to store and just use a diddy 4.5" grinder, but I get these from work and they're perfect. One each for grinding, cutting and flap discs.

I'm stealing an idea I saw on another thread here and getting some aluminium angle and drilling semi circular holes in one side and double-sided taping them to the drawers to work as rails for extensions to sit on. Edit: Like this, but with DIY angle.

I got my 5/8" deep and instead of narrowing the socket for the lower size the OD is the kept the same and the socket just has a super thick wall. Which means it doesn't fit into the little cup thing that come for the two smallest pins on the Hansen style trays. Going to stick it in the lathe...

One option that's good if you're careful with picture choice, particularly if you'd like to try a few things out before shelling out for a massive job from a proper printers (particularly if you have access to a printer at work ;)) is to rasterbate an image. The advantage is even relatively low...
