Ok then lets stick to the 'rules'.... I don't watch the Royals as I don't like them. I just have seen that the Queen has passed away. I don't wish all her family and the nation much sympathy and may the change over be smooth.

lol media induced c*** led by grant chasing pseudo scientists. Good drama though! Quote 'Aerosols from volcanic plumes confined to the troposphere are washed out by precipitation in a matter of weeks, making their climatic impacts relatively minor and much more localised.' Hence leading...

I cannot believe this thread! It's just a cup in a bin! Just do the world a favour and put it in the right bin, then go and enjoy your life. Why all the fuss for g--- sake!

Commercially, I would be assessing it thus. If I were to make chairs from it and IF all components were to be all made from the planks, then I could make no more than 4 chairs. If I then evaluate my labour and my overheads, I think anyone can easily see that, actually, this timber is worth...

This ' Climate change' is not exclusive to the Holocene. The climate has changed many times and has always re balanced. This climate change is not unique. A bit further along the coast you will see the high chalk cliffs. These represent a massive carbon drawdown from a hot house time beyond...

omg! Just flatten it, sharpen it and then get on with it. Tools are for doing work with' not fussing over.

Amazing post. Incredulous!

A tool roll is a good gauge for sharpening skills. If the chisels fall out the bottom within 24 hours you know you have a future.

'to get an emergency generator for the house so that we can function during power cuts and maybe for a while if Mr Putin does his worst.' lol can I have your address please so I can warm up and have a hearty meal? ( that's if the Red Army hasn't emptied your freezer first)

Message to the budding realists out there. You don't need these expensive tools to create beautiful furniture. Just learn how to sharpen and hone well. All you need is a few good old tools, as long as they have Sheffield steel, because it is the best in the world. Get all your advice from...

Speaks volumes to me. Anyone that uses the ignore button (and brags about it) has just a small part of the knowledge of others. I know who I would rather learn from.

I have always used my Tormek, then a couple of years ago purchased a Sorby because I thought I could refurbish a few knives and other tools. Didn't have much luck with the Sorby, found it hard to adapt the jigs to grind the angles needed. It's just a toy really. On the whole this machine is far...

I went through the same ten years ago. Greedy landlord. No where to locate to. I had to go into voluntary liquidation. The machinery was not wanted here. It all went to third world countries. UK doesn't want industry, it thinks it can get along fine with admin and offices and internet. All the...

The danger is bowing and twist and that is about balance of the components. What you do to one side you must always do to the other. It's also about the quality of the board that's delivered to you and the atmospheric conditions in the home. It's also about size. Long slim doors are always at...

This is not acceptable natural shrinkage, it is careless manufacture. Very, very few companies care these days about customer relations and social media threats wont really work and yes the most they will do is replace the top leaving you with the fitment bill.The worktop is unlikely made by the...

All those timbers good. My additional advice is think very carefully about the slat sizes for the top shelf and their orientation. The design shown in the link cuts a lot of light out to the plants on the shelf below.

Completely agree with this. All doors must be coated top and bottom. Nearly all never are. Also I wood investigate the quality of the timber from the supplier. Many failures, in my time, have been down to re-active timber.

Haven't read it much Mr ey tony don't flatter yourself

lol You need a good pair of scribers and a line to follow the vertical edge of the cabinet Prizen. The above comment will only help you if you live in a castle...carpenters axe.. lmao.
