If you want a simple tri-band system, the Amazon Eero Pro system is a good middle option. Supports the new Wifi 6 protocols and has 2 ethernet ports on each node to plug devices directly in. I have been using the first gen Google Nest wifi mesh system but it's coverage is flakey and the shed...

Daughter's birthday so had a few hours to kill before seeing her. Decided to try the old, hackneyed bandsaw reindeer ... first attempt and was pleasantly surprised. Could not spend a few hours sanding them perfect but a bit of danish oil gave them a nice colour. One more new thing learned :)...

Sorry if this is common knowledge but this discovery meant I have now got a few months supply of glue spreaders. Trying different finishes on scrap wood resulted in going through a lot of those cheap foam brushes. After one fell apart (again) I noticed the plastic support bit underneath the...

When I was very young, we lived in Kenya. My Father had a rigging company that employed carpenters etc. One day, during the hols, I was pestering him in the office too much so he took me out the back and told one of the carpenters to look after me and make something to keep me amused. He...

Should be really proud of that - epic job. And will last a lifetime.

Installed the thin LED panels in the new workshop, wonderful things. Even light and the daylight colour makes colour checking a breeze.

I am about to do my 2nd project, a picture frame for my daughter's Xmas present. I have got some lovely veneer and want to sandwich a veneered strip between 2 thinner strips to finish the edges. The veneer bit will only be about 1cm wide. Do I veneer a wide strip on its backing wood first or...

No but I have spent far too much on wood despite not building anything 😂😂 Then realised most of it I will probably never use .. or be too afraid to use in case I mess up 😜

That I VERY much doubt 😆 I could not even begun to build a shed like yours. Did not even understand some of the basics you were pondering <grin>

Thanks, yes, all makes sense logically 😂 I had considered the pigskin route but felt I had not left enough depth in each drawer. A lesson in planning for next time. That thread was awesome. (Fabulous community!) Mike

Thank you all for the kind words, genuinely appreciated. I do get the tendency to be far too critical of your own stuff. Must be on my 40th dovetail attempt and still won't use them in anything as they are too bad 😜 Nope, never made anything before in my life. 35 years working with computers...

Not been working with wood for very long (a few months in anger) - still learning the very basics. But my wife was keen to get a new jewellery box so used this as a teaching aid. - sliding dovetails for the drawers - forgot to add the dovetail depth onto the drawer depth calculations .. duh -...

Has this gone? I suspect so but been looking for this jig for quite a while.

So, finally gave up life with computers and managed to start the hobby I always wanted, massacring wood under the guise of "woodworking". Thanks to this forum and the wonders of Youtube, the last 6 months has been a constant learning process. Wood is evil .. the flattest, straightest board...

Newbie here but I can so recommend Ian @ Tuff Saws. He responded to my ***** basic questions with patience and kidness, never patronising and offering advice even where that might have cost him a sale. And the blades are excellent (in my ever so limited experience) though even those dull when...
