I'm having some trouble with the thumb hole on my ball and the guy who runs the pro shop is on holiday. I've read that vent holes are quite commonly drilled to prevent suction problems. I think a vent may help as the hole size is otherwise ok. I have a 6x26 mill so I can do this myself. Has...

There have been a few posts about these, this is my collection. Three home made and one commercial. The bought one is the black one with a round bit. I need to make a right hand version at some point! This is the most used one. Sharpening jig. Height setting gauge.

I need to make about 20 pot holders from 3mm galvanised wire. I plan to twist a loop on one end, pass the free end through the loop and then make another loop on the free end for hanging the pot up. Do any of you have any ideas for making a simple tool/jig for twisting the loops? The wire is...

Every time I visit, in spite of the "remember me" box being ticked! Any suggestions, it's really ticking me off now! I'm using Safari on an iPad. Vic.

I need to make some fittings to connect some equipment in the filtration line of my fish tank. I have the options available in the subject line but I'd like to use something other than the SS as it's not a very nice grade to work (400 series of some type) but I'm concerned about galvanic...

Come on then, who's made a set. Lets see how you did it, or should I just buy some?! :big: Vic.

I have a small project in mind that involves making 180 degree bends in some 4mm OD Stainless Steel tube, ID is around 3.5mm. What do you guys think is the tightest radius I'm likely to be able to make in this size tube? Vic.

Go to Amazon and type "Veet for Men Hair Removal Gel Creme 200 ml" Then read some of the 302 reviews! :big: Vic.

I'm wondering if I could make something similar to this using a 5 or 6mm stainless steel ball in a conical (countersunk) seat. What do you reckon, would it work as well? http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/tmc-aquagro-co2-glass-non-return-valve-2916-p-4386.html I'd use a glass tube epoxied into...

I'm not sure where to put this so hope it's ok here! I'm sure a simple 12V lab power supply would come in handy and now I've seen some folks online have converted computer ATX power supplies from old PC's. So now a couple have dropped in my lap, have any of you guys done this, care to share any...

I'm thinking of making a cabinet with a magnetically fixed door but don't want to use plain steel with the magnets as it may rust. I know some stainless steels are magnetic as I have some (of unknown type) at home. Does anyone know of any commonly available grades of SS that would be good for...

I've been using an IPad almost exclusively for browsing and emailing since I got it a couple of weeks ago with no problems at all until a couple of days ago ... :-\ It's only affected this site and no others that I've been to including several other forums I post on. This site just would not...

We don't get a very good signal in some rooms so is this a good solution? I assume the big box connects to my wireless router with an Ethernet cable and is plugged into any local mains socket then I just plug the other unit where it's most needed...

I often save web pages on my Mac by going, file, print, save as PDF. There are several paid Apps that enable you to do this on an iPad but which ones best? I tried a free one but the images were'nt saved :-\

Pretty neat! http://www.fasterthanthewind.org/

I've modded my own Record Power belt sander for sharpening duty but I've also used one of these if anyones in the market for a sharpening system: http://www.robert-sorby.co.uk/proedge.htm Bit pricey but well made. The only slight niggle is that belt changing could be much quicker and easier...
