Pallets - daft question!

[veggiechicken]

There's a cordless drill here, Shen, and several corded ones, and handpowered ones...........But anything "powered" scares me. One day I'll be brave and try it....
I will not be trying the chain saw, circular saw on saw bench or jigsaw - not until I'm much much braver

Sorry, just noticed the last page of the thread.

Good effort VC.

I got a decent enough cordless drill / screwdriver for 12 quid at B+Q, which does me fine for building stuff, putting up shelves.

That's an excellent job VC.
Don't think mine would have looked that good.

[veggiechicken]

If I can do it without nails, anyone can do it with nails
Just hope mine hasn't fallen apart by tomorrow

[veggiechicken]

The bed with no nails is still standing and has turned into a Square foot bed (actually more of a 22" not quite square bed with a wobbly middle ) and a chicken wire duvet with extension

Apparently a pallett a day is enough to keep a Rayburn burning throughout the winter! (Not a lot of people know that)

[veggiechicken]

Thanks for that Snadge - I'll try stuffing one in the Aga and see what happens
For me, its a pallet a day helps you work, rest and play

Or "A finger of fudge is just enough"...............

Next project for you VC .................

[veggiechicken]

The Nailfree, SFG , uni-pallet raised bed is still standing and makes me very happy!
I may have to cobble together another one

[veggiechicken]

Some advice about Cordless drills required please!
I put the battery on charge - but its not charging. The red light stays on and there's no life in the battery when I tried it. It hasn't been used for 8 years so is it a write-off?
Just when I've worked up the courage to use it - its defunct

[bearded bloke]

Doesn't sound too good

[Sheneval]

How long did you leave it charging for? Was it - is it still in the drill -if so take it out and see if there is any corrosion -leaks - white mouldy looking bits.

After 8 years it is probably as dead as a dodo

[veggiechicken]

Thanks Both. It was all neatly packed in its carrying case. - not on the drill. It says 3 hours recharge but it was on for at least 6. On Goggle there are ways to jumpstart a dead battery but I'm not sure I'm up to that
So I now have to decide whether to buy a new battery, a complete new drill kit or live without it as I have for the last 8 years

Hey VC, I think Lidl had drills as their special recently...might be worth checking..
