    I've been asked to build a stand for a Belfast sink that going to be in a bathroom. Customer wants Oak accent around the base of the sink and the shelf the tap sits on. Rest of the stand is to be painted. Any recommendations on a durable finish. Both areas are likely to get wet from splashes as...

    I can confirm the cheap ones do work rather well.

    Einhell or Excel budget Plunge Saw?

    I too have the Mac Alistair one from Screwfix but unlike @robgul I found the fence to be somewhat lacking. It will only join strait with 2 specific ends (might be normal for tracks) I only noticed this after a few cuts came out not strait. Being in 2 700m lengths is handy though for use on my...

    Banggood / Drillpro Tools

    I don't think the import and VAT situation has changed when buying from China or other non EU countries. I've just bought a scanner that's shipping from the Netherlands, I was charged tax on checkout but I am worried about other fees once UPS try to deliver.

    Excel 10'' 250mm Planer Thicknesser

    Is this your planer? If so the knob at the rear of the bed is used to raise/lower it. Will have 3 mm of travel. There should be an indicator on the side, near the handle that adjusts the thicknesses bed. I am now convinced this is the same as the Lumberjack one.

    Table saw v Track saw A bit of advice please

    I'd have to say that having both is a good way to go if you can. Repeatable, accurate cuts are a breeze to do with the track saw and MFT or parallel guides, even my cheap *** Mac Alistair give me accurate cuts. But as others have said a we'll set up table saw is so versatile.

    Cubic foot question

    Still trying to get my head around cubic footage and visualising what a typical cu.ft of say maple would actually look like. So a board that is 6' x 1' x 2"" is 1 cubic foot?

    Youtube !

    As I ditched the TV licence because I don't watch live broadcast TV I put those funds toward YT premium. £11 well spent IMO. No adverts and a tiny slice of that £11 does actually find it's way to the creators. Bonus is you get YT music which I've found to be way better than Amazon Prime Music.

    B&Q selling birch plywood!

    That feedback is very much justified, their 18mm hardwood ply is terrible.

    B&Q selling birch plywood!

    Yes they do, they aren't particularly big or thick. Mostly already plained and they seem expensive. They also do PAR oak boards which are around £30 for 900x300x25

    B&Q selling birch plywood!

    Bit odd that it's listed but they don't sell it and if they did it wouldn't be 20 quid a sheet 😂 In fact has B&Q every sold Birch Plywood? Would actually be handy if they did. 😆

    John the woodbutcher.

    Hi John, welcome. I really want to see what this thing looks like now. So intrigued. I was going to suggest emailing them to me and I'd post the pictures for you. But pretty sure that's against the forums T&C.
