I would have preferred to use green oak but it is not available as a building material here (Hungary) and usually ends up as firewood. The vast majority of houses have wood fuelled heating here. Also, tanalised or pressure treated timber is not available at the wood yard although I've heard that...

I've just been down to my local wood yard to buy the Pine for a Pergola I'm about to build (I'm not in the UK so bear that in mind). I was in there last week just to get a feel for the price and I was told that all of their wood was classed as dry even though it was only cut down 2 weeks before...

I use toothpicks to pack out screw holes when the screw doesn't bite anymore.

I have the same saw and here is a picture of my fence carriage. This is how it came and I haven't had any problems with it. I did have a problem with the extensions as the threads were clogged with weld spatter but Ax were happy to send me a thread cutter and I sorted it out quite easily.

If you put a medium sized lump of concrete on the end of that rebar it will be solid as a rock.

Originally, that was the plan but I have a terraced plot and the retaining wall that is under the concrete was found to be less than sturdily built and I didn't fancy putting a building on it for that reason. My workshop is now in the basement of the house and centrally heated. :D Thanks TN...

The concrete pad was already in place before the decision to put a Pergola on it was made.

OK, so my next project is to build a Pergola. The concrete pad is already done (7.6m x 4.8m) and I've just started on the design which has a couple of site related issues that need designing out. The wood will either be treated Pine or green Oak depending on what's available and the price. I'm...

Dogtopia Dog World Houndland K9 Adventure Park Crofts Is there a free kitchen for the winning suggestion?

On YouTube there is a furniture restorer called Thomas Johnson. I'm not a restorer but I like his videos, maybe you're already aware of him. He covers everything from clean up to complete re-build. Your piece looks in good shape and maybe just needs a little clean and wax.

Throw that on the Barby!

Pics or it didn't happen. :wink:

Have you checked the head and tail stock cam locks for debris?

If it's any help I have a similar sized workshop and my set up consists of the following - a shop vac for general cleaning and I've just got an adapter to attach it to the sander. A Jet DC1100A Extractor that does a good job of collecting the waste from my PT, table saw and bandsaw. A Record...

The best way to understand the value of second hand items is to put the make and model into an eBay search and select 'show completed items' then, taking into account the condition, find a rough average of sold prices. You'll get plenty of help and advice on here too.

This is interesting as I need to replenish my blade stock. I'm not in the UK but I brought a couple of Tuffsaw M42's with me when I moved which are done now. I tried buying some homemade blades locally as suppliers are virtually non-existent here but the quality was very poor and I broke/blunted...

Thanks Tn, I'll have a look at that. My antivirus programme offered me a free trial of their VPN so I installed it and tried to use iPlayer which told me that it knew I was using a VPN therefore was blocking my access! I gave up after that.

I live outside the UK and use a subscription website called Transponder for UK based telly, no licence required.

Came here to make a Pinocchio joke. :D
