My clifton no 4 is my go to smoothing plane and my 3 in 1 shoulder plane is absolutely top notch. the problem is that if you want us to buy more product you need to...

    Record BS300E Upgrades

    I have just got a dolly for my BS400 frankly it is crap there is too much slop on the axle and so when you switch the machine on 2 or 3mm of slop translates to massive sway at working height. I will be removing it and returning to the standard after market machine base

    House re-roofing: have I been done?

    if it was done 10 years ago and the roof is not showing signs of mold or decay or condensation, I would not worry too much. whether it is the right or wrong material there are no adverse effects!

    Sander(s) for new and old floorboards / other finishing

    Hire one. I used my Bosch Belt Sander several years ago to do a floor. It did the job but it has never been the same since.

    LEE VALLEY - VERITAS

    I simply paid the customs duty they asked for I assume that as it was HMRC asking if VAT was payable it included VAT. The saving was of the same magnitude as described by the OP

    LEE VALLEY - VERITAS

    If it does not have to move around you could always put a block of wood under the stand. If it is of any interest I am about to sell a 17 year old Axminster 350 which has a working height of 1.1m I was going to vac it down and photograph it tonight

    Hole cutters for hardwood

    I would agree that the Forstner bit would be the correct tool. An alternative is if you have a router you could make a jig and rout out the indent.

    Bench Build Timber Choices

    My first bench was made from some 6" x 2" I scrounged with an MDF top If you do not want to spend much I would recommend building the top from man made board such as MDF as long as it is well supported it will remain flat and true. The other thing is if (or in my case when) you ruin it you can...

    Stinging Eyes and Sore Throat - Shed

    leave the doors open a few days to see if it disappears. If the shed is going to be a workshop you really should insulate it and then clad the inside with OSB or the like. also think about fixing noggins for attaching anything heavy you want to hang off the wall.

    Roof timber sizing

    that sort of truss would be fine. you could probably use a combination of 3x2 and 4x2. The horizontal wants to be at least 4x2. The problem remains you need to stiffen the walls. A wall plate as suggested would help but unless your walls are stiff in length and height it will collapse. bought...

    Roof timber sizing

    If all you did was fix pallets together then your walls will not resist the load from the roof pushing the wall out. What is needed is a frame full height by full width with uprights every 600mm or so. The frame will give the wall strength. Some pictures would help
