I don't think it matters but I have found putting them in as shown works well. It also matches what I found the first time I opened our Dyson.

@@TalesFromTheTinkerage Much appreciated!

For small wood item sanding it is absolutely perfect in my opinion. Pretty much all the ones that look like this are made in the same factory with just a few slight differences like styles of knobs, colour and shape of the tables. There's only a small variation in price so just look out for one that suits your pocket and perhaps colour, if that's important to you. I have sharpened with it but I now have a Sorby Pro-edge which is in a different league for that. With the Sealey you would need to make jigs to get consistent angles but it will work. It's a fraction of the price of the Sorby. I hope that helps. Reach out if you have further questions.

​@@TalesFromTheTinkerageThanks for your detailed reply and it sounds like this would come in handy as I have a gardening business and keen on DIY so sharpening small hand tools and small woodworking is my thing. Would you say this is better quality than the other makes in a similar league? Where do you get the spare sanding discs and belts from? How do you install them?

I've seen a few versions in friends' workshops and they really are much of a muchness. I bought this one because it was the cheapest I could find as I only had a limited budget when I bought it. Belts and discs are easy to find. Most places that sell abrasives will sell them. TBH I use Amazon as I have a Prime account and they'll normally come next day. I've not changed the disc yet, I mostly use the belt, and I think it's adhesive iirc rather than velcro as on a random orbital sander. To change teh belt you take the side off and release the tension. It's screws rather than knobs but it's only a 2 minute job. I've seen one guy who leaves the side off as he changes belts regularly for rough sharpening chisels, it's doable but sketchy. For something like lawn mower blades it would be excellent. Secatuers might be trickier unless they come apart but that's the same for most sharpening systems for them, in my experience. @@mattseymour8637

As the disclaimer stated at the start, it's a small fully tiled bathroom, aka an audio engineers worst nightmare.

@@TalesFromTheTinkerage Take a look at the mic placement fella. Muffled...thats not the bathroom. Its facing down... All good. Keep up the helpful vids tho.. couldn't listen to this one without straining in parts...my hearing is 100% :)

That's useful input. Thank you!

Mine is the DC14 Animal but it only has the two filters.

Not that I have seen.

You're welcome

Sorry about that. The human malware and some family stuff has put making, and making videos particularly, onto a back burner.

@@TalesFromTheTinkerage we will be waiting. All the best 👍🏻

That's a useful tip! Thank you.

You're welcome!

That's a good question. Traditionally I'm fairly sure that it would be salted butter but I have only used unsalted butter for the last 30 years.

That's odd. All the ones I've seen are the same as the one in the video. Are you in the UK?

@@TalesFromTheTinkerage Yeah Aberdeen, it just won’t screw in the way you do it, the metal of the vent goes the other way 🤷🏽‍♂️ I don’t know if I’m doing it wrong but I’ve tried countless times and different ways but still nothing, I thought the hose was the wrong one but apparently there all universal, my brain is burst 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

@@neilbuchan1489 That's really odd. All the ones I've seen have the wire in the same arrangement as the threads on a screw. I'm all short of suggestions I'm afraid. Other than maybe picking up one from Toolstation/Screwfix to compare, knowing that you can take it back if it doesn't solve things.

That's a very good tip. It's something I normally do although I do forget now and then.

Totally. I remember seeing a "tiny shop" video from the US once and it was bigger than a standard UK single garage.

Awesome, thank you!

Me too! Thanks for popping by.

Bacon has to be cared for! I'm glad you found it useful.

I agree that metal would be better on both counts. And in some settings it is a requirement. The PVC hoses are very common in UK households. They are cheap to replace and shouldn't be at risk of fire.

I've had a plastic one for over 25 years and never had any issues.

They're not as flexible... My hotpoint machine doesn't have threads to turn pipe securely into machine but a metal connector and then have to use cable tie.

It uses an LR44 (or G13) which are readily available from hardware stores, supermarkets, Amazon and eBay. Once you replace it you will need to reset the calculator: CLR - ALL - YES. (shift 9, 3, =) Don't skip that part! I hope that helps.

Thank you! I'd like to say it's mine but it's been in use for most of the 20th Century as far as I know.

Thank you!

I think I may try and do this again next year. Yes, my watch later list is huge!

Thank you. That's a good idea. I've not had an issue with creepy crawlies myself, but I can see how that might help if someone does.

Thank you!

Maple syrup or lemon?

Thank you! There will be more. Mostly over on our Makers Waffle channel.

Thank you Joe. We're in it for the long haul.

Thank you my friend.

We know you too. Hopefully one of the thumbnails will also include your headshot one day.

@@TalesFromTheTinkerage I'm sure we can make that happen!

Thanks Richard. We're glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks. It was impromptu but it may happen again.

I'll explore that. We are having a guest on next week.

😂

You know it!

Thanks Paul! Yes, see you later!

I have a number of friends who swear by Ryobi as a system. However, when I've had them in my hands I haven't been that impressed with them so I didn't include them in my search.

Thank you and thank you for taking a look. If I had the cash I'd have more Bosch tools.

Thank you sir!

Thank you. My DeWalt replaced a Makita. Makita have a good range of tools but their marketing has led much to be desired so I tend to avoid them. If I had the cash I would get more Bosch tools.

Thanks. I do hope so!

I'd love to go 12V and I suspect it would become my go to tool. They're not overly available over here, and not as good value as the 18V, or rather this 18V was really cheap. Do you find the smaller chuck capacity an issue at all?
