Hey, would love to see some photos. When was it purchased, is it still in warranty?

That's a beautiful bench! Am I right in thinking it's set up for a left hander?

Yeah I think it's the same where I live but more like £300. My plan is pretty simple and I hope not controversial so I'll have my fingers crossed.

@TomGW thanks for this, no offence whatsoever, this is exactly the sort of advice I was after. If I were building under permitted development, my mental image of how things would progress is - I'd create an overarching plan of what I want (I already have this, and in some areas quite detailed...

I’m planning to build a workshop in our garden. I know you can build one without planning permission under permitted development, but you’re limited to 2.5m height which probably only gets you 2.1ish internal. I’m 1.9m so this isn’t super roomy. The rear boundary of our garden is a 3m high wall...

Hey, I could be interested in all of the above potentially. Do you have photos / descriptions you could share? What would you be looking sell them for?

Books I've been looking to buy The Stick Chair Book by lost are press for a while but it remains stubbornly out of stock. I'd also be interested in Good Work, the chairmaking life of John Brown. I'm wondering if anybody has copies they'd sell. Tools I'm also in the market for a reamer and...

The restoration he did and the dust extraction he added looked excellent! I'd love a saw like that but don't have the confidence that I could pull it off alone. It would have been an awesome thing to do with my Grandad who was an engineer and very mechanically capable but sadly that opportunity...

Thanks everybody for all the advice. If we get back into the property I'll be sure to do some more digging to see what the walls are, is there anything visible from the outside etc. We have a couple of other niggling doubts so will weigh up whether we go for the offer and if we do I'll be sure...

@Argus, would that be waiting something else to come up?

It's an old (victorian I think) brick building. The cracking is largely at the top around the loft conversion. From what people have said, it sounds like it might not be terminal and going ahead an offering would be reasonable. I'm guessing the more expensive building/structural survey will be...

I had asked the estate agent about it and this is what the vendor had to say: "I’m pretty sure they were there when we bought the place eight years ago. We patched them up when we decorated at the time. They’ve reappeared the last couple of years though and the one by the bathroom became more...

The picture shows the second floor. Half a flight of stairs takes you up from the first floor onto a landing where you have the cracks either side and then up again takes you to the loft. The bathroom in the loft (bottom of picture) also has cracking around the ceiling joint. I believe the loft...

Wow! That puts the cracks in some perspective. I haven't seen anything from the outside, but the interior cracks are thin and near the top of the building so they could be there and just hard to see at a glance.

Hi all, A house we're considering making an offer on has visible cracking in a few places. The most alarming is on the upper landing where there are long cracks running down the walls on either side of the landing. They're only a couple of mm wide but quite long, photos attached. In the...

This is the sort of thing she's looking to do. So interesting log slices. It seems like they're popular for wedding centerpieces but if you're going to go through the hard work of prepping and printing them, you want something a bit more interesting than the standard wedding offerings...

Does anybody know of any timberyards that stock cookies?

My mum is pretty crafty and came across somebody making prints from cookies. They look pretty cool and she is keen to have a go. I'm hoping to source her one or two for Christmas to have a play with. Size-wise anything from about 15-60cm diameter would be suitable. For interesting prints the...

I'm going to be moving away for one year or more and need to pack away my hand tools and protect them from rust whilst I'm away. A few of my tools are already a bit tarnished from sweaty days in the shop this summer so I know the first step will be cleaning them up. - What is the best /...

2nd dibs on the 2 3/8 if it doesn't work out :)
