We where discussing the Toolbox in Colyton East Devon a couple of weeks ago. It looks like he could not find a buyer as they having a closing down sale at the moment. Haven't been in myself to take a look, may pop over if i have a spare hour, next week.

Wow i've finally got in first ! Better type this quick. Hi Dandan, you have not said what your skill level is but i would suggest start with the easiest and smallest first, then if things don't go right you have not spent and wasted to much on materials. Coffe table and bookcase would be the...

Have you a jigsaw, clamp a load of the uncut dowels between 2 bits of wood clamp this to the bench with a slight overhang cut along with jigsaw, unclamp move the uncut dowel along reclamp and repeat. I have never done it this way as i would always cut dowels on the bandsaw, so don't know if it...

Hi Matt as above but use a brush on Tanalith called End Seal on all cuts. Although the Tanalising does not go all the way through the timber and in my experience just a few millimetres its all we have to use. If you can get as much timber away from the ground the longer it will last.

I've used both methods, and would favour Jacobs way. Feed the board over the cutters as usual, it will miss the front, cut in the middle then miss the back, once done a couple of times you will soon have a flat section in the middle, which will get longer the more passes you make.

You are welcome any time ! Just outside of Honiton.

Before it was the Toolbox the unit was a Fudge maker and during the summer when we both had our doors open the smell coming from that unit when they had big cauldrons of molten fudge bubbling away was just devine. After they went Gerry Dawson (the chap you met Bm) opened up the Toolbox. When i...

Yea some people are so kind, he must be the same chap who regularly rings me up to let me know my computer is doing strange things or the chap who lets me know my broadband is going to be terminated.

Hi Bm, You where down my neck of the woods. I used to run a picture framing workshop in the centre unit, the one you went into from the shop counter. The chap who started the Toolbox took my unit and knocked thro, this is the second owner, he's a model engineer more than a tool collector. Yes...

Blimey chaps my other half has been saying all this to me for years ! Thats why 3 months ago she said can you leave me your workshop key and i will give it a good clean. When i returned, their was a massive bonfire going. That pile of broken furniture that needed major repairs, all the offcuts...

Had the same problem myself as I'm not VAT registered. I have had various outlets ask if they could sell my items but they would be looking at 20% plus 20% vAT so i could not lower my prices by the 40% required. If anyone knows how then share it with us.

Hi Carl I can't answer all your questions someone will be along soon who can, i just wanted to say if you are rolling or brushing A/c Laquer you will need to add a retarder ( not sure if the spellings right) Morrells will recommend one. If you open all the windows and doors and don't do it next...

All my hardwood gets delivered in, £300 order has free delivery. Give them a list of sizes, they give me a lump sum. BACS or card payment and its here within a week. Never been to their yard to pick through, never had any rubbish delivered. I used to use Timbersource from Sheptonmallet, for no...

Ours is a spring fed supply, can't be bothered with all that UV and filtering. Just don't drink it, we buy bottled water from the supermarkets at 12p per bottle. Told the kids when brushing their teeth not to swallow any as we call it ditch water. Never been ill from it in 26 years. When it...

Once working for a client who had just taken delivery of some logs. He was boasting that with his meter they were 18%, i said now chop a log in half and take another reading, 50% in the centre !

Sorry thats Tuesday 26th

For East Devon try MST Auctions. This Tuesday 25th Timber/ Machinery/ Tools. They usually have Woodworking related stuff every month.

I have the Dewalt power shop, its the most used machine in my workshop, on nearly all day. Great for cutting Tennons as well.

Back when i was an apprentice draftsman in an electronics factory i was doing some text to an assembly drawing when i used the word LOWERMOST as opposite to uppermost. I was called up in front of my superior when i refused to change it. My daughter would call a robin a robin rest breast.
