Yes, printers is a classic example.
That HP ink subscription thingy is pretty fair....so much a month, to print so many pages (I think we're on £2 a month for 50 pages). They send you big old refills, too.
Anyway, how are you, Mr P? I hope you've caught up on your sleep.

I was hoping you'd say that....I didn't even know they made those (very handy).

Re: Electric nailer.....
Yes, I know what they mean. The laptop I'm typing on cost about £200, our microwave was £55 (both new) etc. I really dislike our throwaway society, but when things are made to be unfixable - or cost as much to fix as buying a new one - what choice do they give us?

Re: Morso table
Great idea and execution Many thanks for sharing it.
Glad you added the support....it would have been a mare if the bolts got distorted
By the way, what are those chrome things on the bottom corners of the support?

Re: Electric nailer.....
Pete, thanks for the tip on the Stanley 400. I didn't know about it and it looks brilliant to have tucked away.
Funnily enough (ok, not that funny) I nearly bought a Stanley 702 off fleabay last week. The 400 looks much better suited for what we need.

Re: Electric nailer.....
Thanks guys.
As I say, this is more for general DIY use (holding wood that's glued etc) than picture framing.
But ta as ever for the advice.
I hope everyone's out in the sunshine (and not just for hand re-finishing that 80s moulding you've had concealed in the loft )

Re: Electric nailer.....
Thanks, all. Yes Screwfix do one or 2 around £30....like you say, nowt to lose.
Steve, I've got one for backboards, ta. This is mostly for quickly pinning stuff to glue/screw (more chippying than framing)

Electric nailer.....
Hi All, I'd like to get an electric nailer for general DIY (and occasional framing use) - anyone got any recommendations, please? When I say nailer, I think I mean pinner.....panel pins and the like. I know nail guns are a more serious bit of kit. I don't have a compressor, so air is not an option. ...

Maybe suggest a coffee table, instead - and use gravity instead of glue.

Re: Bench end guillotine wanted
There seems to be a ton of them on fleabay, but I can't tell which ones would be up to cutting 3mm MDF etc....so I'm a bit stuck myself on this
Prospero recommended a 'Rotatrim', which sounds awesome...but of course is pricey (like any good kit).

Happy welcome, Jay!
I can testify they're a kind and patient bunch around here....don't worry about asking away.
Brilliant user name, BTW (is it an acoustic or electric beard? )
See you around the boards, mate.

Re: Recycling Mountboard
You always crack me up, Mr P :lol: When I learn how to upload pics here, I must post one of a big old gilt frame I bought off Gumtree recently. Can't decide if it's a great bargain or 70s hell :roll: Weighs a ton and the moulding(s) must be 10 inches wide. I bought it to educate myself - and also to...

Re: Recycling Mountboard
That's a great thing to do (and nice little bit of PR)...giving it to schools etc.
Prospero, I trust some of that part-composted mount board will appear in one of your brilliant creations

Re: Recycling Mountboard
Gumtree's freebies section is great for getting rid of stuff. I got rid of about 1,000 concrete old roof tiles...couldn't believe anyone would want them. I did stack them neatly, and got creative with the wording of my listing ('would make great garden path edging' etc :roll: ) So maybe list the thi...
