I went yesterday it was a 200 mile round trip for me but it has been a long time since I have been to a woodworking show and I thought I would give it a go. I had a great day out no traffic problems either way, charnwood had some of my money, record power alhough I made it clear to them I would...

To fezman who asked and I quote. Dropped a clanger in forgetting to pick up a backgammon veneer from Sussex Wood Veneers. Do they have a website?? If anyone is going tomorrow, would you mind getting their contact details for me. I was there yesterday and I did see a stand selling veneer but...

What is the problem with a chisel being 10 thou off of square on a wet stone grinder?

The op has asked what material is best for making cabinets for his workshop but has not said what he wants to make in the future for the house. For the workshop using pocket hole method natural wood would be his worst choice MDF would be a far better choice.

Has it occurred to you that if it looks filthy it probably is.

If you want to return your plane back to it's original condition then what I am going to say will be of no interest. I had a record 4 1/2 in a terrible condition kicking around in my workshop for years and I don't even know how I came by it. One day with little else to do I thought that I could...

The dust extraction from my radial arm saw is done via guttering down pipe and that in turn is connected to my shop vac via a CV boot to reduce the size. I also use a large CV boot to connect the 4in hose from my large extractor to the slightly larger diameter drainage pipe that serves my PT

Universal car steering rack gaiters fit on any size or shape of tool outlet and the other end can be trimmed to fit the extractor.

That is an amazing opportunity and as a lover of proper old machinery, not only the lathes, but also the engines you are helping to maintain I for one would be interested in following your progress.

I've just finished a box and I got my hinges and lock from prokraft. https://www.prokraft.co.uk/1-brass-box-lock-set.html The sides of my box were 12 mm thick and I would think that would be as thin as you would be able to get away with. I had to cut down the tacks for the escution to about...

Nice to hear that you would like to reintroduce the sanders that your farther created they were highly thought of. Personally I think that if it is possible for you to reintroduce them to the market of the same quality there would be a lot of interest you won't need to involve a large company...

The only thing I can think of is to buy some 6mm connecting nuts and drill 8mm hole half way through and tap an 8 mm thread in that half.

Thanks for the reply. I can see that your set up is good for something the size of a picture frame but how would it work for a box of say 6 inches high with 4 equally spaced splines?

Quote Woodbloke66 wrote. I used to do them that way but you've got an unguarded tablesaur blade there. Much easier and safer to make splines with a slotting cutter on the router table with the added advantage of being able to make different thickness splines. Turn each spline through 90deg-...

Exactly my feeling. I wonder if the garage is being a bit naughty and taking advantage of a lady driver. After a life time in the motor trade I fail to understand how you think that a garage who have passed a vehicle for it's mot but have advised the owner of a potential problem can be accused...

Maybe there is a good reason why Axminster and many others chose to sell their returns on eBay.

I think that there is a fine line between buying something of quality at a price that is acceptable to the quality of the item or paying an inflated price for the brand name for an item of similar quality but the name gives you a feel good factor that you think. sets you apart from the rest

I think that there is a lot more to this than meets the eye. I have no doubt that the bloke is passionate about boxes and has decided to have hinges of the highest quality made to his standard in the UK and should be apploreded for that but there is nothing unique about the hinges apart from the...
