Did you design these yourself, or were you working from someone else's drawings?

Best way to finish a dancefloor? Petrol and a match. :lol:

It's all been said, but I would just add that you have bought a plane, not a planer. In fact, you are the planer.:)

My advice? .....Not to start from here! :)

BBQ-ing...I've only got a minute. The best answer involves cross ventilation. In other words, do both eaves, or both gables (there are two gables??). Messing with the eaves is a nightmare, so actually the most pragmatic solution is normally some big vents in the gables.

This is an unusual question for a first time poster on a woodworking forum.

If that's even the remotest of possibilities, then put a membrane on the outside and use diagonal bracing on the inside, which you could remove when you insulate and replace with OSB.

Filling cracks in wood with grain running in one direction is fine. However, you have cross-graining going on, with pieces crossing each other at right angles. Wood expands and contracts across its width, but not along its length, and as soon as you have pieces running at right angles to each...

Resin doesn't expand and contract with changing humidity. Timber does. I think you are going to have issues with gaps opening up and cracks appearing. And when you said New Order, you meant Pink Floyd, didn't you. The DSotM album cover with the light refracted through a prism would be an...

In an unheated, uninsulated shed, it doesn't much matter where you put the OSB (or ply). However, if you are going to use a membrane, (you don't need to) it makes sense to put the OSB outside the frame with the membrane on top of that, then the counterbattens and cladding.

Sky.......cookies.......Murdoch...... Isn't there someone else covering this story, who's a bit more.......you know.......benign?

Yep, absolutely. I can hear our stone one being used at this very second.......

:lol: Yep, that's how it works. So, I've got ten to make when I get around to it. Is that going to take me (10 / 4 x 1 week = 2-1/2 weeks), or will they also take a week? :) Actually, the carving alone will probably take a week.

It would be great to have a few more photos, Tim. That looks a really nice chair. Are they all side chairs, or did you make some carvers?

Hi, and welcome. "A metal bench end with wooden slats".......we may need some help on that. I think most of us have solid wooden benches, so I don't recognise your description. You may need to post another couple of times before our spam filter software allows you to post photos, but I think a...

I think what DW is saying is sharpen your "ordinary" chisel any way you like and compare its performance to that of the 20 degree+secondary+rounded chisel.

I don't think it is going to be possible to comment until the complete model is shown. The drawer (and aprons, presumably) will change the look fundamentally. At the moment it looks like a bad bar stool! :)

No, it's the principle angles. A primary bevel of 20 degrees. That's the difference. It's well worth taking a secondary chisel from the back of a drawer where it's lain unused for years, and sharpening to 20-ish degrees, and seeing what you see. As I say, mine were like that before I joined a...

Careful!! :) That's some flu vaccines some years, and is the worst they manage. Some of them, some years, are very much more effective than that.

If you want a tough building-site one, then Makita. They put up with all sorts of abuse. If it's only for an occasional one-off, I've no idea.
