Rather than replace these windows, i'm going to have a crack at restoring them myself. I want to paint the metal and wooden parts of the frame back, in a non gloss finish, maybe a satin. I'll use Nitromors, a scraper and sandpaper to strip the existing paint - maybe wet and dry paper on the...

Is there such a thing as a Electric Needle Gun or Drill Attachment? I was removing rust from metal fence posts before painting and its a pain! lol. I don't have a air source.

Hi. Searching the internet I see various YouTube posts where cutting of aluminium sheet is demonstrated. So, my understand is that if the execution of arrangments to cut aluminium is satisfactory, cutting aluminium on a table saw made for cutting wood is acceptable. What I get from looking at...

Hey Guys Not really a home DIY, but it is a DIY fix non the least. I purchased some Jabra Bluetooth headphones for the stepdaughter. Somehow one of the headphones came off the headband. Either they are not well built, or they got stood on. Anyway. I am wanting to fix them as the everything...

I have a scratchy knob! ;) Please see photo. Can it be restored? What's the best / safest thing to try? Wire wool? Brasso? T-cut? other? Thanks in advance.

Can you help me with my discombobulation over options? I have some metal gates across my drive which need tlc. They have been painted before with some kind of matt grey coating. The verticals are fine; the horizontals need a wire brush and a bit of emery cloth. Because I want a particular...

I have some attractive metal gates, with golf ball size spheres along the tops and narrow spaces between the uprights. The paint is flaking and I would ideally like to make them smooth and glossy. So, preparation being key, I wonder if you experts can tell me whether I should use sanding...

I have well and truly screwed (literally) a fixing on my land rover to attach the roof bars. I've snapped off a screw in the hole and whilst trying to remove it by a mixture of ez-out and drilling I now have a second screw snapped off and a snapped drill bit and a snapped ez-out bit stuck in...
