    Jet 16-32 Drum-sander

    From the exploded diagram it looks like the feed is one unit, and no separate parts of it listed, so its unlikely unless you contact Jet direct, you'll find that specific part for sale But given what it is I would look more to either a repair, or find someone with a lathe to make it. If a...

    Sharpening drills

    Can we remove 'sharpening' from the thread title before Jacob turns up :LOL: I've been long thinking about getting the Proxxon drill sharpener. It isnt cheap at £160, but its one of those purchases you make once and own for decades. Nothing better than a sharp drill bit, and nothing worse than...

    portable chisel storage

    Perhaps a dartboard would be best. TBH I dont see the point of making a super smart box to keep chisels and saws etc in. That seems more about adoration of the tools rather than using them for what they are. Maybe put them in a glass case so you can sit and stare lovingly at them.

    No Dig Footer

    Same in Scotland. Even getting a tent peg in can take several tries. I think the end should have some sort of fitting so you can attach a big SDS to it, and maybe hammer your way through any underground obstructions

    Who's got it better US or UK Woodworkers?

    The US. Place is massive and due to the American dream thing, theres always lots of companies willing to fill the needs of the consumer As to training, I'd say it has to be Scotland. I did 4 years at college(Glasgow college of Building and printing) and it didnt cost me a penny. Of course...

    Putty advice for sash windows

    Linseed putty has always been the traditional putty for windows. And if it aint broke, dont fix it. My experience of anything silicon is it just doesnt last. It unsticks itself and in many cases(bathrooms/kitchens peels away. No probs trying new products, but i dont think anyone wants to...

    US Election November 5th

    Obviously we cant know what really motivates them, either quest for power, or a wish to free themselves from under the oppression of the Israelis But I would say that in WW2, the French resistance paid little attention to the suffering of the French people(reprisal killings etc) they took it...
