is it ok and safe to burn accoya offcuts in a domestic woodburner? Considering starting to use it but frankly if I can't burn the offcuts then its pointless and extremely wasteful.

I'd just laminate the oak straight together. No messing with accoya, from what I know the prices are the same anyway (?) for your cill sections glue up 3" x 5" & 1.5" x 5". And for the Jambs you want 2.5" & 1.5". PU glue and plenty of cramps. Keep the thinner laminations to the inside as the...

Air gun every time. I got combo pack from rutland for about £70 - £100 I think. Bostich. Have been faultless for years. 23ga + 18ga

I have restored similar in the past and used Sapele

No no no don't make life so hard me old boy. Why struggle working these things out when the guys at your timber merchants do it all day long? I order a lot of timber regularly. I used to spend hours working out the lengths and widths needed - RIDICULOUS! Just write out your own personal...

Today I took delivery of a set of systainers that make up my new toolbox station! Some jazzy festool organiser boxes and sys cart. I spent the rest of the day looking at it and going "kkoorrr"

Brilliant!

:lol: that i am very aware of! you only need witness it once. That and having knots at the end of a board - like they're loaded with dynamite!

My god if I had a penny for every time something didn't work first time.... Well, I wouldn't be messing about with woody things - i'd be drinking cocktails at the bongo la go go You'll be so used trial, error and adjustment in the end it just becomes second nature and expected on nearly everything

This........is the only & true way!

Today I made 4 traditional saw horses using some Meranti that I had lying around and decided were good for nothing frankly. I had allowed 4 hours, it took me 8! very pleased with the new shop additions though. They will certainly make life easier in future!

Id just be grateful it wasn't you who did it for him and get back to yer coffee and cake haha!

Having woodwork machines stolen is the least of your worries! I'd be More concerned about the Festools!

Interesting one about using push sticks on a P/T. I think it's down to personal preference. I feel I only have full control if using my bare hands. If planing wide boards I'm more than happy to run my hands over the cutter block with the board between. As others have said - a well waxed surface...

The only MDF I am happy using these days is MRMDF. It's great to do internal stuff with and also no need to sand / seal the edges. has a nice dense feel and not much more than regular MDF

Don't really have an issue with the length of his fence but your right, he is using far too much glue. He should have spoken about the importance of coordinating the boards so that the rings run in opposite directions, which help to stabilise and avoid cupping. It does run along side choosing...

I must be honest I thought this would have had loads of takers. No one remotely interested?

Good morning people, Not been on in a while, been setting up my workshop for the past forever and a day and keeping my head above water. However it is now all done and shweet. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in part-renting my workshop, with access and availability to you at the...

I have a wadkin ags 12" in good nick that I paid £550 for. Mine is 1962 though so pretty old. great saw though! spare parts on old wadkins cost a bomb if you have to buy the original, as they make them to order. Sounds pricey to me. with more work and potential problems involved.
