Ill be coming as your only just up the road form me :). Would be good to see a proper workshop :)

Hi all, I was just wondering what recommendations people have for a reasonably priced moister meter. Cheaper the better obviously but I would like something that works. I have been looking around and seen some for £10 but not sure if they are all that, would the £20 is ones be more of a good...

Ok thanks, Not got the room at the moment for a planer thicknesser but its on a list to buy when I do have the room. So hand plane and electric plane is all I have so maybe its worth it to just get it done at my wood merchants (unless it is that much difference in cost). Cheers, for the info...

Hi marcros Thanks for the details, raised a good point about seeing defects and that early instead of doing a load of work planing only to find them later. Cheers Mark

Hi Chrispy, Thanks for the swift reply. will be putting it to use soon haha Mark

Hi all, The small amount of hardwood timber I have bought from my local wood merchant has been cut to finished sizes, but I was wondering if there is a saving to get it just rough sawn and then trim and plane it up to the finished length my self? Also, how do I go about asking for it rough sawn...

Hey Chris, People always fear that doing the littlest thing will bring their computer to a massive slump and crash out completely but really that is rare. If you downloaded a program and tried to install it, and it would not install onto your machine as your machine is not supported you will...

I have a dewalt I purchased from screwfix (this one i believe http://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-dcd776c2-18v-1-3ah-li-ion-cordless-combi-drill-xr/17648#) It comes with two batteries and a 30 minute charger, works well and the batteries last a decent amount of time. I got it for £150 but at the...

I had to cut an expansion gap round our floor a while ago, it started to buckle in the middle as the person who put it in did not leave an expansion gap. Had to do it with a dremel and a chisel as it is all i had. Took a while but it sorted it out

Thanks for the comments everyone, I will be posting future projects up and will start to try and do some more WIP posts as well.

Ha, that's great

Hey all, Just finished a little coat hook for the front room for the kids coats. Previously had a rectangle piece of MDF that looked a state so had to redesign it. I used a piece of scrap oak, cut the general shape on the scroll saw and rounded the edges with a block plane. This is the first...

Great project, would like to see a recording of the sound. Definitely thinking of making something along the lines of this for my kitchen now. Cheers Mark

Mine sent as well, cheers

Hi all, just been in lidl and got there brochure. Quite a few things are coming in on the 20th such as a multi-purpose tool, mitre saw, digital bevel, tool wall storage set and a few other things. Then on the 24th they are getting a wet and dry vacuum in. Thought I would just let you know in...

Nice project you have going on there. I am set to do the same type of thing in spring after the shed comes down (the cats current go to place). Mine has to be a bit bigger to accommodate a couple of cats at the same time (we have 3 of our own, one stray that has adopted us and another stray that...

A plunge router is fine to attach to it there are various youtube videos on showing how to use a car jack as a router lift so you can get more precise height adjustments (board over the bottom of the work mate and jack fixed on top of it, then a little box to fit around the router top that is...

Also to protect your saw just get a length of hose pipe long enough to cover the blade, slice it open so the saw can slide into it, does a nice job of protecting it and id say get some 3 in 1 oil to help to keep the rust away. Will help the saw glide a bit easier as well if applied lightly with...

Hi swp, Welcome to the forum, there is lots of good advice on here so have a read and look through the project and wip's and nice bit of inspiration through there. I dont have a work bench either i run off a work mate with an 18mm mdf board bolted to it to give me a space of about 4ft wide by...
