Thanks, I’ll take a look

Hi all, I’m after some advice regarding cupboard sliders for heavy weights for things like under stairs and full length kitchen cupboards etc. I’m after side and also floor mounted brackets. If you have any links, makes etc, that would be great. Thanks.

Hi All, I was advised on making my own router table however I haven’t made one before so needed to look at what was needed minimally and while looking at designs for them, I came across this site which has FREE Designs for Router Tables. I thought I would share it with you in case you wanted to...

Hi All, I’ve been looking at Router Tables and as I have a Trend T12 Router, I was looking at this table (https://www.screwfix.com/p/trend-crt-mk3-router-table/257kn?ref=SFAppShare). What I wanted to ask is this, are these known to be decent or terrible. If they are decent, where would you...

Thanks for this information, I’ll have a read through it. I have been toying with the idea of going back to college to do carpentry, but mostly to learn how to use some of the electric tools. Im old school so hand tools which have been used over the last 1000 plus years lol

Agreed, I think buying one will be the best option

I’ll take a look and see what’s on offer. Thanks for the advice

I’ve done that. The hardwood ones (fine thread) I’ve ordered and will be here by 2nd October. I ordered some Trend (coarse thread) from Screwfix and they’ve just arrived so I’m got the frame together now. (Photo 1: my first Pocket Hole Joint, Photo 2: the frame fitted. I now just waiting on a T...

Saved the link thanks

Thanks, I Just took a look and they have the coarse ones in but not the fine ones for hardwood. I’ve saved their website for the coarse screws though.

Thanks for this, I won’t buy from Amazon, I’ve found there are a lot of fake Chinese companies set up to look like the legit ones and they sell subpar items. In this case the screws would be made from a zing alloy which wouldn’t stand up to what I need to build.

I just checked and they don’t do the fine screws only the corse, same for Toolstation. I did get a bit for the screws in with the Trend hole jig.

Thanks I found the screw size via that link, that’s helped a lot. Do you have a link for the screws you buy?

I don’t have the spare funds for one at then moment but planning on getting one when my workshop is finish next year.

Thanks for this. I wasn’t aware the spacers were to only be used once and left in place. I can imagine how dangerous a disk not fitted correctly can be

Hi Fargie, thanks for that. I did look at what could go wrong and I’m usually very good at planning around such things, I also weight the cost of either buying a professional piece of equipment over what I can manufacture myself and I look at several things, the first being the safety...

Hi All, I didn’t realise that the Trend Mini Jig I bought didn’t come with screws and on the box it showed it did. So I’m needing to buy some to finish this project by Sunday. I’m not sure what size I’m needing and may require some different size screws, so 1) is there any you would recommend...

Thanks Peter, I’ve had to get a trend single mini jig as I needed to finish this work by this weekend. I’ll be looking into one of these which you’ve recommended and the screws.

Hi Peter, thanks for this. I watched the video and the guy did a Armour Tool Mini Jig which I think would be better for me. Due to space etc. what price are these?

I’m a bit dubious of Amazon as there is a lot of knock off Chinese rubbish being flooded through there, and there are a lot of con-companies making out they are legitimate companies. Amazons gone downhill a lot
