For chopping boards, no treatment is required. After use wipe with a damp cloth and an occasional scrub is all that is needed. Colin

Could it be because of the viscosity level being to high for your spray equipment. Is it worth trying a watered down mix as a test run? Colin

I'm an ex diesel Yeti owner and liked the car a lot for the 5 years we owned it. In 2019 I could not find a direct replacement, the Karoq was to expensive and in short supply so went a different direction. I bought a new high spec Audi A3 petrol for £3K less than the Karoq. I have to admit the...

I think would seal the surface with a coat of your chosen finish first. Forstner bit drill where you want to finish in the corners. Cut majority of waste out with a down-cut blade in a jigsaw a few mm away from your fish line. Clamp a batten in place and bearing guide router cut against this...

Steve, you are probably looking at more like 160+ metres. Best of luck. Colin

A modern one, from Kaleb Cooper on Jeremy Clarkson's farm "Dreams don't work unless you do" Colin

It may also be marketed as Tulip Wood. Colin

A castellated nut and split pin would be the old school 100% solution to the problem. I'd be happy with a nylock and a spot of loctite, just in case. Colin

Redwood to me is pine, sometimes with knots and sap pockets. But the main drawbacks are it is softer and not as stable as the poplar. The latter in particular I find important as I sometimes use fairly wide sections for doors and the stuff remains very flat and seems to have low shrinkage across...

Worn thumbs, I was not passing judgement on the rights of an individual to spend their time and money as they wish. I was simply asking a question. I also did not mention the resin cost but that of the felt and CNC . Colin

I'm guessing that is not going to be cheap to make. You will need a LOT of felt circles or the felt and CNC machine. Is it cost effective? Colin

I bought a second hand Startrite TA175 nearly 30 years ago. I cleaned it up, repaired the fence, moved the riving knife assembly back so it could run with [thinner kerf] 12" blades, made an extraction point at the base and painted it. I then put it on a caster base so it is very easy to move...

Brick acid would be my choice. I even used it to remove dry mortar splattered over a vinyl kitchen floor. Colin

Brexit + Covid = INFLATION Colin

Brown shoe polish on an offcut would be worth a try. Colin

I taught secondary school Tech for 35 years so know how you feel. Rub joint and pva, or Titebond, with masking tape is the logical way to go. But sometimes I used to have the glue gun handy. Rub pva on as usual, add a couple of very small dabs of hot glue, bring surfaces tightly together and...

I found a set of three works in our bungalow, but it is only half the length of your mansion. I was directed to the product by a fellow forum member who bought more than one pack. You can add to what you have, move them around as you wish and generally experiment until you get the performance...

I installed one of these in our new bungalow. It has been excellent and I wonder why I never did it in my previous one. https://www.johnlewis.com/tp-link-deco-m4-whole-home-mesh-wi-fi-system-ac1200-pack-of-3/p5381792 Colin

I like the idea of an electric car, but not the reality of running one. We all know about the high vehicle costs, charging infrastructure not being fit for purpose, the higher rates you have to pay for electricity when you find one that works, higher car insurance etc, but what about sad caravan...

My first thought is Oak. It does look a bit like Chestnut, but I think it would be to soft. Colin
