Update, this looks like it could be awesome. The Roubo is a work of art, I would love to make one myself one day.

Thinking about that, as the LN's are just set aside. Would be nice to get one hit accuracy though.

Hello I was wondering of ways to start framing some pictures given I am without my workshop in the week living away from home. I have a TS55, and was wondering of ways to cut VERY ACCURATE mitres to use for some pciture frames. Anybody have any ideas for jigs, using the Festool or otherwise...

isn't it dried to melt the coating, is it that process that is the issue? Shame as sure it would be a good process, plenty of metal work is powder coated and know it is very hard wearing. Back to Morrells maybe?

I love this forum, full of friendly people and honest opinions, and without wanting to cause upset, that bedroom is the mother of all bad bedrooms in terms of look. Is great you are making money from it, but in terms of taste that is awful, utterly awful. Great to see WIP stuff though. Regards, G

Nice, different but nice. Looks expensive, what did you do main carcasses from?

It is good, though plance socks help if have an anti rust and thinking about location too. What also can help is rustins machine wax, worth looking at though not cheap but sticks on.

Great build!! Having done my own then I found it easier to paint the sheet stock before I made it all up, then ws very careful not to damage. That Diamond Eggshell is not cheap but works well.

Hello, I used the Kreg kit for face frames in my kitchen and worked very well. I did find that unless clamped up very well and tight you can get a bit of movement as you do up the screws, so I used a couple of blocks to cover the whole joint area and a quick clamp and worked well. I don't...

Plane gives such a nice finish compared to a ROS if get it right. ROS just grinds whereas a nice plane that's well set up and razor sharp cuts nicely and doesn't clog the pores of the wood with fine dust.

That looks very good indeed. How was it to work? Love to see some more pics on here too.

Hello I need some new carpet for hall stairs and front room. Love a light colour but I have an open fire and the front door comes straight of the street pretty much, so any ideas on what would be best to stay light and clean up okay if gets dirty. Cheers in advance G

I am sure there is some risk that a little bit of heat to a workshop that is not properly insulated could be more of a risk than none at all. My workshop has no heating, and is left sometimes without being used for a little while. It is dry, fully tiled and with a single skin brick walls and...

Hello, try morrells, google and should come up. Do good quality products that you can get via post if not close to distributor. Otherwise you could try the new dulux low VOC water based paint and spray, I haven't tried yet but most paint will thin and spray if you get right mix and use a...

Don't forget the dust extraction, and adaptors to fit your system etc. Then all you need is some PTFE spray to put down the tracks and it glides down. I use a veritas brass scribe to set for parallel cuts and this works great as long as there is no issues with the blade not running against the...

Nice one Mike, look forward to reading it. Best of luck too.

Hello, I am coming to the end of a kitchen build, (posts and pics to come too) and am looking at glueing the ends on the laminate. Any idea on what the best glue to use is?| I have some Evo Stick Solvent contact adhesive, but want to make sure I do this only once. Given I have a huge trend...

That's awesome, I wish I had seen before I started on my kitchen, Doh!!!

Hello I have a dulux weathershield painted door that I want to turn to a farrow and ball gloss colour I have. I wonder can I just key and paint over, as was very well layered in first place, or do I need to key, re-prime and then gloss with the new paint. Cheers in advance. G

I have a DX5000 and on both motors it makes alot of noise. It will also collect a fair bit so for what you build you need to make sure you can change the bags easily and not risk dropping it all over the place. I put mine on the wall up highish and stays out the way pretty much.
