Really enjoyed the picture story of that piece! superb - makes me want to put the heating on in my workshop/garage and turn some wood.

Toy car now sorted - they are not as rare as I thought just look on ebay.

Just helping out the family who like recycles scaffold board furniture. Yes; I'm about to make some of the stuff I've now got orders for coffee table, shoe rack, log box should have kept my mouth shut - to quote "how much !" and "I could make a better job than those !" . So can any body...

That's a good idea for the wife's Christmas present - and I nearly bought her a set of windscreen wipers. :lol:

Thanks for that lead KimG - I found it fascinating how the spalting is formed never new there were different colours, I'll probably get arrested now for climbing trees looking for fungi to rub on my wood pile.

Thanks for the reply Pete - I like the one you have shown, its full of character. Looks like I'm cutting it down and keeping for later, hopefully its got some burrs and character.

Anybody got a view on silver birch for wood turning - looks like I will be taking a large one down - is it fire wood or worth saving and drying out.

Thanks for the reply scrimper - looks like I'm still on the right tracks with a Hegner with some extras. fred.

Typical !! after reading all I could about scroll, saw mostly from you lot and deciding to bid for a Hegner in Barnsley which I failed to win - you find another brand for me to lust over !! - Please someone how knows; what machine would suit me ! - want to make 30 to 45 degree cut to form...

Just a thought; my grandson is just getting mobile and for a present was going to get him a pedal car. But have you seen the price of some of the old tin boxes that I and I'm sure many of you used when we were kids pheew. Yes; you get the picture I'm going to build one. So any body got an...

Yes agree with what's been said - imagine being a worm what you want is softer wood that's damp not hard or dry or soaking or treated, easier to bite into. That's why older roof and floor timbers that are prone to water either from rain or poor DPC suffer most. Symptoms of live woodworm fine...

I/we (me and my brother) caught a burglar round our houses and yes we gave him what most of you would like to do - a right good thrashing and kicking (not a young lad but a man of 35!). The police I found excellent saying what and how to put in a written report in regarding the incident...

Thanks for reply - I found it really helpful to learn for someone who's more advanced than me. Very impressed with the width of those cuts. Again thanks Fred.

Good to see others are as trusting as me. The old additive seem appropriate - Trust no one and they never let you down!. I wouldn't mind but I'm a DIYer and find faults by approved / qualified people.

This one maybe a lesson for others. Modernising some electrics so to be safe pulled out the fuse, started to work got a tingle and could not believe it so touched it again got another tingle !! luckily nothing more. Checked the fuse and pulled them all out - now checked with meter and still...

Someone always knows the answer - last winter my union grad on a couple of occasions got a light coat of rust probability due to condensation (kept in the shed/double garage no heating) this was cured with WD40 and a rub down. Since then I've bought iron topped bandsaw and startrite saw bench...

Love the jig but impressed by the band saw ability - I have a few log and stumps from farmer friends and I'll love to band saw some slices off - so being new to this game could I ask what band saw do you have and what blade did you use - I have a scheppach basato 3h and beginning to think I...

Those look good - thanks bearhug - oops sorry BugBear; now to wait to see what comes up for sale on this site, if nothing reasonable comes up I'm just going to buy new scroll saw.
