    Cottage back door for the M-I-L

    Despite no concerns about security it's always best practice to mitre in from the inside. That window is also security risk as it is very wide, I'd recommend the smaller one shown in the advert. Your sketch-up is missing the diagonal braces which add strength. Some door makers advocate cutting...

    No.5 jack plane blade advancement issue

    That's exactly the opposite problem I had with a newly purchased vintage No 4 where mine wouldn't retract, I asked several eBay sellers of cap irons to measure from the bottom of the adjuster slot to the bottom edge and one was 3mm shorter than mine so I bought it and it works fine now. So the...

    Dementia and me.

    I just hope this latest drug is the start of delaying or even stopping progression, too late for my Mum but hope for others who have yet been diagnosed.

    Dementia and me.

    5 years ago my mum was still driving and had no real symptoms until one day she and I went out for a meal and she drove, half way there she started to veer towards the middle of the road, far to often for comfort. I asked her what was wrong and she said 'I thinks I'm wearing the wrong glasses'...

    Thicknesser or Planer - Thicknesser

    I was about to press the button on a Triton TPT125 at £299.95 less 10% at Screwfix so £270 but I left it too late and they sold out :(. The few retailers that have them in stock are charging a lot more so I've decided to wait. It's a good machine and well recommended on this forum.

    Which cordless system are you going with..if any?

    The Dewalt radio is excellent but mine is battery only which can be a pain when using it in the workshop as it ties up a battery so I've bought a duff 1.5Ahr battery off eBay, took out the cells, used an old 18v laptop power adapter and bought a couple of cheap step down power circuit boards to...

    Sold Simon Fairlie Austrian Scythe & Sickle

    I'm afraid I can't find any postage less than £28. I've found my original receipt and I actually paid £22 postage! Can you find it cheaper?

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    I suggest you research. Try online first to gauge what high end kitchenware like this is sold online and at what price point then checkout local independent kitchenware retailers to test if they may be happy to sell your low volume, high quality chopping boards and pay you an amount that...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    Beautiful chopping board - very much high end market (lucky Mam) you could definitely sell it but you need to high price it accordingly then work on streamlining your production process to reduce your labour and develop other variants from solid wood that are less expensive but still high end...

    Hermes gone to the dogs?

    I use them fairly regularly and they've been fine. I must say that I now use Royal Mail collect and deliver for smaller parcels (our postie collects when delivering our mail) as it is an excellent service and competitive pricing.

    The joys of workshop rearranging

    Many on this forum have their own rules for hoarding offcuts and, until last year, I adopted your philosophy of 'it might come in useful one day', the key word here is 'might' so you need to be ruthless and recycle or burn anything you haven't used for at least a year and have no project in mind...

    Which cordless system are you going with..if any?

    Started on Makita 18v NiCad then moved over to DeWalt Li-on drill, impact driver, circular saw, and angle grinder which are excellent but now strangely drawn to Metabo. I've had a Metabo Duo Corded Sander for years that I've now replaced with a Metabo Mirka clone that is superb so I'm wondering...
