I eventually got round to making Matthias Wandel’s Woodgears screw advance jig. Having invested the time in making it, it is supremely easy to use and set up. Check out the online videos if you have not done so already. I have a Woodrat and that is good for comb joints too, but it is a bit...

I bought a gas glue gun from the retailer you have found. This was after years of making do with a so-so corded electric gun from Screwfix. I would not trade the cordless gas gun for any corded model now - it is so much more convenient to use without being hitched to the power socket. I...

I would think this would do the job http://www.marmox.co.uk/products/multiboard Cheers

I was going to suggest Accoya - why not Accoya for the frames as well?

Why, another vac! Actually, the workshop vac I have is a Fein Dustex that uses disposable bags, so that one doesn't need extensive cleaning when emptying. But you are right some vacs need another vac to clean it: - I have a Festool CT26 that has a reusable textile bag and, whilst you can...

The answer in most cases is another vac! Various other comments appear to be addressing different types of filter, but from what you say you have a rigid pleated filter. I too have one of these on my workshop extractor, similar to this http://thumbs1.picclick.com/d/l400/pict ... h-fine.jpg...

It is disappointing that the electricity service providers have so little regard to the neatness of their installations, but I guess you are stuck with that unless you pay an extra fee to get them to come and change it. My first question looking at the layout is whether the proximity of what...

Like Custard, I have two of these chucks, one on the Woodrat router and one on my router table. Previously, on one of them I had the Xtreme Xtension (?) - the Muscle Chuck is undoubtedly better (if you google Muscle Chuck you can find some promotional stuff that explains why - it grips the...

Wot he said My first router was an Elu MOF96E - it also had a really nice bench top router table arrangement ideal for smaller mouldings etc. I now have a full set of Festool routers - all fine - but I still wonder if I did the right thing in selling the MOF96E. Cheers

This is an old pic where I used this paint Cheers

That looks very nice - really like the woven panel. Just one point - I think radiator covers work better if the radiator and any visible bits of the recess behind it are painted a dark colour - it then just disappears. I have used Rustoleum Spray paint - oil rubbed bronze metallic - which...

Good question that I have been thinking about in my painfully slow rebuilding of Victorian sash windows in our house. The originals do not have the cut out and other comments suggest that it is a modern innovation. I spend a lot o ftime in Cornwall and have noticed that many apparently...

Porcelanosa shiwrooms are pretty good for a range of swanky contemporary kitchens, particularly work tops.

Looks v interesting. Won't you need some fixing of the table top to the frame (presumably through the lateral bearers - slotted to allow for expansion)? Cheers

It is a big job requiring proper equipment to do the power flush and as said earlier takes a good part of the day (I think you can hire the kit). However, beware of British Gas who wwanted to charge us something like £750 for power flushing even as part of installing a new boiler. My plumber...

It looks interesting, but that is one of the most useless and irritating websites I have ever looked at. After 5mins of looking at lots of pretty designer installations, I was none the wiser as to what it is! [it is more annoying even than the Accoya website and that is saying something]...

Hire a concrete floor grinder - I used a set up like this and it will get your floor nice and smooth, say for painting (I needed epoxy sealing), but make sure you get the proper dust extractor as the dust is unbelievable. http://www.brandontoolhire.co.uk/en/dus ... acuum.html Cheers

This is what I intend to use on an upcoming project - recommended by the flooring supplier https://www.sika.com/dms/getdocument.ge ... system.pdf Would be good if you could try it out and report back! Cheers

Nope, but I don't throw them away either! ...I know! Cheers
