I bought these for a specific job which won’t be repeated so I have no further need for them. Having cleaned them up, they’re virtually in as new condition. I have 2x KRE80’s and 2x KRE100’s. Dimensions are per the photos and I’ll be selling in pairs or all four together. I’d like £80 for the...

It’s been a bit mixed where we are: the large apple trees in our garden blossomed well but seemed gone pretty quickly. Contrastly, the magnolia tree was a slow starter but flowered well and lasted a while which is unusual for us. We’ve a large Californian Lilac (it’s virtually a tree) which is...

Right down to the pins holding the tray, that’s a lovely, delicate piece of work. Great story behind it too and I’m sure the lady who commissioned it and her daughter will be delighted.

@NewbieRaf Highland in Atlanta are a great place to visit - quite a large rambling place over 2 floors in a nice part of the city. I might be wrong but I think the opening hours were different to other places, so best to check beforehand. I’d heard from friends that prices generally had jumped...

I have inadvertently ordered and received duplicates of the full Wnew dowelling jig and 'multi puncher' that many will be familiar with through the strong recommendations of Denis from Hooked on Wood. He discusses this in episode 27 of his China Tools series found here I am aware that I am...

We’ve toured New England and found the Woodcraft stores are pretty good for a nosey too. Whilst they and the Rockler ones are principally the same whatever state you’re in, having been to a few they do have an individual feel to each of them.

Potentially sold but I’m awaiting confirmation.

I can provide receipts showing whatever price you like. As long as it’s only for showing the good lady 😉

@ormandge PM inbound, thanks for the interest

Model TSPST450 unused and in the box, complete with all accessories. Only one accessory packet has been opened. I bought this for a project which I didn’t take forward so hopefully it will be of good use to another member. I’d rather not post simply because of its size but if collection isn’t...

@J-G it would be worth a few minutes reporting this online to Action Fraud. If there are previous incidents or other events linked to the address or persons believed to be associated with it, you’ll help build more informed intelligence that the police may be able to act upon and it could help...

@bourbon I’d like to think a load of lads at the second one were watching me out of a window smiling ruefully and saying ‘another one that’s failed the initiative test’ 😉

Quite a good haul today - Multiple packs/bundles of cosmos seeds for an upcoming job out the back - can be put off until next month as I’ll be sowing straight into the ground. A voucher for a free alpine plant at a local garden centre with no other purchase required in order to claim. They do...

After my retirement we relocated to where we are now and as my wife still works and has family close by, I contacted two of our local sheds. The first (about 12 miles away) told me I was probably too far from them - pardon, really? A local shed for reaaaally local people! I made contact at...

I bought this with intentions to use on my fixed MFT but personal circumstances have caused me to take a different route with my working space. None of the kit has ever been attached to the table or used in any way and all the parts are still in their packaging, only removed to check all was OK...

I think the cost alone of such things can’t be considered in isolation, as is often the case. If you put the effort and cost into selecting the right wood perhaps with complementary veneers then spend hours in crafting a box, it’s probably worth the cost in having a sleek set of hinges fitted...

@bourbon, yes, cash and card on the gate 👍

It wasn’t as large as Harrogate, agreed, nor was it swamped with Woodturning clubs which was a comment made about there last year. There was a reasonable selection of displays/stalls and it was £7 to get in if paid in advance. When the number of shows available to us are extremely limited...

My mum regularly said “just wait ‘til your dad gets home”. I was truly terrified of his temper and quite often she’d have calmed down by the time he was back and I got a reprieve.
