Some top suggestions there thank you! Will have a look at what’s around now and what kind of cost. Sure there must be a cheaper hobby 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

lol it’s all good. Wanted to see what kind of size and brands before I started to look to buy but now I’ve got some ideas I’ll slide on over to the for sale section and have a look thanks!

Wanted to know what I’m looking for before I get into budget.

Looking to buy a lathe (second hand probably unless I see a stunning deal!) but haven’t used one since school and don’t know what to look for in terms of size / power and brand? Mainly want to use for smaller items - bowls, furniture feet etc and space is limited in my ‘workshop’ eg single...

Afternoon I'm just in planning stages for a bunk bed project (single over double). I have bed parts from the single bed that I can re-use however the current bed uses a cross dowel bolt system e.g. to attach legs and sides to header / footer. I was contemplating using the Domino connectors...

Thank you 🙏🏼

It’s portable already as it’s on wheels however I’m really looking for a system that starts up with the tool being used rather than having to constantly connect / disconnect etc

Hi I’ve had a brief search through previous posts and a scour on YT but I’m always eager to get some ‘real world’ experience and advice as it were! Im moving to a new house that has a garage which I’m eager to set up as my workshop and would love to get dust extraction set up as one of the...

Enjoying this thread - I have even less space than you so everything on workshop is on (locking) castors so that it can be moved if needed and at the same height - just need to work out a way to lock them together now!! As for materials - check out FB marketplace and / or Freecycle - I got an...

Yes I've watched that video already and did think it seems like a decent investment it was more the waiting for it to arrive! What can I say I'm impatient! I do also like that Peanut 2 Mini Jig whilst fiddly (in terms of the almost constant repositioning) offers the option for dominos, dowels or...

:ROFLMAO:

Morning (almost!) Just looking for peoples experience with using gas struts when building storage beds. I'm aware that there are plenty of 'ottoman bed' fixings that are supposedly easier to mount however they also seem to have a larger number of moving parts and I'm not sure I can see the...

Hi Did this sell?

Thanks all! I had considered the festool domino but was worried about the size / depth constraints of the DF500 as my work can range from small to large scale pieces of furniture (although usually in that mid range of bed frames, side boards and dining tables / chairs) and the XL is...

Having difficulty deciding between purchasing the Peanut 2 Full or the revised Mini Jig. I've watched all the videos on YT from both Peter Millard and IF and I can't find a 'comparison' one? Has anyone got or used both? Which is quickest & easiest to use? For reference I make furniture (but also...

I really dislike Titan products but that’s for another thread. After being in your position about a year ago and doing loads of research (that’s a deep YT hole to fall into) I bought the Makita 2012NB (link here but shop around as Ffx seems expensive on this?! Makita 2012NB 240v Portable Planer...

Thanks all for the reply! I do like the idea of the shipping container - those things can look awesome and a workshop would be a good ‘dry run’ for fitting them out to let as a holiday rental. Unfortunately, the access to the back garden is only through the house or across the neighbours...

Hi all I’ve reached a point where I’m struggling to work in the room in my house I have designated as workshop space. So now I’m planning how I can move it into the garden but I could really do with some help and / or advice please. Firstly cost. I’m on a super limited budget. What’s the...

Similar the box idea but a box (picture) frame also is a lovely gift :) I made one for my nephew - I will try and dig out the photo - but my sister put some of his keepsakes in it - hospital band, scan photo and has it on the wall.

Thank you
