They do. Sort of. Only Just. Kind of. Approximately.

PVA it is then. Presumably the builders stuff in 5 litre tubs is OK? Neat or diluted?

What's the best thing to use for sealing the ends? I'm due to collect about a ton and a half of mixed chestnut and fruitwoods in the next few weeks and I want to be ready...

Some of you may have seen that I posted a query about a particular work holding problem and Dalboy kindly offered to give me the benefit of his experience and show me some basics. I took him up on his kind offer and paid him a visit on Monday. All I can say is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! Although...

How did you even know this was a thing? :shock:

Just finished with an old iron and it would seem that a quarter turn can make a significant difference. I tend to agree with Jacob and Rodders and the other freehanders that going 'sans jig' is probably best in the long run. I busted my right wrist quite badly several years ago and although all...

Mike, I just looked this issue up on the Tormek user site and found a link to this document which may help you. http://www.sharptoolsusa.com/squareedgeweb.pdf#search="grinding%20square%20edges" I'm going to dig out an old iron now and have a go and see if I can deliberately grind it out of...

I've had this problem before with my Tormek and believe me it's not hard to get them out of square. I believe the issue is that the tool rest doesn't always seat properly. One of the stems is threaded, the other is plain and on my machine I can push it all the way down, tighten up the thread and...

And the little boys who can't compete with the Big Boys don't make any either

Adrian, if it helps... you've seen my workshop and what we have in it. I have 24 double sockets on 4 circuits, some at normal 'floor' level, some at approx 1.2m high and some in dado trunking (in the small room). It's not enough and we're always swapping things out. Take Steve M's advice and put...

Watch make all sorts of industrial floor coatings, including anti-slip. http://www.watco.co.uk They ain't cheap mind....prices will likely make your eyes water, causing you to fumble around and ....... slip over!!

That's one of the best reasons for getting a Mac. There's virtually no learning curve. A day at the most and you're off and running - and you'll never look back.

I actually made three copies of that post. Having checked them against each other I can assure you that it's only out by less half a hair. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very carefully posed. Almost misleading some might say.

The words 'reliable', 'stress proof' and 'Windows' can be used together in a sentence, usually preceded with 'totally un-'. Leave the DarkSide. Buy a MacBook. This is the true path to inner peace and harmony. Then a Jedi you will be.

Andy, sorry If I've confused the issue here - my gauge is an Axminster one http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-su ... ting-gauge Superior it is not. I'll square out the stupid round hole (probably easier than making it conical) and make a square wedge and better knife, thus creating the...

From experience I can tell you that it can be forceful enough to actually knock you over!! I bought a DW 1501 (I think that was the model number) several years ago and had no idea about blades and all. Merrily fired it up and started to pull it across a 350mm wide slab of Oak. Next thing I...

One day we'll find out that UKW is a University Psychology experiment and we're all unwitting participants.

Where's the fun in that? (for the rest of us) :D
