Hello and welcome 🤗

Hi and welcome- we’ll talk about throwing yourself into the deep end 😂 limited experience and a combination machine to get to grips with and then what sounds like quite a complicated project . Well good luck ( sorry I can’t help with your parts but as they are safety related part’s please be...

Hello and welcome, sorry for your loss it’s never easy losing a friend or family member but you can ask about pretty much anything and as above be prepared for multiple opinions. Anyway good to have you 🤗🤗

All the above ideas are solid advice but tbh the matches work for me in most cases , the exception is where multiple hinges have over time been fitted and the screw size’s get bigger and bigger. If that’s the case I’ll drill and use glue and dowels. The hinge drills really help to get the pilot...

I use cooks matches ( large ) soaked in pva and hammer in two or 3 depending on the hole size , let it dry overnight and then slice them off with sharp chisel the next day . Using a hinge drill helps get the hinge hole’s central- good shout on the mitre fast 🤔🤔

Many thanks- tech is not my strong point..

Nice looking bit of kit but looks heavy hence not really portable. I could be wrong but unfortunately I don’t speak German.😳😳

If the timber releases tension as you cut it can close up on the blade trapping it . To this issue I only have 1 clamp which can be fitted to the left or right (dw 708 ) one thing I’ve not seen unless I’ve missed it is when cutting at 45 deg is to make sure your blade doesn’t foul the fence ...

I’d also suggest plus gas -if possible create a dam around the screw and soak it overnight. As well as the impact driver suggestion a sss ( short sharp shock ) from a centre punch can help break the bond followed by more plus gas . As plus gas is flammable a small amount could be ignited to...

Greetings and welcome 🤗

Hi there- I’m trying to understand your post regarding your concern with new doors as you say you would have to trim more than the allowed amount- so are the new doors a lot wider than the existing frames ? You then mention facing them with 12 mm plywood each side to make up the difference...

Worked in many places in east and West Sussex and Surrey . Fond memories 🤗🤗

Atm I’m chest deep in fitting bathrooms at a friends house . It’s been a 2 year on and off project but it’s very close to completion. I’ll be able to blow the dust of the workshop tools and finally get back to actual wood working..

Wow ,, those scotch bonnets look amazing, 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sorry to hear of your health issues and especially selling your tools etc , tbh I hope I never have to face this myself but I take my hat off to your for passing on your tools to others rather than they just slowly rust away . As above keep in touch and all the best with both your move and your...

Nice 👌, I see a well organised selection of planes and a veritas mk2 jig …nothing obsessive at all ,, hope the freehand gods aren’t watching lol 😂😂

Welcome to ukw It already sounds like it would be cheaper and easier to just buy new sleeper’s and leave the wall alone but as above much more information and photos reqd - to understand your situation.

Hi joe- welcome to ukw - my favourite part of the country is West Sussex. Nice job on the cabinet. It looks stunning..

Agreed it’s no different to woodworking tools or any other trade but take a basic Stanley smoothing plane that’s not that expensive but will need some work to get it ready for use, now compare it to a lie Nielsen which is out of my budget but this said they don’t offer a lifetime guarantee as...

I think those of us that pay a premium price for tools and equipment etc do do because of the inherent quality and the lifetime guarantee. Like most things it’s a choice you make but when the cheap inferior quality tool breaks eg a spanner then it’s your knuckles that get smashed into parts of...
