need to make water feature for a viv i am building.

planning on using sandstone but whats best way to drill it?

assume a normal masonry bit no good?

google just throws up drilling big bits, piece i will be using is only 1.5" thick and will then be siliconed to base piece which will have small drain hole in it to allow water to drain back into sump.

thank you.

trying to find the plastic bits on desks that allow you to put plugs through then tur to cover most of hole.

tried covers guards etc but can't find them

whens it out?

and would it work on clarke 430 with 6" centre height?

great. will be getting them.

at my club we have a gear cutter which no one knows how to use.

have made album with pics in to see if anyone can identify it or how to use it.

thanks for replies.

all my grinders are in storage since lost workshop so couldn't look.

was looking at article in MEW about fitting drill chuck to bench grinder and brain started thinking about it.

if nut on angle grinder is std right hand thread does that mean disc turns anti-clockwise?

great cheers will have to work something out.

pics would be great thanks.

how do you cut left hand threads on the lathe?

basic q i know but not sure.

will be on a clarke cl 430 when i get it up and running.

not that far then i'm near leeds.

two good places are reptillia in osset and tyrannosaurus pets in leeds.

i used to build my own vivs from marine ply and used sealant for aquariums for edges.

then varnish it can't remember name of it now but any decent reptils shop will tell you it.

we also used to get sheets of plastic and fit that into base and up sides to create waterproof section especially good when using bio substrate.

many happy trips out to woods looking for branches and logs to hollow out for hides.

thinking of getting back into it.

go on RFUK used to be brilliant site but not been on in few years.

where are you?

Which copy of mag old?

Wouldn't mind making one myself

planning on building fabrication bench using 1/2" x 8" steel slats drilled to take various jigs.

to buy them cut to length is a no go due to cost.

was wondering if could get metal cutting blade to fit my B&Q radial arm saw and use that by taking several light cuts each time?

if so where is best place to get blade?
