Lovely box - but Laburnum ! - I've got what I thought was a laburnum and its outer is yellowish and inner almost black a real contrast. No doubt I've got it wrong and got something thats spreading disease/fungus to my stock. Anyway it looks good and I love the colour. Need to get a -...

One thing about this site I love - some of you do take the p~ss but nicely. It was a daft thought but one of the members who has access to milling maybe offering to help me out - so no flowers or missing teeth here. Thanks all. Fred

Just bought a mitre gauge for my startrite benchsaw from ebay Yes was cheap £24 but sturdy enough to turn out angles once sorted ! - Yep cheap, it is too thick and needs 1/8th planing / milling off the bottom to make it fit level with the iron top - do you think feeding it through my union...

Sorry Chippygeoff - import duty !! write on a lesser value !! sound like there's more to buying from America than I thought, It still feels strange to me that blades made in Germany seem not to be available direct or at least in the UK; even Amazon or e-bay deflect you towards $ sites -...

Hello Murdock - I have a 2008 Toyota Hiace 2.5 D4D the white van. What can I say - slower than most, cramped driving position if you are tall, not the biggest loading area, not a lot of kit inside, not the most economical (40mpg max n empty, 32mph normal) - But love it to bits; it gets...

Thanks for that Andy - I always look good hanging out the washing with marbelled nails and fancy pegs and no photos will not be released. Maybe a good idea for the woman in your life - Christmas surprise present - a set of marblled pegs; I wonder if any body else has thought of that. Now to...

Thanks bugbear - you are right the paints are oil based. It must be the Yorkshire in me thought the cheap acrylic was the same. Just tried a small kit bought from the show (brian clegg from Manchester) and it does float gives some good vivid colours on the wife's clothes pegs.

Just been to the Harrogate show and was really impressed with the marbelling finish by one of the exhibitors. So off to the shops bought some acrylic paints - filled a container with water; next tried to float the slightly watered down paint on the surface ! and of course it sank ! - don't...

I have done a little work damproofing and insulating cold walls to stop condensation in houses which lead to hanging thermal linings (woolly wallpaper). I have used heavy duty wall paper paste which failed so now I always use - wallrock thermal liner adhesive. It comes in 5 and 10kg premixed...

A new switch is on order (£16) - when fitted will report fixed or not its may help someone later with a problem. Thanks for assistance. New switch arrived - not what I ordered but reading the small print; if Charnwood did not have one would send an equivalent - KJD6 instead of KJD20...

Thanks thats the switch - I hope it solves the problem had a goggle and ordered one from Charnwood -

Just been in the man cave and my saws thrown a wobbly - rexon variable speed. when I press the green on button it starts but stops once the button is released. It did have a slight delay prior to starting up before; So I suspect the NV switch (KJD20-2) anybody had similar problem ! any other...

Hi went up to the show - too many tools don't know how I manage without them; but decided to not buy the BS 400 (down to £899 for the show ! so tempted ) going to make my old one work harder. But bought a makita router and patiot chuck for the graduate and bits and pieces. Next year will be...

Thanks for the kind comments; the bandsaw used is a Scheppach 3h and just started making them and most of my idea come from this site (thankyou all) and youtube. This weekend going to pop into the North Of England show so who know what I will come back with (really like the record BS400...

Please be gentle; these are some of my first works and if all goes to plan there should be seven photographs (what an effort to make them smaller than 255KB). I take my hat off to some of you old hands who's show progression as you work - one day I will be there, but for for now I enjoy some...

Ha Ha! :oops: Alexam now I re-read my post I need to be careful with my words - does sound a little suspect going to end up on the "register" if i'm not careful. But then again for a bit of discount !!

Thanks both of you I will be going again to the North of England show - this time with an objective to try to knock them down as much as possible - any body reading these messages; its an excellent show for woodworking, wood and equipment; I got told off for touching one of the exhibits last...
