  1. Paint stripper and a wire brush to bare metal. Self etching primer and any other colour (all preferably from Rustoleum). I've restored a few Delta machinery, one coated with water-based poly (I liked the bare cast iron look).. Others I've spray with 2k, which is overkill as most machines can be covered with2 rattle cans.
  2. For architraves, a mitre saw will do just fine as you'll most likely only have 2 mitred corners per window/door frame, and the odds of everything being perfectly square is close to zero. But for framing, totally agree with you. For 4 angled 45 cuts, it's quite difficult with a mitre saw. Some okes claim the Festool saw gives perfect cuts, but that's serious money. My Bosch glide saw sucks for absolute dead accurate cuts, which reminds me I'll most likely have to make a sled too for upcoming mirror frame project.
  3. Most likely the best band you never knew existed; https://youtu.be/nn0WkFjwHRk
  4. ~R4k for the bosch blue (tool only). On my endless list of tools.
  5. Biggest crime here is once again an idiot recording in portrait mode.
  6. Worst still, it could be in yours;
  7. Seems youtube is giving us similar content suggestions.
  8. Like most anime, Love Death + Robots is a bit NSFW. Just make sure your son doesn't start cosplaying and collecting plushies. I drew the line at Dragon ball and Cowboy Bebop.
  9. I'm not an anime fan, but I'm watching Love Death + Robots probably for the 3rd time now, waiting for a follow up season. Some of the shorts are seriously awesome.
  10. Do you know how this compares to Woodoc 25 water-borne, which I think is a water-based poly? The woodoc cures/hardens quite quickly, but like all polyurethane finishes has "plastic" like finish. I've had success with Rubio monocoat on our kitchen island counter I made. If you spill any oil, it does leave a slight oil stain for a while, but holds up pretty well to everything else. The other plus point for oil based finishes is the natural wood look compared to film finishes. The bathroom cupboards was a total failure though (I suspect that it might a specific batch problem), so need to redo those and am looking at the above instead of oil-based products.
  11. Feast your eyes. https://www.totemautomobili.com/
  12. Not a fan of comic book hero films, but after Sucker punch, I'll probably never watch another movie by Zach Snyder.
  13. Have you read up about the link between gut mirobiome and autism in children? Quite interesting.
  14. Sit tightly, some Afrikaans WhatsApp meme group still has to make an Afrikaans version of it, with all the stupid emojis off course taking up half the screen.
  15. What a savage. Hope that wasn't for a table/counter top. If you have to butt joint like that at least make use of a finger or scarf joint.
  16. Unless you’re a single white woman somewhere between 23-35, it’s not a conscious decision.
  17. That’s probably where the karaoke took place as well.
  18. A drill bit is only as good as how it's used. Use the correct speed and drilling lubricant and they'll last longer, overheat it and even the most expensive cobalt bits go bust. Edit: I'm getting good mileage from my Alpen HSS set. Broken bits are easily replaced. I avoid Tork craft, Eureka and Ruwag if I can.
  19. Agreed, there's one way to destroy good coffee beans, and that's with over roasting. *pyrazines, pyroxenes are for the geologists.
  20. It's not illegal afaik, as they're occasionally available here. I think it's got more to do with your previous post, being US (120V, 60hz) spec vs Euro (220-240V) that we receive over here. A dado stack blade is much more efficient than a router bit, and has little to no regard for grain direction, slow feed rate and tear out.
  21. Guess I must actually be a koek then.
  22. Just check if the kit/special includes 1 or 2 batteries.
  23. just get this rather; https://www.toolcraft.co.za/collections/bosch/products/bosch-gsb-180-li-1-x-2ah-batteries-gal-18v-20-charger-case
  24. Can't really advise, as it depends really on what you're planning to do with it. Other than if you're actually going to use one, a compressor is like many other things in life, buy the biggest you can afford and have space for. I've a 2hp/1.5kW-100L-"silent"-no-maintenance-jobbie. In a domestic environment, it makes a big difference having one less tool making noise - especially if you forgot to switch it off and the compressor goes off in the middle of the night. It's too small for my needs, but I didn't buy it to seat tires.
