I have the same problem and bought a delongi oil filled radiator with a built in fan. Best of both worlds think it was £50.00 from b and q. Owe

You can't attach holds to it.It is as is so to speak. I know someone who has one and it gets really greasy and not that good. I don't want to be a cynic but.... I just can't see how you will make something as good as that without alot of investment in time as the pockets are really hard to do. I...

As a climber the fingerboard as it is called is a particuarly difficult thing to make. The prime consideration are: 1. The wood must be dense as it will be brushed to remove chalk. If made of softwood will become pitted and knacker your skin. 2. The radius of the finger grips must be gentle or...

Love it, As someone has pointed out it good to see something a little different. i think that would look great in a bedroom with some personal items ie. jewelry. i have to say that i am making something similar but obvisually it won't be anywhere near that quality. I love the choice of wood and...

Is it ok to use the purple stuff won't it dye the wood?? Owen

I know this is a daft question but..... I have bought some shellac flakes (blonde dewaxed) for some sycamore and it says to mix it with denatured alcohol. Could someone please tell we what this is and where i get it from? Owen

I just didn't get it. He seemed to have sorted it all out and then he stops!! What made him give up did he not get paid?? If he thinks that no problems should exist in a job then no work is ever going to satisfy him. Perhaps he spent to long fiddling making videos :lol:

Very very nice. I am always impressed that people can play musical instruments well enough make them. Owen

I have just sharpened my hollow moulding plane (off ebay and old) to ALF's advice and used the plane to cut some gradually tapering reed in a cherry board. Wow what an awesome thing it was so nice to take shaving after shaving that was paper thin (ciggarette paper). The iron on the thing is old...

I have been reading this tonight, very good and very informative too. I have been enjoying the articles on the different woods and the bit on workshops. For me i find the articles very informative without bring ott. In the future it would be nice to have websitelinks to some of the articles. But...

Weirdly i like sanding (well some) but i hate thicknessing wood its just so dull. Owen

Sorry to jump in on this thread. I was using my leigh jig last night and all was going well on my project until on the last piece of half blind dovetails the collet reducer slipped in the router. I have been using the largest router bit 80-8 in the triton mof001 with the half inch collet and...

Right, I will have a look and see whats happening and hopefully get it sorted. Owen

I have one of these that i have been trying to get to work. I keep getting the blade slipping which is driving me nuts, should i be hammering the wedge harder?? Secondly i have sharpened by blade in usual fashion i am getting very obvious scallops when planing panels. I do not normally have this...

I think machine mart and screwfix sell the stuff. Sorry rubbish at links. Owen

I will be waiting for the festool version with better dust extraction and fast fit plug. Owen

I have bought their sanding discs before and to be honest i couldn't really tell the difference from my bosch originals or some mirka ones. They were so cheap i just felt it was worth a punt and it was money well spent. Can't comment on much else. Owen

Cheers i will have read and try and gain some inspiration. Owen

Maybe we are trying to enter a secret world of the proffesionals and like the magic circle divulging secrets equates to expulsion. :) Owen

Without being too ironic, i am having trouble finding examples of secret compartments in cabinets. :D . I am building a dressing stand with drawers and I like the idea of a few hidden compartments to keep my grey matter going. As the cabinet has not been designed internally yet so i have quite...
