Thanks for the replies fellas, I knew that this matter, not to mention the job of building the workshop in such a difficult location would be challenging. Martin, has a point regarding the long term issues of the workshop at the top of a hill, this has been on my mind. Although, the view is...

I am mulling over the position, in the garden, of a new workshop. I have a plan to head for the top of the garden, 60 metres from the road and up a pretty steep slope with some steps. Here are some pictures; View from the road up the path, steps toward the gate and back garden Through the...

Steve, My cue has been worked on by B&W, they made and fitted a little extension to the butt. http://www.bandwbilliards.co.uk/cues_custom.php I enjoyed my trip to their workshop just outside Birmingham, they have a snooker table upstairs which you can use and they will make small adjustments...

I am interested in this subject. What roof design exists that does not have a "tie beam" I think that is the phrase to describe the piece of timber which is at the bottom of the truss . Say you wanted a roof that was completely open, a bit like a church? Looked this up with that in mind...

Steve, nice cue. If you would like me to test one of your cues just let me know. I did once get a 65 break at snooker, comprising 8 blacks and 9 reds. Missed a brown for 69. My cue is a powerglide Rex Williams original. I think it is 17 1/2 oz with 10mm tip. Regards, Tony.

A cracking two day jolly for me. Easy trouble free journey south to Sussex on Friday after a little business, arrived at my hostelry in good time for a pint and cats lick before a short trip to Goodwood for that evenings racing. Three bets, two wins and sufficient profit to pay for the cost of...

I like them both. :)

I am definitely a night owl. Rarely go to bed before 1.00am. Get up at 8.30am when disturbed by missus who gets up at 6.00am to attend to the children. I can get up early when I have to but I don't really like it. I wish I was an early person. It is the best time of day, and when I get into...

Looks good Matty, Pity about the date I will be in that area in a couple of weeks, but not on Friday. :cry: I could make use of some oak doors as well. Is anybody else going to attend? Cheers, Tony

Steve, I have just landed on this thread. I will leave some items for you with Philly at West Dean. I have a spare cordless drill with two batteries, and I am sure I can find some other tools that will be useful. Pleasure to be of help and to support your worthwhile cause. Cheers, Tony.

Ste, I have a Bosch circular saw (in very good condition) which is surplus to my requirements. I would be happy to let you have this for a little something. I will check the second hand value on fleebay. I am sure we can come to some arrangement if your interested. Just let me know perhaps with...

Sorry to see that this project did not work out Rob. Some good news to cheer you up I have made the prize for the competition as promised...(not wishing to let the cat out of the bag but it is in the ABW I snaffled from Yandles 8) .) I have also finished my shooting board using your design...

Wiz is like a bit of furniture round these parts. Is that a pun? :) The best place to post pics of your workshop would be in the projects, workshop and past mistakes section. Have a look down the main index you will spot it there. Cheers, Tony.

First impressions from those pictures look good. But I don't need any more planes, so I am not going to look anymore. :)

The combination machine appears to have been withdrawn from sale. Whereas the AD 741 planer is still available. It is a beast of a machine weighs 580kg and is over 7ft long. My old Felder special promotion flyer (Feb 2008) offers this at £5,400 inc vat including the power drive table height...

Thanks for these replies fellas, Mark described the process including this advice; How do you hold the blank against the live centre? If I understand this you mount the drill in your chuck and present the blank to the drill. What holds it all level and in place? Do you hold the blank with...

I think Gill is right. Tony.
