Took the afternoon of work today as I needed to cut down 11 jumbo sheets (2620x2070) of melamine faced 18mm chipboard, into transportable sizes, as they were delivered to a friends place( I'd nowhere big enough or a forklift). Thought it would only take me a couple of hours, how wrong was I...

Thanks for all your quick replys. Will use the screws and see what happens

Yes I've read that project, which is where I got the information on oak being stained. I suppose the answer I want to know is how far does the staining travel as pocket hole screws are screwed from the back of the wood

The face-frames on my kitchen are going to be made from oak. Hopefully these are going to be constructed using trend pocket hole screws and then joined to the carcesses, again using pocket hole screws. Will these screws be suitable to use with oak as I've read that the oak can become stained by...

Reply to brianhabby re someone should put a woodworking show on at the NEC. There is the woodmex show in Oct at the NEC. Have a look at their website-- I think you might be impressed with the list of exhibitors. Doesn't look like any carboot type stands will be there and its FREE to enter if you...

I have some beech cabinets,which have been finished with danish oil. I want to re-apply some more oil as they are a few years old now, so the question is-- do I just re-apply the oil on top of old or do I prepare the cabinets first. If so, how and what with? Any advice will be much appreciated

the idea was to use 6mm veneered board, but it sounds like am better of using 18mm. Thanks for suggestions

Has anyone any idea what the best glue is to stick MDF to melamine. I'm building kitchen cabinets at the moment using melamine faced MDF. I want the melamine finish on the inside of the cabinets but any outer sides showing will be covered with a veneered oak MDF to match the face frame

It shows how much profit B&Q are making on goods, because I can't believe they are making a loss by selling these routers at £98, whereas before they were selling them at over £200

Been into one of my local B&Q's (BLACKBURN, Lancs) today. 6 Triton routers all boxed and sealed, priced over £200 on the shelves but when asked for price at the till with the bar code, down to £98.

There's a video of the dewalt plunge saw in action on a dewalt site. Sorry don't know address, but found it by accident while looking on the festool owners site about the ts55

There are three F36-529 saws going thru' ebay at the moment. Are they worth a look at or are there some problems with this model as obviously 3 people are getting rid! If they are a decent saw, what would be a good price for one secondhand.

Before I start biding on any bandsaw's on that auction site, I thought I might as well ask if any one was thinking of getting rid of one on this site. Hope thats not against the rules asking. I live in Lancashire and after one going for not silly money, obviously, as its only for a couple of...

I'm new to woodworking and this forum as well, so I'm probably asking silly questions as well, but don't forget- if no one asked any questions, there wouldn't be much of a forum

I'm useless at sharpening chisels, but I saw the trend fasttrack on QVC the other week, and don't know whether to treat myself. Does anyone have any knowledge of this sharpening system. Does it work and is it worth the money. Qvc said its a "professional bit of kit for use by professionals!!!"...

Is New Yankee Workshop on Sky TV. I don't have Sky but if it is on, I can get the programme recorded, all I need is the channel and days its on. Cheers

Thankyou for all your time and trouble with the instructions and information re buying blades. As always on this site, my problems have been sorted. Happy New Year to you

I've just been given a elu planer thicknesser model EPT1151. Don't suppose anyone has any instructions for this model. I know what you do with one( put rough wood in one end , nice new wood comes out the other end), I just don't know how to set the knives level and flat etc. Also cos its an...

I treated myself to the ts55 for Christmas and after doing alot of shopping around found that no-one was interesting in dealing on price. It was the same price on ebay as it was from my local festool dealer. What I did manage to do though was get my local dealer to throw in some extras like...

There's also one left at the B&Q store at Preston for £99.
