Who has sawhorses with a sawing V cut in one end? A friend of mine witnessed a horrendous incident with one such sawhorse. Somehow a wood chisel had got jammed in the hole bored at the V point. Blade uppermost. Say no more. John

Maybe twenty-years ago, I was using my mitre-trimming guillotine and somehow I managed to touch the back of the blade with my left hand, second finger. The back of the blade is just cold, but instinctively I pulled my hand away quite sharply; and my finger went straight into the cutting edge...

Hi folks. I just ordered some vertical blinds for my lounge and kitchen. The rep came to measure up yesterday, and we discovered that one window reveal in the single story extension, needs new plasterboard fitted along the top of the reveal. The extension had already been built when I...

Hi Bob Thank you. The legs I've had here for some time and I recall they were about twenty-five notes! The Parana pine is old sill board that I used for shelving in my PC 'parlour', way back when Parana pine wasn't so rare as it is now! I have quite a pile of it in the rafters of my shop. Must...

As long as the tiers don't water down the beer!

Yes Geoff! John

Yes. It was painless too. John

Hi Cabinetman Could you not get a slimmer slot cutter for your router? I had no probs before I bought a BJ. John

I've had my Panasonic for 12 years. It's not a 'Smartie' but has never given me any problems. It's wall mounted and it serves me for now. I don't watch any live TV and confine myself to Amazon Prime via a Firestick and of course my own DVDs. Suits me. Cancelled my licence with the Beeb. John

English Oak. My favourite timber. I have just one board at the moment a 12' x 12" x 1.5". It is a centre board and it's beautifully figured. I got it from Venables in Stafford itself so it's knocking on a bit. Time I made a side table for myself.

Had to remind myself of what a Harvester Table looked like!!! I have made a number of similar tables in my youth for colleagues, who wanted kitchen tables. I enjoy making them; complete with benches, but my own kitchen is just not big enough to have one myself! Ain't that the way? 😁 John

Bill, I do have that set of turned legs that have been hanging about for some time. They'd make a nice coffee table, so maybe that would be a good start. John

Thanks James. No problem for me; I have a photographic memory for things I want to remember! Quite selective in fact! 😁 John

I am sorry I haven't been back to my topic. I have just realised that watching a topic is not automatic now. I need to get used to electing to watch my posts or I will just wonder why no replies are forthcoming! Duhhhh! 🙄 Thanks for all the replies folks. A notice board would be a good idea...

You're doing well. It was about 3 years before stuff started getting underfoot here. Now after 50 years I have just decided I need to clear up so Number One Son will have have an easier job sorting things out come the day. Also of course there will be room for me to work in the meantime. Here's...

Oh Gawd! Thanks for the reminder Concizat. Christmas is here again. Better order my beef fillet! John
