Do you have a link to the led lights?? They look great nd may need to fit a couple in my garage
The 2 adult mountain bikes both look specialised (one fsr enduro and the other rockhopper/hardrock)
Both cracking bikes if they are.

Yes; I've been looking for some ideas to stealif using propane then a cheap way to get it hotter is V in a couple of psi of compressed air....makes a massive difference to the flame temps
This one can be scaled down a bit.

yep the same principle as when they burn old road markings off the tarmac...propane and compressed air. ive been playing with this idea for many years now as i was trying to build and complete a roofing torch that could dry a flat roof in a fraction of the time and use much less gas, ive pretty much almost finished it but looking at your vid has gave me a better idea for the torch head that i have nowYes; I've been looking for some ideas to steal

I went and spent the £25 voucher from work on a SIP fireball heater at Halfords, it's smaller than I expected but it only cost me a fiver. Got it home , unpacked and plugged it and nothing, its as dead as the proverbial
So it's back to halfords in the morning to see what their returns policy is like.

Went back to Halfords last week with a dead battery (5 months old)..young spotty faced kid put his magic box across it and said "perfect" and gave me a printout from same machine..showing 315 ampsI went and spent the £25 voucher from work on a SIP fireball heater at Halfords, it's smaller than I expected but it only cost me a fiver.

i asked to see the manager and asked him why my 450 amp battery was showing 315 amps "its cold today" he said...don't accept there bullcrap and insist on an exchange. To finish my tale lets just say another 5 minutes after he told me my battery was down 135 amps but was perfect i was walking out the store with a new battery and warranty and my old one on the counter.Been fine since so as he also said it was not "parasitic draining away through the earth"..you could not make it up

You're lucky he didn't accuse you of leaving it on a concrete floor.

Got these today mainly for sewing leather things and they aid grip and have a nice hole for the needle, They have been cleaned in a ultrasonic tank so i hope i don't catch anything "ELSE"..
I’m sorry, but if you are using these for sewing leather, then you are doing it all wrong.
Stabbing yourself with a large blunt needle repeatedly, is a prerequisite for any leatherwork. I know that for a fact, and have the scars to prove it.

As the son of a cobbler i totally agree with you, Until i was 10 i thought it was normal to have a few puncture holes and a few slices caused by trying to snap wenzel thread by hand.I’m sorry, but if you are using these for sewing leather, then you are doing it all wrong.
