I think it depends on what you want to do with - the outlay for skills and equipment to coppice properly is as much for half an acre as it is for 5. You could of course just ignore it and let nature literally take over. Depending on where it is boundary maintenance is important to keep...

Perhaps we could have a traffic free day once a month in memory of all those lost to this wretched virus. I have also been out and cycled down roads that you would normally risk your life on.

Fab, thank you

I have just finished a large pantry cupboard and would like to add some small spice rack type shelves attached to the inside of the cupboard doors, however I am not sure what they would take weight wise. The unit has 4 doors, the upper doors where I would want to put the shelves are each 1250 x...

Have used Dynapro without any problems, although I seem to remember spending forever fiddling with the adjustments to get them just right.

It’s a bit of a hypothetical question as I haven’t got space for either, but I have been having a debate with myself about if a small CNC could replace a spindle moulder. Things like the Ooznest offering are putting the CNC’s within reach of the small workshop, especially when second hand...

Do you know how they compare in price to the Ooznest one?

Looks ok, but my only comment is your “rubbing” of the surface. A very light wipe is all it should take between coats to de-nib. Just wandered if you have taken too much off, but it could just be terminology.

I am assuming the problem is that the panels themselves are made of several vertical pieces. If the pieces shrink you get gaps unless you ether glue them together or use tongue and grove. The complete panel itself can then float between the styles.

You possibly need to look at using tongue and grove. I have found that storing wood in the same humidity as where the end product will eventually live before you start working on it really helps preventing movement. Mine lives under the stairs for a while! The other option if your panels are...

screwtite from screwfix Assemble the whole lot in clamps and get square Predrill the holes, countersink and put a pilot hole in. When you are drilling the ends of mdf it is still prone to splitting so I put a clamp over first. Go through a dry run practice session Be brave and glue. Re the...

I am modifying an old single bed to make a box seat by chopping the side rail into 3 and bringing the footboard closer to the head board. The bed looks like it was originally made out of reclaimed wood, full of knots and nothing particularly flat. It’s got to come apart for transport as it’s...

Peter Millard has advised Junckers in the past.

I have just got back from a day at the Furniture trade show at the NEC, all 5 halls of it. It’s really interesting to see the quality (ah hem) of some of the stuff which I assume most of which is imported. Really made me feel quite proud of the bits that I have made! Also interesting to see...

Thank you both

Just curious, what is the vertical round bar for on the inside of the Sabre bandsaw fence?

I have got a couple both made out of off cuts of ply. The problem with Perspex is that it might shatter. I think you need polycarbonate if you want something clear, can someone else confirm?

What is your budget? Also, searching will bring up lots of similar threads.

We have come to do the last bit of our kitchen and I have a really awkward corner that I don’t know what to do with. The difficulty is that I would like to be able to see through the window as it is the last original window in the cottage and it gives visibility to the back door. The corner...

Can you add more detail for the Scott Eagle book as I can’t find it. Thanks
