Compost: you need x20 dry brown stuff for every x1 wet green stuff to make good compost fast..this is 1 reason why domestic kitchen scrap compost bins are very slow to work...& yes peeing on the heap is very common. Smoking: with oak is ace (chicken, sausages, fish, ham etc) & easy - I gave a...

As ever I'm finding that most things in woodwork are nowhere near as straight forward as they seem at first. Thanks everyone, I'm very grateful for your help as I'd be really battling without it..

Hello Richard, At the moment I'm not cutting rebates but trimming them & shoulders & tidying up tennons etc..but it must be something like that. I'd call & ask them but I can't find the company details by usual lazy googling.. You must be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing which plane...

He made both look easy to me..I have been p£**&&*g around with drilling out the bulk of waste then paring the rest away but I have been annoyed as it 's not so easy. I was taught something very different at school (my only tuition) which was taking out shallow squares - this is also . I've...

The thought briefly crossed my mind but then the thought of messing up a perfect tool/blade made me stop & wait. Also the bevel edge would be a real mission to keep true without one of those very expensive grinding systems (which I'm saving up for)..there's a lot of room for error over .5mm...

I've a question regarding my brand new Clifton 770 Bullnose Plane & would appreciate answers/s or some advice please. ( http://www.axminster.co.uk/clifton-clif ... rod791116/ ) It is my first expensive hand tool & it's so nice to use & hold apart from 1 detail & I'm not sure if it's...

I don't know the machine but: Are you using a multi meter / clamp meter to trace where power is going to & not ? I guess the reset is for overload or overheat protection - was the motor laboured when you got it running & so drawing to many amps & preventing resetting? Perhaps the reset switch...

Hello Nicolas, You've come to the right place to start with, I learn something new every visit & all seem very helpful & knowledgeable. My advice is: - If money is tight then don't waste the money you do have on badly made tools (usually cheap ones). Old /second hand tools are more likely to...

Ha ..the old lack of space conundrum. Is it just a UK issue? everywhere else seems to have double garages. I moved into a rented workshop last year in a desperate need for space & safety as I had a workbench, desk, table saw, thicknesser, bandsaw, pillar drill, shelving, vacuum chip extractor...

Marcos, what makes you say that the ash will want to move more than the door?...solid core doors are lipped & veneered with all hardwoods without any problems... though I can't remember if the core is also lined with a thin layer of chipboard & then veneered..it was a long time ago since I did...

Zach, I take all advice, arguing & criticism as intended as I believe all on here are here to help ,so I am more than grateful for all your thoughts. It's a tiny porch & I can get a van stuffed full of "left over" oak for £80 in all sizes ..it's 1/2 dried but badly dried but I love it (knots &...

Jacob.. I've woken up a bit more now & see your photo& get what you've explained.

Gasman, your work looks great from what I can see from the photo (I'm not envious..) & I hope that the concerns raised by Jacob do not come true as that would be a real shame. Jacob, I cannot picture what you have explained - is there a book you could recommend that illustrates what you have...

Yes that all makes sense - thanks for taking the time to reply.

I see that this thread is a bit cold but for what it's worth: I found Wordpress hellish to understand as I'm not into computers & so I bought WebplusX5 & found it a doddle to use (having had a lot of experience of photoshop) & the aftersales help from Serif was fantastic..they even took control...

Hi Gasman..I've been puzzling these exact same questions for the past 2 weeks & although I'm not 100% sure how to tackle it either I'm veering towards having the drawers on the ends instead. I am more confident of the strength this way but also won't need to match the grain so carefully. The...

I hope you don't mind me butting in with a question too please? I am also looking to build a glazed, green oak porch & now I'm so glad I've not rushed into it as by what you've said Zach it would've gone horribly wrong by now ! I thought I knew more or less how it will be done but now I'm not...

Thanks Eric.. Yes I do need to work on my inconsistencies (there may be more to follow).. what I was trying to say is that I need a happy medium between hobby & industrial in size & power & just maybe there is a gem out there that fits the bill.. but not having the hands on experience with a...
