Great, thanks Adam

Thanks for the reply but not really an answer to the question i was asking. As my chisels and planes are primarily used for carpentry they get a nick on them now and then and it seems to take forever to get them back to what i want. This is why i use the Sorby, it also has 1200 and 3000 grit...

I have a Sorby Pro Edge for sharpening. I am wary of overheating the steel, especially when getting to a higher grit, what is the best way to cool them? i have read its best to avoid water cooling. Thanks Mark

Im with misterdog, this is the right way to do it.

I have a garage which is my workshop, it has an electric door and no handles or locks, it also has an alarm inside. I have another outside room that is alarmed but it has those anti bump/snap key locks. We also have some cameras dotted around, so it might prevent some chancers but not everyone...

What the hell is that lol??

I have been looking to buy a drill stand but am struggling to find anything decent to use with a forstner bit. I will only be using a bit of upto 50mm diameter but i just need something to help keep it straight, easy to store away, sturdy and decent quality. I have read a few posts earlier but...

Afternoon all, I want to make a jig so i can use my router to make crate handles. I have seen it done with a forstner bit and then cut out with a jigsaw, problem is i dont have a pillar drill or similar. I have had a google around but cant find anything. I could just rout out square openings...

Hello everyone, i have replaced my bench worktop with a mrmdf sheet. More so now with the current prices of sheet goods i am thinking of applying a coating of some sort to give a little protection from spillages etc (i know its MRMDF). Has anyone any recommendations? i do have a tin of no...

Thanks for all of your comments, plaster came to look at the job and seemed quite pleased with what had been done. Cheers everyone 👍🏻

Thanks, i cant really do the dot and dab as i have cornice around the top of the whole room and it might look a bit odd. I will just make sure i put scrim tape around all of the joints.

Its an external wall to the conservatory and basically i am closing the opening up as we have another access route to it, im just going into the sides of the external wall.

Cheers, will have a look at those.

Drywall screws for going into stone???? I am fixing the side studs into stone.

Hello everyone, I am constructing a stud wall to fill a double doorway to close the room off and have a couple of questions. We will be plastering the whole wall and not just the opening, so with this in mind i thought it might be best to fit a plasterboard flush with the existing wall on...

Well the company i purchased from sent out another and guess what, its great and just as expected. The top seems very flat and the blade is square. What an absolute palaver? but in the end all is good. Thanks everyone for your comments, its very much appreciated. 👍🏻

No No No - cant afford or justify that price and my wife would probably bury me alive.
