I have a draper vac in my workshop and I can't fault it (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-13785-Vacuum-Cleaner-Stainless/dp/B007574IKY). The filter clogs up a bit with dust but I just have to pop the top off and give it a shake and it will be back to full sucking power.

It sounds like you need someone with building/renovating experience who can explain the options you might have to achieve the end result.

Nice, it certainly looks like Walnut. The panels don't look thin (1" maybe?) so, as long as you store them in a dry place they should be fine.

It would be quite a financial risk to even just have a go. The cost of epoxy is pretty high and if it fails or is full of bubbles then that's a lot of dough down the drain.

Screws. :)

There is another post - Have come across some 2"x1" Sycamore - uses? - from a member about Sycamore but it is actually Elm he has a chance of buying. Maybe.....

And ready for a coat of lacquer. I installed the front panels and rails which was made easier by the fact that I could fix the bottom rail to the post. I then installed the rest but, although I got a tight fit between the posts, the top rail is the only part that is fixed to anything. To...

My big summer project this year was to build a Pergola next to my house. I had the area concreted over last October to make an area where we can sit out and enjoy the view and get a bit of shade in summer (be aware, this post will contain gratuitous pictures of the lovely view from my house). I...

If the wood is getting so wet that it is swelling and causing an issue with shutting it then you would have to get it thoroughly dry before painting it. Have you checked the hinges to make sure they are fixed securely and not moving?

From the colour it looks like some kind of Mahogany.

Very nice, thanks Derek.

That looks great, I can't wait to see it.

If you are asking about buying new for £500 then you could be struggling. I bought the Axminster AC216TS just over a year ago when it was a smidge over £500 (it's over £600 now) but the induction motor is 1100W. It's fine for what I need as long as I remember to take a couple of passes with...

The top looks lovely but I'm not keen on the green paint.

Nice table Paul. I like the effect you've gone for on the top.

I think whatever went through the holes was to either link them to another bench or secure them to something.

You're right, I didn't mean 'actively' promote but anyone looking at his face is subjected to the 'advertising'.

Have you checked the other side of the top to see if it still square? The end grain on your board shows the centre of the tree so it could be that the wood is moving and opening up that gap.

He has them tattooed all over his face, in what way is he keeping it to himself? The Nazis are not a political party, they are a hate group. It doesn't matter whether anyone recognises them or not, the fact that he has Nazi and White Supremacist symbols tattooed on his face is enough. He won't...

I've also got the 1100A (with the cloth bag) and I have considered trying to improve the collection by having a cyclone and also reduce the footprint it takes up in my shop but i'm confused by the comment above. Surely, if nothing gets to the bag then everything goes to the box which is quite...
