I’m really pleased it was helpful!

Really glad it was useful!

Yeah if your Hoover doesn’t have its hose stuck in place then you should just be able to unscrew the old hose and replace with the new one. I think you can order this kit without the hose ready to use on whatever vacuum hose you have. That said, the smooth bore of the hose in this video makes a difference. Some vacuums have their attachments stuck on in which case you have to cut off and then screw the CenTec connector on.

Thanks very much. I’ve slowed down a lot recently but back to it in the new year!

Yeah it works well in my small shop. Especially on wheels. I think if I had more space I might have them separate.

Hahaha! Yeah people either hate or love whistling. I do it almost subconsciously when I’m happily concentrating and in a good flow!

@@CaptainofmyShed Totally understand. If I recorded myself while doing good work, it would be a sadly out of tune rendition of Life of Mars.

Glad you enjoyed! Plenty more to come. Thanks for subscribing!

Thanks! This was a fun project.

Thanks for the sub! Yep I think a box is always a great gift. They’re so versatile!

Clever idea for the magnetic closing lid. I've done that for hinged lids. Never even occurred to do that on a sliding lid. I'm gonna borrow that idea for my next box. Thanks!

Yeah if I’d made the lid tighter then I wouldn’t have thought of it.

Yeah it was working fine then this!

Ah I wish i could remember. I have had it for ages and bought it from an independent maker he sold the electric iron and also had a machine to cut the brass logo. From memory about £50 for the iron and £20 for the logo. They are certainly about that if you do a quick google search. Sorry i cant be more helpful!

Haha, yeah, it’s basically a fidget toy!

There is one pretty narrow one which might fit the outside of the port?

I didn’t think so but you might be right. Not sure why this didn’t occur to me!

Thanks very much. I really like the snap to close the magnets created. Very satisfying!

Thanks 👍

Really. What do you think is up with it?

@CaptainofmyShed I'm not strong in that field and haven't had much luck with to ol' Google. Does it have brushes on the motor? Have you blown it out and cleaned it? Sorry, not much help.

Yep that was surprisingly satisfying! Thanks for watching!

Thanks, I was chuffed. Going to make a couple more now!

If you watch my second video on this saw, there is a fix, involving some hydraulic ram lubrication. Worked a treat! Hopefully you still have the saw!

@@CaptainofmyShed I did and thank you. I’m going to buy a new one and keep it lubed this time. My old one had some other small issues.

@@CaptainofmyShed

Ah OK. I feel like this is part of a much bigger conversation 😂

Nails in places which don’t necessarily need the strength of join. They’re just quicker sometimes.

Had to dig out my manual to check before I said anything 😅 but on page 11 under dust collection it says for best results use a Y adapter to connect both upper and lower dust collection ports because the upper collection port should stop a lot of the dust that is causing the raise an lower arm to malfunction from dropping into the saw

Thank you kindly!

Thanks !

Thanks very much! And thanks for taking a minute to watch me back.

Cheers. I think I’ve decided who’s getting this one but I intend to do a couple more.

It’s a Kangol hat. Bought from hatsandcaps.co.uk It’s pretty old and starting to fall apart so not sure how much longer it will be making an appearance! Sad times!

Cheers mate!

Thanks! I visited Montreal once. A very cool place!

Don’t write it off yet. There is a solution I demonstrate in the next episode to this video. Find the right kind of llubrication and the problem is solved completely and easily.

Yeah I absolutely love it now. One of my favourite “tools” in the shed!

Yeah I agree, he has some great videos. I think I’ll watch again as a refresher.

Interesting. Did you finally get a good one?

Thanks for the tips. I think probably a hand held strop would be easier for the knives. I’ll practice with your chisel holding suggestion and see how it feels. Do you mind me asking what experience backs up your advice so myself and others reading can have confidence in the source? Thanks again. M

@@CaptainofmyShed I hate it when people introduce themselves with their expertise, but you did ask😆. I'd call myself an enthusiastic armature, rather than a professional, coz I do most of my sharpening for free or a token £1 to cover my material costs. I’m a sharp tool obsessive that has sharpened by various methods for 45years for my friends, family neighbours etc, now I’m retired from my day job and in my 60’s I sharpen knives, chisels, axes, machetes, swords (less of that now they’re illegal in the UK), plane blades, nail clippers, scissors, hairdressing sheers, mandolin blades, saws, hedge sheers, lawnmower blades, scissors, secateurs etc. I have a few private paying customers and the rest are free for volunteers and customers at 3 food banks and a commercial kitchen that makes 30,000 meals a week for the food banks, so as you can imagine their knives take a beating. Shaving sharp is my minimum standard and when I’ve run out of hair on my arms and lower legs I slice the thinnest cigarette papers. My favourite is putting a mirror-polished edge on whatever I’m sharpening (especially axes), totally unnecessary but I enjoy seeing the look on the customer's face when I whip out a chopper that was chipped and rusty-edged and it's transformed into something not only functional but beautiful. I also repair knives with broken tips and chips and have started to teach people too. For most of my life, I've freehand sharpened but in the last 5 years, I've largely switched to fixed-angle machines, whetstone grinders (similar to Tormek but a quarter the price) and belt a grinder for restoration and convex sharpening.

@@CaptainofmyShed I forgot to say, I'm subbed to literally dozens of sharpening channels but if I could only recommend 2 it would be Paul Sellars for woodworking tools, look for “Sharpening a chisel in under a minute for a no-nonsense quick method similar to yours, and for a more in-depth lesson look up “Preparing and sharpening a woodworking chisel” and Outdoors 55 for freehand sharpening of knives. You'll notice Paul keeps his strop separate from his stones. This lets him use it in the vice or hold it freehand.

@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 to each his own.

@@CaptainofmyShed I'm not sure what you mean by that?

I think youre right that i was unlucky. Unfortunately the customer service was poor too. I have experienced the good and the bad with Banggood.

Same happy user. I got the whole set and am keen to buy another honing jig just for the chisel. I regularly flatten my waterstone, so brass wheels aren't a too big issue

Agree to a point, i have had a couple of things from Banggood which were excellent quality. This could be a great set if not for that one flaw which probably is a batch issue. I think I got unlucky.

The spray I use is just glass cleaning fluid.

@@CaptainofmyShed Ok, tnx will try that.

Yeah I do say at the end of the video that for my chisels and planes I ended up reverting to a cheap honing guide for the primary bevels. Thanks for the comment.

If you watch to the end. A slog I know. I do concede this point and have used a cheap honing guide for the primary bevels on my planes and chisels.

And you are correct my name isn’t Captain Mikey really. 🤫

I think I cover that in the video but if not the product detail is linked in the description with all the dimensions and specification. Sorry, I would go to the shed with a tape measure but im not at home for a couple of days.

Cheers found it now footprint was on the website 😂😂

Glad it was helpful!

Where do the combo wrenches come into play?

@@CaptainofmyShed I think you can figure it out.

I had a similar issue with my home made guage. (The gauge was out in my case) ended up pushing it through and using finger pressure on two points of the gauge to keep it constantly in contact with one side of the slot. Not perfect but got me close enough.

I put one layer of blue painter's tape along the edge of my sliding guide rail. It seems to improve the fit.

I’m not so sure. On unpacking the fence was stored by the supplier, where I demonstrated and it fits perfectly.

​@@CaptainofmyShedhe's right. It'll clip on the inside of the rail in the same way it clips above.

@@DronedLove fair play. I don’t own that saw any more. It was a good product though!
