    Making Sprung Bed Slats

    Thanks all for your advice. I am planning to use Simba/Emma/Eve mattress, so from what has been explained above I might be fine or even better off with simple flat slats. Now then 3/4" ply or 1/2" is the next wquestion!

    Making Sprung Bed Slats

    Hi, I'm planning to build a super king (1800W x 2000L) bed at the end of October. Bed itself will be oak. I have been doing some reading about the bed slats, and as I understand sprung slats are considered to be the better option. I was wondering whether it is simpler to just purchase them...

    Benchtop Planer / Thicknesser

    Hi - so I have copied and pasted this from another forum but this is basically how you do it. You do need to remove the front cover to access the bolts (and back if I remember correctly). "I know this is an old thread but took me a while to work out how to level the table. There are 4 bolts for...

    Plunge Saw Purchase

    I know you are looking to buy new, but I have to say I am absolutely delighted with the TS55 that I purchased second hand two years ago, and wouldnt hesitate to replace it if I had any issues with it. I use the Excel tracks from Tools4Trade which fit perfectly. They do a set of 2x700mm with...

    Hi - Have you read the guide above with the photos? - the module i installed is identical to the one you have

    Benchtop Planer / Thicknesser

    Well you will need two machines, plus the appropriate space above and around them. They are fairly heavy and not the easiest to move around, so if you are going to mount them onto cabinets or a bench then thats twice the amount of space you would need. Some people do mount them on a flip-top...

    Benchtop Planer / Thicknesser

    If you are saying that you have a small workshop then I cannot see the advantage of option 1.

    Somebody stop me.... Imminent Festool purchase

    I will have a try to retrofit something to mine. I had just resolved myself to the idea that the dust collection was going to be terrible unless i bought a KS60. I really really cannot justify a KS60... but i am always put off using my chop saw and use another tool often when I should use it...

    Somebody stop me.... Imminent Festool purchase

    I am so limited by space in my tiny shed workshop that I couldnt fit one of these sadly!

    Somebody stop me.... Imminent Festool purchase

    Please tell me more about this! I have a cheap ish Dewalt DWS774. I can't justify spending any more, but the dust collection is truly awful - Id be really interested in anyhting that can improve it.

    Benchtop Planer / Thicknesser

    I second that the Titan one (screwfix) is heavy - you can lift it but it is awkward. I lift mine from floor to bench when I want to use it which is fine. I wouldn't want to lift it up to a high shelf above my head or anything. I keep meaning to build a flip-top cabinet for it to live on/in but...

    Benchtop Planer / Thicknesser

    I have the titan and was lucky with mine in that the beds were flat. Contrary to popular belief they are adjustable just requires taking the panels off the machine. I was skeptical about buying it as reviews are mixed, but approached it with the idea of I can always return it to screwfix if it...

    Small workshop vacuum for chip and sanding dust control

    No problem at all! I’m glad to hear that your set up is working well! I was really pleased with the Woodelves company and the custom pieces he made for my tools all fit brilliantly. I felt that it was reasonably priced as well. Out of question how did you get on with your planer thicknesser...

    Slightly bowed laminate

    I had another look at it this afternoon and having sat on a flat surface with some decent weight on it they seem to be flat now. Will see how I get on tomorrow….

    Slightly bowed laminate

    Hello I know this isn’t real woodworking… but…. I’m laying some laminate floor for the first time over the next 2 days. I stupidly left it in my car for 3 days before I took it out, during which time it was sat at a slight angle, and has developed a very minor bow (2cm bow in a metre length)...

    Small workshop vacuum for chip and sanding dust control

    I have a clone of the Record Power DX1000 ( actually its more like a clone of this Axminster one which is like £100). It is attached to a cyclone which takes the outlet down to 50mm, and the whole setup is enclosed in a small unit in my tiny 6x8' workshop. It is wired in to come on when power...

    Compact Router Table Build

    So the fence is finished. It is just of plywood construction. There are two thumb knobs to allow coarse movements up and down the T-Tracks. The large knob to the rear allows fine adjustment of the fence back and forwards, overall there is about 1/2" of movement this facilitates. The small knob...

    Compact Router Table Build

    Haha thanks! I have just finished the fence for it which has a 'micro adjust' function that I saw on another set of plans - I'll post some photos later :)
