I am looking at buying a disc for quick stock removal. It will be mainly for scooping chair/stools seats and for contouring drawer/door fronts to cabinets etc. Was wondering if anyone had experience of any of these below and whether there was a preference in terms of greater control, stock...

Hadn't considered R.E. magnet. May give that a go. Thanks Lurker, also find brand new planer blades manage to find them very well. Amazes me how much damage a small staple can do!

Hi Guys, Anyone got any recommendations for a hand held detector for finding metal in timber. Seen old post recommending little wizard but doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Ideally need one that will detect down to a couple of inches at least. Thanks Kev

Hi all, I need to build some units for a client that need to be finished with a dark wood stain. Trouble is they are also going to be used outside (will be wheeled outside during the day and back inside at night). They will be under an awning but will still be exposed to outside moisture etc...

Thanks all, will let you know how I get on.

Wuffles - think that makes sense but if I went this route could I not just use a 1 gang 1 way switch into a surface mounted back box or would there be concern with running 13A through that. mseries - have no experience of these, how do they work? Dee J - is it as simple as just lowering the...

After some advice given my limited understanding of electrics. I built a unit a while ago for my daughters bedroom which is a combination of shelving, cupboard space and a desk . The unit has three mini overhead LED lights above the desk space and a coloured fluorescent tube on top behind a...

Have just finished a job using Tricoya. It was specified by the designer for some planters and have to say was really impressed with it. Was a bit sceptical, not knowing much about it at all (even went as far as leaving a piece in the kids pool for a couple of weeks just to check its...

Another 1 for painting - worse thing in the world. Also second listening to talk radio. Radio 4 and 4 extra are great. Find listening to music all day makes my head hurt. Big fan of music but not as background noise. guess that makes me not fun either - and there's me thinking I was being...

Would welcome any views on something I have been asked to price for. A builder friend I do some work for needs a wide front door and sidelight for a client. Basically the design needs to look something like this: https://www.howdens.com/content/image/2724-4994-1.jpg Now these are obviously...

I always use Aquamac 21 as well. Works well. Kev

Think I will get hold of a devils stone and try this. As you say it seems easier to clamp, scratching my head tying to work out how you would fix a diamond point. Both seem better than the dressing tool I have (realise this now!).

Thanks guys. Good advice. Yes the grinder is bolted down. I have the BGM-100 set up as well and was using that with a SVD-110 tool rest but just seemed to be removing stone but not altering the shape of the wheel so to speak. Perhaps was pushing to hard. Like the idea of clamping it. Will...

Wonder If anyone had any help. Bought a new 8" bench grinder (record) with a view to be able to grind wood turning chisels on it and finish off on my Tormek as needed. The problem I had was that the vibration was so much that it was just not possible. I know this is not a top of the range...

Memzey. As has been said by others the load bed is quite short (mine is the D40 by the way) and although you can leave the tailgate open (the anchoring system they have for tying stuff down makes this feasible) the wheel arches still cause a problem. It is about 3 1/2 feet between wheel arches...

I have Nissan Navara which is fine for timber but not great for full sheets but normally have these delivered anyway. Think it depends on what you are looking for i.e. a car that doubles as a work vehicle or a vehicle purely for work. If its the former don't underestimate how 'worn' they can get...

Agree with all others, sounds like blunt cutter. Have cut a fair few of these in MR MDF and as long as it is sharp (does need constant touching up with a diamond stone) then should not be a problem. Also find it cuts better in pillar drill if you have one.

Gone.

Hi all Having a spring clean in workshop. I have a Jet Scrollsaw JSS-16. Bought it 5 years ago and have never used it (still works - I checked it!!) Anyway if anyone wants it and can collect it its yours. I am in SE Kent. Will take first PM. Kev

Not something I have come across but others may have. I guess the other thing you could do is put some steel/butt hinges, (or the like) on the left hand side of the trap door. Not clear from your drawing how much overhang you have but assuming there is enough these should be fine. The hinges...
