Thanks Gents, I do plan to have an end vice as I can see it's usefulness.. just not the L shaped one - it's just to prevent racking?? seems a lot of faff just for that. The leg vice too - I've often had issues with my record (52 ?) not holding a long board -end up- as well as if it'd been...

Hello Gents, (It really is time to build my bench !) Please could you tell me what you need the L shaped tail vice for ? Also what is the other holding device by the face vice on some benches? It's to the left of the vice, right on the corner.. it looks like a huge lion's tooth. I might've...

Hello Gents (Hopefully this attempt won't be deleted by a pop up!) I need help & advice to help with getting my embarrassing porch sorted out. I want to replace our existing god awful mess (that we inherited I hasten to add) with an oak design along the same basic shape (I know it'll be modern...

I chose maker designer..good job it did not say "skilled"

Blimey - how many planes !? - how many braces !!? Jimi & Andy, you gents have got it bad.. but there is something proper about seeing a shelf full of tools. Just as well you are not into swinging cats. Matthewh - That is so neat n tidy ..I will aspire to that (as soon as I get the time). I get...

Hello Gents, A few weeks ago I spent a spell binding evening in a workshop so brim full of exquisite tools I could hardly believe what I was seeing.. an Aladdin's cave of pure craftsmanship & beauty.. and when I say brim full & exquisite I really do mean it (..although I'm only a novice). All...

I am new to all of this & have bought quite a few things in the past 12 months along with a book & have also asked a few questions on here & what I've found is: - Sharp is when light cannot fall on the edge (once I heard this & then saw my edges I realised where I was going wrong) - Some...

Hello Gents, It seems my moisture meter http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-axminster-mc6012-digital-moisture-meter-prod22668/ is on the blink & so I need to buy another one - but a better one as this only lasted 18 months of rare useage. Can you recommend one please? Thanks Togs

Thanks ! I'll take that as a compliment - as it was my first web site. I'm not sure about the gallery style either but my head was soo fuzzed up by the time I'd got that far I just went with it..I'm annoyed by the poor spacing some browsers inflict on it when it's perfect in webeasy. I should...

That's a beauty ! & there might be a way to use it on single phase (by using a few capacitors) .. there was a post on it not so long ago. The info was gleaned from a book or 2 at Axi about all things you need to know about motors. It must be worth a go at only £15 to lose. .. there's a very...

As for getting a website I went through 123.reg & I got all the help I needed - just nowhere near as easily as I'd've wished. Then I purchased Webeasy & got going & made this: http://www.heathanfurniture.co.uk/index.html It's not perfect but I am still learning..it's getting found by search...

..how about asking your local commercial kitchen canopy fabricator for any old kit...I imagine they'd work well & the these firms should be replacing old ones all the time. An old aluminium one would be cheap as there's no scrap value in it...perhaps offer to be there to help take it out -it'd...

I'd say not to worry too much ( just worry enough to keep yourself on the ball) as I am a strong believer (& proof) that if you have skills, honesty, manners & integrity then there's enough work out there. My business of 8 years failed 18months ago due to year after year of bad debts (& yes...

My ears have become more sensitive over the years & I'm keen to get the right set up too. I say "set up" as I wear ear defenders, a dust mask & full face visor when using my table saw or safety specs on other machines but find all 3 very cumbersome & the specs keep the ear enclosures from...

I fettled & found that I had not done so properly before - unless things had loosened by themselves..& that my blade is dull (even though I've done what I'd say is very little work with it due to it's wonky cutting) which always seems to catch me out. So I'll get a few new blades & then see...

Hell.. it sounds horrendous ! .. knowing my luck I'd come off second best in both health & finance (finance because I tend to need a lot more material than what the finished product is actualy made)...I'll offer American Walnut. Pete - that jewellery is beautiful ! Thanks for all your replies...

Ace..that's good news. I'll fettle tomorrow. Thanks Steve

If Cod is endangered & you can buy it at any chippy & I've seen Elephant on a restaurant menu (not in Brum though) then I don't doubt you can get whatever endangered thing you want - it just commands a higher price. It just doesn't sit comfortbly with me... I'm also not getting insider info...

Hello Phil, Beastly on health or to actually work? ..I'm a beginner & just getting closer to good with Oak so any more difficulty with working would have me in a bit of bother.
