    3M ABEK filters life?

    They say 6 months after opening, or sooner if you start to be able to smell stuff through them.

    Sedgwick MB planer dust extraction

    I never got decent extraction with my Sedgwick MB. I had a plywood chip collector I made which performed pretty much as Doug is describing, and then eventually bought a metal one from a Sedgwick and it really wasn’t any better. That was with a good size extractor and a 125mm hose. There was...

    Hidrofuga MDF

    Has anyone tried Hidrofuga MRMDF? I’m currently talking to a potential new panels supplier who is telling me that it is good stuff. There are a couple of videos onYouTube which suggest that it gives a superior spray finish to a Medite MRMDF with less work. But it’s not cheap. It’s almost a...

    Prelacquered birch ply for carcasses

    Has any any experience of using this for building carcasses? I can get it at a good price (only a few pounds more expensive than unfinished), so it is a tempting prospect. My concerns are 1) scratching it when machining and 2) finishing the edges without covering it in overspray. I asked on a...

    Planer/Thicknesser

    Well that’s interesting to see Doug. It certainly doesn’t look too bad and the noise levels sound great!

    Planer/Thicknesser

    Just something else to consider... I recently bought a planer and was considering a spiral head. I was strongly advised by the machinery dealer (JMJ woodworking) to stay away from a spiral head if there was going to be any softwood used on the machine, as all the little cutters and screws will...

    Spraying MDF

    We use Morrell's waterborne lacquer for spraying MR MDF. Hopefully you have used the moisture resistant boards as it makes quite a difference on the edges and a bit of difference on the faces. They do a white or grey primer and then tinted top coat to whatever colour your like. Sprays very...

    No slack in electric sockets - what's the trick?

    Leave long tails in each socket back box, strip the external insulation right back to where the cable enters the back box and then twist the over-length inner cables into a bit of a loop when you screw the socket front to the back box. So essentially all the slack is within the back boxes not...

    Question on the legalities, of wooden doors on camper van.

    Yes Lons there is! Have you tried their pizza? They have a towable wood fired pizza oven too and make some cracking pizzas. I first met Linus who owns the truck a few years ago when he helped us move house with it (in Hexham) as he is a friend of a friend. They featured on Countryfile just...
