    MDF or Ply for the back of a heavy picture frame?

    Would it work if you were to deepen the frame slightly and add supporting strips at intervals? Bit like drawer muntins, and saves the weight of a whole board

    Card table top

    These might be worth a punt to help cut the mitres, you can shim one piece of moulding so it overlaps the other then you get a matched pair with one cut, that's the idea at least...

    Card table top

    Sounds like you need a hockey stick moulding to edge the table, it'll stand a bit proud of the top but will cover any wrinkles in the felt as it turns the corners

    Random Nails (Identification Help Needed)

    Only thing I've seen like it is a capping or Mickey pin, but that has a moving collar and is hardened. Could be for hanging some type of roof tiles on?

    Could be worth emailing the people at Interesting Timbers, they look like they do a lot of native species

    Spindle Wobble - Charnwood W812

    You can get a dial type indicator with base from Amazon for about £20, for a quick bodge to check the spindle as Wallace suggested without a DTI, take a length of straightened wire coat hanger, wedge it in the toolpost banjo so that it rubs on the unthreaded part of the spindle and sticks up...

    e scooters

    There's a category for 2 to 3 wheeled vehicles with speed between 15.5 and 28 mpd, it's listed as AM, but it does come before P :rolleyes:

    Axminster SK114 chuck, would it be overkill for a standard lathe?

    If you have an M33 thread you can buy inserts up to 1" x 8tpi, beyond that you'd have to use an adaptor. Things like old graduate lathes are 1¼ inch dia spindles so an M33 chuck would end up further out from the headstock. Inserts are available from many online sources, not just the original...

    ANPR insurance issue

    It seems you can have more than one policy on a car but it would be a nightmare to sort out a claim. Looks like you might be liable for two lots of excess and get one payout

    Bending wood for rocking horse restoration

    Building a simple ply steam box would take very little time, a steam supply could be had for less than £20, and it's a simple process. Be organised so you can work quickly with the clamps and make sure you use straight grained timber

    Bending wood for rocking horse restoration

    I'd make a suitable former, strip the finish off the piece you've got and try steaming that. I use an old wallpaper stripper for the steam supply. No harm in trying it and you've got the former ready for laminating if the original fails

    Advice on best way to remove the excess material from base of this bowl?

    It's a great first bowl, I still have my first bowl somewhere, only because my wife got to it before it went in the woodburner :rolleyes: There are so many tool marks in it I call it my corduroy phase.

    Without Beer, People are Going to Find Out

    I'm reminded of the old joke: tourist in London to a passerby 'what's the best way to Cockfosters?' reply comes back in an Aussie drawl 'let a pom brew it'
