    Advice on using an MFT to cut full sheets

    I break down full sheets on my mft bench, but it's a standard mft depth but about twice as wide. Only the middle bit is actually an mft, the rest is just mrmdf. I don't bother putting anything under the sheet I'm breaking down so my workbench has 2mm deep scores in it. The horror. For cutting...

    Extraction confusion

    To be fair I didn't say mdf wasn't worse overall but when talking about particle size. It's just that people oft think that "real" wood isn't something to worry about at all while MDF coupled with a 5g mast will bring about the apocalypse. Treat it all as it it's trying to kill you, because...

    New Workshop Build - I don't know where to start

    You know I reckon you might be able to get away with it.

    New Workshop Build - I don't know where to start

    ah a pain in the bum, but I'd deffo want to own the land its nailed to rather than just be leasing it. Some covenants are so weird and so clearly out of time compared to when they were added.

    Insulation thickness for walls?

    Mike I honestly don't know what it's got down to and I always put the heater on when I go in. Some days I;ve gone in and thought "ohh thats nice" as it was already noticeably warmer than outside though. I think we hit -5 here at one point. I'd get a pair of thermometers or something to easure it...

    Insulation thickness for walls?

    I only put 60mm of PIR in the walls on mine and 120mm in the roof.

    Need help improving Shop lighting

    I've 12 600x600 6000k panels in my 30m2 workshop and it's a great place to work. Couldn't tell you how many lumens they are each. People regularly think I've put skylights in the roof. They probably aren't quality panels at £24 each. But they illuminate, don't cause eye strain, and look like...

    parf mk2 faff

    The parf system is for making mft tops, not for squaring boards up. Unless you are trying to make a top with holes in the right places to do this job?

    Which of the lagunas is that? If you can get away with using both 100mm ports do so.

    Settlers of Catan - or cutting hexagons...

    All I need to do now is get in to board games and I can get myself a laser too :ROFLMAO: Maybe my motivations aren't quite right.

    Cordless drill

    On the basis you're trying to do this on smaller peices and probably not for selling to the queen, a cheap pillar drill might be of use? Mine is only the Silverstone one and while it's far from perfect, it does the job I want like putting 35mm holes in doors for hinges or whatever. It's far...

    Settlers of Catan - or cutting hexagons...

    If you're doing it a few times making it from something clamp able would be better as I find I have to reapply tape after each use. You could jig it up easily enough. Use a long enough bit of mdf, get one of your tiles in the right place behind and secured with tape, and then flip it over and...

    Nice. I assume your extractor is usually only using one 100m port at a time? I did set up my shop to use lexa for my lights but realised it did add anything other than me shouting at her so I didn't bother :ROFLMAO:

    Settlers of Catan - or cutting hexagons...

    Just use your forstner bit to go all the way through something, just a bit of thin bit of mdf will do. Then you can use double sided tape or find some way of clamping it if you prefer to use a top bearing bit to route the hole in your tiles. But it is a bit more faff than just using the...

    Settlers of Catan - or cutting hexagons...

    Very cool. I have to ask why you didn't use a router to put the cutout in the tiles though rather than the forstner bit? Looks like a real labour of love, fantastic.

    Large ported subwoofer

    Bowel loosening when the trex in jurassic Park stomps around sounds perfect 😂. But yeah. I'm not dropping that kind of money to build a sub. My pitiful 20 year old Sony 5.1 in a box sub (I think the case says 30w?!) is working for now. I agree with the beard stroking. So many seem to worry...

    My first proper router table

    Might work. I've had it not work even when using it handheld. Essentiallytthe idea in the table is to put a hole a few inches downwind of the bit parallel to the fence. So if for example you were routing a slot in the face of a board, what will often happen is that because the fence extraction...

    Large ported subwoofer

    Very nice. Want to build myself something but was dreaming in the direction of a cabinet with dual 15s in it or something. Not knowing the first thing about what to buy it's quite hard as the nerds that usually seem to build this stuff only want to spec super high end gear and would spend more...

    Securing your workshop

    Not all of them are no. Though there is a gap between promoting use of firearms and walking around asda with an AK round your neck. A lot of folk there just want to own guns.

    Securing your workshop

    As long as you make sure that when you chop their fingers off it was just the heat of the moment you're fine. In reality if you confront an intruder with a baseball bat they are going to leg it. We don't want to descend into the idiocy that is the USA where everyone sleeps with a gun in their...
