Well worth it. They have the wet and dry vacuum in my local Lidl for £40 on its own. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

I signed up for the catalogue a few years ago and never received one. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

What sizes are you after? I don't have any on hand but there are a couple of good beaches not too far from me. I can alert you when I'm in that area next. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

I'd say the sander is probably a solid buy but I think the major DIY brands do their entry level models at similar price points. I'd probably try to find some testimony on the router before buying. Maybe someone on here has one. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

Vinegar gets rid if mould better than most things. Might burn the nostrils when you put the mask back on though. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

Slightly off topic but I'm surprised that oak furniture land was mentioned without someone going spitting mad. It gets more hate than ikea round these parts. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

What I'm taking away from this is that maybe doing something along the lines of how many woodworkers supplement their fine furniture work with kitchen fitting etc. Perhaps the lamps and clocks could be an aspect of the business but if you could figure out a way to incorporate the concrete in to...

Get the things you'll need to make something flat and square. You won't get far using wonky wood. Combination square, spirit level, steel rule, marking gauge. All can be had for cheap on eBay or even out of friends garages. You'd be surprised how many pieces of kit that you'd pay good money...

I'll be completely honest. I hadn't seen the lamp you used as inspiration and I thought yours was a good design. If I did know of the prize winning one, then saw yours in a store I would automatically think that it was a knock off. I don't say that to insult you. I appreciate good design but...

Record CL3 here. The lathe itself is brilliant but even though it weighs a ton it still bounces across the floor with an imbalanced foot wide bowl blank on it. Make sure whatever you get is heavy, and attached to a heavy stand which is preferably bolted to the floor. Sent from my LG-H815 using...

I started the new planes thread because I was having issues with my wooden jack. Since then I've started planing my sawn sapele. I have one board done and I've been roughing it with the wooden jack and using the Stanley 4 1/2 to smooth. The sawn wood isn't rough enough that I couldn't use the...

Nothing could be less appealing than next doors shed, aside from maybe the filth they'd have to wade through to get to it. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

I'd probably recommended what everyone does and say buy what you need as and when you need it. Decide what your first job is and get the tools that you need for that job. Wood turning for example is a skill in itself and a lot of workshops don't even include a lathe. A router table might be a...

I do have a couple of alarms, but I'll probably get a yale style wireless one soon enough. Problem is, I don't have much worth nicking so it's more of an annoyance than anything. There's not a lot of second hand value in my tools considering I bought most of it cheap anyway. Sent from my...

I'd say that those adverts are just trying to endear people to John Lewis at this point. It's not "Have you heard of our shop? It's called John Lewis" any more. It's more associating the place with Christmas so people get their presents there. I did actually shop at JL a couple of years ago...

Been down to the shed for the first time in about ten days, since the weather has been so bad. I went to take the padlock off and noticed that three of the four screws in the lock had been removed. It looks like they've had a go at taking the lock off, realised that it was bolted on from the...

I carve and I go up to 8000 grit then finish with autosol on an old bit of leather. I find it far easier to get a sharp carving knife. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

I'm looking for work and if I were any closer I'd be interested. The commute right now would be awful. I tend to look on places like the indeed app. It is incredibly difficult to separate decent jobs from scams and sales jobs, however. I used to work in the media and that was just as...

It's like a gentler mortar and pestle. Some cocktails require that the ingredients be mashed up a bit in contrast to actually blending to a smooth consistency or having the bits floating around whole. Some muddlers have spikes on the bottom a bit like meat tenderising hammers. Sent from my...

I've noticed this while looking for jobs recently. When I got out of school maybe 11 years ago, without trying to pass too much judgement, some jobs along the lines of shelf stacking and working in a warehouse were filled by people using them as a stop gap until something better came along, or...
