Very lightly used whilst renovating our house. I am selling as I upgraded to a Festool saw with rails as I tend to make more stuff using 8' * 4' sheet material. Comes with a couple of blades. Looking for £75 and collection from Blandford, Dorset or if you want to pay for courier...

We are moving house and having to go into rented and so I am taking it as an opportunity to sell my beloved machinery that has served me well over the years whilst I renovated our house. Ideally, I would like to sell it as a job lot to someone who like myself is a hobby worker who doesn't want...

I am selling these Wealden Tools cutters (full details below link) I have used them to make exactly 6 replacement sashes (softwood) for the property we live in and have just sold. So the likelihood of me ever using them again is probably a zero. Details There is some mild surface corrosion...

Thanks Ollie. The scoring with a knife seems like a good idea too.

Building a boat would be on the bucket list if money and time were no object. Looks like a fascinating project to be involved with.

I need to replace an exterior door on our house and it's a strange size. 814mm (3' 8") * 1992mm now it's the height that is the issue as this is 40mm less than the stock 2032mm * 813mm door size that is stocked by your Howdens type companies. What I am trying to understand is that it says max...

Mason bees will be there before you know it.

That's a very nice bug hotel. I trust you don't have any riff raff staying there.

That would be perfect!

I have made a concrete and oak bird table with a hip style roof out of 12mm birch ply. Obviously, the birch ply is not weather proof and I really want to try and find somebody that can either create a copper / tin or lead pyramid that will sit on top of the birch and make the whole thing water...

I have decided it's probably easier to remake the doors. Thankfully, I did laminate both sides of the doors on our under stairs cupboard that I made recently as that would have been a real pain.

Some time ago I made some small doors for a wall mounted vanity unit and I only laminated one side of the 18mm birch ply (I found out sometime ago on here that it's a big no no) The doors in question are 300mm square and I wanted to share an image of how one has twisted so badly that I'll need...

Thanks for the explanation.

How did you get the grain to follow around the 90 degree as it looks continuous as if it hasn't been cut?

That's some very nice veneering there.

I use an electric blanket and then throw an old sleeping bag over the top. Works a treat even on night's when it's below zero. Top tip is to turn the blanket on and wrap it in the bag ahead of time so that it's already warm for when you need it.

Yes. I spoke with Hammer and they mentioned this, but they were still nearly 7k Inc vat for the C31 base machine with a few extras fitted.

Thanks for that tip. I'm near Poole so not far for me. I'll have a look at the sites you mentioned 👍

The machine has now been sold, so missed the boat this time around.

I've just checked and I have a 40 amp breaker in the house and 10mm armoured to the garage. I suspect with voltage drop that would be on the limit.
