How hard do you think it would be to re-create this? The reason we're not just buying from Habitat is that it's actually a bit wider and longer than we need.

Would anyone like to quote for producing laundry tongs for me? I potentially have a very small market for them - but am not currently setup for production - even on a small scale. To be made from a wood like beech or bamboo, I guess? The metal 'spring' would have to be good and strong as these...

So I'm in the market for an MFT/3 and I'm wondering whether to go for the base/bare model and just accessorise with the clamp accessory pack or whether to go for the MFT/3 with the hinged track and the mitre angle gauge thing ? Any advice? I am not a kitchen fitter, I'm going to be using it...

This is what I'm hearing about their stuff...

I keep seeing Erbauer router bits being feted. But is Erbauer a standalone brand or just a Screwfix marketing name?

Thanks Bod. It's in far reaches of Scotland so I'll not be paying it a visit! I would otherwise...

Apropos my recent post asking if anyone has a TS55 for sale I've had a few PMs. One of them is offering an aged TS55 240v which has seem some action. It's battered and bruised but apparently still cuts true. Chap wants £75 for it. It has a systainer but the insert is missing. Nothing else...

Agreed - but getting the local group to agree to the wording of the national organisation/movement against their will isn't a route I want to go down.

Thanks, bodgers, but they only want retired people as far as I can work out from the contact I've had with them. Discostu - I'd like somewhere to work because I'd like to be warm and dry while building. Plus I'll be building in the evenings and tools will wake the children and or annoy...

Bit of an odd one, this. My son was given a nice wooden bed by our neighbours as they were looking to convert a bedroom into an office. Unfortunately the chap who gifted the bed caught shingles a couple of weeks later and is now bedridden for the forseeable (he's elderly), and his wife came...

Can't find any reference to Bill O on Google? Is this just me being daft?!

Who did you use, please? And what size? Many thanks!

Yep I don't class breeze blocks as bricks - but that may be my mistake! Who did you use, please? And do you find 12x8 to be a good size? If you or other members have pics of your interiors (so to speak!) I'd be VERY interested!! Thank you

Looking into FINALLY acquiring a garden workshop...or building my own. It would need to be insulated and probably of wooden construction because I think one of brick would be damp. How difficult an undertaking is this? Is there a book that would be recommended reading? many thanks...

Thanks to all, even you, novocaine! I am not wanting to throw money at this if a simple compass can't be beaten. Thanks.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what's the best scribing tool to buy? Looking at * Profiler+ * EasyScribe * Trend E/SCRIBE Thanks (couldn't get a [list] to work but BBCode is on...)

So I'm sick of the way dust seems to linger and gather on the vertical surfaces in my workshop. These are untreated ply boards. Does the community think a coat of paint would help prevent the (static?) effect? thanks...

Hi, I bought a Metabo HC260 second hand from a guy who said it was a good P/T but had been lifted by its tables in the past and might need calibrating to accurately plane stock. I suspect this is a good assessment of the situation because it is fine at thicknessing but seems inaccurate with...

Any reason 3.5mm plywood wouldn't be suitable? I know it's thin and weak but it's such a small area which doesn't really bear a lot of weight. Any thoughts?

Thank you. Good to have my thoughts confirmed! I might look into making a sled, as I can see how useful it would be for this and future projects.
