I’ve always had great service from Beverstock in Wales. Good advice. Great blades.

I’m interested if it’s still for sale?

Either Osmo Top oil (available in matt or satin) or Chestnut Food Safe Oil. I know some people who use Odies Oil / wax, but it's f****** expensive.

Is it a spindle you’re turning or a bowl? Either way, don’t use a skew if you’re a beginner. But in any event , sparks should only be for the grinder, not timber. Harder timber is great to turn, you just can’t take too much off in one cut, but the upside is a great finish from the tool, before...

I've used some of the Osmo coloured oil with good results on oak. They do a couple of silver colours I think. Click Osmo oil

Ive found this article in an old magazine. I could scan it if anyone's interested? It about 10 pages of info.

Do you know if the gas strut is an option on the A3 41? I’m thinking of getting one and would specify it. I can ask the Felder rep anyway.

I’ve produced quite a few chopping / serving boards in both face grain and end grain. I’d go for a wider (310 or 410) thicknesser if you have room and the cash. You can use a hand plane or sledge on the thicknesser to get it flat first. A 260mm wide chopping board is a bit limited. I have also...

“Loose” shavings from a thicknesser burn pretty quickly - a dustbin’s worth lasts about a day. You need to put more on about every 20 minutes and be careful not to put the flames out (that’s when you get explosive mixtures). Sawdust from a vacuum for sanders etc I always just put the whole...

That's great. On every level. You finished it ✅ It looks great ✅ You used machines and hand tools ✅ You're going to do more woodwork ✅ You know how to get better ✅

Ive used Lancashire Saw in the past and been happy. I've had stuff mailed back to me (including circular saw blades and planer knives), so I guess you could send stuff to them.

Here's mine. An old offcut of oak worktop on two sawhorses, so I can move it/hide it when I need to move stuff around in the shop. A Trend T11 under it. T-track and extrusion both bought from eBay, some from China which arrived in about 3 weeks. I can put auxiliary fences on to the aluminium...

Where did you get these from?

GWR Fasteners via eBay are good.

I'm making a kitchen worktop in olive - finished size 20mm thick. I'll be making it from probably 75mm staves, with loose tongues (20mm x 6mm) to joint the staves. I'm not sure if I should use an edge jointing cutter on the end grain, or loose tongues again. It's a straight 2.5m run, no joints...

Wealden, as others have said, or RouterCutter

I've decided to get the Bessey ones in, with the Uniklamp "freebies". I've also had a quote of £59.58 ex-VAT for the 78" Record T-bar, which look tempting, too. Can't have enough clamps. Thanks for all your help guys.

You can get the "normal" Record sash clamps (not T bar) for £130 for 4off, 54" ones. The T bar ones are a lot more expensive.

The ones I currently have are the T-Bar ones (Model L136) and they're old. But work like new. They'll outlast me! As for Rutlands / Axi/ Bessey and sash clamps I can get Rutlands - Parallel Jaw Clamps - 1200mm x 95mm - Pack of 4 for £120 Axi - Axminster Trade Clamps HD Parallel Jaw Clamp...
