I would like to get a mitre saw but I’m unsure about sizes… 12 inch would be great but is that overkill for furniture making? And can you get away with multiple cuts with a smaller blade? I’ve been looking at evolution and Bosch as brands so any advice would be really great 👍

Hey @mikej460 Ive tried to remove the bolts. A few of them are concreted in and the others aren’t as accessible because they are on the neighbours side. Im going to try to use the adhesive and see what happens. Thank you though!

Ok I’ll try to use the adhesive with maybe a 20mm tiny wall plug- hopefully it should help! I won’t go as far next time! Thanks again everyone- it seems the drill is really good 👍

Hi everyone (literally a year later!) I decided to bite the bullet and get an Titan SDS drill. It really tears through the concrete! Only issue is that it made some breakout on the other side! I patched it up though. Essentially I’ve now put up the clamp rack which is great! I am finding...

What other companies would you recommend?

How do people feel about the Axminster price increases? They’ve gone up since last year. Must be something to do with Brexit and shipping containers. Have you guys had good experiences with other machine companies in the UK?

What wood did you use for the 4” posts? Was it redwood?

Thank you so much- I’m going to try the cross bracing and hopefully that will help. It’s moving a little left and right. So I’ll try that and see how I get on. I was thinking of this new structure if not out of maybe some redwood?

Hi everyone- thanks for the suggestions. It’s a Clarke workbench legs- they are a little thin for the weight they need to hold. I was thinking of upgrading it or changing it but was struggling to find a good way of doing it.

Hi everyone! I’ve made a workbench with some prebrought metal legs but finding that it is a little wobbly. The bench is to hold a pillar drill, sander and possible wet stone grinder. (120kg in total) Can anybody suggest or have an example of a machine style bench made from wood? Maybe one...

Thanks again everyone!

Does it have to be 18mm thick? Or can it be less- I want to use french cleats on the walls?

Osb or plywood for lining the interior of a garage wall?

Thank you so much everyone. I’m going to stick with tube/Batton lights and try and hit the right LUX levels. exciting stuff!

I currently have 6 fluorescent lights (five foot each) in my garage. If I’m updating these- do I need the same in LED or can I get away with less? Lastly, can anyone recommend some good LED lights?

This is really cool, look forward to the updates!

Ac153e from Axminster is really good- it is their most powerful craft chip extractor they do. I think it is suitable for ducting on a medium run too.

Hi- the roof age I’m not too sure about. It came up on the survey that it contains asbestos. Trims are included and it is non insulated. Garage is 3.5m x 6m Shed is 4m by 1.5m I hope this answers the questions. I want to remove it as I don’t believe it’s safe and would like to have a green...

I was quoted £3000- £5100 for a garage and brick shed roof replacement . Has anybody had their garage roof replaced and if so would you mind sharing how much it cost? I have an asbestos roof and that needs to be changed as soon as possible, but I don’t want to be ripped off! Based in Kent too...
