Well done! I don't envy you that job at all. We once had a new cat/kitten that had a fetish for mains leads and before he was 12 months had old bitten through the leads of the table and standard lamps, television and the tubular heater in the office BUT only when they were switched on...and...

I was taught that painted work left a penny thickness gap on door fitting. Cabinet work one half-penny at top, bottom and sides, a penny gap between two closing doors with an asragal bead. I still have some fine hard steel points used to secure them, driven far enough to hold then snapped off.

Thank you both for your replies, I have passed on your info, gratefully received.

For certain it will go in your car with legs and both tables removed. Depending on your combined strength fitness etc you may be able to leave the fixed in-feed table in place as long as you don't use it as a lifting point. This will save having to remove the cut depth adjustment screw. If the...

Sorry, I forgot to add (see Terry above) that when it's raining you'll potentially need an 18ft long workshop to plane a 6ft board, unless you are happy to start from an open door! (How do I know?!)

"Axminster seemed to offer Bandsaws in the £1k range that could resaw up to 12"" That is serious machine! Do you mean 'resaw' or capable of cutting 12" wide stock flat on the bed? I have the 10" Axminster Workshop model and find it difficult to imagine why I would want larger. Good luck Doug

Yes, there is quite a jump.

I'm trying to help a neighbour who wants to paint the outside faces of some oak kitchen units which are all in good condition in a deep red/maroon colour. (Is there a feminine version of the mid-life crisis? ) I've recommended sorting out any hinge/ handle problems first, washing down thoroughly...

Don't sweat it if you find a 52 1/2 and not a dog model because with a suitable piece of hardwood, in this case Canadian Rock Elm fashioned with a horseshoe cut-out to clear the screw and a sauncy piece of wood (cut with vertical grain) for the moving cheek you can fashion a good dog that you...

Thanks Rewby, I shall look at that next week, I don't want to spend any more SLW tokens than I have to. The one provided does look as though it was designed to trap as many chippings as it can!

It is not extremely noisy but I'm comparing it with a 6" planer with a crude steel hood to eject chippings when thicknessing. Surface planing (only up to 6" wide so far) is quieter, less noisy than my 1/2" router. I'm not cheek by jowel with my neighbours but exercise simple considerations...

As I rarely watch the 'I diots Lantern' these days I enjoy reading geriatric threads and see no harm in resurrecting subjects with newer relevant input. PS Edited, as the Bowdlerising Machine changed the phrase in parenthesis to 'Silly persons Lantern'

Hullo! I have no experience of paint pads, I presume they are for pre-coating flat material as I can't see how one would get into corners et cetera? Incidentally, the Rustins clear helps to beef up the very thin outer veneers on cheap multiply prior to sanding. At about £10/litre it's worth...

Priming - Any MDF will benefit from two coats of Rustins MDF primer. I apply both coats with a 4" fleece roller and lay off the second as I go with a 3" wide brush of the sort used by artists to varnish their paintings, very flat, usually with an unpainted flat wooden handle. The roller makes...

Welcome, I see it is equipped with a major essential, to whit a kettle!

If so, scrape that back and give the rest a good rub over with a green abrasive primed with white spirit, then a wipe over with a clean cloth and more WS, allow to dry then 2 coats of coloured Sadolin.

Surely it is only the triangular rain shedder that is different?
