This is about the closest I've found to work anything like Paramose (which REALLY WORKS - I used it at Peter Sefton's woo finishing course (y) ) Barrettine Paint Panther I strip quite a few pieces, both paint and varnish, and Paint Panther certainly works well on paint - I prefer to use the...

Carbide scraper - the Bahco ones are brilliant (have a look at Our Furniture Flipping Adventure on YT - she's done a short video this week that uses hand scrapers --https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eZ9qvCwe85o-- You'll need to cut and paste link without the dashes as sending the link is disabled

Masking tape as stated - I usually drill a very shallow "pilot hole" with a smaller drill to just get through the glaze before drilling with the required size drill - very slowly with minimal pressure, letting the drill bit do the work. AND when you fit the wall plug make sure it's not too...

Either you are looking at diamond-encrusted wheels at £50 - or at the wrong shop! Loads of trade suppliers with heavy-duty wheels starting at less than a tenner - Screwfix has some that I used for a very heavy truck a few weeks ago (built to take about 300kg).

I have a pair of very useful pencil storage facility - they're called ears :) - just tuck the pencil behind one or the other. Simples.

How big and heavy are the machines/tools you're looking to have mobile? As suggested up-thread a platform with castors is the obvious - you can get some pretty heavy-duty wheels, with locks . . . . I have, admittedly small-ish, machines on wheeled platforms/stands : drill press...

Beat me to it - or better still look out for someone taking out a kitchen (ask at kitchen fitting buisnesses?) - my own workshop is a range of "uppers" and a couple of "lowers" from a friend's kitchen, plus a custom made bench with MFT.

Angle gadget has arrived - seems well-made, and I've already used it to work out angles for a small lean-to roof I'm putting over our bin-store area.

I'm very probably ahead of you on bike tools :)🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

I wish people wouldn't post things like this . . . the South American River Emporium has just had one of these added to my current basket :)

Looks great - almost a piece of furniture! My rather basic home-made portable router table is pretty simple - the small scissor lift (about £7 from Banggood) works as a router lift, adjust and lock-off the plunge. Since the pic was taken I've inserted some T-track for featherboards in the...

Our wooden grarden furniture (2 benches and a table) all have plastic discs screwed to the bottom of the legs to keep them about 8-10mm off the hard surface - I used the moulded discs that are fitted to the headboard of a bed to stop the struts damaging the wall. Just fixed to the leg with a...

I fitted one just last week - just undo the 4 screws on the black plate of the lock unit - then, using a mallet, tap the brass barrel from the other side and it should come out (the hole size on the fitting instructions is very tight - I had to bash the lock through to fit it) The black...

Taking it a step further wouldn't it be great if all battery tool brands had a common platform . . . the reasons why not are obvious from the manufacturers' perspective but it is a frustration when, for example, there is a "global standard" for batteries (AA, AAA etc etc.) both single use and...

There is an argument to make a rail from a stable length of plywood (up to 2.4m!) and just run a normal circular saw along it - several YT videos have various flavours of the idea.

Thanks - I'm sure that the long rail will work - I'll just wait for it and as you say if it doesn't work send it back.

Thanks - yes the supplier did confirm that the Excel 700 and 1500 couldn't be connected - what they failed to answer was whether my MacAllister rail could connect to the 1500. The 1500 is out of stock and any delivery time unknown. I really want to get a 1400/1500 single rail that my saw will...

Never mind the plunge saws - have you seen his array of routers? - I have 6 and thought that was excessive!

@petermillard has a YT video of his quiet compressor he uses with a cheapie nailer - it's about £150 from Amazon. Might be alternative?

Ah - thanks - I'll check with the supplier. Failing that I'll save up for a Makita rail :)
