    Yes Aerosol, two thumbs up for PTRS. They rebuilt a Makita SDS drill for me last year, fantastic job (works like a new drill) and a very reasonable price.Top class outfit.

    You cant go wrong with record chisels. Good quality and not too expensive. In terms of starter chisels,I'll probably get slated for this but I would recommend getting the cheap and cheerfull boxed set sold at most carbooth/markets ect. Turning chisels need to sharpened on a grinder regularly which takes a fair bit of practise, I ruined quite a few in my time. The cheapies are great for getting used to turning but also grinding,they cost about €20 or less, in a while you can upgrade and let your nephew who keeps bugging you for a go use the cheapies,worked for me.:p

    Can anyone recommend any decent local markets or vintage associations where I would be able to pick up some old planes. There are always a few on ebay but I personally prefer to handle them myself and give them a good look over "in the flesh" so to speak before I part with cash.

    I'm based in Mayo so if ye could point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.

    That's a pity, they're a nice little set and they should last until they come around again ;)

    When many hobbyists or people doing renovations have finished their project, they find themselves with a ton of new and used machine tools that they no longer need or have room for. Some end up giving the tools away, donating them or even throwing them away. These people can make a lot of money by selling their tools, but many don't know how to go about pricing, advertising and selling the tools.

    A place in Drogheda called Eddies Hardware do sales quite a lot... and usually advertise all over the place.

    I recently picked up a 50 litre compressor and the usual toolset that comes with it (spray gun, blower, tyre pump etc) for €160 which seems to better even the lidl and aldi 50 litre ones which were going for €200 last time I checked with no bits thrown in....

    And the spray gun isnt half bad to be honest... I used it to lay down some gloss on some external shutters and it worked lovely.

    Anyone know if iedepot is still in business? I sent an email the other day inquiring about a product, but it bounced. Yet there's an ad in Done Deal for a scrollsaw which I was asking about - but it's marked as out of stock on the website.
    wierd.
