I've had three guide bearings collapse in the last couple of months, all from Wealden's and none of them used that heavily :? . Do guide bearings generally fall to bits this easily? Has anyone else had this problem? Or have I just had an unluckly run?

Mailee you're fast becoming 'Mr. MRMDF'. QUICK WORK!!!!!!!!!

Nice job Alan. You can tell it's not our house - they would've been full before you could take the photo!! (Three women living here).

Well I've done it at last!! I used Chems method in the end ( thanks for your time and trouble taken to put SU pics on for me - you should right a book 'woodworking for Dummies' - I'd buy it (homer) ). To answer your question Kalimna - once I'd found the centre of the circle I drew 2 lines...

Hi Roy, No I don't have access to a lathe with a rim chuck unfortnately. Chems, I'm really sorry but I can't follow what you're saying despite reading it over and over again! I think it's similar to Andy's first option, but I just can't follow what you're saying. Andy, I have a Stanley 71 and...

Hi Chems, Having thought about it last night I came to the same conclusion. But the main reason I went for that method was that I have no attachment for the router to make circles and because I don't understand how that can work, if there is a lump of wood in the middle of the board surely this...

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I think I'll try Hanser's answer (bet you've never heard that before :lol: ) first.

Hi, I'm trying to replace a broken cheese board for a friend. See pic. Th broken one on the right has a groove in it to house a glass dome. How can I replicate that without putting an hole in the centre of the cheese board? T.I.A. Froggy.

Are you spraying or painting by hand?

Hi Alan, looking good. What are the inner open shelf units made of?

If the viscount had been a member here and listened to the plentiful and wise advise dished out he might not be having the trouble he's having!!!

Or a router bit with replaceable blades that are missing?

Hi Andrew and welcome to the forum. If your stone is an oilstone you will need honing oil like this http://www.axminster.co.uk/liberon-libe ... rod208812/ As for the vice, I can;t help you, sorry. But I'm sure someone will be along shortly with some advice. Good luck, Froggy.

About 3 years ago I laid a parquet floor with a flexible glue (can't remember now what it was called) to a tiled floor in my kitchen. So far there has been no movement that I've noticed and none of the wood has cracked. But the parquet blocks were only small ( about 12-14 inch by 2") and quite...

Hi NH Sorry I can't answer your question, but I have a question? What do you use to stick oak flooring to concrete? By the way I laughed a lot at the 'floor/door' thread. (homer)

Hi Rob, I'm glad you did reply to your own thread because I am just about to put a PU finish on an oak garden bench I made. I have tried oil (and lots of it!!) on the bench but it just doesn't protect it from the elements. If oil is no good (which it isn't) and I can't use PU varnish what are my...

Hi Rob, I would suggest PU varnish based on this 'wood finish selector' http://www.woodbin.com/cgi-bin/woodfinish.cgi HTH Froggy.

Welcome to the forum Daymo, When ever I am thinking about buying a new tool I scan through the 'buying advice' section and usually find large debates on which tool is best. By the time I'm finished I usually know which one I'm going to. HTH Froggy.

Hi Steve,took the brushes out today. They didn't look wworn or damaged, but I gave them a rub with a bit of wet and dry and cleaned some dust from the surrounding area and tried the router again and it worked fine! So no need for the other brushes thanks. And thank you for all you help, it will...

Great news Steve, and thanks for going to the trouble you have, it's much appreciated. Froggy.
