    Down the Line - R4

    Well, I'm sure you've worked this out for yourself, but it's parody isn't it? Sometimes quite on the mark and laugh out loud bizarre, and sometimes a bit repetitive/samey. It's a well-devised parody of the kind of banal phone in shows you get on most radio stations - and sometimes even Radio4...

    Air nailers, what do the names mean?

    Sorry. Yes, your post did explain the difference between the guns, but I guess I was looking for real-world examples of when you might want to use a brad over a pin - and now that you've described the pin as the size of a dressmaking pin I can see that it's something one would use for finish...

    Air nailers, what do the names mean?

    Ok, I'll bite. - Why is the headless brad gun cheaper than the nailer that fires brads with heads? - If you can only afford one, which one is more versatile? Is one stronger than the other? Is it useful to own both? - There is a £200 price difference between these (which are reportedly very...

    Milling timber / how to use a planer-thicknesser

    I've just bought a planer/thicknesser and I am delighted with it. I have some idea of how to use one to dimension timber so that it is true, flat, square parallel, etc - but all the online video guides seems to have a different idea of how to go about it! What is the UKWorkshop consensus (I...

    Finish for first major woodwork project

    Hi, I've just finished my first major woodworking project - an oak chest. It has been finished with one coat of 50/50 linseed white spirits which was left for 10 minutes and then the excess wiped off. I was given to understand the white spirits would then evaporate (is the reason for...

    Toolboard

    Hi! Having finally found somewhere to play host to my little woodshop, I'm going to make some tool boards. I presume plywood is the easiest and best solution, but what is the absolute cheapest suitable board and what size is manageable yet still useful for this purpose? As for actually fixing...
