Practise practise and more practise. We do a LOT of putting heritage DGU’s. Currently using geocel top gun glazing putty (cost effective) that comes in a tube. But am going to give the hodgsons traditional putty ago next. Best practise with the tubes, is when cutting the nozzle, cut a large 45...

Well in pretty rapid time we have Gina and purchased a house in lower Soudley just outside Cinderford! Very excited will have to extend an existing workshop. Right in the heart of the forest! thanks for the help gents!

Nicely made door and nice to see you dealing with the knots properly. What made you choose redwood though? Modern day redwood is not really suitable for front doors is it? I may be wrong 🤷‍♂️ not trying to kill the vibes but had to ask

Yes, setting in a tad is much better than them sitting proud of the frame! It does look better also which is a bonus

I like a joint that needs to be gently malleted when dry fitting, but will slide together smoothly by hand only when glue is applied. Anything beyond that is playing with fire imo.

When we make windows I set the casements 2-3 mm deeper in the frame. They open perfectly fine up to around 5mm deep before you need to start thinking about chamfering etc. I think you’ll be fine

Have u checked out the flush ball hinges on ironmongery direct?

Nothing wrong with splicing and if it’s money & time you want to save then don’t bother replacing. Make a 45 degree cut above the rot. Prep existing timber and new timber using window care dry flex system. Slap a big old blob on one of the end grains and blob them together allowing a 5-10mm gap...

Soon to be moving to the (large) area and looking for advice / heads up from people who live there about where are the nice areas? Is it all nice? Where to avoid like the plague. We are moving here as it is a central location for us socially and family wise now. I also probably have a better...

“Juuuuust pretend I didn’t see that email there....oh... what’s this...another sale on a blacks how pleasant!” Probs best be a man And go sort out that staircase dude. Although there’s nothing worse than the return of that bar steward customer you we’re glad to see the back of....

If it’s anything like my fielder KS 500 which it looks to be then it’s a great piece of kit. You rip on the right side there is no height difference he must have it set up wrong. Don’t worry about outfeed table. Just have some rollers. You won’t be disappointed!

Forget what all these old farts have said! all you ever need is BRADITE ONE CAN ONE CAN TO RULE THEM ALL. absolutely cracking external acrylic paint! One can is all you need! With one brush, and then you feed! (?)

This thread makes me think I should really change my bench tops soon 🤣

I’d always opt for a solid timber face frame. I prefer to use a 25mm - 30mm solid timber face. Build the carcass in ply first and then cut in and fit the face frames after, as I like the lower frames to be flush with the inside edge, top frame to be flush with the outside edges and central...

I own a set of globals and absolutely love. Very good feel and balance with reputation to match. Can’t complain.

How DARE you insult my JET VORTEX CONE. Just because she doesn’t have the power to suck a dandelion dry doesn’t mean you can’t hurt her feelings like that!

Mooorning - I want to increase the power of my Jet dual extraction system. My world of engineering knowledge is suggesting that I simply have to upgrade to motor. It is currently a 3 phase motor, is it an easy swop? Can someone direct me to a more powerful motor. The more powerful the better...

At my first joinery workplace, one of our regular customers was so impressed with our work he quit his job at Toyota and begged to come and work for us. Begged for months we thought it was a joke! Eventually my boss took him on (because I left) Now he works for himself. Seems very happy. I still...
