    HVLP sprayguns

    I have an Erbauer one from Screwfix. I bought it to spray a load of tongue and grove MDF that I used to line our spa house. Painting it was a mare because of all the indents. I'm sure the sprayer isn't up to the standard that you're looking for, but I would say that it is easy to clean because...

    Are there really people this uneducated?

    I once ran a big scout even and had a major argument with someone because they insisted there area was too small we had used a figure to calculate space and say it was 10 scouts to 5m sqr he was saying he should have 10m X 10m as he had 20 scouts and therefore needed double the room. I could not...

    Have we been to naughty for santa this year?

    I'd be up for this again. I didn't do it last year but did the year before and it was nice to get a present I genuinely enjoyed rather than socks or an instruction to go and buy myself something in a systainer! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    Well the last thing I made was a module cup cake stand. It's made with 9 different size circles so you can have a combination of sizes. Up to 7 tiers. It all comes apart for storage. I also made the trammel for my router to cut them all out with. I'm quite pleased with the trammel as it's...

    Heating the workshop

    When people say fan heaters are we talking small shoebox size things or much larger space heaters? I have a small fan heater on my work bench which is ok but I am thinking of a smallish space heater. Saw a Stanley 2kw one for £50 in screwfix today and was tempted. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Domino or biscuit jointer?

    I can't think of a time when a domino couldn't be used but a biscuit could. However there a plenty of times when a domino can be used and a biscuit can't. Most of the time that I use my domino is a time when a biscuit wouldn't work or certainly isn't recommended. Sent from my iPhone using...

    To barrel (grip), or not to barrel?

    Just my views on the systainers. I love them! I can stack them up out of the way, it's clear what tools are in them from the front. I can open them mid stack (although this is limited) I have a tool tote so just chuck in hand tools into that and have a CXS drill that I stick underneath and...

    Cameras

    I love Nikon DSLR's and my Nikon F90 film camera. However sometimes my camera phone is the best camera - just because I have it to hand. I also have numerous compacts but my Panasonic LUMIX is brilliant partly that's because it's waterproof partly because it's small so it can go with me when I'm...

    Which soft close hinges

    I'm making a bathroom vanity unit and would like to use some soft close hinges for the doors. Any recommendations? They won't get huge use so don't need to be over engineered just reasonable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wine Carrier

    I posted the same thing on my Land Rover Discovery 3&4 owners club site and I think the second reply was discussing the quality of the wine! It's interesting to see how different people view things. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can you recommend a disc+belt sander for under £150 ish?

    I find I tend to use the belt part far more than the disc part on mine. I have used it vertically on occasion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wine Carrier

    Tony I like your thinking. Maybe a tumbler would give even more room. Although you couldn't have wine in a tumbler so a couple of single malts either side to balance it out? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Painting MDF

    I'm sure an answer exists but my search resulted in thousands of answers that were irrelevant so apologies for asking something that will no doubt of been asked before. What is the best way to paint MDF so it doesn't look like it's paint but a factory finished piece of furniture. I'm...

    I liked the lettering that Mike did for me so much that I've been investigating the costs of a machine! The big day is tomorrow so I might find out soon what they thought to it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Robert Sorbey Turnmaster system

    I saw a YouTube video where someone was using the turn master system. I thought it looked fab. Anyone know where is a good place to source one? Also any other alternatives out there? Axminster don't seem to offer anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wine Carrier

    Thanks guys - I agree about the dovetails. I should have considered it more for the size of the wood. I couldn't quite justify a Leigh jig for one job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That looks great but what's with the photos? Looks like you've applied some retro filters? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
