Yeah too far. I didn't really need them anyway, I'm a sucker for deals

slowburner · 25-10-2011 9:52pm

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

This place has quite a few tools at ok prices http://www.jebbtools.ie/

amalberba · 13-11-2012 2:43am

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.

slpower01 · 17-11-2012 7:37pm

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.

Kerrydude1981 · 01-03-2013 10:27am

Looks like they don't do anything heavy or bulky. Scroll saws, table saws "cannot be shipped outside mainland uk"

Ken try parcel motel, use their Norn Irl address, although that may not count as 'the mainland'. If oversize you can collect it from their depot in...Finglas I think.

kenmc · 05-03-2013 3:44pm

I've used parcel motel in the past, but I think mainland excludes N.I. so that's out...

murphjohn121 · 05-06-2014 5:38pm

Ive used Jebbtools for my most recent stuff. I only went on for a dog crate that the wife had told me about. Now I have bought from them 3 or 4 times already. Good staff and quality tools.

namely a Sheppach hf 3000 spindle moulder c/w power feed
sliding carriage, cutter block
and a Multico Model M floor mounted morticing machine.
Owner has an aversion to adverts dot i.e. and similar.
Pls PM if interested etc

No problem with a genuine heads up on tool supplies.

But keep all contact by pm only both the op and anyone interested in them
Please...

my3cents · 10-01-2016 1:38pm

I'll give mytools.ie (Ronayne Hardware) a plug as they were easy to deal with and quick to supply. I had problems ordering online for some reason couldn't get payment page to complete but found them easy to deal with on the phone. Courier they use for up to 30Kg is Fastway so that might put some people off, but for me more than made up for free delivery over €75.

Sparks · 02-04-2016 9:22pm

So, dumb beginners question - I keep hearing about people talking about their old hand tools and where they got them and it's always the same: "What, the gold-plated record #8 plane with the titanium inserts and the padauk handles? That old thing? Oh, I picked that up at a car boot sale for a fiver..."

So do we have any of these magical car boot sales in Ireland where old hand tools show up reasonably regularly; or is it purely something that only happens within rock-throwing distance of Sheffield? Because ebay's pretty good at finding these things, but the postage is a pain in the fundament, especially with vices...

magicbastarder · 02-04-2016 9:43pm

last two hand planes i picked up weren't exactly a fiver, but i got one (stanley bailey #4) for €17 at irish liquidators on the belgard road (since closed) and a marples bailey pattern #4 at the dublin flea for €12. both had surface rust, but were simple enough to clean up with some wire wool and WD40, and both work reasonably well. i keep meaning to do a full tuneup on them at some point.

Sparks · 03-04-2016 12:18am

Ah rats, the Dublin Flea was last weekend when I could have gone if I'd known it existed

Thanks MB, I'll head into it next time to take a peek. I do need to get a #7 or #8 for flattening the benchtop and I'd be paying €17 in postage alone from ebay.

..Brian.. · 04-04-2016 12:32am

I buy all my planes on eBay. Use parcel motel and it'll bring the shipping down a bit.

magicbastarder · 04-04-2016 8:31am

i doubt you'd get a steel #7 in the flea; you could probably pick up an older wooden plane, but god knows what condition it'd be in. they're generally sold more as decoration than working tools, i suspect.

Sparks · 24-04-2016 1:42pm

Went to the flea today. Not many stalls with much in the way of tools though.

Which isn't the same as none at all, mind:

Sole's not in bad shape, seems perfectly usable. Not bad for €10. There was a nearly full set of wooden moulding planes and a box of wooden planes from that size up to jointer size, all going for the same price, but I just don't have anything in mind to use them for and there's only so much I can carry on the luas

But they're there today until 1600h if anyone else is interested...

Sparks · 24-04-2016 1:59pm

And the book selection was pretty good:

Where was that? Looks a great deal for a tenner

Sparks · 29-04-2016 9:29pm

At the Dublin Flea Market last Sunday. One of the stalls had two small boxes full of planes (one was a set of moulding planes, the other was a selection of wooden planes from jointer size to smoother size) as well as a small box of various screwdrivers and such. No chisels, which was a pity, I was hoping to find an ordinary one for a euro or two that I wouldn't mind destroying while learning to sharpen. And no router planes. Some interesting furniture design books in another stall though.

timple23 · 09-06-2016 3:08pm

anyone know of any timber nail suppliers? bulk suppliers? can find plenty of bolt suppliers but no nail ones, looking for small size flat head nails that are hard to get in large quantities

magicbastarder · 01-09-2016 8:07pm

not so much a tool question, but before i start driving around trying to find a place, where would be a good place to look for piano hinges, to replace on a kitchen table?

woodies sell them (I've seen them in the Bray branch). Woodworkers also stock them.

..Brian.. · 02-09-2016 10:25pm

Yea I bought some in wooden not too long ago.

Sparks · 02-09-2016 11:33pm

There's a place I've been meaning to take a peek at for that kind of thing on Mary St. if you're in the city center MB, called Home Style DIY ltd (every time I walk past it's all hinges and drawer pulls and the like). Very near the Capel St. end of Mary St on the southern side of the street.

magicbastarder · 02-09-2016 11:38pm

my wife bought some hinges in there on wednesday, actually. assuming i'm thinking of the same place; our neighbour was doing a clearout to get the house ready for sale, so we nabbed a few pieces of furniture that were otherwise going to go in the skip. she managed to get replacement hinges which matched the duff ones on one piece we grabbed, down to the same size, pattern, and screw holes.
i just hadn't fancied the idea of carrying 3 foot long piano hinges home on the bus...

Sparks · 03-09-2016 2:22pm

BTW, its.co.uk have ultex diamond sharpening plates on sale at the moment for £10 each (coarse, medium, fine and extra fine). Got all four myself a fortnight ago:

2016-08-28-19.08.33a.jpg

They're not bad, they're as flat as my DMT plate and the channels don't seem to cause any rough running when sliding the chisel over the plate. They're cutting fast at the moment but I've not had enough time sharpening on them to break in the diamonds yet. But a full sharpening station for less than the cost of one DMT plate? That's worth a try.

deandean · 04-09-2016 10:09pm

Nice one Sparks, thanks for posting.
BTW is that a leather strop on the right? Looks like a good idea.

Sparks · 04-09-2016 10:51pm

Yup, it's just a piece of 2mm suede cowhide glued there using contact cement and charged with white polishing compound, all bought off ebay. Been using one for a while (just an offcut of 2x4 wrapped in leather that was nailed and glued in place), but everything was separate while I built the workbench and it was a bit of a pain if had to sharpen anything so I put it all in the one place.

I'm going to keep the other strop though, because it was a pain for fully sharpening an edge from the plates on up, but it is bloody useful to just keep near the work so you can pause for ten seconds every so often and just strop the chisel three or four times and touch up the edge.

Hi Sparks
Thanks for posting. Tried to order today from ITS but they will only accept UK card. How did you put your order through?

Cheers

Sparks · 06-09-2016 6:02pm

Used my normal card and used the address from addresspal in the UK.

Wossack · 06-09-2016 11:09pm

yea they certainly dont make it easy.. gave their own phone number as my home number, as it just wouldnt accept anything my own. As above, I used addresspal address

istaunton · 07-09-2016 12:50pm

Cheers Lads
Tried again with Address Pal so hopefully works this time

Sparks · 09-09-2016 5:43pm

Whoops. Make sure you email sales@its.co.uk after ordering and have them put in your correct billing address (or they'll spam you with free catalogs at €3.50 a time via addresspal).

I sent an email yesterday just asking to be removed from the mailing list, did they get back to you?

Sparks · 11-09-2016 8:15pm

Yes, they did and sorted it out quickly.

Wossack · 13-09-2016 1:26pm

my stones arrived yesterday - the weight of em! very impressed. Thanks for the heads up.. I was a whisker away from ezelap ones from fine-tools
