Who knows why they really gave me such a high price in the first place? Where they ripping me off knowing I was naive and keen to make an order or can a timber yard really offer a service and product that is worthy of this price in this day and age? Going from replies on here I think not! I am...

Update is that they are revising the £250 Thank you. I have paid them the full amount and it pains to me write that. I feel a fool and believe me its a lesson learnt. I took it for granted because they appeared such a reputable long-established friendly family business that it would just be a...

They have this all in stock, it's not brought in.

No, they definitely have not cut boards up, its just selected waney edge boards that have taken several hours to select. I have had to quote the distance selling regs to them which I hate threatening legal stuff with anybody but they were resisting so much I ended up speaking to the big boss in...

Ive got this book about workbenches and they used ash so I just got it in my head that I was always using ash for my workbench. Is that a softwood?

I'm trying to cancel this order but getting a lot of resistance which I understand, they haven't done anything wrong at the end of the day I was naive not to shop around. I am being advised they have done several hours of work, therefore will accept the cancellation and refund less £250...

I am waiting on another quote now. I did a few internet ones over the weekend. I think Timbersource and iwood and coming out much cheaper but I was not sure if I was getting a like for like quote. Yes the merchant I went to was chosen from that list and the second company is too. This forum has...

Hi, No I plan to do the planing in house, I've requested sawn boards. They asked for my cutlist so they can select boards that will be suitable to be milled by me to my requirements. The two long boards are probably that need a little extra selecting.

Hi Fitzroy, Yea I think I've been had or just gone to the UK's most expensive timber merchants. Ive had a quote of £1400 inc delivery & vat! The top is laminated MDF with valchromat on the surface and they dont do sheet timber.

Hi, I'm new to woodwork and upon embarking on my first proper project of a large workbench I have ordered a load of European Ash buying wondering If I have been slightly ripped off. I gave them my cut list (below). What would you expect to pay for this quantity of sawn KD European ash? Item...

Dear Jim, It is lovely to hear that the plane is coming from a well-loved home. I can assure you it is coming to another well-loved home. I am 38 and just starting out in woodwork on a hobby basis. It will be well-loved, I am very excited to receive it actually, it will be my first LN tool. I...

Cheers Jim, I have my eyes on the Stanley No 6 too! No, it's fine, it will come when it comes, there is no rush for me to receive it. It's lovely to hear the money going to a good cause, its very kind of you to do be donating the sale proceeds. Kind regards, Kev

I won the LN plane :)

I used this liquid PTFE in the end from BES. It was blue, I only did this evening so will fire up the compressor tomororw and see if it does the trick.

Hi bought my first air compressor. The threaded couplings leak ever so slightly. Can I use PTFE or loctite or something on the threads or is it just something to put up with?

Thank you, I will look them up. In my day job I'm either stuck in a car or in front of a computer screen so have lots of time to fill and what better way than learning about woodworking!

Can any fellow members recommend any woodworking or related podcasts?

I wish the adverts were targeted. I get some silly app game thing or some online casino both of which I couldn't be further from entertaining. At least with Facebook you get the targeted ads and they can be really useful.
