I have had the Picador 10' sander for many years, and there is barely a day goes by when I don't use it. It is a rock solid tool.

I made some planters out of sleepers (not reclaimed railway ones) about four years ago and painted them black with this Cuprinol Garden Shades - Colour & Protect | Cuprinol They still look as good as when they were first painted.

This is how to deal with authorities that try to extract money from motorists.

While colouring filler with pigment can work well I think it is generally too imprecise for your needs. As you say you have the occasional small imperfection to disguise, so I think you will be better off touching these out with a paint on a fine brush then oiling over the top. You do not need...

I had not heard of Lemon wood before so just googled it. I think you may be onto something Phil.

Hi Ken The dresser was made in the early 1920's. The handles and fret work are Art Nouveau, inspired by the Aesthetic movement, you can see the influence of Charles Renee Mackintosh if you look closely. I'm not sure what the wood is but am sure it is not Walnut, possibly Birch!!

Just gone back to Dr. Martins after many years. I had a pair of Dewalts which were comfortable but only lasted a year!! https://www.screwfix.com/p/dr-martens-batten-safety-boots-black-size-10/175jj

First class work. Well done.

Fiddes are okay, I think Osmo is better and cheaper. I used a combination of Honey and clear on my new engineered oak bathroom floor four years ago and it still looks good now. Osmo Polyx Oil Tints | Coloured Hardwax Oil | Stains & Protects

I had not heard of RCC before so had a quick look. It seems their table tops are made from joists and the finishes presented on their website are frankly bloody awful, patchy with great circular marks left from what I presume is a disc sander on an angle grinder! Im sure you can do better. If...

If you are going to be doing upholstery work you will need at leat a 50Lt compressor, you can get the air master from Machinemart for £155 which is great value but it is noisy. I have it but I have no near neighbours to my workshop so I can fire it up at 6am with no problems. If you want quiet...

Hi Adam, when the book comes back to me I will check out the cost of postage to Denmark, if it is not too expensive I can send it out to you.

There was a guy on the radio yesterday from the English spelling society talking about a campaign to simplify the English language. He made a lot of sense. Below is from their website. English spelling is broken. Let's fix it! English spelling is broken ... English spelling is broken. Examples...

In the post to you today Droogs.

No I had not, I would be worried about infringing copyright. Although it would be very easy to do, it is only some 35 pages!

You must have been in Paradise Row then! When were you there? Sam mentioned the roads where he worked but did not mention Paradise Road I think most of the workshops at his time were around Valance Road (home to the Krays) Voss street still had many workshops when I first moved there in 1979/80...

Droogs if you pm me your address I will pop it in the post to you.

I have a copy of 'Sam an east end cabinet maker' which I thought I had lost but recently found. It is a pamphlet publication of the memoirs of Sam Clarke who grew up in Bethnal Green and worked as a cabinet maker in the furniture industry around that area from the early 1920's. It gives a...

I think what has probably happened is you have a little bit of shrinkage on the one light (sycamore!) tile. The shrinkage is uneven giving you a bow shaped gap, it is possible you may get further shrinkage what with the pieces being solid. As I said before you could fill this gap and flat it...
