Best man's lovely wife just produced their third so a mobile/hanging thing (to follow the two previous) was required. I cheated this time and edge detected on CAD from some interweb pictures and then lazer etched onto prepared timber. I have traced with carbon paper in the past but I was...

My apologies, Gimp Pins it is - and still available if anyone needs stupidly long pins for anything

Definitely closer to the wood roller and cap something in that line for nail in and then cap off I think- not solder pins, much too big and wrong material. Many thanks everyone for your replies - onto the second bit....anyone want them?

Def. not pop rivets, (despite appearances) all in 1 piece, Thats about the best image i could get. macro lens and then cropped, will try harder

I have a heap of these to go to a new home ~ 6 gallons These are very long pins 33mm and ca1mm diameter with flat round-head Galv finish The interweb seems to think they should only ever be 1/2" long but these are sewn into hessian sacks with the makers info on there. These are from Whitfield...

I have about a Gallon of these funny little nails They are made of metal only a little harder than jelly and the head bit is not frangible Looking to give them away if they are of use to anyone but that's tricky without knowing what they are. any ideas gratefully received

2 blades, not much used, £2.70 for delivery with Evri

That's brilliant thanks, I was looking at American food dyes but I guess none of those would be too fast even if they are lurid when applied. Will have a stroll round the village green and see how I get on.

Does anyone have advice on colourful wood dyes. Seems to be a chestnut / tiger competition I have finished some of the primary ones that I used to get from the sadly ended "Woodworks Craft Supplies" Not for children's toys but for training aids in wood to colour code all the different parts...

THE PREMISE I want to buy a disc of aluminium to make a router sub-base but the minimum order is too much for me so I am looking for others to spread the cost. THE BACK STORY (NOT IMPORTANT) I have recently bought the UJK router lift and am much in love with it however …... My trend T9Es...

The back of the NVR generally has 4 contacts, 2 positive and 2 negative - if you can identify them (it usually says it on the NVR) then you can link them through and put your NVR / remote somewhere else. small contact is the auxilliary (for an indicator) Safety issue is that you might be able...

Thank-you; I did fear that that might be the case - as I could not see anyone else having done similar-it did seem likely. I am not completely put off though - there must be a cunning solution - I just need to find it. When I did the hand work, I did it atop a partially open vise so I can...

I have a design idea which i would like some assistance with if you fine peoples would be kind enough. I want to take a plain-ish turned wooden bangle and then scroll-saw out some shapes from it. I have a much-beloved Axi SFS scroll saw which will scroll happily through a churchill tank but is...

I think a lie down in a darkened room, and getting on with all the other chores I've been ignoring. Thanks for the support- it's much appreciated. Woodgears.ca did faceted balls at some point so I think I'll give those a miss. An extension on the boys' play area is on the cards I think...

I did myself down to other day – I cut a piece of stud as well as drilling a couple of holes – 25% increase in productivity – how’s that? And here we go, big day today – I am breaking out the mitre bond again! – lots of typing but a couple of days over the weekend with assistance in and from...

I am so down with the Kids! – Last night I sorted out the rest of the small pieces for the project including drilling the sphere which took forever! 1 – centralise the table on the drill press (I’m not actually drilling through it!) 2- cut clearance hole in support piece (using a plunging...

I did wonder about this when I made my test piece. Being a CA glue I am hoping it will be alright. Everything is sort of braced from at least 2 directions so barring dropping it, I am hoping this will not be a factor. Time I guess will tell where we will fall on the art-firewood spectrum.

So; last night was a bit of a hiding inaccuracy kind of job. I spent a fair while sorting out the router table whereupon it gave out its magic smoke and that was the end of that. Pressed into service, the big hand router (which I thankfully have guide bars for) which was then clamped to the...

Today I move to lots of little bits of wood rather than a few big bits – very exciting – but lots of checking to do before that point. My chop saw is not the very finest so I will have to check over everything first. At least with a lazer on this one, I can make a cut and set the laser, turn...

This next phase was in equal measure pleasing in its rhythm and annoying in that when I had finished, it looked like I had done nothing. A chamfer round the front of each hole-remembering which side was the front as well! Rebates on the back of each hole (remembering to hide the tear out from...
