Hey Rafe, I ordered some of them joint connectors and they come today, but im trying to work out how to use them for what i want and im struggling. Have you an idea on how you would use them. the only way i can see them being used to level out and secure the insert would be to epoxy one part to...

That was just awl-ful :lol:

have you seen the pallet pal designed by issy swan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuOKyGmd7BY&list=UUO39zTYpvWL5jx2q15Ma_Hw the plans are about $3 ish if i remember correctly so not to bad and could speed up your pallet ripping. Im planning on making one soon as it does look fairly useful...

Hi Stooby, I have not got anything from these yet but they do different packs. http://www.britishhardwoods.co.uk/timber/timber-hobby-packs.html Looks fairly interesting and when my back log is complete I will probably order a few bits from them myself. Cheers Mark

Hi Woodmonkey, Looks like it should turn out nice, how is the Tulipwood to work with? Shame about the oak tree, looks like a fair size as well. Cheers Mark

thanks for the information people, I will be putting everything said into practise. cheers Mark

I like the look of them rafezetter I think I will order some of them. Cheers Mark

Hi Morfa, Yeah think i will have to borrow a #5 from my grandad he has a few in his garage (or camber my #4). Yeah I would like a bench really but not the space to be able to do something though at the moment. I will be making a couple of small 4ft high sheds soon as our existing one is coming...

Hey baldpate, Thanks for the explanation i will give it a try and see what happen. I put a length of board across the bottom of the work mate and a couple bags of sand, I find it keeps it fixed quite nicely. I will get the number 4 out and have a go with that. If i had spare time for the...

Hi all, Yesterday i was flattening some boards for some shelving in the house. They had a cup on them i would say of around 3mm (the gap from cup to flat surface when laying cup side down). My question is how long does it take to make the board flat. I was using a number 7, should have i been...

To my understanding (quite new to wood working) oak moves quite a bit. Especially as it is going to be indoors. So if you are fixing these shelves permanently I would avoid glue as gluing end grain to cross grain could cause for splitting with expansion of the wood. I would say do a stopped...

Hi all, So as I do not have a fixed workshop I need the ability to pack up my workbench and because of this I carriage bolted a bit of 18 mm MDF that I had around from an old desk onto the top of a cheap workmate. This worked well and I have even added bits to the "bench" to hold tools and to...

Hi All, So I have a couple of projects to put up but this being the one that is actually complete I thought I would start with this one. A while ago I got hold of a 900mm (ish) by 100mm (ish) length of oak for free (had a knot in the middle of the length so had to take that off but not massive...

Yeah i was thinking about doing this but was not sure how thick i would need the shelf to be (now I know due to your reply) but 30mm is to much for the shelf really as it would look a little odd. The shelf will be shaped (to a design the misses has yet to do) and due to this 30mm would look too...

Haha, works out well then benchwayze. Yeah Brian thats what i was thinking

I'm sorry but i'm not taking you London's oldest French restaurant ;) (http://www.monplaisir.co.uk/)

great, thanks benchwayze

Hi thanks for the run through bob that makes sense. With the gallows do you do a screw through top and bottom to mount the wall then one through the top to secure the shelf? I would prefer the shelf fixed really as I don't want a loose board falling onto one of the kids if they happen to hold...

I was thinking that but then I done some looking around on the net and it said diagonal grain wood is quite weak. I thought it would be strong as you have a natural triangle going on with it as the force is distributed through the grain to the wall. actually thinking about it after that my line...

Hi all, I am making a few pine shelves at the moment for the front room and i am going to make some shelf supports out of pine as well so it all fits together nicely (so no metal this is hanging off the wall) My question is what grain direction should I cut the supports to get the best...
