Hi, I need some inspiration! I want a door bell on my oak front door but am not keen on the plastic push buttons. It needs to be wireless for us to stand a chance of hearing it. You can get nice buttons but they appear to be for wired bells, again a door knocker isn’t loud enough. Any...

Has anyone used these in a festool or festool clone top rather than a ujk one? It looks like you have to make the holes fractionally bigger in a festool table to accommodate the dogs, presumably why there is a special tool available to do it. I am I right to think you then cant use a mixture of...

Invest in a course - you will get to use a variety of equipment and more importantly learn how to do it safely. Courses may seem expensive, but routers really can be viscious if not fed correctly -fingers can make an excellent snack for a disgruntled router.

A track saw, router, thicknesser and hand planes.

Help! I want to build a free standing tall corner cupboard with a door on the front. Cross section attached where the door will end up on the diagonal. The door will be mounted inside a face frame. My first dilemma is how to cut the angles on the face frame accurately without a table-saw (as...

The Katsu as a little trimmer is brilliant, the plunge base I bought with it is awful. One thing with my Katsu is the splindle lock knob broke, I think it kept catching when I put it back into the fixed base. I ended up cutting it off and has actually made life easier, as you can use some...

Has anyone been to one of the Festool roadshows touring Screwfix branches? Are they worth a visit and is there any mileage on haggling over prices? Thanks

Thank you, contravenes what Axminster have on their website

Does anyone understand the maximum power take off on dust extractors? Festool give a maximum takeoff of 1800w on the ctl26 which isn't enough for their 2200 table router (or my trusty triton tra001) Do you give this a stiff ignoring or accept that you can't plug a table router into a dust...

Thank you, you have just saved me £30!

Has anyone tried the Aldi 12v cordless drill? Is this a waste of money or a bargain? Thanks

The attached picture shows a cap iron that is split into two so you can just flip the bottom bit off when you want to sharpen the blade. Does anyone know what it is called and if you can still buy them? Thanks

Try making flapjack with grease proof instead of baking parchment and you will find out the difference!

Tewkesbury saw to a very good postal service, I can't remember exactly how much mine were to get done but it wasn't more than £20 http://www.tewkesburysaw.co.uk/

Nice little cabinet in your living room perhaps? Mine live in my kitchen :)

Can anyone comment on Rutlands Ali sash clamps, good or bad? They are on offer, but dont want to waste £70 if they are no more use than spaghetti! Thanks

I am having to move my workshop into an even smaller space. To date I have been relying on a track saw for everything, but the new space isn't overly wide and I think it will be a pain. I simply don't have space for a table saw. I have a 3.5m wall against which ideally I want to fit a router...

Just finding my way around sketchup. Which pluggins do you folks find most useful? Thanks

Use a small handhed router with the parallle fence it was supplied with. If the fence wont adjust so that its narrow enough clamp another straight piece of wood to the original to use as the guide (this is a bit fiddly and you might need to do it in sections when you come to move the clamps) ...
