Out of the 2 possibilities you give I would suggest the latter is the more likely Brian

The classic way is moisture and heat provided by a damp rag and a hot iron. Being plywood it may not be 100% successful if the underlying plys are bruised. As you say it's a bit of workshop kit so its going to get some more abuse in the future. I would not attempt to sand it just to make it...

I agree it's not ideal, but in this situation compromise is required. My suggested fabrication could be rearranged to give a less fiddly glue up:- These parts could be glued into a stile rebate as separate items. @metso's description refers to a beading cut in. This is a little ambiguous. Is...

Welcome to the Glos chapter Brian

I've traced from your photo and have found that the curve is actually circular, not eliptical. It's radius is 15mm:- My first thought was to find a router cutter with R=15 and set it up at an angle, but the largest R in a reasonably priced cutter is 12.7mm. My next thought was to create the...

Here's an example of how our language is changing; irreversibly it would seem. I even heard P. William, sorry, P. of Wales (does that make him a POW?) get it wrong recently. In Fergie's case above his 'I' is the, or one of the, objects of the sentence and should therefore be 'me'. I suspect...

Check out Metals4U. 20mm of 3" for £4 + P&P, if I'm not mistaken. Brian

Just waiting for voice recognition ordering to be introduced. I'll be be testing it out with fork 'andles. Brian

I've had a Tormek for 20 years but it rarely gets used these days. A bench grinder and stone (water in my case) combo is a much quicker option. I only keep the Tormek for sharpening planer blades. Brian

It's supposed to signify things spiralling out of control

Like it or loath it?

It all started a couple of weeks ago when our thermostatic shower valve finally gave up the ghost. It was going to cost me £130 to buy something with similar dimensions. The alternative was a lower spec simple manual control valve for £100 less. It arrived today so I set about fitting it right...

I went to Screwfix a few days ago and noticed the screens had been installed but were not yet operational. For some years if have frequented Toolstation in preference to Screwfix. I usually do the research online and followed by a click & collect order. My wife often picks it up while she's out...

You have got machine that is designed to move large volumes of air. Restricting that flow by reducing the pipe size will be detrimental. The way to overcome your dilemma is to provide an alternative flow path in addition to your 65mm pipe. A method to do this and give some control to the setup...

I've just checked the screws and chipbreakers from my Clifton 5.1/2, Record 4 and LN8 blade (fitted to a Stanley8). Guess what, they're all interchangeable for thread if not length. So @Peter Sefton 's offer looks a good shout. Brian PS Buy one and the old one will miraculously appear

I suggest you amend the title of this post to include reference to the LN4 plane. This may catch the attention of LN owners who might be able give details of the screw. Just a thought Brian

I'm in the same position, aids and specs. I have the aids working as normal in the shop. I have a pair of defenders which originally had a radio but is now removed. They are quite roomy and accommodate the aids well. The only problem is that they press on the spec arms which becomes...

That's an unfortunate username for somebody with 35 years experience. Do you regularly cause things to blow up?

Is there anything unusual about your water supply pipes? A friend of mine once connected a water supply in his garage to a sink in the kitchen. Unfortunately the clear plastic connecting pipe ran across the garage roof in full daylight. The resulting algae broke away and came out of the...

Yes, I fitted an AQ21 on my oak front door. Same fitting all the way round in the frame so it compresses on the hinge side and wipes on the other side, top and bottom. I bought a Trend router cutter to do the job and sold it on afterwards for almost the new price. Brian
