The 'Zed Bench' in all it's glory (?) Total time to erect - less than a minute. Total time to dismantle - less than less than a minute. If anyone wants the plans......

I made one and then cut it up and used the ply for other projects. I thought it looked like a good idea at the time but now I just use a sheet of 18mm MDF resting on six stanley plastic sawhorses. This gets used on every job and is a good bench for tracksawing. I plonk the chop saw on it when...

Cheers for the reply. The reason for asking about the base is that I'm trying to simplify and streamline the installation process for built ins. The levelling in of the plinth can end up taking up a disproportionate amount of time so I'm currently trying to find some decent adjustable feet. I...

Fine work Mr Yorke. I do a lot of these wardrobes and would like to ask you a few questions if I may. It looks as though your plinth is about 100mm high. Do you achieve this by levelling in a timber base or by using adjustable feet? At the moment I use 75 x 50 PAR with an 18mm MDF top and then...

As Cartman from South Park would say - 'Festively Plump'

It could be the case that when someone stands in the shower the sealant or even the seal around the waste/trap fails. When the water runs in an empty shower the leak goes away. I've seen this happen in my own house. An ensuite shower used by a lodger only leaked when she was in it. Even on one...

I've seen a guy using that fizzy stuff for removing stains on clothes (Vanish?) to get dark marks out of Oak. Seemed to work.

Can't say for sure but I reckon the veneers will start peeling after ............. the first really wet day followed by a dry warm one. Maybe a bit later, but not much. But that's just my guess. :)

If you're using a Mac hold down Command Shift 4 and a set of crosshairs will appear. click and drag to select the area you want and when you release the button it'll save an image to your pictures folder.

Andy, to be honest every fibre of my being cries out "'tis against God and Nature" when i see a hollow ground plane iron or chisel. And then, when I need to re-establish a primary bevel on a badly dinged blade or a boot fair find my Tormek looks oh so inviting (compared to my paving stone grade...

I've read somewhere (I think on Dieter Schmid's website) that irons for wooden planes shouldn't have a hollow grind. Does anyone know if this really makes any difference to the performance of the iron? Also, when I grind on my Tormek I find it hard to get the grind square to the iron. I've...

If I were you I'd use Spax M-cut screws, and then just drill a pilot hole and countersink with one of those Trend Snappy combined drill bits and then screw away. I've built hundreds of cabinets like this from MDF and it's fine. If you're butt jointing 18mm boards use a 40mm No 4.

I'd just knock off the edges with a finely set block plane. But then that's what I do with almost everything :) :)

Personally the only jigsaw I've ever actually thought was worth owning is one of the Festool Carvex models. They appear to be the only ones that can cut deep (100mm) and not have the blade deflect causing undercutting. I don't own one as I've got to wait until my Makita blows up or burns out...

I'm currently refurbishing a bar and we're using the 40mm Oak tops from worktop express. In my opinion they can't be beaten on price and value. There are better worktops out there, but not at the prices from WTE.

I'm 47 and went to a grammar school yet I've never seen one in my life. I have heard they exist though. Presumably they are like some kind of portable abacus?

I'm re-furbing a bar at the moment and just dragged my freshly sharpened and beautifully honed and polished German Ulmia smoother over a lump of Oak only to ding it on not one, not two, but three buried bits of metal. Blade now looks like a rip saw #-o I s'pose I could use it as a toothing...

I chuffin' love that. Exceptionally simple clean design but really well made. It looks very nice indeed. Do the hinge pins show through on the sides of the box?

And it's also too short to get your haircut!

I get it. My bad. :oops:
