    Finished wheels

    These have a C shaped steel channel welded in a circle, then heated and shrunk onto the wheel, the rubber tyre then goes in that

    Van ramp

    Be careful when it reaches the point of no return. I unloaded a Wadkin RS in the region of a ton and it shot out like a scud missile. Thankfully all was well 😁

    decent hand plane wanted /recommendations

    I'd spend the money on either lie nielsen or veritas. For your budget you could get an apron plane, and he'll have something to last a lifetime. Lie Nielsen especially will hold its price, often increasing in value

    I grew up in a cloud of smoke, both my parents were chain smokers and died early for it.

    Double ground vs triple ground teeth on a handsaw?

    Reminds me of the new razors they're always bringing out, each one with an additional blade. I use a traditional razor with blades made by Feather in Japan, and it beats any of them

    best pound for pound all round router?

    Festool if you've got deep pockets, the OF2200 if you envisage doing lots of regular heavy work or the less costly OF1400 for regular use. For a more cost friendly option you couldnt go wrong with a big makita, Ive had two which have been worked very hard and never missed a beat over the years...

    Can anyone tell me how this table has been made?

    I've worked with joiners that should have been taken to court for misrepresentation, talk about rough

    Dust mask advice please

    I've only ever worn a mask when doing dust generating operations like sanding, routing etc and have survived 46 years at it. You wont want or need to wear one with hand tools

    French Cleats For Workshop Storage

    One of those cleats would hold the weight you're loading them with. Kitchen wall cabinets only have a bracket at each top corner and will take a substantial load

    I seem to remember the guy with the track saw having a sawblade made with the appropriate shaped teeth, great idea

    What happened to Woodwork UK?

    Yes it had a higher proportion of pros than the others, which made it different, but everyone seems to have drifted away.
