Lavatory Pans

No need to pop to a shop to buy anything even though they have them in B&Q. They supply, grab rails, toilet seat extentions, chairs, commodes, walking frames, toilet frames, etc. all free.

Oscillating Sander

No, it is not what I'd have in a pro shop, but for the money, it is very good. Changeover takes only a few minutes. I use mine frequently and it has been trouble free. Ed snipped-for-privacy@snet.net http://pages.cthome.net/edhome

[OT] Supermarket shitlists

I remember snipped-for-privacy@cucumber.demon.co.uk (Andrew Gabriel) saying something like: Yep, I knew it well, and used to shop there regularly. The free car park in front of the library/central arena was excellent.

Routing a T-Slot in Corian?

But I don't go to great lengths to have a museum quality piece of furniture in the shop. The tools in the shop are to assist me in making furniture, etc. The shop is not just the means to an end. Doesn't mean I don't like nice tools though! :) Dave toller wrote:

Home shop compressor

I like craftsman's deal with the 'free' tool kit that has the 3/8 and 1/2 drive air tools. It 'says' no need to add oil. But I thought oil was needed to help lube the ratchets and air guns etc...? Not looking to overspend. If I can get the job done with one of the above less expensive ...
