Thank you very much Paul, for the very concise and full answers. Shame about the Oak as I have plenty and no Beech but I guessed that might be the case. Thanks again.

I hope so, because I have some. :lol: Thanks.

Hi all and happy new year, I have a couple of questions about steak boards like these http://www.arthurwalton.co.uk/catering- ... rds/sb2400 a) should these be end grain up as with butchers boards or is it fine 'long grain'? b) would Oak be a suitable subitute for Beech and c) what oil would be...

I've just done that very thing with rare earth magnets on small cabinets and they work a treat. Strong enough to pull the door shut as themagnets get close, but not too strong to open them with ease. Bought them on eBay and there's a varity of sizes.

Not exactly a hobbyist then Doc?

Hi everyone, Thanks for your replies. I feel a bit stupid now...should've been the first place I looked as I've seen Matthew's utube offerings!! You're right Alf (as usual) couldn't be much easier to choose. And you're right Lanemaux, I should've gone to the handtools section. I'll the hang of...

Or perhaps a crossCUP saw :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi All, About a year ago I bought 2 old but nice looking saws (1 tenon, 1 dovetail). Unfortunately I've hardly used them because they need sharpening. I've seen this done and bought myself a saw set but when I tried to file the saw teeth with my dull, cheap file very little happened #-o So my...

I quite like the contrast of sap wood and have used small amounts in my work for that reason. Don't completely dismiss it. But it is more susceptible to woodworm and the like than the denser heart wood.

Hi guys, As some of you know I live in the middle of rural France. In 1999 there was a big tempest here that flattened a lot of trees, mainly Oak, Chestnut and Cherry and the locals had a lot of them planked and stored them. So they're 11 years air dried. Last year some of the locals found out I...

Most of the French never get it right, so I wouldn't worry too much about that :lol: :lol: :lol:

If my maths is right that's about £1000 per m3 and £28 ft3. Not bad if it's grade A dry oak I think. :D

Welcome to the forum Luca.

Cheers Tom, me too :D

Are any of the French contingent up for this? I wouldn't mind a trip across La Manche to meet some of the forum members and put a face to a name. There are a lot of factors for me to consider - wife's work schedule, kids holidays, French strikes etc.! - but in principle I wouldn't mind going and...

Welcome to the forum Chris. What a start, but as Alf said this is not the usual type of welcome here. Hang around, I don't think you'll regret it.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Bob - I went on the Freud site and clicked on the 'Agents' link and it seemed to get in some loop and never provided a list. If it stops raining long enough for me to get in the workshop today I intend to strip the planner and post you the offending part. Hope...

Hi, Does any know of any Freud circular saw blade suppliers other than Amazon or eBay? I've searched the net and only come up with a couple of suppliers, besides the two mentioned, but they do not stock a decent range. I'm amazed that there appears to be so few outlets doing a full or extensive...

I could spend a few happy hours in his barn if I lived close enough :lol:
