When I got my hand caught in the planer/thicknesser, the nurse in A&E asked how it happened then said "Ah, a woodworker. At least you will be familiar with the repair process." And then she superglued and pinned (stapled) my finger tip back in place.

Yes

I think we all knew that from your initial post.

Do inexplicable cuts and bruises count? I've never really thought of them as 'collections' as they were all for use and regular enjoyment rather than display only but over the years I have owned and enjoyed a lot of photographic equipment, books and records/CD's. About the only thing I'm an...

They've already been donated to some charity so not all bad.

Chance to save big today. Axminster appear to have knocked 10% of many of their items, including those listed on ebay. Allied to that, and of special interest to nectar card holders, there's a whopping 50x bonus point offer, effectively 25% back on prchases over £10, valid from midday to 1pm...

Recent adverts I've seen recently claim having a smart meter can a) show what's consuming the power, b) reduce bills by 30+% and c) reduce carbon footprint by x million tonnes. All complete nonsense. I moved to a house that had smart meters installed. Soon after moving in, the previous owner...

That's as maybe and to some extent was covered by some entrants and the skill challenges which included turning, carving and marquetry. However, to liken it to other series, e.g. Bake Off, for a final I would be expecting bit more of a showstopper, one that demonstrated 'actual proper' skills...

I did think it was going to look as hideous as his drinks cabinets and I'm never going to see daisy Dukes in the same way ever again however I concede it did look better than expected. But was it - what was her phrase? - "actual, proper jointing"? I'm not so sure it was. I don't think it was...

True, maybe he just got off on the idea of having 120 clamps at his disposal. Still robbed as even 'unfinished' his final build had far more to do with woodworking than something using half a ton of screws to stiffen it up.

Who do you think?

Radha was robbed again

First up is a set of 62323 Long Nose Jaws. These are brand new, never been used, not sure they've ever even been out of the box £50.

Many thanks

Inspired by Jay Bates, I built something like his work station, with the emphasis firmly on 'something like'! I positioned it along the back wall of my single-car garage which was a little over 8 foot long, with the mitre saw dead centre. It looked the business and worked great - providing I...

Do we still have a legal eagle in the house? I moved house earlier in the year and hired a removal firm to transport the contents of my house and workshop. Not everything has made it here. I notified the removal firm as soon as it was obvious things were missing, not just unpacked. They said...

I placed an order with Axi yesterday. Almost immediately I received a confirmation and just as immediately noticed it was showing my old address. I phoned straight away and in the short time it took to get through to someone in Customer Service, I'd received another email confirming my order had...

Whether he had immunity or not, his piece was clearly the best in the show and he should have been WotW too. Misti's monstrosity was hideous and tge decision to award it WotW was definitely an ofo moment. No qualms with Billy going. Money still on Misti to win overall.

The Domino and Incra LS by far my two best investments by far.
