I have avoided planes as there seems a plethora of types: block, rebate etc available. I need my woodwork to move on a level, and to avoid me relying on sanding, where do I start? I was looking at LN kit but I don't know what I need. I mainly make mirrors - elm, walnut, maple etc and some...

Ahh, how I miss Yandles now we no longer live in Somerset!! Anyone know the nearest equivalent up here in Cambridgeshire?

No photos - the spam catcher does this if you've less than three posts I think it is. No doubt they will show up soon

Thanks - although I bought Liberon rust remover - it worked a treat. Just need to replace the blades now. Don't know a Colin H in Hampshire - sorry.

Where have all of the woodie shows gone from SKY? There used to be Cutting Edge Woodworker, Great British Woodshop, John's Workshop etc and not forgetting Norm. I haven't seen any for ages except that buffoon that does the Salvager - the least talented of all of them.

I've used Liberon finishing oil on an elm chopping board I made - I can't seem to see if it's food safe. Anyone?

Thanks - but I've got a £50 voucher for Axminster which is why I was going there. I was worried about the weight and that it might be a bit heavy for regular useem

I'm looking to buy the T11 router - thinking of ordering tomorrow from Axminster but would be interested on people's view on it as a piece of kit.

Thanks I'll post tomorrow - it's a double door, by the way. Just the angle.

Thanks - Metabo said £68 + vat bit awkward to fit. I will see if I can clean it up - if not any ideas if anyone services/repairs EB kit in the Cambridgeshire area?

Whilst my workshop was effectively mothballed since 2005, my machinery was in a double garage and suffered the effects of damp. My HC 260M Elektra Beckum P/T has been hit hardest and the cylindrical part - the whole drum - where the blade sits has rusted badly. Any experience whether it's an...

With the imminent-ish arrival of a little Hall (February), my plans for a large workshop build have had to go on hold. Luckily, I have finally talked Mrs H into letting me take over the guest annexe which has a small kitchen area and sink, and a small bathroom/wc and shower. The building...

We have an alcove to the side of a chimney breast in the living room which would be nice with shelves and then oak glazed doors in front - a built in bookcase. A flick through the yellow pages shows a host of carpenters and joiners, but it's difficult to know if they are proper craftsman...

I know what you mean about a lack of local suppliers - I'm in Ramsey - I've been to Lincolnshire woodcraft a couple of times but they only seemed to have smaller quantities for turning - no planks etc. Fenland Timber at Whittlesey can order oak in for you - otherwise they're a softwood...

Thanks - everyone - limited wifi access out here so online when I can and Mrs H allows (not often). Hadn't planned on on being online but bought a MacBook in NY - on the basis that I could upload all of the holiday photos from the digital camera in case 'anything should happen to the camera'...

I'm holidaying in New England at the moment - Mrs H is getting ready before we go out for dinner so I'm having a sneaky five minutes on the site. I've seen these chairs all over Vermont and New Hampshire - I think they're called ADIRONDACK chairs - does anyone have any plans because I want to...

I submitted building notice today referring to it everywhere as a large shed!!!

I didn't think all the movie channels were - normally it says on the info screen for each movie if it is DD for dolby digital - I know HD are all 5.1 but not SD as far as I know

Andy, PM sent. Thanks

Have made the mistake of calling it a workshop already albeit I have explained it is a hobby one for domestic use only. I did consider the two buildings idea. Building regs have now said I can submit a BUILDING CONTROL NOTICE but that they will probably want to see ENGINEER'S plans of both...
