I’ve got some frost damaged bricks in my garden wall and that is why I was here to look at this particular tool. The video seems to suggest it would be ideal for removing the mortar, but not much else. May consider buying one to compare it against the other tools that I’ve got for removing mortar e.g. mortar rake for the angle grinder and also a mortar rake for the hammer drill, with the latter obviously only being on hammer action.

Yeah, replacing the timing chain would be a good idea, but, I my opinion, it's best to remove the front cover to do so. I was told you can split the old chain and join it to the new one and pull it through but, I feel there is far to much opportunity for something to go wrong. So I'd remove the bumper, grill, radiators ect then take the timing cover off. You can leave the engine in place and not move the timing and not risk any unforseen issues you might cause you're self.

My union tool and cutter grinder is a similar thing. I got it in as is condition and just made use of it my biggest problem with the grinder is the head is just a frankenfitted bench grinder motor, I've always wanted to make a proper mounted pulley and spindel with a separate motor.

If I were you, I'd definitely fit another row down the middle, I have two rows in my workshop and it's still not enough light, I find you can never have enough light when you're trying to fix something.

@smithbuilt5 ай бұрын
Hello mate. I'm happy you think so, to me it just feels like it's taking forever. Totally agree with you on never having enough light, I'm planning on 2 flexible working lights at each machine but I think a 3rd row will offset the shadows and balance it nicely at the same time. Yep I'll be painting it. I want a wipe clean paint but I'm not sure what primer will stick to ply and let me use gloss? The big job now is to move my original machines down to this workshop to try and work out a floor plan. What's going to make it hard is my old shed has a 12" step to navigate down. I'll probably make a ramp or something Really appreciate the feedback Thanks for watching
@coplandjason5 ай бұрын
I know that feeling, it seems to take an age to get anywhere when you're working on a project like that but you're making good progress. When I painted my shed interior (8x4 18mm plywood sheets) I used white emulsion paint - Leyland Trade stuff from Screwfix. It stuck nicely to the sheets and still looks OK, I didn't bother with gloss but the wipe-clean idea is a good one. If I did it again I think I'd do that, the wall behind my lathe shows a nice oil line where oil gets thrown off the chuck onto the wall :-) Moving machines from your old workshop will be fun, I suppose it depends what you've got to move but I think a ramp is a good idea, unless you've got access to something like a tele handler - I live on a farm and the farmer has been very helpful using the tele handler to lift things like my surface grinder, Bridgeport mill and my lathe, I would have been stuck without that or it would have taken me forever to move them using rollers and levers. Good luck!
