I bought a second hand DW733 a short while ago. The person I bought it from bought it in 2020 but hadn’t used it and it sat in his workshop for two years so was effectively brand new but not box. It clearly hadn’t been used. I’ve used it on some pine and about 8 boards of oak but the blades...

I’m looking for a compressor for a nailer and, maybe but to a much lesser extent, for spraying projects. Has anyone experience with this model on the Axminster website as it has no reviews? Thanks

Thanks, yes have routers, Much appreciated, have most things now except table saw, router table and surface planer. Just taking me time to build back up.

Yes we have a couple of 17th and 18th c doors with no braces and they’ve done ok. I made oak doors with just ledges about 18 years ago and so far no sagging but did use t&g joints (which shouldn’t impact on sagging).

Actually should have said just ledges no braces on these. My error.

I’m making a number of the above oak doors for our cottage. I’m building up my workshop again having sold everything off and still need to get a table saw and router table although I do have a Festool tracksaw and also a plane r thicknesser. As I need to crack on with the first one before I...

Thanks should there be tyres on both wheels?

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. There is no black rubber tyre on the top wheel. Should it have one? On the bottom wheel there appears to be something of a rubber tyre but worn but it is stuck to the wheel and won’t come off. How would I remove it, please?

I recently bought a Kity 613 bandsaw and replaced the blade. It seemed to be ok and I cut a piece of a small cherry log I had stored for ages and some resin seemed to come out and cover the blade. When I checked the wheels they are extremely sticky and I can’t get it off and it’s been about a...

Just wondered if anyone knew if anyone knows of a suppler of workshop machinery covers. I’m thinking for things like my bandsaw and table saw as the workshop gets very cold in the autumn/winter and I want to avoid rust. Mainly so I can cover them up in the evening and put them to bed!!

I didn’t realise building control applied! I was thinking of making our so will need to check requirements. Another regulation....!

. My local one had a newly arrived stock of Parkside compressors next to the vacs

Thanks, Pete. Wouldn’t have seen these otherwise. Just went and bought one. Nearly bought the Parkside compressor too as I want one for a nail gun for brads but decided to wait as I don’t know enough about them

Thank you, I agree I don’t like the narrow boards, I was planning on three oak boards with three ledges and no braces. I have nine to make!!

Quick question about these doors, do the boards always have to be tongue and groove boards?

Hmmm, you could be right I suppose. Was thinking of a contrasting wood to make a feature but I suppose it could be overpowering

Hi I’m about to start making oak ledge doors for the cottage. I’m making the Suffolk latched and bolts from oak aswell. I quite fancy making wooden strap or T - hinges too. Has anyone made these recently? I’ve seen some on YouTube but can’t see many examples. I know it might be over...

Gosh, I appear to have started a debate here, thanks everyone for the input. As someone who is a self taught amateur, and had gap of a few years since I had a workshop, I was of the view of David Charlesworth was using it, it was probably the done thing. I am keen to use my hand tools...

Just saw a video on YouTube where David Charlesworth puts the chisel into an small metal guIde to get the angle right for sharpening his chisel. Does anyone know which one he is using, please?

Thanks, will take a look on eBay. Not great heavy duty nailing, more brads etc. Starting making a kitchen from scratch soon will be using on that
