I have a pair of cast iron bench ends and was wondering what timber you would recommend for the slats. I'm not bothered about the colour, I just want the best suitable timber

I've got a couple of Henry's as well. Is there a DIY hack for making/using a better hose as I find the length isn't long enough. I've used a festool and the hose is so much better

Cheers for replies. I think i'll stick to a festool blade, so will go to ffx. I've just changed the guild strip so don't want to mess that up, by using a different blade.

I've been into my local shop for a new blade but they don't have any in stock and won't be getting any till the new year because of supply problems. Is there another make of blade anyone would recommend for the saw in question. I've seen some saxton blades cheap but no idea how good they are

The shop has been there for years but I think it changed hands a few years back. I remember when I was a kid (showing my age now) going to our local hardwear shop to buy paraffin for some heaters we had in our house and that smell of these type of shops just takes me back to being a kid. I'll...

Hi Brian, I was sent a link to your post where you rebuilt yours, regarding putting the belt on. You did an amazing job. I've now had a play with the sander, but I must admit I can't see myself using it as it just seems too fierce or aggressive, for anything I do. I think I'll go back and get...

I have asked him to have a look for any other elu stuff. He thinks there a little palm sander somewhere, still in the box

Thanks for that. I'll try the same method

I popped into one of those old style ironmongery type shops this morning (you know the sort, the ones that sell everything and has that smell of paraffin) and on a bottom shelf covered in dust and oddments of boxes was this beast. The young lad asked if he could help and we had a chat about how...

Looked it over again today and yep bad design. Asked designer how to do the joint (cos they are the experts and have fitted 100's and 1000's of kitchens before I became a designer) and got an "oh" "yeah" answer. Anyway, they are supplying another length cheap, so sorted. Will do joint like you...

How would you join a laminated worktop in a kitchen where the induction hob has been designed to fit approx 25 mm from the joint/corner. I've thought about doing a normal worktop jig cut with the worktop bolts, glue and fit the worktop then remove the bolts after it has dried. Then cut the hob...

Surprised that there's not been any mention of this on the forum. Did anyone see it and was it any good. " Jay's Yorkshire Workshop" Wednesday's at 9pm

Just going back to the furniture, can I ask if the woven leather was woven in house or it came on a roll off the shelf so to speak, or did you have it commissioned.

Haven't got a problem with curry sauce. Will have that with a steak pud. I have a lovely neighbour who confuses me all the time regarding dinner , tea, lunch supper etc. She's originally from London I have my dinner around 12.30 and she's just had her dinner around 8pm

Phil- Mushy peas in Lidl are only 21p and better( in my northern opinion) Lets open another can of worms- where's the north/south divide where you pour gravy over your chips? I remember a school dinner favourite from our local chippy called a minimix. It consisted of chips, mushy peas...

Could there be something jammed in the knives. My little chipper doesn't start if there are branches touching the knives.

My Father in law passed away around 2 months ago and I have to say that the companies we are dealing with are bloody useless, except united ultilities. We have used the 'tell us once service' but still waiting to hear anything. I've come to the conclusion that even though most off the big...

Thanks for all help. Managed to file down a window lock key to the shape, with the sizes tris supplied and it's worked a treat.

Thank you Tris for the dimensions. will have a play this afternoon now.

Haven't tried a screwdriver. I know you can hot wire them but trying to make another key would at least give me something to do over the weekend in the garage
