Looking at my email now says Friday 11th and Sat 12th!

Not sure how official this is but thought I'd share. Had a personal email from Axminster t'other day saying they have a sale on this weekend and you get 10% off your highest priced item. In store only. Just booked myself in fr a 120 Kapex that comes to £855 :ho2 As I was contemplating...

Does this jig work if using rebated door linings??

Thought I'd post on here like any good forum user would do.... In the B & C grade stock of trends website they have the hinge jig for £99 + Vat Absolute bargain, just as I was looking around for one. So I bought it!

The photos are not in the correct order. whoops! The decorative sash 'horns' were one of the final procedures that I did. I think they are for decoration but also to stop the windows going fully up / down as this would cause the chords to 'bottom out'

I has some victorian sliders to make for a builder and after looking on here I found reletively little info. So I just drew my setting out and went for it! They are made in sapele hardwood and have (by request) been made using spiral spring balances. They are also double glazed and I had to...

Just to reguergitate (?) this thread instead of starting a new one... Been looking at some pretty snazzy screws lately (how sad does that sound) and have come across HECO screws from Germany as well as GRK's in the states. Both look real nice and in torx also. The Heco's are hella pricey but...

ok maybe not that blunt!

The smell! Put a chopsaw (blunter the better) through the end and have a good old sniff. Then you'll know

Blimey, good job I didn't go for i then as I was very tempted. Saying that though I would have done the same as you, gone along with it for a little while then when alarm bells start ringing id do a search..

urgh I hate you. I'm so jealous of your workshop

Is there anything out there, either a specific lock or piece of kit that can fully draft proof a rebate lock and french doors. It is a constant problem! Thanks in advance

5mm wooden block with bevelled edges. The only other thing you can do is make a complete false rebate but like chripsy says, why bother. you will need one top and bottom or over time, the doors will twist towards wherever there is no block Just make the blocks as thing as possible, like i...

I recently brought a Bosch Gas 15L shop vac. It's great but I just have one major gripe with it. It seems to me that the bag can never fill up anywhere near to full capacity as the filter in the vacuum is sitting on half the dust bag. Ridiculous! Or am I doing something wrong? Does it even need...

Wow....that is VERY cheap. And its a 120!

BAHAHAHA American Oak - as the timber. If he's selling a lot at that price I bet he makes a killing. I like it, but I think after I made the first 30 i'd start losing the will to live

James Lathams?

I'm almost certain that if I was to M&T 4 square components together, mitre in 4 lengths of bought-in moulding, pin, fill and prime, I could do it 40% quicker than doing it the proper way. I agree with you temple, If something is going to take longer than I thought, no matter how painstakingly...

I imagine he just buys lengths of ovolo moulding. Just bang 4 lengths of square cut timber together, pin on 4 lengths of moudling and BANG. I always thought he managed to thrash things out his workshop at a pace! now I know why!

I'm a joiner. I suppose still a young one compared to most, but at 27 I have my own business and workshop and fully believe I have trained 'properly' and to not lower my standards, just to make an extra £40 a week or whatever savings that corner cutting makes these days. There is another...
