    Floating shelf advice needed.

    You can buy resin from screwfix that doesn't require a special gun and just uses a normal silicone gun https://www.screwfix.com/p/easyfix-kem- ... 0wodP-sBzw From personal recent experience the vinylester (water based - non smelly) resin sets well when used in quantity but not so well when not...

    End grain table top problem

    Going back to the OP's question of "how can I fix the staining problem" there is a technique used in handpainting designs onto cloth with dyes which obviously suffers from the same bleed through effect, and that is to use a "blocker" - it's a liquid that inhibits the bleed through and used as a...

    Nick Offerman vid.

    hahahahaaaa haha - why doesn't this have any replies - this guy is funny, that laugh @ 2.23 had me roaring I almost choked on my coffee, you can even hear the production staff laughing. Many thanks for sharing.

    Motor car insurance.

    Another year and another post about this - I've had my renewal email quoting £40 MORE this year compared to last, assuming Admiral understand the whole "no claims discount" thing, adding another year to the tally. One telephone call plus some googling to check competitors and ..... from £595...

    Luban Spokeshaves - Are they any good?

    Having used Eriks one I was going to say "wot he said", but he beat me to it. It was easy to use and control, certainly nicer than my stanley, shame he keeps it in a locked box.....

    scammer scammed.

    haha that gave me a laugh, but saddens me that clearly people fall for it, or scammers would have given up doing this years ago.

    Electronic vernier accuracy

    I'm sorry, a TEN FOOT vernier calliper?

    Funky coloured machines

    I agree - that's really funky, and doing something like that will also increase yours (and hopefully others) conscience to care for the machine a bit more.

    Kity P/T engineering issues

    Really glad to hear your table is fixed "better than new", Steve, and hopefully you'll be able to help any others with similar issue down the road. Knowing guys with heavy machinery always helps :)

    How many of you own surface planers?

    I rest my case :) - CONSTRUCTION grade woodwork. LFS by all means look for a secondhand good model - as I said mine is AT LEAST 3rd hand to me as the seller told me he'd bought it from another guy years earlier and used it a lot making rocking horses. There are some smaller models (non floor...

    How many of you own surface planers?

    LFS - do yourself a favor - set fire to your electric planer. Now - right now, even if you are at work, drive home and destroy it. They are an abomination meant for construction grade "woodwork" and will give you pinapple poor results almost every time. Sure people use them, quite often for...

    How many of you own surface planers?

    I've just seen there's an axminster one for sale in the market place on the forum - yes it's £600 - which might make your eyes water a little, BUT if it were I - I'd buy it, it's even in Yorkshire. Don't wait - just do it :) - at the VERY least go look at it and get a demonstration. As for...

    Machine Surface Planing Does Perfection Exist?

    Now show me the certification that that square is square :) OP I fell down that hole myself - but learned that what everyone else is saying is true - if YOU think it's good enough, the customer absolutely will not see it, assuming ofc you don't have an inherantly sloppy "that'll do" mentality...

    How many of you own surface planers?

    About four years ago I bought a 3rd or 4th hand old dewalt DW1150 P/T (still cost £450) and used it primarily for small personal stuff, but I've also used it to clean and dimension reclaimed boards to make a tabletop. Just before xmas last year I put over a 100, rough as rough can be, old...

    A plea to the moderators and Charley

    He didn't say "cut if off" - he simply asked for it to be moved - if a person asks a question and someone gives an on topic reply, great. IF the same replying person feels they wish to add extra that is either partially or fully offtopic then the "contentious issues" section could be where that...

    Tree Felling Fails

    Some were clearly staged, but some also gave me butt clenching moments, that car at 2:28 for example, I dearly hope it was right hand drive and no-one else was in it.

    Mens Sheds

    A community workshop that caters to different demographics would require volunteers for each group, and several of each to allow for holidays, illness etc etc - the logistics alone would be daunting - and all the Health n safety requirements - how would you deal with a group that wants to do...

    New Laws vs Mail Order Tools

    Sharpened umbrellas - which was the argument used by my brief when a copper tried to get me sent to jail for taking a knife to work in my bag for reasons that were extremely valid and life preserving, not my own, my GF tried to suicide with it that morning. He claimed I was going to walk around...

    New Laws vs Mail Order Tools

    Or make the punishments so terrible that we go back to a system whereby criminals feared them, intead of the holiday farms they have now. Utopia is a nice and commendable idea, but many in society are far too stupid to be trusted with such altruistic ideals or understand a lot of crimes are not...
