stair gates have them when they go on the bottom step, and then you don't have to step over anything, it's in the crook of the first (or last) step. here there is nothing but the metal frame to screw down to, and we are talking 2 70+ year olds walking up a very steep and twisting spiral...

Fraserburgh? I got my sharpening equipment from WSH as well, Matt will always take time to help and guide on the phone / email, great service.

We know Axminster do check the site, however Rutlands don't seem to. I must say that although I will buy from both (and WSH as well), I put Axminster into a completely different league than Rutlands on both a website and customer service level. (Collecting business cards from all the top...

it needs to go in to a very small space indeed, so I think anything with a sliding carriage is not going to fit... I looked at some ryobi, however for £200 with aluminium tables and brush motors, still leaning towards the ax. however, a 76 year old moving around a 55kg table saw... on bench tops.

Problem is that that part of the floor is metal, where the stair finishes...so the floor is out of bounds for working on...

Good idea. I will suggest it, although I think that as it's in constant use another solution is preferred. I have thought up a double hinge with a small strip in between wall and door to make the whole thing fold around, which may also work. cheers!

This is just a gate at the top of a spiral staircase to stop pets and children from getting up / down respectively....

There was a recent thread on this, in only the last couple of weeks....https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/glue-gun-recommendation-t62588.html

door fixed at A and needs to swing from B to C at other end.

Hi, the main problem with that is that the protrusion has to be equal to the width of the gate. If this is 3/4". then you need pretty massive hinges.... probably 2". However perhaps you are thinking of the hinges with the fixings horizontally across the gate, rather than vertically along the...

anyone know if these exist? I have a gate that needs to open 270 degrees....

My father wants to get a table saw, he is 76 and will not use it an awful lot, however there are some things for which it will be really handy. Thing is given the level of usage he won't spend more than a couple of hundred. So there are a few possibilities.... 1) anything that cheap will not...

That looks perfect, as long as the hinges will fit the attachment... I'll try one ;-)

I have an axminster with significant wobble out of the box. The clamshells seem an odd way to do it, as you can tighten the wheel on at any angle barr true it seems! I just fiddled and fiddled until the were roughly right, bit like trying to get the gimball straight in apollo 13. Now i think...

I tried a few cheapies and were rubbish. Perhaps one job, however for £70 you'd expect more than one job. Have a look at the earlex http://www.mptools.co.uk/products.asp?partno=HV5000 Has been highly recommended by a number of online woodworker reviews. Not bad at £139

I have a shelf pin jig from rockler, which has a self centering bit and works really nicely. One of the features is that the hole spacing, and depth from edge means you can use them for hinges too. So for a kitchen cab, just create the shelf pin holes, attach hinges, and they are perfectly...

I have a dremmel non drip gun, which drips constantly and is complete rubbish imho. The glue sticks seem to be mostly universal.

Given the blog is about five steps ahead, doubt it's the weather.

You dont need to remove the riving knife to use this. And i agree you shouldn't. I have one and find it great for many things. More widely and distributed pressure than a stick, can do thin pieces, easier for long pieces where pushing at back forces front up etc... There do seem to be...

Qr codes are great cos you can put a lot of information in one, such as a long link, or business card. Ones i use the most are in papers where you can scan to see a video about what you are reading, great for news. Also special offers in magazines etc. Also see scan to save a property on right...
