I do feel for you. Yes I have had it, got to the stage that even lifting my mug of tea to my mouth was painful. Tried physios etc but in the end I resorted to a quartizone (sure that’s not how you spell it!) after the physio therapist I was seeing recommended a scan. I was reticent to have it...

Obviously 😂

Don’t get me wrong I know the numbers are huge but with the technology available today, not to mention the potential gain in employment it could work. Either that or fine the social media companies for allowing dubious content. Yes they would be up in arms and it would hurt there bottom line but...

Thought I would just ask my son that question, we are currently in Spain so asked the question what do you think is the difference between the police here and in the UK? His response was Dad you wouldn’t mess with the police here they carry guns. My response was, what do you mean by ‘mess’, well...

Unfortunately as ever a proportion of the blame can and should be put at the central banks doors. Unfortunately most certainly in the UK and I would suggest the west has inept heads of central banks. That being said we have been in unprecedented times with Covid, but as restrictions were lifted...

I had this conversation a couple of days ago with a good friend of mine, my belief only but the West long term is in one hell of a mess. Reasons being we in the West can not play the long game, politics does not allow it, elections circa every 4 yrs, policy changes etc etc in complete contrast...

Unfortunately until someone knocks Putin of his perch or the West intervenes I can't see Birch ply coming down in price to quickly due to the amount they export. That being said container rates have come of nearly 40% from there highs and movement has eased but I am guessing that profit will not...

I used from memory a super blond shellac from workshop heaven, did a great job and funnily enough just about to make something else and will be using it again.

Unfortunately I believe there is truth to this. Most pallets were and are also sprayed with Deca bromide (this is a semi flame retardant.) well that was the case 9-10 years ago when I found myself researching the industry Studies in the U.S have found that it is very nasty stuff

I haven’t personally but the company I moonlight for time to time use it all the time, never heard any complaints and the finish looks great

Difficult this as im not sure there is a right or wrong answer or opinion. I have done both and sure will continue to do so but what I can say is that finally spending money on a good grinding system made a huge difference with the 2nd hand tools. Only my opinion but if you go down the 2nd hand...

If you don't have any joy selling your car might be worth giving a company called motorway a go. Friend of mine in the car industry said to try them, easy to use and and ended up getting £1200 more than we buy offered

I remember one of the 1st courses I went on John Lloyd did a similar thing in offering a bench and use of machines, I spoke to a couple of the makers that were renting space and they loved it, experience to hand of other like makers and also the fact that they could use the wisdom of there...

Hi Jon, not normally my main line of work but have some fitted wardrobes and bedside tables to make for family, yes the dreaded family job.. Happy to give it a go but bear in mind my feedback will be from a one man band not a commercial shop Hope it helps though Sean.

If they haven't already gone ill take the lot

And all because of the soft close! Where and why have we become so lazy that we need a drawer to pull itself in that last 30mm..!

Personally prefer to use wooden buttons, but I am tempted for ease of use at trying threaded inserts and then plug the hole after with a dowel of the same timber. Re the legs I would make a couple of templates to get the lap exactly where you want it then transfer onto your legs. I would also go...

Hi Shankat, no problem at all, totally get where your coming from, they are a pain in the proverbial !

Very nice. I sometimes get asked if I make chess pieces to go with games tables etc, I don't, two things either a) if you are interested I can send the client your way or b) ill handle them and will buy them from you. Obviously this all contingent on you being happy to do so. If so feel free to...
