In my ignorance can you explain some basics When you design a speaker how do you know what sort of sound will come out of it? Why do some speakers cost hundreds of thousands of pounds and are similar looking ones a fraction of the price? I know it's a huge question but the basics would be...

I try to stay off you tube. They never vacuum up, Mark out. Run out of wood. Take a lunch break, have machines break down always get things right, never make prototypes, don't need drawings or dimensions, all their tools are spotless in the right place. They never put anything down then can't...

Every since I won December's lottery of £35,000,000 my partner walks round the house in a nurses uniform, changes into fishnets and red high heels at lunch time and sits topless during the six o'clock news. I don't Get any sleep at night as her demands last for hours. Do you think she's after...

They said that about Rubiks Cube and I still can't do that;)

Hello James. Im not saying you have to apply poly to ever job you do, but in my experience its a surface finish that gives better protection that just Danish oil alone. This is water damage on oak with just a danish oil finish. By applying a couple of coats of waterbased poly it protects the...

A lot of work But maybe stripping both doors back would be better. Stain and varnish them both. to save some time and effort a door stripping dip would probably be your best and quickest way forward. Fiddes in Cardiff used to have a matching service that gave advice on this sort of thing. Not...

off topic.... but that Peanut jig looks far too complicated to me.

You should have been able to see after the first coat that the door wasn't darkening. At this point you could have added a tint to the Danish oil with some dye stain to darken it and bring it up to the level of the first door. You still might be able to do this. You have a couple of options to...

As a side. This is the best non yellowing finish I have ever used in varnish.

Seem to be a few folk saying they are rubbish without actually telling us what they made and what failed or stood strong. When using conventional journey I sometimes wonder if in fact we do over engineer structure joints. A bit like when cars suddenly changed to lightweight structures, sub...

Well it's been some time since pocket hole joinery has been talked about. Wife bought me a jig a few years back but it's just sat on the shelf. I've never used it but having to make a kids bedroom desk now it does seem appropriate. So my question is this, If you built something using this system...

Thank God for that. Can't be too sure these days. :love::love::love:

it was a joke.

I've always wondered how making spindleback chairs from green wood don't fall apart when brought inside? Or do they? And if the greens have their way cutting down trees will end along with woodworking. We will all be forced to grow willow. Planted in a container area underneath the home and up...

It's Ireland.

I think we are lucky that the relative humidity stays quite stable in the UK. Unlike the USA. So long as you go through the proper process of climatisation with projects before finishing all sides there shouldn't be a problem. Hark he says after seeing a table brought back from Ireland where an...

I m still a Danish oil person after all these years. I believe that oiling all round seals the wood and protects from moisture ingress. Oil solids or micro balloons? I know myself that that is probably incorrect but to date I have never experienced an explosion from anything I've made where the...

Bet it was Aunt Bessies or McCains.

Democracy is all but gone. The press are a disgrace. I'm glad Merkel won her case and rightly so. And I'm off topic. So against the run here I had the Pfizer *** on Sunday and have suffered most of the side effects for three days. But I did manage to clear the snow from my car windscreen unlike...

Excellent post. (y)
