Sorry to take this thread of topic but I have a grandmother clock that I inherited from my mother that I can rember being in my grandparents house when I was a child. I don't think that it has much value but it has stopped working and I would like to have it repaired does anybody know of a...

The main consideration is not the size of your workshop but what you expect to make in it.

I would assume that this bin storage is not going to be the focal point of your garden. Just use fencing materials.

Brick work and a paving slab.

To be honest I think that our very own Peter Sefton deserves a mention in this list. https://www.eveshamjournal.co.uk/news/business/11578456.furniture-maker-peter-takes-seat-at-top-table/

You need to twist the belt 180 deg.

If you can't see how unhelpfull your comment was to a wide range of woodworkers of different skill level to your own then it is not for me to explain.

This thread seems to have gone very of topic. My advice would be to buy a pen mandrel kit that suits the lathe you have at the moment and see how you get on. As for kits as a beginner like you I have purchased kits from CS Crafts and have been very pleased with them.

To be quite honest I feel quite insulted. I made 4 boxes 1 for each of my grandchildren that took me many hours and may not be of the quality that you seem to imply that you produce but the Procraft hinges and locks were very well suited for the items that I get enjoyment from making and...

From bitter experience with this sort of problem get a written report on the trees condition from an expert send it to the council and do nothing until you have their written approval do nothing until you have written proof that you have been given the approval to proceed.

I think that the idea mentioned earlier in the thread about a shed that is a mens shed on a Monday, a Ladies shed on a Thursday and a hobbies shed on a Wednesday for all comers is great idea. When I retired from a lifetime in and around the Motor Trade and the Building Trade the thing I missed...

Unless you have 3 hands I would think long and hard about fitting a keyless chuck to a pillar drill.

Sorry I thought you had made a cabinet to go around your meter and now wanted to put a door on it but it seems that you have covered your meter with a box and now want to put a door in it.

Why cut it out if the centre of the board?

Don't understand what you would have expected to have gained from going. From what you have told us in the past you run a professional workshop and offer training courses. You would have been better off having a stand to promote your own business.

Thats the place I knew that there would be members who remember the shows of the past. I think that one reason people find the shows less interesting and a reason there are so few shows now is that when I was going to shows 30 or 40 years ago it was because I was looking to buy expensive kit for...

Well for me it was a 208 mile round trip and it was what I expected and I was pleased I went. I am old enough to remember shows of the past at places like Ally Pally in London and Cressington Barns but I accept that those days have gone and hobby working is now a very small pastime and most...

Many thanks for the update Peter. I feel for you guys who put in so much effort and time and money into these shows in the past I used to have stands at autojumbles and steam fairs and it is heart breaking when the weather destroys you effort. If things look ok here in the morning I will set...

Well I now don't know what to do. I have been looking forward to this show for a long time and had planed to go Friday as Saturday doesn't really work for me. I am in Bedfordshire and Newark is 80 miles north of me I will look out of the window in the morning and if it is clear here I may set...
