Yet another vote for CNC at Wrexham.

Easy - air wins hands down, especially if you have already got the expensive bit :)

Photo attached, the bolts are there that hold the knife in position (larger of the holes shown) Thanks

Thank you, we have since discovered that not only are there no screws but no threads for them to screw into!

I bought an Inca planer recently from a sale and after having the knives sharpened have discovered that the adjustment screws to set them are missing. Does anyone know how I can find out what thread size they are likely to be and where I can get replacements? Also, I am not sure what the model...

I have a friend who is a semi retired cabinet maker who needs to downsize his business but still needs something to generate a small income and keep his brain occupied. I am doing some research into the market for home tuition for amateur woodworkers who want help, but perhaps dont have the...

Hi I have a small crack in a bit of wood and a friend has suggested a two part clear resin to repair it (that makes your eyes water when you are ding it) He cant remember the trade name and Ive not found anything that matches the description. Any clues? Thanks

Apologies, this has probably been done to death before, but I haven't found an answer. There seem to be at least 3 schools of thought regarding backs on kitchen cabinets 1) Full thickness mounted straight onto the sides/top 2) Rebated into sides/top 3) Thinner piece slotted into sides and...

For anyone interested I have solved my problem by sticking a small piece of leather onto the cap iron with double sided sticky tape. I can now wedge the heel of my hand against the cap iron without it slipping and successfully use one handed.

To answer the last, because I am to idle to clamp things down, but will try two handed. Thank you for your thoughts. Sounds like a trip to a proper tool shop is in order. Husband wont complain - he is worried that one day I will convert to normal and start dragging him round shoe shops :)

Thats very cute :)

I have just bought a Quangsheng block plane which is lovely, however I am struggling to use it one handed as my hands are quite small. Any recommendations for a make that is as nice but a bit smaller, or should I just persevere? Thoughts? Many thanks

Thank you :)

Whlie its too darn cold to venture out into an unheated workshop, any recommendations for either good youtube or web page instructional sites to visit? Cheers

Thank you folks, Petes videos are really useful :)

Hi Can I pick some brains? The next project is to make quite a number of storage cabinets (hallway, kitchen etc.) where the carcasses will be good quality 3/4" ply for sides and base, with something thinner on the backs. I will be using a domino for the joints. 1) I am going to need more...

Add another vote for a track saw plus an MFT style top and dogs to get things square. I dont have room for a table saw, and havent come across anything that It hasnt been able to do that a table saw would. The whole lot will come in under your £500

May be too late, but to add my two penneth worth! Consider sending yourself on a course. You should get to use several different makes and understand the pros and cons of each (then decide you actually need 3!) More importantly you will learn how to use it safely and to use it confidently...
