I'd concur with the advice to see a physio and perhaps find out the root cause of the pain as a good shout - I damaged a rotator cuff a few years back in a nasty fall I had involving a flight of stairs and a concrete floor and saw a physio at a sports clinic that had sprung up during the...

Fascinating Andy, do you know the derivation of the rulers name Coggeshall? I live nearby the village of that name in Essex where there is a stunning 16th Century Tudor merchants dwelling - Paycockes House, well worth a visit if you are passing by!

Hi Steve - just looked at the Axi site and see the one you have, I guess kinda horses for courses as to which to use, with mine I effectively had to fab the guide upon which the tail slides - that's what the stepped lip is for behind the screw, and this allowed me to screw the bottom wooden...

Hi Steve - good looking bench and a great solution to the achieve the depth required for the tail vice! I built my bench back in 2011 and ended up building the main benchtop out of 40mm depth material and then added a 100mm x 100mm apron on the front to not only give sufficient depth to mount...

Bad luck... also don't believe what you may read on your medical record via the NHS app, it is heavily censored and omits many salient details. This is all part of the NHS's strategy of 'keeping the patient informed' whilst withholding any useful information you might use to challenge their...

Hi Gav, what size motor have you fitted? /Ed

One aspect to be conscious of - and a lot depends where in the UK you are, however wind protection particularly in relation to the roof is an important aspect. My shop was in an exposed position and we had up until recently fields front and back beyond my boundaries and I used plenty of metal...

As I stated I'm no expert, however anything that provides some cooling and whatever WD-40 is determined to be does help - heck back in the day folks regularly used plain water to aid cooling/chip removal... /Ed

Hi Andrew - thanks for the reply. For sure that looks a far neater hinge in comparison to the square knuckled ones and either open or closed achieves far more pleasing lines!. WRT price - it's a long time since I've done any hinged cabinetry so maybe a little out of touch with current day prices...

I'm not a pro, and am sure others who are will chime in however I find that unless you are increment drilling there is a tendency to catch since you inadvertently apply more pressure on a small area, however as the diameter goes up, so does the torque required to cut cleanly. Paradoxically if as...

I had to take a look at their website to get my head around why such a simple change alters the geometry in terms of fitment and still haven't quite got my head around it! It must be - although not so obvious in your pictures above that the upper half of the hinge must be rotating about a...

That type of alligator jaw grip are not meant to be disassembled - as you pull the pipe up the angled tabs will just dig in harder.. Two options - Try inserting a shim of high density polythene sheet under the tabs - easing it under one by one until you have them all resting on it, and then...

Simply stunning!

I have used TuffSaws blades for years, and agree they are good, however even with them cutting with a slide they wear to the point of no return after 12 or so cuts. As Jacob says, if I had scored a line along the length and had cut by eye I could have achieved a better result.. Being self...

I like your jig and you seem to be getting superb repeat thickness cuts with it - I'm impressed! I too have a Kity 613 and have tried similar techniques using sliding jigs in the T-slots - I have the luxury of a spindle moulder so machining the runners is easily done in hardwood and if...

I'd recommend tung oil, pretty cheap and easy to apply. Dependant upon source and air temperature it can be quite viscous out the tin, however I always apply one or 2 coats thinned 50/50 with turps or similar as this helps the oil to soak into the wood, especially on the end-grain, and then when...

I'd add that both Osmo's longevity and UV resistance is low, this is my front door fabbed out of Sapele10y apart, partially sheltered albeit it does catch the setting sun...

My Father being ex-RN in WW-II had a rich stock of verbal put-downs, one I remember well when you'd transgressed to the point of physical violence was - If you do that again I'll hit you so hard you'll have to stick a toothbrush up your @RSE to clean your teeth.... o_O /Ed

I use this company and the products are good quality and way cheaper than any others have quoted, and they have a fixed price delivery charge of £12.95. Huge range and they are also very helpful if you need advice, Ed Ductstore
