From your link:- It is driven into a hole bored through two (or more) pieces of structural wood. As pointed out to me earlier in the thread, these things are fired into the substrate. Find out more here. Cross section of the nail inserted:- Nail - beech, timber - pine Can't be used in...

I've always been under the impression that a #3 is just a narrow #4. In view of the comments here, I thought I would check. Here's a couple of pics of my Stanley #3 and Record #4:- As can be seen there is practically no difference between them other than the width resulting from blade widths...

Pity we can't see any oak

Similar to Miller Dowels which have been around a long time

Just had a look at it on Streetview. It's probably about 10ft. I imagine it was causing problems at the farm entrance. Brian

I know a farm in Somerset that has a large old ash tree growing by the entrance gate. At some point in the distant past it had been pollarded causing several new growths to develope around the periphery. These were about 9" diameter when I last saw them some 10 years ago. The middle of the ash...

I admire your approach to what must be harrowing exercise. I've been doing a lot selling over the last couple of years and I've tried all the methods. Here are some notes in order of preference:- UKWS My much preferred medium. You just need a few photos and a reasonable asking price A bit of...

Your choice is going to be determined by your method of application. Without any form of veneer press (I presume) you'll be limited to hand methods which are (a) traditional 0.6mm veneer and hide glue or (b) pre-glued iron-on. Buying traditional veneer in your quantities is difficult; too much...

That raises a few questions in my mind:- What are you going to use them for when finished How many do you need out of the 50mm What is the state of your bandsaw blade How many tpi on bandsaw blade Have you got a rip blade for the table saw I would start by planing a face side and edge. Then...

Had a brilliant car boot sale yesterday and sold lots of tools and household stuff. Lots of buyers out enjoying the sunshine but difficult to keep an eye on everybody rifling through our stuff. I know I had 3 items stolen, at least they'll find a new home. I had 3 items left over which may be...

If you're already on the Makita platform it might be the most economic route to continue on if you have suitable batteries. The cordless machines are going to be quieter than their corded equivalents but the batteries may make them heavier and less comfortable to use. With cordless router and...

Could you use aluminium T-section? 1/2 inch was the smallest I could find online, but it could cut down to 10mm. To get the domed cap make a jig to hold the stem of the T but with clearance at the top to enable it to be bent down to give a droopy T. Food for thought. Brian

Are these brass screws or brassed steel screws? Look like the latter to me. Brian

Restroom is where you do the rest, ie, all the unmentionables

Are those Bristol levers an addition put on by the retailer? The Charnwood promotion photo shows just a simple pair of screws. In normal use I would say they're superfluous. How often are you going to sanding 10"+ boards. These open ended sanders have been sold and used for years with no such...
