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

Thank you. That's why I'm watching KZfaq videos at 2:15 a.m. I have always cleaned my vacuums. My house is 4100sf, and 2 story. I bought the Dyson DC14 at a pawn shop and had it serviced. The man said it was in good shape, but it would soon need a new filter. I didn't realize it had a "Lifetime" HEPA filter until I was looking where to order one. I received everything in this video. When my husband got to the HEPA filter, he was afraid of breaking the little plastic things. Now I can show him how to do it carefully. I'm hoping to find a video that shows how to clean the entire vacuum. I got the bottom cover that covers the roller, but were having a hell of a time getting the roller out because of the belt. It really needs to be cleaned as well. I'll keep looking. The more I learn, the better I'll know how to take care of it. After I first had it cleaned and serviced, it took me 2 years to find the filters. Now Amazon has them all over the place. Thank you for your video.

That's useful input. Thank you!

Not that I have seen.

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 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.

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.

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!

Maple syrup or lemon?

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.

Thanks Richard. We're glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks. It was impromptu but it may happen again.

You know it!

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

Thank you sir!
