It looks fantastic. Sadly, I can't increase the pic size to get a look at the detail, but looks a terrific job.

Sadly, I'm not near you, but many thanks for the info. I reckon I'll give the Axminster a go. Just need payday to hurry up, now!

Thanks for the heads-up! I have also seen the Titan SF13N with £10 off on the Screwfix website. Again, anyone had any experience?

Hiya, Can anyone advise if there is no quill play throughout the Axminster range? I'm looking for a hobby pillar drill (maybe the Axminster WD13S). Anyone got one, or had a play with one? I'd love to be able to spend more and get a bigger machine, but I can't afford it. Or does anyone have...

Hello, I recently bought one of these, and finally got to have a good play with it yesterday. For a small bench top machine, I am very pleased with the performance (it zipped through 4 inch iroko, on a fine toothed blade, with no effort). However, the fence is, well... a bit poo. However much...

Very nice shed, and loved the commentary on the build. Sorry about the dog though ;-) Reminds me of our old dog, who loved to steal each and every piece of firewood as it was being cut, and would then deposit it all over the garden...

Brill, thanks for the tip!

Hello, Apologies if this query should go elsewhere. Anyway, I was using my bandsaw at the weeekend, to saw a log. Either a knot or imperfection, or a momentary loosening of my grip caused the wood to kink the blade. I've swapped it for a new one, and I can see where the kink is. My question...

I have also bought some of that redwood from B&Q, when I made a small chest to keep random stuff in. I found it was quite possible to clamp it back to square, and 6 months later the thing hasn't sprung apart yet. Good luck with your project.

That's really nice, I like that.

Thanks all for the replies. Trim - I figured drying stuff indoors would have been quicker, but I didn;t consider the effects of uneven drying. Jason - that's reassuring! Normally, when I have an idea, it rapidly gets discarded as I find I've massively underestimated costs! I'm near Aylesbury...

Hello, Please bear with me, as I have an idea in my head but may have difficulty expressing it... I'd like to make a set of shelves using waney edged oak. However, I'd like it to be done with the edge of the log, so the bottom of the shelves have a curve (if that made sense). I'd saw one edge...

Apologies for the probably random and confusuing question, but... I have recently bought some wooden garden furniture from Homebase, and I want to make a small (folding) table to go with it. The table I bought is a fold-up, and the legs clip on to the underside by way of 2 plastic clips that...

Thanks for the replies uys, will get on the phone! BSM - that's very kind, but it was the long(ish) flat variety that I'm after. Cheers!

Hello, Any ideas where I can buy a chuck or two of walnut, mail order? I keep getting outbid on Ebay, and it's starting to p!ss me off! Many thanks

Fruit cage??

...or fondue, if you're feeling exotic??

Love it. Well done doesn't quite cut it!

Lump hammer and chisel - reckon that would do it!!! Pete - are you going to do anything with it now? Mount it on a presentation board? Or makie it look like someone's crashed through your wall??

I love the top, but would prefer different legs. Still, kudos to the builder. Everyone's taste is different, after all.
