One of the members of our wood turning club makes the urns he sells to fill from the bottom. A plywood disc screwed over the recessed hole with four screws seals it in place. Felt could be glued over it if they want to hide it. Easier to make the plywood fit a hole than to get a good fit using...

Ask him if he would consider take down hardware. If he went on an another airplane he wouldn't have to saw it apart again...

There is a UK division of 3M. The information on each of their products has a Where To Buy button. You can buy or order from the ones nearest or offering the best prices. I never use Scotch-Brite to sand bare wood. It follows the surface and removes more of the softer material in the growth...

I'll fess up. I don't have or use any rail and stile bits primarily because I have preferred a Shaker style door with eased edges all made using the table saw. I knew of the type of bit you needed so posted and saw the speed limitation on the Freud page for the bits I linked. Bigger bits should...

The Gifkins jig is supposed to be one of the easiest to use. Gifkins Dovetail-Australian made dovetail jigs - Gifkins Dovetail Unfortunately they are more than you can spend. I'm pretty sure I have seen imitators that work on the same principle for less. Pete

I think you should be looking for an adjustable set. They allow for different panel thicknesses. Example below. https://www.freudtools.com/products/99-760 Pete Note these are big bits and have speed limitations so you will need to have a router with a speed control dial to slow the router down.

So if I read this right your house is held together with paint? 🤔 😂 Pete

Caswell is a possible source for compounds and wheels. The Canadian site has information on it. I suspect the UK site might but couldn't find it quickly. Similar companies might also have the same kind of information. Pete

Not traditional but you can make it with 4 pieces and glue it together. Use a table saw or mitre saw to cut the front and back to get the right bed angle and mouth. Glue the cheeks on. The wedge can bear on notches in the cheeks or a cross pin. Pete

I would measure the amount of "twist". Then I would clamp it with shims to over correct at least 100%. Then release and see if the over bending helped and by how much. Now you know how much to over bend the frame and can do it once more with more shims, hopefully getting the frame right and...

On people getting mad when corrected. As children we were corrected as we learned. Then we went to school and received more corrections up to the point when we graduated. I think by then people were tired of being corrected and for some when corrected now it now it digs into the core of their...

Miele vacuum cleaners can have a HEPA final stage filter (after the bag) put into them. Hey are roughly 90 x 180. A piece of the bag cut to fit would make a decent pre filter. One downside is the are not cheap. Don’t know how they compare cost-wise to other filters. An option to ponder. Pete

Spooky isn't it? We are for the more part old and very set in our ways. It is logical to assume we are going to repeat ourselves regularly. It is logical to assume we are going to repeat ourselves regularly. It is logical to assume we are going to repeat ourselves regularly. Re-Pete 😉

Isn't that what you end up with after the gut surgeon is finished an operation on you? Pete Edited to correct my own grammar mistake before someone red marks it.

I will leave others to comment on your grammar but no punctuation! How could you? :dunno: 😉 Pete

Searching for "saddle washers" will get you round ones and adding square to it will get you a few. Pete Unless I am missing something a round one would work the same.

If you make a change in the row or column boxes the size changes under the preview heading. Length and width or near/far and side to side if you prefer. 😉 It doesn't seem to let you pick a size and work backwards to the dimensions of the little pieces that make up the board so there are some...

Play with the Thickness arrows and you can go to any thickness you like. I quit at 40"/1M because who would ever make a cutting board any where near that. Pete

You should look into the McNaughton Centre Saver system. It has a straight chisel and progressively more curved chisels to cut everything from cones to half spherical shapes. It would allow you to part off the back of a bowl to get a piece suitable for a picture frame or what ever. You could...

The heat losses of a sand battery in the driveway would be nice for keeping the snow melted. ❄️ 😊 ❄️ Never mind if you don't know what snow is. :dunno: Pete
