Can I ask what voltage and amps you use please. I’m looking at getting a 30v 10A PS myself and know it will be adequate but just curious as to what settings you use. Amongst other things(im an electrician ), I’m planning on possibly using it for old tool restorations. Kind Regards..........Rob

Thank you. I did think that the foil tape will provide enough of a vapour barrier especially since I’ve taped the joists too. Kind Regards..........Rob

Hi everyone, I just wanted to post here to ask what you think about this situation. I am currently insulating my workshop roof and as you can see insulated with Kingspan insulation board I’m now going to ply over this, however I am unsure whether I need to bother with a vapour barrier. I know...

They look great to be honest HOJ. Thanks for sharing

Thanks Brian, not bothered about it being iron on but know what you mean about american. My project is in european oak. Regards...Rob

I want to get some oak veneer roll for sticking to some already purchased ply. I have the ply already and the project is semi built so not going to purchase veneered ply. It will be my first time doing this and I’ve browsed the net but unsure where best and most cost effective to buy from. Any...

Hi adhb, its great to see you enjoying your woodworking and expanding the operations. Dust Extraction: If it were me, I would buy the best most powerful dust extraction you can get. I only have a single garage sized workshop and use a Henry with a long hose but it does me for now, i just move...

This situation is very similar to mine. I'm going to insulate the roof and the wood garage door properly but as for the walls... with it being not much distance between the internal brick walls, i cant afford to lose any from it as it just eats into the available space and its not wide enough as...

Thanks for the offer Ian. I will let you know if I pop over.

Ive been told by three separate people experienced in woodworking that it is. Maybe the photos aren’t clear and you can tell better in person. The wood was from recycled oak doors in my house.

Yes Ian, thanks and I agree, you are right and its actually one of the lessons that I learned. Rob

Well its got a few imperfections but I did it purely to practice my skills and I learned hell of a lot (I'm a relative beginner). It was made from salvaged old Mahogany skirting that was going in the skip on a job. I dovetailed the sides but didn't dovetail the drawers. It's for storing seeds...

Thanks for the heads up. I will put battens behind anyway, whichever product choose if I do go ahead with this.

yes might be an option but was just trying to use some palletwood i have and is free too.

Yes, see your point. Can’t be any heavier than plasterboard or ply though I guess.

That was my way of thinking too.

Hi all, i was after knowing what you all think about my shop roof plans. It’s a standard garage sized workshop with traditional apex joisted roof. It has a new roof, tiles, soffits, gutters etc done in last couple of years. As you can see, there’s just a membrane between the tile and the shop. I...

In all honesty, I must admit, it’s is starting to become an obsession so I’m getting there slowly 🤣😂👍🏼

mmmmmm. I was pondering this myself at the weekend. I do have a jar of standard grease to be fair so was going to give that a try. I was wondering about graphite lubrication in powder from but dont have any. Kind Regards... Rob

Cant see me losing anything in my "too small" single garage workshop!
