Thanks again to @Phil Pascoe for the link to Paul Sellers video. Complete refurb performed on a very rusty No4, came out nicely and seems to work quite well? The old oak solid floor offcut that I planed down wasn't easy to work, possibly because it's been stacked in my garage for 17 years...

Practiced a few hand skills over this weekend. Turned a 20mm thick offcut of old flooring board into 2 x 8mm thick halves. Japanese pull saw, hand plane. Also experimented with different finishing

Worktop now secured to the frame and the gaping hole filled at the far end. Invested in a vice frame, but not sure which spot to install it in? I'm thinking the top one?

You're first phrase - you're just doing it again Is inheritance tax "destroying generational farming"? Or do we have to wait a while and see? You're next phrase. What if I told you that *since the original announcement* that Private Schools would fall under the scope of VAT, the number of...

I don't understand. Not just yourself. But when people say stuff like "moved back", I don't understand on what basis that they claim this. It's only been around 3 months. Nothing really has settled yet. We have 5 years. And normally the people that claim negative outcomes (which have yet to...

I know exactly what you mean - I have a fair few things that I need to finish in my 90% complete shed - and as the saying goes, it's always the last 10% that takes 90% of the time. eek 🤪 I hope not... I'm also planning on doing some cabinetry//drawers but I'm gonna do a bit of hobby work in...

That was a great video - thanks Phil (y)

Exactly what Bingy man said above. Other tips would be to place post in first before the concrete mix and support/fix the post in some way so that it doesn't move when adding the mix. I have dug holes a little bit deeper and put some hardcore in the bottom so that the end of the post is not in...

Damn it. I used it specifically because it's labelled as a D3 variant. This is where my lack of experience shows... And thanks for the compliment.

I bought this and this about 8 weeks ago and am pleased with the both nozzle on the CA and the action of the activator: Both from the big river retailer

That's definitely on my job list now - thanks - a useful skill-building project

Thanks - the blue I bought for my recent outdoor work - in particular these: And for my shed windows as well. I'd kinda forgotten about lap joints - possibly because I'd mentally categorised them as "table saw" work and not "hand tool" work, but worth a re-think as well - thank you. I do...

Hey, yeah - very nice choice of contrasting wood and I'm a total sucker for spalted. I gave that a thumbs up shortly after you posted it on that thread

Already got that stored for future me in my mind's eye. Contrasting wood for the top panel. Nice. I fact, that's why I asked about veneer glue. A burl veneer top panel, in a contrasting colour is something my future self might like to try? This weekend is when it begins...

Received and replied thanks. (y) By 'eck, I'm damn nervous.

Cool - thanks. I have this stuff already:

Great minds - I've already got a few bits n pieces of old furniture broken down and stashed in the shed (y) Another little job I'm looking to do at some point is to replace a bathroom storage box that looks something like this: planning to use some of the broken hardwood furniture boards...

Is that for the veneer glue question?

First off - those are really nice boxes - probably be a while before I have anywhere near enough skill to pull that off successfully - but that of course is the eventual aim :) I've looked at hinges already in the attempt to judge thickness of sides and the list is endless, so that was no help...

Yep - I do have table-saw - and previously made a crosscut sled for my old Einhell that I just need to replace the sliders on for the replacement Evolution table. I understand exactly what you mean with the dovetail spacing on cut boxes - I watched a few YT vids of *perfectly* aligned and cut...
