Yes we are talking about Decor panels, Neil s was off topic with the Aqua panels which are a tile backing board. Their are lots of makes of these laminated boards and the way to go these days. Quicker than tiles and no grout lines but expensive. Maybe not that great when compared with tiles...

Customer has some shower wall panels coming Thursday. Never used any before, looks easy to install but their is always mistakes to be made. They are to expensive to get wrong. The make they have on order is Atlantis . Shall be doing the whole room with them 5 in total. Any fitting tips please !

A carpenter working on the 5th floor of a building needed a handsaw. He spots another worker on the ground floor and yells down to him, but he can't hear him. So the carpenter on the 5th floor tries sign language. He points to his eye meaning "I", points to his knee meaning "need", then moves...

So here's a few ! My grandad said," your generation relies to much on technology!" I replied, "no, your generation relies to much on technology!" Then i unplugged his life support! What do electric trains and women breasts have in common ? They where originally intended for children but its...

Hi Julian, For a customer this week i had to cut to length the same worktop as yours, i used a cheap Aldi track saw with its cheap blade and it coped ok. Although in my case it fitted between 2 walls so the cuts where hidden but with a sander it would of cleaned up ok to be on show. What i'm...

This is why i hate making doors and windows. Having to return to customers who's windows and doors need to be planed off and repainted is a real pain as i can't charge for this, luckily i don't make many. Saying that i've got 8 to do in the next couple of weeks. Does not matter what timber is...

Rounded up all the stray pencils in my workshop earlier and had a mammoth sharpening session 32 in total. I have 4 tape measures in the workshop and its amazing how one minute i have one in each pocket and the next i'm scratching about trying to lay my hands on one. Once the other half commented...

Thanks chaps thats been a great help. Monkeybiter has come up trumps regarding size, so thanks for that.

I am making a Bar for a customer who wants a fridge for the beer to go under the counter. The space is only around 350mm or 400mm deep if it sticks out on the inside. Does any one make such a beast.

Thanks chaps now sorted. Hi Adidat, "oil scrumping" i like that.

Yes i did look on eBay for a drill pump, was going to get one for £10. Still thinking about it as i did not know if they where any good.

I'm doing some work for a lady who is switching over from oil heating to colour gas. I said i would have whats left over when it happens, should be about 1,500L at 20p per Litre so worth doing. The problems is i need some oil now, i have ten 25L drums ready but trying to work out the best way...

In 26 years as a furniture maker the only time i had to visit A&E was when a fat 3inch splinter went right thro a finger. The other half had just gone off on the school run so i had to wait 1/2 an hour, when they got home her and the kids thought it was a joke. After a lot of pulling it was...

As title, i can't recommend Miles tools and machinery at yeovil enough. I ordered new Brushes for a Bosch router 4 Hrs later i received an email saying dispatched. This is the second time iv'e used them and very pleased with their service !

Nope! As said just standard take down, although not in this country as HSE would be all over them. The saw you mentioned is a top handle saw, i use a Stihl, you would need a chainsaw licence to buy one. HSE don't like them as they are used with one hand and hard to control if kickback.

Hats off to him, i recon he works at the local tip. I'm going to hire a digger as i've got 27 years of crap buried at the bottom of the garden, its going to be well distressed by now. Dam i recently cleared out all my sheds and took 2 transit loads of scrap down the scrap yard and got peanuts...

Fantastic end result, really enjoyed this one, none of that "oh we have run out of money" rubbish that spoils it for me. Clever bloke and his steam bend stuff was amazing. Checked out his website, lampshades £600 ! I expect after this show his order books will go ballistic. I would like to see...

Hi adidat, ha ha you spotted it, yes thats yours on the left. Hi custard, yes lots of projects, sheds to renovate/clad, kitchen extension, timber for doors and windows, trims for the products on my web site, and adidat needs some for an extension on his place. Not quite the quality for Furniture...

First fell your trees. These Douglas Firs I was felling were 100 foot long. Here a friend is hauling out the logs. For some logs I used my own tractor. Logs ready for milling. Another friend in action with his woodmizer. I moved the logs from the stack to the mill using a Kramer...

Called in today everything 1/3 off. I was very good and only spent £20. Boxed spray gun, 45 degree spindle cutter and 10 x 4inch cutting discs. Masses of stuff to go by end of October, will pay another visit in a couple of weeks.
