I think it's a great tool. I live in London so house security is not really a problem, I can understand people that live miles from anywhere wanting keep things a little secretive. I use it to find business that I've never visited before and have often decided against visiting some timber...

Waiting like a dog for a bone.

Exactly what I'm finding. It's sand perfectly and it has maintained a good 'thickness' on the edges so am relatively happy. Should have the blend of paint and thinners and also the needle opening about right for when I attempt the coloured finish. A proper DIY spray lesson that I've learnt and...

You're not wrong. And what a slope it is, looked at the Barrell Grip Jigsaw they do today in my local Festool dealer and I have talked myself into getting it. I have a perfectly good Bosch one at the moment but it's not that lovely Black & Green colour. Madness. Some people dream of buying a...

Would be perfect, unfortunately the Gazebo has the large piece of Magnolia drying under it and the weather has been terrible here, there was even a report of snow!!. I have bought 3 dust sheets so should be able to contain more of the over spray, I'm in a small workshop and everything seems to...

Hope you don't mind Matt_S but I have done a similar post to yours showing my process of spraying. Thanks for your help and advise. Patrick https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/post476159.html#476159

It is indeed, I am a bit of a camera fan, my Leica D-Lux 3, to go along with some other Leicas that I just must have. I shall be intouch once I'm ready for my final coat on my units. Thanks Simon https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/post476159.html#476159

Hello folks. This is a sort of continuation from Matt_S post. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/desk-shelving-unit-t40172.html Thanks to Matt, Paul & Simon (Oryxdesign) for the previous help from the post above. I'll give you a call Simon before putting the coloured coat on. This is my...

^. I've got the Pre-filters, just not fitted yet as I just changed the old filter's and forgot about taking them off. I'm with you on the contrast of the Dominos against the painted face, I was thinking of getting some 'Sipo' dominos to see what they looked like. My first spraying attempt so...

Thanks for your help Matt & Paul. I got the paint from Morrells and unfortunately 'Steve' wasn't there but still got 25% off. Just one last question if you don't mind. Like you I am using the Dominos as shelf supports. Did you A) Spray the units with the dominos in place. B) Clean up the holes...

Thanks Paul. I'll check out Morrells in Park Royal tomorrow, cheers for finding that for me. I saw there was another thread that you had commented on and I need to sit down and read it properly. Seemed to be getting a bit heated with the Egg Shell debate. Saint Patrick's day so hopefully will...

Fantastic. This post could not have come at a better time for me. I promised the mother in law that I would build some MDF cupboards for her in her storage room. I could do with a little more information about your build. I'm using 18mm all around and like you will use Dominos for movable...

+1. Why all the negative vibes?. I'm going on Friday and have never been to a woodwork show. I'm quiet excited, even growing a beard so I don't look out of place!!!.

^. I did indeed make a compass type jig. Screwed a hole in the middle of the piece, ran the jigsaw round first which gave about 1.5mm to remove with the router. This is where I had to sort of 'Jiggle' the router down onto the piece, not ideal but you work with what you have. I'm making a...

A quickly made fixed MDF thing. I'm still at an early stage of woodworking so still need to start making templates and all the other little home made products that make life a lot easier.

Hang on, I'm not mental. I'm not about to plunge a 20,000rpm bit into a solid bit of Oak by hand. I've done some stupid things in life but nothing like that. LOL. I ran the jigsaw round first on a self made compass thingy. With the top/bottom router bit, once you remove the bottom bearing you...

Well here it is, delivered in the girlfriends flat. First words where, "It's big isn't it?". Some things that I encountered. -The new top/bottom router bit was razor sharp so tare out was not an issue, took my time and made sure I moved the bit away from the work when I needed to change...

Very nice. I have just installed a standard Magnet kitchen in the girlfriends new flat and I found myself in shock at the build quality. Would love to have the chance to make and fit my own kitchen one day. By the way I attached the 'End of worktop edging piece...... by clamping 4 metal...

Is that thing even legal in this country?. I take it you don't use that 'thing' with....

Thanks all for your input. I have gone for the Wealden Multi Trim. Will come back here to have a proper read before I commence on the work. Cheers.
