    Want to get back into woodworking, but need space. Help!

    Sorry about your mum. Ive got a good idea for you..... Start phoning around local joinery shops. Offer your time, helping them, in exchange for experience and if possible, space to store your kit..... You both gain pretty big and some part time work might be paid?

    Salvaged Wood Haul

    Mixed waste skips here are £320 for a 6 yard..... Always ask, I'd be extremely happy for someone to reduce the amount im paying to bin! I'd probably help you load it 🤣 Most importantly, get yourself a neodymium rare earth magnet.... bigger the better, it'll help you avoid the steel Or get...

    👍 at least you are able to drain the system, fix it, abd refill etc... thats good going When i was an apprentice i drilled a neat 8mm hole into a pine floorboard for a bolt on the bottom of cupboard door to go into.... ( the slave on a pair ) ..... now, if i had just drilled in far enough for...

    Spray kit recommendations ( walls and cabinets )

    Theres a pressure setting, which has to be sufficient to give an even coverage without tails, and the changeable tips, which are different sizes of fan pattern and material viscosity.... so a 310 tip should equate to 6" wide pattern, 12 thou hole, for finishes. Or 515 is a 10" pattern and a 15...

    Spray kit recommendations ( walls and cabinets )

    Quick update: tips still needed, but to recover the situation i used a green scourer pad and a touch of water to wet sand the runs when the main areas of architrave had dried ( its quick dry ) which saved the undercoat, then had a strong coffee.... Then i went over the woodwork in 3 rooms with...

    Spray kit recommendations ( walls and cabinets )

    Me again..... Today i had my first bash at woodwork, some skirtings, architraves and a small built in bathroom unit. I didnt do well. I used a graco 310 ff lp tip, pressure at about 1400, which might be too high? And dulux trade quick dry undercoat, thinned 10% as recommended by the dulux...

    Looking for some info/values/prices etc

    This is kinda subjective.... I looked at the pile and for me, the 2 estwings and the 60 1/2 were of interest..... the rest, not so much 😆 So for me, thatd be about 70 quid. The questions would be: What of it do you want / need? Will you sell the other bits? Is this to raise money following a...

    Running out of time...

    I had a similar convo with a howdens delivery driver. Ex wife, no kids, small flat and a dog, not many friends. Id guess he was late 60s. At the end of the day, we are all the equivalent of ants... or maybe, like in the matrix, a virus 🤣😆 but anyway, the important question is really wether you...

    Grass

    Haha, that bad? Well the front bit is worse, and its small, so I'm probably doing gravel or bark or something there because the moss takes over as its darker
