    Recommend a good wood finishes book

    There is also this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Finishing-Revised-Michael-Dresdner-1999-07-01/dp/B01FEKIGP6 New price looks to have gone through the roof, but quite a few used ones. This and the one Phil mentioned seem to cover things for me.

    Young'un

    raised £50k+ and counting for Save the Children and Ukraine appeals. It would be nice if one of the site sponsors or Axi or the like sent the lad a couple of turning gifts.

    Off my nut

    Stig, if you are on the metronidazole it will kill all the good bacteria too, so as Tris says get some LIVE Yoghurt, or some Acidophilus capsules. Don't underestimate this, ruining your digestive system can cause you more hell than the toothache DAMHIKT !

    Off my nut

    Before you get the pliers out Stig, have a go with this https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/all-ear--mouth---lip-care/orajel-dental-gel most chemists and supermarkets sell it. The benzocaine in it will numb the area you apply it to. Only lasts about 30-60 minutes so keep applying it...

    Recommendation for security cameras

    I think Shed9 is pointing you toward Swann. I have 3 Ring cams at the minute. One is the doorbell - ultra useful to avoid missed parcel deliveries. Battery lasts about 2-3 months with limited LIVE views (that burns the battery much quicker). One is wired internally pointing out of a windows...

    I hoped this day would never come - loosing my workshop.

    Hi @giantbeat have you checked out the local councils? They often rent commercial properties. e.g. there are a few available just south of you down the A61 in Athersley and Grimethorpe from Barnsley Council. I dont know if Wakey or Leeds councils have the same. They are often old pit buildings...

    Record Sabre 350 and greenwood cutting

    Hi Tim, I've owned the saw since they first came out and never needed to complete an angled cut, but the number of times I have either caught my back or banged my head on that bar extending out was far too many. So after one fairly hefty bump last summer, I got out the grinder and a S/S...

    Lidl Dremel

    I'm not a big fan of the Parkside tools, you get what you pay for. However, I've been looking at buying the Bosch pro version of this at £87 (mainly because I am on that battery platform mostly). I also picked one of these Lidl ones up and for £17 it is well worth it. For the amount of times I...

    I don’t want to build a workbench

    2 kitchen units fixed to the garage wall for me, Sheet of 25mm ply on top. Been using this for about 3 or 4 years now, just refurbed it all. Beefed up the underside of the ply where the vice is. Dropped a bit lucky with the cupboard doors - got 7 in total on a B&Q clearance for £42.
