    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    I think the green in the wood might be ok with the green of wine bottles, also, taking the walnut spines right the way through instead of just at the joints is a nice feature. Sorry to be picky but I have to ask, was swapping the darker grain one side the the other and back a consious choice...

    Dust mask for spraying voc's

    I've had 2 of these now and will buy again when it wears out: https://www.screwfix.com/p/draeger-x-pl ... p3rd/39216 iirc, they come with basic dust filters, and you buy the p3's but the P3 filters have a handy thing that you can clip on cotton pre-filters to catch MDF dust and the like, so...

    Wardrobe

    ouch - worth trying to see if they will take it back for a re-stocking fee, usually 15% or so.

    Penetrating Expoy

    I've used CA - the really runny kind - for small areas of soft wood and it works a treat, it depends on the size of the area the OP is asking about.

    Penetrating Expoy

    This is the best scenario - however if this is beyond your skill level or the rot is a small concealable patch - rather than running right through it - you could use "wet rot wood hardener" - which is a .. *cough*.. penetrating epoxy that will harden up "spongy" wood, sufficiently for most...

    Selling my fathers woodworking machines

    This - or there is a Bristol FB marketplace section - I would however get ideas of prices from this site rather than ebay, because they will either be under or overpriced, you'd have to get a good sample of sales to average it out which will take time. As you are in Bristol, there are also...

    TV ads - Funeral plans for the over 50's

    You say that but I like the idea of those wicker burials with a tree - seems only fair to me, all things considered. As for the inheritance - despite my father being worth a fair bit I've told him (and his 3rd wife) multiple times to do what he (they) like with it - not my money, I didn't earn...

    Router table top issue?

    Sorry Sunny - didn't see this reply - £250 was all in - Dewalt router (with iffy speed controller fixed for about £6) set of trend bits, the larger UKJ top (new £180), musclechuck, several other router bits, and the matching UKJ split fence sytem for the table (£120 odd new). Oh and the addon...

    Another safety cautionary tale...

    No that was: 5 hours lying on the floor with my feet on a chair waiting for a doctor. 2 .5 hours to be confirmed they would give me an MRI - lying on the floor with my feet on a chair. 20 minutes of MRI. 5.5 hours lying on a bed waiting for MRI scan results to be seen by neurosurgeon. 40...

    Another safety cautionary tale...

    I thought I'd post this as I know we all sometimes move larger items we've made, bags of tools or timber and probably pay little heed to potential issues. So... sunday I was moving my Kity 419 tablesaw, which I've done probably several hundred times without incident, it's 25kg give or take...

    I personally wouldn't say the base is too wide; If I were making it I'd have made the base as wide as the lampshade, so you've got visual symmetry top and bottom, so you're not far off an that score, and I think it looks the better for it - to my eye's anyway. Lovely work, I remember your post...

    Internal reading Tape measure.

    You're slacking there Bm101 - you need to get yourself a "sits on desk in front of me" tape, so when people post measurements or things you buy, you can check them visually. Oh and a "glove box" tape too. Not sure how your snobby tapes will go down with your "old guard" #7 jointer - he's a...

    Nice table, but did you ask "A" and "C" which end of the table they preferred? :wink:

    When I am in charge!

    Quite a lot. It's an overused word, with no real understanding. Often mistaken for "feeling a bit upset / down / discouraged / low spirits / stressed.... and almost all other TEMPORARY negative emotions, that pretty much everyone feels a few times a year. "I always get depressed around...

    When I am in charge!

    Won't work - because those of us brung up right, will hold it in or get off - move away - do something to mitigate it. Those who don't care, don't care, even if standing in a cloud of green toxic gas. They'll just stand there and look at you with the expression "I farted, it stinks, I had...

    When I am in charge!

    We could have a "get it off your chest mate - go on have a good /rant." thread. Only rule, no racism, religionism (or whatever) no errm "hate speech" as it pertains to specific groups of people; dunno how else to say it, you know what I mean. I'll prolly be first, it's cheaper than a shrink -...

    When I am in charge!

    Oh trust me saying "soliciting" in a court room will get you stern faces and an immediate "I object" from just about everyone except me - coz I was the one saying it - oh and a warning from the judge without actually explaining what I'd done wrong. "I don't know anything about soliciting" -...

    Detail sander

    Well peoples terms are different so I hedged my bets, your request was a little light on information. - the mouse while only 55w isn't doing the work, the paper is. Start with a harsh grit like 60g, that'll get rid of the muck in the corners in pretty short order, then work up the grits to...

    Favorite YouTube woodworker

    Another good channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm8CRH ... dbA/videos Only found this tonite, does long videos so you've been warned, but explains pretty much everything that's going on, with "tips" being thrown in as he uses them. His three daughters (plus others) also help with...
