Look forward to see more of this...

I've found GW's pretty helpful over the years, apart from the fact they keep their nicest woods in a shop that's hopelessly wet sometimes. What are you using the MDF for? Cheap isn't always best, and the green stuff machines so much better. If you do try Meyers let me know how you get on...

Base, Bitumen paint is pretty good, creosote would be good too. From the way I imagine your set up, if it just rests on the flags then if you put a membrane down over the flags, the timber could risk in sitting in puddles created by the membrane rather than draining slowly through the pourous...

How big is the area that you are looking to do? The best way is to have the gap, so nothing can bridge it. It is a very specialised thing to do, as it relies on 100% accuracy, if you mess one joint up then of course it means you still have a damp smelling room. I would first err on the side of...

Awesome blades, there's a place in Eastleigh in Hampshire that may sell them, think called Saw Tec.

Looking forward to see more of this. Though it may save a bit of time, could you not have a word with a friendly local wood company to see if they could flatten your bench through a machine in one pass for you? Though a nice big LN jointer would help, or....the router method that was touted on...

Where are you spraying it? Making sure you don't have a risk of everything going bang then I would call Rustins for some advice, and see what they want. Remember too that Rustins can be burnished and goes on very very well by roller/pad, so depending on the job don't risk making more work for...

Dr Bob Great piece of work you've shared there. Of course it's what a customer has chosen, and granted we all have different tastes, which is what makes life more interesting. Can you share with us some of the technical aspects behind this? The beauty of this forum is learning something and...

Inspired by a wooden monkey, i did........ One lot of DPM One lot of 50mm XtraTherm board One lot of 22mm P5 moisture resistant board Now I have one toasty workshop. I already had a sound yet very old concrete base, that luckily was lower than door entry height. If you insulate BELOW the the...

@ Lee That sounded like only a small fire risk..................... Glad it worked though.

few words of advice: - Try to get the right kind of screw for the material you are using, KREG do all kinds - Use extraction, as it makes the drill bits last longer and you get a cleaner run - Clamping is key, they must be solidly clamped - When the two work pieces pull up, due to the angle...

Interesting post. And, thanks to you, I shall be off for find a sheet of 25mm kingspan, genius idea!!! Thanks, look forward to see the rest.

What finish are you aiming for? Painted, many would say Douglas Fir if that's the case.

Hi all Having used y sall workshop for around 7 years, never with any damp issue at all, it seems all this rain of late is finally causing me an issue. Construction is: - Single skin brick - Proper uninsulated tile roof - Very old concrete floor, yet seem not to let water through Issue is...

Tried the Siemens room control from B&Q, got one on mine, works a treat.

Good save!! Did you buy the veneers or make them? Any good places people know and trust for veneers? I am awaiting an update do your curved kitchen piece too!!!!

There's soem monster kit coming on here from you........ Need a bigger workshop.

Hello Alan Look forward to see what this turns into. Is your cross cut saw set up all right? There's some real burn on the ends of those.

Martin your producivity is on fire!!

Hello, Having had a neglected workshop for the last few years, I have gone about trying to make it spot on again. One issue is that water has rotted the bottom on one of the panel doors. Given I am am a little time poor and the winter is coming I have cut the bottom off the door and treated...
