needed.

Aluminium Specifications
Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:32:00 +0100
Some while ago there was a discussion about alloy specs. and I
remarked that the old AlFed handbook was an excellent resource. Sadly
it is no longer available, AlFed having become a much less useful body
than hitherto. I have recently un-earthed my copy from 10 yeas of
storage and now scanned it.
It is availab ...

MMA welding rods

Any recommendations for a supplier around the Warrington/North West area.
I'm specifically looking for cutting/gouging rods, so Machine Mart is no
good!

Paslode nail gun
Sat, 10 Oct 2009 20:55:59 +0100
Rebuilding the garden shed/workshop, I thought, this time, lets have a crack
at a nail gun, instead of all that hammering of nails, and save the
backache. Norm (of New Yankee workshop fame) makes it all look so simple.
Off to the hire shop, I asked all the questions a newbie would, and had a
go. They gave me ...

cutting the gears using cutters from the Brown and sharp series. In
this series the lowest size cuts a 12-13tooth gear. If I use this
cutter to make an 11tooth gear what effect woul ...

Chain query
Tue, 6 Oct 2009 19:36:27 +0100
I'm needing to replace a chain on an old Quad bike, but I'm struggling to
find one at a reasonable price (OE one is stupidly expensive).
After measuring the chain, all the dimensions are identical to a BS 5/8"
pitch chain, however the plates are thicker, and the rollers narrower (ie.
the overall width is stil ...

Blowtorch gas bottles
Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:06:10 +0100
Other week I tried to get a gas bottle for an old (1960's-ish)small
(pencil-like-flame)torch. Found that they no longer make suitable gas
bottles. Okay, no problem, after all, the torch was old.
So, I've managed to found my dad's TAYMAR blowtorch bought a few years ago.
But TAYMAR gas cannister is delisted h ...
