I was appalled by this video, how bloody stupid can you be... This afternoon, ripping down some 4x2 to 3x2 on my trusty old Elu, I didn't bother with the kerf guide, only a short rip, why bother. Then decided to crosscut to length, so flip the saw over and... accidentally hit the on switch...

Why not hold the router on his lap and use his throbber as a guide pin

I decided to re-skin our old metal garage door in Tricoya mdf. I will be attaching a base of 6mm over the whole door and have cut and profiled a frame and panel effect in 12mm that I want to stick onto this The horizontals are 10cm x the width of the door and there are five vertical 10x20cm...

How about a golf ball as a nob, I saw this done somewhere and apparently they work really well.

I'm leaning towards this bloke, http://www.linseedpaintcompany.co.uk/index.html he seems to have a non BS sort of approach to his products and tells it straight. It looks like he has sussed the mildew thing out as well. I like that you can customise this paint simply by using pigment and...

Well, here's my tale of woe with paint. When I moved into my house it was about four years old and the owners had done nothing to it from new. Brilliant you may think, no bodges. Then I noticed how yellow the gloss work looked when compared to the new paint I was using, on I merrily went...

Bliss, just what I have been looking for. I have a mountain of elaborate gazebo's and trellis both existing and soon to be built that I think this paint will be perfect for. Thanks for the info Jacob and that link Coley Steve.

Hi Mike, if your looking for the Triton 2000 Workcentre, I have a real cracker that I bought just before Xmas that I found I can't use in my workshop. It in fantastic hardly used condition. Steve.

I stumbled upon this site and have been glued to it, so interesting. Check out his bandsaw! Just had to share. :) https://www.youtube.com/user/TipsfromaShipWright

I know nothing about turning but has anyone ever tried attaching suction or an attachment to, or very close to, an actual chisels cutting area and thus getting the extraction right in close to where the dust and chips are being generated. I feel sure there must be some safe way of doing this...

Burning is out of the question it's too close to road and neighbors cars, though I think more beers will have to be done and should be done. I think I'm leaning towards drilling and grummoxing bits out with a chisel. Trouble is it's in a difficult spot and I cant get a good swing at it with...

I have a large stump to get out of my boundary. I took all the top growth off the bloody thing about fifteen years ago and buried it under a load of planting which was mainly ivy. Now, I have to get rid of it! I should have done it at the time it was growing but... Today I have ruined a...

Why can't you melt the lead and pour it into the hole?

How about buying the appropriate hand planing gear and paying a local 73 year old to do the donkey work as and when required. This would be cheaper and you would have lovely hand tools to gloat over plus be able to harangue some poor old sod like yourself whilst sipping a cool one. No dust...

I've just ordered a pack of ten of these thanks to your above recommendation Muswell, having looked at them before. How long would you say you can you use them or are they best just single use. https://www.amazon.co.uk/3M-Cup-Shaped- ... 63&sr=1-12 I though that was a pretty good price Steve.

My whole school learned about sharp objects the hard way via the very public accident that befell a young John Buchanan, He fell over in the playground, with a compass in his shorts pocket that went completely through one of his spuds. He screamed the place down, it was an unforgettably...

I have not used these people yet but they seem to do everything you could want and offer a next day delivery and offer a cutting service http://www.meyertimber.com/products.aspx might be worth giving them a shout, they seemed to be pretty good on price from memory I have been in contact...

Tell the wife that the only way to age it is to soak it in urine 8)

How is Resin W rated, I have used this for donkeys years inside and out and always thought it was the best you could get. Mind you I am completely out of touch, but have a tall side gate built in pine that has lasted about twenty five years now and was simply glued and screwed with resin w and...

Thanks for all the replies guys, I'm still not 100% sure what to go for but the airshield is the most likely at the moment based mainly on what MikeJhn said in his reply, I just have to get used to the wearing one. I think what puts me off is the size and look of these things and never having...
