    Power tools

    Only for a few years in my life have I had enough money to buy decent professional tools - and at that very time I had little use for them, so I have relied on the cheaper brands, and when living in Austria this tended to be Bosch DIY quality, but then I was doing much heavier work. I sent an...

    Why has my table cupped?

    Going back to your particular problem if it's for use in a garage the humidity will change a lot during the year so it is unlikely to stay flat, I use alternating direction of growth rings and have found a rolled to is more useful than a prominently curved one. I've never used scaffold boards...

    Hexagon Shelves - Am I mad?

    We all need some bonkers time in our lives. I like the shelves, although I would not have them in my workshop even if I had the room, probably because I err towards the engineer rather than the artist and my shelves are purely practical.

    The end of woodwork as we know it?

    Yes, Jacob .... Moving back to the subject, yyou could still use your saw to cut lengths of 75x50 from b&q to chop into kindling, it's cheaper than buying a bag of it!

    "FACT!"

    Back to dogs - mine seem to chose the longest grass or most difficult place to clear up after them - FACT.

    "FACT!"

    I have always thought the serif face is regarded as easier to read, I suppose I was told this fact many years ago. I do wonder if, assuming it to be true, it is because the top half of characters convey the most information about the letter in most cases, and serif fonts have more detail in...

    Another floor tile question!

    I didn't think of that, I have something like that with a 3" blade - for chopping through tree roots, I could see if it works as it is or sharpen the blade a bit (I wear safety shoes!). Something I did learn last time was not to walk on vinyl flooring if you have any of the tar on your shoes -...

    cheap lathe

    I saw this advertised today - looks like it needs a spring clean but at that price it might help a starter. I would buy it as I don't have a lathe but just don't have the room. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/235560882200645

    Another floor tile question!

    This summer I will be taking off the vinyl flooring in my kitchen, then the underneath cork tiles, leaving the tar or whatever that stuck the cork tiles down then I want to lay ceramic tiles. The hallway had cork tiles which I removed - but then spent ages getting a flattish surface on the tar...

    Froe

    How about one of these to split wood? My friend enjoys repairing and restoring old machines, so this is attached to the ancient tractor he has, he also likes felling and splitting enough timber from his forest for a years heating for the house and his workshop. Stand clear!!

    ChatGPT - artificial intelligence.

    Surely not - often people on this forum say sharpening is a personal choice (usually to defuse a strong discussion I think), AI just has it's own way:).

    5mm Thick Bathroom wall cladding 250mm Wide

    Yes, yes and yes. I ran a thin bead of silicon along the joints just in case - but only for a few panels where there is a chance of water, not for the rest of the bathroom. If you need to fit anything through the panel I found it best to make a hole bigger than the screws and use stainless...
