We used this company in Northampton and they were good, can't remember if we paid by credit card though. not sure how local to oxford/bucks you are looking for. https://algarvegranite.co.uk/

Not sure if this helps or not but I had a similar issue with damp building behind fitted wardrobes that were on an external wall The fitted wardrobes had a hardboard backing so I couldnt see the wall behind them. It wasn't till I replaced the wardrobes I found the damp issue. When I fitted...

Hi, Thanks for asking 😊 It has been slow progress.... I have been fighting with an ongoing back injury so only achieving little bits at a time. I have built about 2/3rds of the bench. The last bit will be building a moveable table saw station that can be linked into the existing workbench...

I'm in the market for a new table saw. Does anyone have thoughts on the Charnwood W629? There's some reviews on here that say "it's pants" but doesn't go in to any detail. So was wondering if anyone had first had usage of one? Or should I look for something else? I was looking for something...

Just bought a new freezer. I put one of the energy monitors on our old freezer and I have to admit I was shocked. It never turned off and was always running, so guessing it never got cold enough. Did some calculations and it worked out at approx. 1500kwh a year. New freezer is projected to...

It bugs me too now I know about it 😁 Never noticed before until I put the router table in. When using the fence its fine, as the fence sits over the join between the router bed and saw bed. The issue I'm seeing is when using a flush trim bit to freehand route as it snags on the high point in...

Hi everyone I've been adding a router bed to my rage 5s table saw today. Could not get the wooden router bed flush with the table saw bed. I was convinced the wood was warped. However upon inspection of the table saw bed, it seems as though that is curved from front to back. See picture with a...

Thanks for all the different thought processes from you all. It's given me some different ideas to think about. That's why I love this forum, everyone thinks differently and you are always guaranteed multiple options

Should have mentioned, it's a 3 piece ladder, so I can get on the roof as and when, so the telescopic ladder would be to short.. Good shout though with the thinking outside the box

Afternoon all, I'm wondering if anyone has some guidance for the best way to design a workbench in the garage. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of dedicated workshop so am having to build the workbench around storing other things that you might have in a garage. I need somewhere to store...

we have one of these Bosch twk7203. Works really well for the wife as she loves her fruity teas which are best at 80°c. No idea about the energy saving, but every little bit helps surely.

Thanks for the input all, much appreciated. I need to get my thinking hat on for its next journey. Guess I have plenty of time though 😉

The parent in laws were going to take this piece of wood to the local tip. So I kindly said I would take it off their hands to save them moving it 😉 So the question is, anyone got a clue what it might be? Would it be classed as spalted? I suppose the next question is what to do with it...

Thanks for the input. Gives me a few things to think about. Thank you

Sorry my fault, I put length, I meant 2m high. The width would be 60cm

Hi all, Bit of guidance/input would be much appreciated. I plan on making some cupboards from 18mm ply approx 200cm X 60cm X 50cm (H x W x D), and will need a number of shelves fitting. I was wondering what you think about the method for attaching shelves that can be adjusted if needed. I was...

I have the bandq Mac Allister scarifier/raker. It's sturdy enough for my needs. As gcusick said, the collection bag is pretty useless and fills up within seconds. Only thing I would check is that you can get replacement tines as they break over time. I found this place only eBay that sells...

I suppose it depends on how fancy you want to be. I opted for the baton on a wall approach, with screws spaced for the holes in the sanding discs

I recently used 3m duraposts at 3m intervals with featherboard edging with a height of 2m. Was really easy to install by myself. So far so good. Maybe I went a bit overboard with the holes, but I thought about 3ft in postcrete should keep it sturdy. They seem pretty tough. And are meant to be...

Just remember make sure an Alexa or mobile phone over hears you saying "i'll buy it when it's on offer" put it in your Amazon basket... And wait 😁
