Thanks Joe, they look like they'd work with the smaller jobs, shame they don't go up to 2".

I'd like to make use of a lot of green wood that I have access to and these http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... k_code=as1 would be very useful, but are quite expensive. Does anyone know either a) where I could buy them cheaper or b) an alternative (and cheaper) method of making the...

Wizer I've got lots of things to sell: a bike with one peddle; a ballon only burst once, a chocolate teapot and many others, just pm me :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Sorry Smudger, just realised I put Smugger :oops:

My Daughter Beth is 9 and comes into the workshop with me a lot lately. She wants to learn woodworking but I have the same dilemma - what can she do safely (and by herself, so that I can crack on!). We decided to build a tool box together for her. I did most of the work but now she has a tool...

Yep...I'd definety rather be in Northumberland than North leeds!! Thanks for your previous imput. Some of it went over my head but I get the general idea.

Hi Dibs, Also sorry to hear about that, I know only too well what it's like after 3 burglaries, car broken into 4 times and 3 other attempts on the house..twice when someone was in!!! That's part of the reason I moved to France. Ever time we returned from holiday I was anticipating the worst...

Thank Dave, just what I wanted. :lol:

Hi Does anyone know where I can buy cotton wadding, in smallish quantities and preferably mail order please? Thanks Froggy.

Part of the reason I asked the question in the first place is that I have a spray gun that I've never used (and compressor obviously) and I've never used lacquer. I've just made a pine table (red wood). It's only a small one, more like a butchers block table and wanted to try a lacquer on it. If...

Thanks for that Sgian and Jake, Could you give me some examples of when you would use lacquer instead of varnish and vice versa please?

Hi Can someone please tell me the difference between lacquer and varnish? I'm showing my ignorance, I know, but I've done very little in the way of finishing :oops:

My apolygies - :oops:

I'd like to think you missed a '0' off the 2 there :roll:

I thought the same as you Dids - but one Saturday night in the local club whilst playing snooker someone put the live lottery results on the tele and I had the first 3 numbers and shouted at the top of my voice so that everyone could here 'S**t I've got the first 3 numbers' I would imagine...

That's great. My eyesight leaves a lot to be desired and marking from a normal ruler can be a problem sometimes. So I'd be interested to know where you could get one.

Hi Mcluma, I use chainsaws a lot and I've used a couple of these types of sharpener and personally I prefer to sharpen by hand with a file. The machines are a little bit quicker once you get used to them but there's not much in it either in terms of time or sharpness of chain. If you can...

Hi Alf, When I got my first £5 plane I was happy with it until I tried a Stanley plane and then I was delighted with Stanley plane......until I tried a friends LN plane etc. I've only ever sharpened with SS system so I wanted to try others to compare them. But I have realised from this exercise...
