    ****ing boiler system...

    As dizjasta said, fluctuating water flow sounds like a supply problem with air in the supply somewhere. Your F22 problem 'could' have been related to air in your supply also as when you top the system up the air will pressurise the system, however once it circulates around it will be vented out...

    Anyone making good money from tables?

    I'd say look on the web at what things are priced at I searched bespoke dining table and there are plenty of sites (Etsy, Ennis and Brown, tommarshfurniture) were three early hits. Think about the fit and finish of what you are making and how it compares, then workout your hours, materials...

    Router and Router Table advice

    I'd say a spindlemoulder is overkill for your work so don't stress that. What I dislike about my router table (a Triton multipurpose table thing) is that the insert plate is not completely flush (<1mm) with the table top but when the work piece passes over this it causes a step in the finished...

    What are these woods like to work with?

    Hard maple is not hard on your tools, it is simply a species of maple where the timber is harder than the other species. Sycamore (another in the same tree family : Janka Hardness = 3,500N European Oak : Janka Hardness = 6,000N Hard maple : Janka Hardness = 6,500N Lignum Vitae : Janka Hardness...

    Moulding plane trivia

    But did you know that before, or rediscover the necessity of whilst making the wedge? I love those ah-ha moments when something becomes clear.

    Dewalt DW1150 switch

    You threw my there as by dw1150 does not have that type of switch. It has a NVR with a red stop mushroom, mounted facing out horizontally from the motor body. I can see the same arrangement as part 56 on a similar diagram A photo from the op would help. Replacing the original with a...

    Garden shed - ventilation for foil based cold roof

    If you were building a house with a £50k roof structure and which you may want to sell in the future then the hybrid roof issue would be very important. eg surveyors don't like spray foam as they can't assess the timber structure, then the mortgage companies won't give mortgages and before you...

    Lean to shed design

    In both designs you will I expect get water ingress at the corner between brick wall and cladding, your design has a lower risk due to the overhang but with the correct wind direction it would still be likely. You would need a flashing from behind your cladding that extends over the top of the...

    Startrite 352 problem (Resolved)

    Lots of folks on here with that machine. Some photos will help them all I expect. I used to have one so with some photos may remember, but others have the machine to hand so could compare.

    Bandsaw advice

    My experience with the band-saw is it cuts amazingly when the blade is brand new, then as the blade looses the initial razor sharpness you have to push harder in the cut. Subsequently the tension in the blade is more important, so a heavier frame is beneficial. Additionally the motor has to work...

    Garden shed - ventilation for foil based cold roof

    Video is great, so much easier to see what you are faced with. My opinion: - Will adding multifoil insulation help? Yes. - Will ventilating the cavity be better that not ventilating? Yes - Mould paint? No point, if it gets that wet you have bigger issues. Best thing you can do it manage the...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    How's the stability of the stool? I made a similar side table a few years back, likely 100-150mm taller than your stool, and it had a real tendency to vibrate or dance across the solid floor if knocked.

    Dining Room Carver Chairs - Take 2

    Looking great! I've never tried to reproduce something as complicated as this but the process of looking at a piece, understanding it's construction, the stresses it is managing, and then replicating form and function is something I really enjoy.

    Severance negotiations

    My employer has the same requirement that to access certain company info, email and some file repositories, then the device needs to sign up to company security profile that would enable them to wipe my device. However, there is no requirement to have my works email on my phone and so i don't...

    New Garage roof options

    I doubt you’ll get a firm answer of grp or epdm. Both have pros and cons but both would be suitable. I’m epdm biased, having done 3 roofs with it. I’d be using a single piece to avoid the welding need. I did a 6x4 in a single piece, more area than you have, it was heavy but manageable. If you...

    Glazing

    I used hodgson heritage putty on a DG window and it was fine for squeeze out, tool was pretty messy but likely some operator error there.

    Glue spreader?

    I saw that episode and the spreader caught my eye also, for a thicker glue like PU or epoxy I think it looks good, for PVA i like something more brush like.

    Porsche

    I looked an electric Porsche a few years back, great car and fit all my needs, but it had a 2.5yr estimated waiting list. Who can know it'll still be the correct car that far in the future! The Macan has always been the fugly Porsche, and in that colour it's even worse.

    Thicknesser advice

    The stepup in quality, and weight, from the Metabo/Dewalt/RP machines in the second hand market takes you into older cast iron machines. Like the sedgwick that you linked, or machines by wadkin, startrite etc. As with any second hand machine condition is key, your ability to spot things like...
