Hello All, Looking for some wood turning tuition near Didcot/Abingdon - I've seen there is a local club which I intend to join but though I'd put a note on here as well. I've never turned at all, but have an old lathe here and want to start turning some bits. Was looking at courses, but they...

Hi All, I have a full wall I want covered in bookshelves - I'd like the look to be as a traditional build in library style set of shelves in a traditional wood finish. Now I would usually just make something, but I am really short on time this year. I don't mind doing some scribing and cutting...

I disagree with those on here telling you to forget squareness... fair enough if you're extremely experienced, but at this point in your learning any problems will simply be magnified in your build as you go down the line. You must get this right. ...but I think what you are doing is all part...

I like to hang from my ceiling doing chin ups and stuff like that. Awful habit I know. Ive done this successfully for years with stainless eyelet screw bolts. We have a new house in the countryside where the beams are much slimmer... but anyway... my question is... Is there any way of...

The only bad thing about the dewalt 7485 is that the table does seem to sag over the years. Mine is certainly not flat any more.

I suppose it depends if like many other things with car insurance and other modern nonsense, there is an administration fee of sorts to make changes to the policy. It's all very well telling your insurer that you've fitted roof bars to go on holiday, but if they charge you £30 a pop to do so...

Super thanks so much to you both.

@Derek Cohen (Perth Oz) your workshop is cleaner than my house.

Hello all, Did a few courses with DC back in the day, and was wracking my mind earlier. Did he use some kind of special rounded Japanese hammer to strike wooden handled chisels with? I can't remember why it came to mind, but putting together a new travelling tool kit and thought I'd get myself...

Fairness must come into all areas of policy. I'm not sure the point you are trying to make @Jacob.

The problem like many others things in modern Britain is that there is now so much legislation and red tape around renting houses, that the costs have become prohibitive for tenants and landlords alike. Much of it is well intentioned, but the result of endless "something must be done" hysteria...

do you have any plans you would be willing to share for this?

Hey, Looking for a Veritas low angle jack plane. Anyone have one they’d like to pass on? Thanks Joe

What are the lights? Are they traditional fluro tubes or some kind of LED tube. They look rather good and bright.

I've just moved house and have tonnes and tonnes of work to do. Built in cabinets etc etc. Also have a much larger workshop. I'm looking at a planer thicknesser and at the moment it seems like the Axminster AW2260S has good reviews and a spiral head. It's 1500 quid or so... But I also am...

What do we think of the chuck which is currently on the lathe? It doesn't look complete to me. Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent chuck?

Just moved into a new house where I have access to a big workshop that my wife's grandfather used for many years. Various people have used the tools over the years, but there is a lathe which still runs in the corner along with his chisels etc. I've never done any turning at all and have no...

Good reminder and lesson to all of us - good on you for sharing
