It's been on quite a bit recently -all repeats I imagine as there doesn't seem to be any new woodworking stuff on Sky anymore

Thanks -anyone else?

Sort of woodwork related for this section (mods feel free to move to general off topic if not appropriate) I bought this today as a Georgian Oak cutlery tray - circa 1810, but it feels a little light for oak. I can normally tell oak but I'm not sure this isn't pine. Any help, chaps?

You have to be quick to get in before Roger when a bargain comes up! :D :D

Nice job, well done!

Thanks for the advice - I went out to the timber yard this morning to order the wood. However, I'm looking after our 7 month old daughter this morning as it's my wife's first day back after maternity leave. I called in at teh supermarket, then into a big toy shop to get her some pressies -...

I've made a couple of oak L&B doors before, but I need to make a pine one - nothing fancy as it's being painted white. Were they always traditionally made using T&G boards? I did last time, but I'm wondering if it's necessary.

Thanks - I'll probably give Axminster a try in light of the comments.

Having heard that Dragon Saws is no longer in business, where's the best place to get bandsaw blades now? I suppose in absence of any other recommendations, that i shall be ordering from Axminster.

The cracks are too big, mainly hairline but a couple a bit wider than others. I've tried covering with masonry paint but a couple reappeared after a few weeks - being a fens property I suppose I have to expect some movement.

My Dewalt palm sander has gone - it's about four years old and started playing up, first of all cutting out, then starting and stopping straight away. Now it won't start at all. Is it ever economically viable to get power tools like this fixed, or is is just as cheap o buy a new one?

As part of our great escape back to Somerset (hopefully), I need to get teh house ready to put on the market. It's an old cottage and there are a few thin render cracks. What's the best way to fill them as I'm going to paint the house when I've finished. Anyone had similar issues and...

Very sorry. Our cat is part of the family, not just a pet, so know how you feel. I've been there before and it's horrible.

I'll be watching this one closely - looking for a similar solution myself.

Welcome, Jim. I'm sue you'll get plenty of help from the chaps on here.

Yes, I like that idea. Might build one after the new workshop reopening (I'm having to put the shop into mothballs for a while). Building up to going out to the 'shop in a minute, but tea and toast first I think.

Good one. Will be borrowing that idea. :D

That's what I'm looking forward to - I've already got the workshop planned in my head. Need to get the house to go with it now.

Will have to got for one of those options - not sure which yet.

It starts to be uneconomical to hire as I'd need it for a few weeks - each stage of garden needs doing - spread over about 1 1/2 acres and each has trees/hedges etc so doing trimming/pruning on and off over a few weeks.
