lidl beer is nice, and the 89p bottles are nice for 89p!

thanks. the joint is the hole in the wood on the right, and the bit on the left fits in. it is cut so the base of the wood will be used as the base of the item as well so a T shape, so will just use the glue i have (some wood glue, cant recall the name) and see how that works. probably be on...

Hi all, just a quick one, been playing in the shed to get my hand back into using hand tools and found a small phone holder that i liked the look of so tried to replicate. so i have chiselled out about 4mm for the back to fit in then will glue (need more practice on chiselling out accurately!)...

The barns?

just found one, Irwin Marples M2153 Mortice Gauge, £20.19 from Amazon, most other places over £30. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00008US76/

hi all, thought i would post this to see if anyone has seen any exceptional deals around and wishes to share them. I am not talking about £2 off a £50 item in a sale, but maybe a one off item that may not be seen by the majority, or something that you have that you have spotted and would...

i fitted a B&Q kitchen when we moved, had the original 1930 kitchen in, so nowhere for cooker, and whilst very nice not practical, so stripped back, someone plastered and was left with 2 square rooms with 2 pipes and a waste outlet. the doors still are not all straight (will get round to it...

by the time it is measured, cut/etc doubt the 1mm will make any odds to an amateur!

on popular auction site for £185, checked on here and similar lathes go for far less, but unsure if this is what would be expected. difficult to get sold prices as they vary so much and also depends a lot on how local, not much use having one sold for £100 if it is 400 miles away!

hmm, this may work as can trim to size, any idea how the bars are attached to the base and i am assuming they are solid so may be a pita to trim?

49" if anyone was wondering! too large for the room i have as was needing something less than 1 meter.

looks good, made me laugh though, you have found the same templates for the Xmas present and star tealight holders that i have used. out of interest how much did they sell for? :) I was going to try a craft fair but bit late now as only got limited stuff, but your table looks good, and plenty...

some on ebay and looking to bid but none have the size listed, and due to the available space I have I need to ensure it will fit. so if you have one, can you give sizes (so length/etc) so i can check, i have asked on the auctions but not sure if i will get a response in time!

Hi all, question on this as it is something i want to check before i start. I have a outdoor dog shed (pic at the bottom) where the tortoise resides (and the kennel bit is fully insulated, boarded and heated!) and want to put some perspex over the windows to help keep the outside area slightly...

I get templates from google images, then I use Serif PagePlus Starter Edition which is free (and it reminds you!) to get the images onto an A4 template, then print. then i put Blue painters tape on the wood, spray with the cheap aerosol adhesive, put the template on, then cut. Once done, the...

if a fuse is blowing then check that the fuse is correct, is there a 10amp in there when it should be a 13? and with it unplugged see if you can feel the resistance, take a good look around if there is anything that may get in the way, so any fittings/etc. you also say when the sled is in...

nah, made a start on some festive tealights....

Hi all, quick question. I am looking at getting a lathe in the next few months but having a read have come across the issue of working height. It will be in the outhouse/storage/workshop which isnt massive, but has bench space which will fit a lathe in. the bench height is currently 3ft high...

i got 2 plastic ones asda the other week when they were selling them off for 65p each as spares, but worth a look if you are out and about as a lot of gardening stuff is now being sold off as autumn/halloween is the next shelf filler.
