    Etsy

    I have used Etsy for a while now and don't really push the selling side as much as it can be pushed. However, I enjoy my hobby of making bandsaw boxes in my retirement but it is never a money making situation. The returns help to cover some of the cost of materials. Charges for listing are very...

    On light duties

    Pleased that they found the problem and sorted it. Quite remarkable what the health service can do when needs must. Take it easy and I hope it all returns to normal for you. All the best Malcolm

Just search for BS400 on here and you can also 'Google' it for video's you will find themall. Let...

    Fantastic job. Well done. It's amazing what technology can do with the CNC routers. Malcolm

    WHAT IS IT ?

    No, but never sure when my 'Pit' will be ready for occupation. Too settled in this house after 20 years. Still time for you to pop in sometime! Malcolm

    WHAT IS IT ?

    After all these years, no knowing if it would cause damage to the main drains system, so I'll leave it be. I have written a note with marker pen on a plastic sleve and inserted that in a waterproof bag to leave in the pit for others. Malcolm

    WHAT IS IT ?

    Ahhhhh ...... I managed to get in touch with someone who was involved in the pool building 30 years ago. He seems to recall that it was a connection to the mains to drain the pool. Something that possibly would be frowned upon these days? As the pool has a thick green plastic tray with central...

    WHAT IS IT ?

    Although not strictly woodwork, it is connected with my repairs of the garden trellis. Needing to move slabs to get at post bases, I came across two pits. I knew the electric one on the right was there, but had no idea that the one on the left was there and we have been here 20 years. Looks...

    Similar or is one better than the other - Douglas Fir or Siberian Larch for 3.3m fence posts ?

    SIP 16" Good Bandsaw Gone Bad.

    More cleaning on a regular basis would help with your bandsaw. Buildup of sap and sawdust can only add to your problems.

    SIP 16" Good Bandsaw Gone Bad.

    I wonder if the blade has twisted in some way? Have you tried another blade? Your location on your 'Profile' may help you if there is someone nearby? Malcolm

    Fencing/Trellis Demolition

    Spoken with Sykes Timber merchants who suggested Siberian Larch, kiln dried and fully seasoned, as a durable timber alternative. The prices are lower than Cedar and at £545 inc vat and delivery for 10 posts may go for that. Just waiting to hear back from someone else. Approximately how long...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    Thanks Mike. The chair is a rather special one. It was part of a dining suite that my father bought many years ago where the two carvers had matching lions heads. The second one was sold with the suite and may still be somewhere in the country. Cromwell, as we call him, is a bonus we love...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    My daughter asked me to make a box suitable for the house and car keys of their family of four. They requested a lift off lid rather than one that was hinged, so this is what I came up with. using a large key as the lifting handle. The box has been flock loned and finished with Tru-Oil...
