    Best Router

    I have the Triton TRA001 in my table and use the adjustments on that from above. It works well and there is no need to hold anything underneath in order to lock the spindle. You do have to switch it off though before you can raise it high enough to change bits. Overall I'm very pleased with...

    Bathroom vanity unit

    Ah the joys of someone knowing me on more than one forum! Actually MrsStu did more of the tiling than I did. I put battens down and levelled them etc. I also cut all the tiles but she put most of them on the wall. The car is getting there. Couple more weeks and it should be sorted. Sent...

    Bathroom vanity unit

    Yes the whole thing was MDF. It is then sitting on a plinth. It is also screwed into the wall. You'll need to at least have something to put the hinges on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bathroom vanity unit

    If I take a photo with the doors open you'll see unfinished MDF! I'll do it anyway. The doors themselves are just made with 18mm MRMDF and 6mm MRMDF for the panel. I just put a 6mm slot down the middle of the boards and used dominos to join them together. The hinges are Blum soft close...

    Bathroom vanity unit

    We had a cracked shower tray a couple of months ago, so we went to a bathroom shop and bought a new basin and tap! That was the start of the bathroom refurbish. A cracked shower tray became an entire new bathroom. Here are some before and after shots. I was particularly pleased with the vanity...

    MFT style cutting / assembly bench

    I got stuck into redoing two bedrooms and then our bathroom. I am intending to make 3 columns of systainer storage on one side and possibly the same on the other or I might just go for trays or drawers. I've already got Parf dogs and clamps so all I really need is some MDF, Space and time...

    MFT style cutting / assembly bench

    Ummmmmm, ummmmmm That would be a no, not yet! Still intending to. I got stuck into other projects. I did buy the Parf guide system for making my holes but even that is still in the wrapper. I really must crack on with it. Trouble is the weather is now cold and I don't have much space to build...

    Titan vs Sip Planer Thicknesser

    I have scheppach version and it's ok. Noisy but ok. You have to take it fairly slowly and you get a bit of snipe but for the cash it's reasonable and definitely better than no P/T. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When will I ever learn

    A mate of had a new light bar for his Land Rover, I asked him how much it was and he told me it was £120. He didn't know his wife was within earshot and she said " What! You told me you won it!). To which he replied " I did win it, I won the auction on eBay!" Apparently he's been winning a few...

    The Grand Tour

    I saw the 2nd episode last night and it was similar to the first. The special forces stuff was pretty dire. I did laugh a couple of times but thought it was overdone and ultimately really didn't have anything to do with cars in it. Struggling to find much positive I'm afraid. Sent from my...

    Bench top bandsaw

    I've got the Axminster 250 one and I love it. I bought it on a whim after buying a few workshop tools and got an email offer. It's the most used saw! I use it way more than my table saw because it's so convenient. Get some stuff saw blades though as it makes a big difference. My only regret...

    Watch out - sharp tools are dangerous So are baked bean cans

    Unfortunately H&S gets a bad press but I think that's generally when people are using it as an excuse to stop something. I only do stuff in my workshop for myself so I'm not forced to follow any H&S rules. However I have a decent dust extraction system. Dust mask, goggles, ear defenders...

    Need to buy a new drill

    An impact driver will drive decking screws in far far quicker than a drill driver. Last Saturday I was using a Ryobi and a Makita impact driver and they were as good as each other, if anything I'd say the Ryobi edged it with its lighting. £60 for a bare tool is brilliant value for money. I do...

    HSS Drill bits vs Brad Point Drill bit.

    I know you tried the HSS in the hole drilled by the brad point, but I wonder if you have tried drilling with the HSS? Did that produce the correct size or was that oversized? If oversized as well then could it be the pillar drill has a small amount of movement in it. Sent from my iPhone using...
