Ron Currie's is just down the road from me. It's expensive and they are neither knowledgeable nor helpful. Conversation: "Have you got any MRMDF?" "What's MRMDF?" I jest not. And a mate of mine bought something, I forget what it was, but as he was putting it into his car he noticed it was not...

American White. If you go into the shop and walk down to the far end, Craig has his counter there.

There is a little one-man-band in Rainworth (well, he does have a store-hand, called Carl, who, if he were any more laid-back would be totally horizontal). Craig runs High Park Timber in Rainworth, the same building as Rainworth Fencing. He is a good bloke, used to work for Nixon Knowles. Not as...

This very interesting. Generally I am a fan of hardwax oils. I've used, and been very pleased with, Osmo, and I've recently finished my wardrobe in Treatex (because my local supplier stocked that rather than Osmo. Both are good, as far as I can tell (though I don't have a vast experience of...

Part 8 - the one about making the dentil crown moulding. QsYaAd2rQlQ

Pocket screws are a good way of building big cabinets that have to be transported flatpack. I've recently finished a (freestanding) wardrobe. None of the screws are visible. The video of it is here: 4nhhskKKPB4

There is some hand tool work Andy. I showed her how to use a hand plane, but she couldn't press down hard enough to make it work. My bench is quite high. I am shorter than I used to be and I find it a bit high. She is shorter still and I think that doesn't help. Next stage is to turn a finial...

I tried that once. For 18 years. It was very, very, very big mistake which cost me dearly. Almost my life.

WHAT? NO? NEVER AGAIN! DO I LOOK STUPID?!!! Not as long as I live. :)

I have a friend. There is no need to sound so surprised. We discussed the C-word. I said no, so she went to her sister's in Jersey on her own. We discussed Presents. I said I don't so C for the sake of C, so I wasn't going to buy her anything just for the sake of it, she needed to tell me...

I have the same drill (well,a very similar model - a bit older, I think, the table is not as sophisticated). I paid £160 and then spent nearly as much tarting it up. It is a beautiful machine and I would not swap it for anything (except, perhaps, for a newer version of the same thing - e.g. this...

Some mounting hardware arrived this week, so I now have a mirror on the inside of the door.

I hope that no-one is offended by this. It most certainly is intended to be so. From my own personal experience, I get the general impression that blokes have an attitude of, "How much? I could do that!" We, and I include myself, are not enthusiastic about spending money on things which we...

What do you mean, "not totally"? It's NOT AT ALL legit. It is theft of intellectual property and damages the livelihoods of every author, film-maker and every other content-creator out there. This should be stamped out, not publicised!

Yes. But Creators don't get paid by Forums and, unless you have 4000 HOURS of viewing in the PREVIOUS 12 MONTHS, you don't get paid a penny from YouTube. So you have to work for nothing and hope. My ratings are currently at HALF what I need. It's never going to happen, realistically. And most...

This trend has ended my journalism career, and some time ago :(

Sadly not. I could probably identify it out of a selection, though, it was almost illegible. I have it on film somewhere, but I'd have to go hunting to find it.

I'm about to order 0.8 cu m (which I think is about 2 tonnes) for a garden path and am finding it daunting. I think you are being brave.
