    Table edge veneering advice

    If your edge banding isn't pre glued, roll it out and put PVA on it and also on the edge you will join it to and then using a non steam iron set to medium, iron it on.

    Spokeshave difference

    I have wooden spokeshaves and really enjoy using them. The secret to have them set up is to have the blade set at different heights at each end. This allows you to position the shave so that you can take a deeper cut if needed without adjusting the blade. I have them going from left to right the...

    So, isn't it about time the rights of a consumer were upgraded in law?

    As long as the leg quotient is >0 and <6, I'll probably eat it. As for veg, I absolutely have to differentiate as many have a high iron and heavy metal ratio which I have to avoid, meat doesn't. In fact I am off to see the dietician on Thursday to sort out a new palate of foods I can safely eat...

    Edge Jointing Workbench Top

    You really don't want to make it the way you are thinking about. Very weak design and will fail quite quickly. The best way using what you have may involve getting additional pieces if needed by sawing scarf joints. Rather than try to explain in a long post, watch the video below.

    Identify tool feature

    There should have been a U shaped movable bracket with it. It would sit on the steps at the height needed to support the tool being sharpened so that it would be in line with the top of the stone. the steps are to compensate for the reduction in diameter of the stone as it wears.

    A toothing plane will provide all the mechanical interlock you need along with hide glue. These are the traditional tools of bow making especially if needed to make the limbs of the bow. About 15 years ago, I made a 250lb Hunting xbow from Ash and Osage for an American friend who used/uses it...

    Spray kit recommendations ( walls and cabinets )

    To help with the spatter, start the gun spraying just before it gets to the edge and stop spray just after it passes the other side. As you move the gun use your shoulder rather than your wrist or elbow. So from having your upper arm against your body and your forearm parallel to the floor move...
