Sycamore? Very interesting. Would never have occurred to me to use Sycamore. I live in the North West of Scotland and can only really get hold of Ash, Oak, Elm and, yes, Sycamore. I got some Ash boards a few years ago to make myself a kitchen table but never got round to it. Luckily, I also...

Excellent! That's kinda what I wanted to hear. Many thanks!

Hello all... A query... I'm making a top for a kitchen island. It's around a meter square and I have some Ash boards 300/350 wide. I was planing to use three across the width but now I'm wondering if there might be a benefit in cutting them down to 150mm and alternating the growth rings...

Another for Greenheart. I got a dozen boards which had lined a jetty - just don't quite know what to do with it... Be careful while cutting it - always seems to have a lot of stress internally. I gather sawyers would, after cutting a third of the way through a log, chain the cut portion...

Yeah. It was my sparky chum who reckons it's the fuse in the switch receiver that's blown. Prob not quite rated for the larger demand of the new extractor. The consumer unit is fine - again, my tame sparky chum... I was wondering if anyone know of a similar unit with a higher capacity - there...

Hello all, Looking for some advice... Recently upgraded to a 3hp SIP dust extractor. However, the remote I had - Quinetic 16 Amp Wireless Switch Receiver | Quinetic (QUR305) - blows the fuse when I switched it on. 'm told that it's because the inrush current demand is too high. Any...

For what it's worth... https://www.woodworkz.co.uk/stocklist/# Dunno about carriage but they have some boards available... Check out the Gallery.

Not to mention Plockton...!

Yup. Me too. But not Danish oil...

For what it's worth... I tried Tung Oil on a sign I made for a chum eighteen months ago. It's Larch and has been in an exterior, very exposed position and..... It's still fine. It's in great condition actually - no sign of any weathering at all. A very pleasant surprise. I know it's Larch...

Yes he is...!

Hi, Thank you for your reply. I'm machining the T&G down to 18mm and cutting the T&G. Haven't got the exact width worked out yet but it will be in the area of 135/140mm. The door will be primed and painted with oil-based exterior paint - not by me though. I'd asked some chums about using...

Hello all, Only joined recently. I have a question... I'm presently making a stable-style door for a friends porch. I'm copying - mostly - the style of the existing softwood doors that have warped as that's what he'd prefer. There is T and G let into rebates in the frames and I'm doing the...

Hi, For what it's worth, I switched from Dewalt to Milwaukee last year. Built a 20 X 12 ft workshop using Dewalt drill/driver combo and they didn't put a foot wrong. Decided to change to the Milwaukee because I wanted a drill with more torque. The model I have now is rated at 135nM and I...
