Jigsaw Blades

TequilaMockingBird

Anyone any ideas where to get one at this time on a Sunday morning?

Might not have got them anywhere that early Tequila but at this time I reakon the only place would be at homebase. Are you doing a spot of weekend DIY

Looking for somewhere selling jigsaw blades at 9:40 of a Sunday morning?

Optimistic non/ There were some in my garage round then.

Homebase will have them though also.

Good luck with it

Thanks lads.

Bought jigsaw yesterday in Argos.
Opened box this morning and blade missing.
Went back to Argos, got new jigsaw.
2" into sheet of laminate and blade snaps. :mad:

Back to trusty saw for me.

Someone make sure I'm finished with this lark by 8pm. Bath, jammies and Downton Abbey at 9pm. :cool:

Also, ALSO..!!

The reason I had to buy a cheap ass jigsaw is because I lent mine out and never got it back.

Can you sense I'm a little STRESSED from my posts?

The jigsaw blade broke from cutting laminate?!?! Are you sure you didn't buy a toy one?!!

TequilaMockingBird

It might as well have been. One floor down - five to go.

They MOVED! How irritating is that?!

Laminate floor will destroy jigsaw blades, you will need a good few if you are doing a floor TMB.

I now need an angle grinder. I think. Something to cut through steel.

Any recommendations for a hire place? I can't get onto www.samhire.ie

What are you at Tequila?

:eek:

In answer to your question I thinks theres a place or 2 on the Finisklin Road, on your left, just after the small car park and before the railway bridge.

the live show sequel?

Angle grinder on hold for the moment. Thankfully.

Stuck with the saw for the floors, came out fine, 2 down 1 to go.

Brookes Hanley have great value on laminate if anyones looking.

For my next request (this is turning into a blog), I need really strong thick trellis. More of the "catch skangers goolies" type than "artfully draping honeysuckle" variety.

Will look in Brookes tomorrow, any other recommendations?

Cant beleive we all forgot to suggest Connaught Gold in Finisklin.

TequilaMockingBird

While your there Stewie, can I ask you a weird question about the junction going into Finisklin?

TequilaMockingBird

Actually, scrap that, I need to Google Map it. It's a mad junction with vague markings. I ended up driving up a slip road onto the dual carriage way the WRONG WAY. :eek: I stopped, but the car behind me who obviously thought I knew what I was doing, swung past me and carried on. Yikes.

Which one is a mad one? There's no main junctions at finisklin

It's the junction there at Emmet Rd(?) and Lynns Place - opposite Finisklin, going onto main road. I'll stake it out when the roads are quiet some evening.

Sorry for off topicness mods.

I dunno what's more dangerous... Tequila with a jigsaw, or Tequila behind the wheel!

Sorry to bump this, but I want to get this in the morning. Will try:

Brookes
Homebase
NCF
Cannings?


Anywhere else? Any decent garden centres around that would have good trellis this time of year?

Both simultaneously?

NCF Best bet imo

TequilaMockingBird

Done. 252 concrete reinforcing metal stuff. Cut up into panels, €49 in Brooks.

Judging by the ribbons that were once my hands, it should deter any intruders.
