    Inherited workbench restoration

    That's a wonderful bench, with so much history. Give it a hoover and then give a 'flannel' wash. Warm soapy water, good quality cloths, get them damp and wipe it down. The cloths and water will be absolutely filthy and you'll need to keep changing them. But give it a clean first before you...

    Adapt and Survive. In woodwork as well.

    Slight tangent - but I googled Port Erin out of curiosity. What a beautiful town - have always been interested in visiting the Isle of Man.

    Fire Extinguishers?

    I think someone from the fore brigade commented above that CO2 is lively stuff with sawdust. I seem to remember using having C02 demonstrated on fire training and it scatters embers and burning paper quite far from the original fire and can make things worse very quickly. I know the powder is...

    Anyone need a new tool cabinet

    I've seen the clip before and the toolbox is amazing. but... The safety stuff is odd. He wears a full face visor, not just safety glasses but removes the guards and doesn't use push sticks. He is using scrap wood that doesn't look very flat and can have little surprises in it from old repairs or...

    Hobbies "Triumph" treadle scroll saw.

    That's a fantastic response from Scrimper. I'll have to sit and look through that website. Was the table adjustment only for the Triumph / A1 models. I've seen mostly gems and they are just bolt together construction. David - for the small parts on your machine I can really recommend Citric...

    Hobbies "Triumph" treadle scroll saw.

    Hello David That looks like a nice solid piece of iron. Not sure what separates a Triumph from the A1 design. They look very similar at first glance. I haven't seen any adjustment mechanisms for the cutting tables. Generally they are just held in place by several nuts and bolts. Some have home...

    Filling (then building on) a pond.

    I've just filled a pond in for a friend. Small off the shelf liner type. Compacted it don as I filled with soil each time I added more I jumped up and down and walked it over. Filled it proud and six months later it is still proud of the ground! I help them out once a week, so I suppose there...

    Rise and hide work top?

    Similar set up with a couple of sanders under the bench and I sit on a block of wood to put myself at the same height. Can be awkward down among the bench legs to get some longer pieces the 'right' way round. So nothing is bolted down and can be moved forwards, back, left and right to ease this...

    My tip has a couple of big metal containers for wood only - it apparently is chipped and then used for other things
