…With me is that I recently bought a bare DeWalt DW 936 circular saw from EBay and converted it to use Bosch 18V Li batteries. It was a good saw, on the whole, just needing new brushes and a the battery conversion to become a useful tool again. Continue reading “A ‘saw’ point..”

A big stacking tool box…
…Finally made it into my working life!
Following on from my post about needing a new tool box, I finally bought one. I looked at quite a few from various big tool brands and decided, on both price and usefulness, to go with a Magnusson branded stacking trolley box from B&Q.

Splicing rope…
…is one of those skills I haven’t used for nearly 30 years.
I’m not sure I still have it but I can have a go. Yesterday I repaired a snapped rope that was used for pulling tree stumps. I only bothered repairing the old rope as I need a bit of ‘normality’ back into my day after a really odd day at my other part time job.
Doesn’t take much, but makes all the difference.
