Hi Pardon the ignorance but what is "draw file"? The curve isn't going to be a problem as I Ahem. Already cut the hole in the top with slightly wrong radius corners. :oops: Mark

First thought was file but the few I have are quite coarse. I've just tried them on the corner of my aluminium ladder and they give quite a course finish hence the thought of sanding, though yes wet dry I can see will be better Mark

Why? Well I bought an aluminium router table plate and cut the hole in my table top for it. All fine up to that point. I've now got a second plate with a different hole configuration that I want to use instead. It's from the same company as the original plate but is clearly a slightly newer...

Thanks for the suggestions Mark

Any advice on couriers. I need to list a couple of items on ebay. I've weighed them and they're going to cost nearly 15 quid by royal mail, which I think will put people off. Both items weigh about 3.5 kg. I had a look on money saving expert who recommend MyHermes. I went on the site and I...

MM (Bob?) That sounds interesting. I too can rarely be bothered to set up the dado stack. How does that blade perform in different material? Eg hard and soft wood both with and along the grain and ply and mdf. I'm thinking of the cleaness of the edges of the cut. Mark

I'm a bit late to this thread but have a q for Steve M if he's still listening. Would the fence in you DVD scale down for a bandsaw? I have a kity 613 so fairly small. I don't care if it looks bulky as long as it would not be too big to be practical. As the owner of a genuine biesmeyer if it's...

Thank god I don't work at Odiham anymore, would have cost me a fortune Mark

Freud make a glue line rip blade that they claim is smooth enough off the saw for edge jointing. It is triple chip and I think 30 teeth on the 10 inch version. I think I've got one somewhere but never used it yet. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=10630 Mark

Steve You mentioned elsewhere you are starting to develop some new material / DVDs . What are you planning to cover? Best wishes Mark

Have a look here, there is a list of men's sheds and info on how to start one up http://www.menssheds.org.uk/ Mark

Have a look at Bedec Barn Paint, quick google search brings it up. Mark

I would carry on and finish this bench, even if you have to "bodge" a few bits. Then use it for a good while, get a feel for the elements you like and those you don't. Decide if the dimensions are right for you. Use it to make some stuff and practice the skills you need to make the next one...

Thanks guys So out of interest, what is lint, and why are we needing to be free of it? Mark

Maybe a daft question but what exactly is a lint free cloth? I remember last time I bought some they seemed expensive for what they were. So is there a free alternative? If not are these suitable for applying oil, wax etc? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1kg-Polishing ... 27d2698c21 Cheers Mark

Ok guys, fair point. Other than the holes exactly what am I looking for and how do I know if I have them whether they are still live / active? Mark

Hi I've just picked up some old joists to make into a cupboard top and shelves. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to treat them for worm just in case. Can anyone recommend what to use? Also, would I treat the wood before or after I've planed them up? Cheers Mark
