Not sure about veneer, but according to a lot of the posts on here it takes paint etc a lot better than normal. The edges are always an issue but like in everything, pay for decent materials and u will get a better finish

Could you not use MR MDF? This would be stable im sure, as long as it wasnt getting wet and splashed. Shouldn't be affected by steam etc, guys?

I have a cheap Sealey planer thicknesser, bench top model. On the odd occasions i have used it without ear defenders (stupid i know but in a rush), my ears are left ringing for ages. Really loud. Louder than any other tool i have in my workshop (router, table saw, mitre saw etc)

I purchased a Premium Stanley 51/2 i think it is. Got it about 2 months ago. Im no expert but straight out of the box is was sharp, accurate, felt good. I am led to believe its a bit pot luck, sometimes you can get a bad one. I posted a small review on here with a couple of pics i think. For...

Hi I am going to Devon (Dawlish Warren) with the family in 2 weeks, for a week. Just wondering if there are any places in the area that are good for timber? I know of Yandles and may get chance to get there, but wondered if there are other hardwood suppliers? I will be in a packed car, so im...

I'm looking forward to the next video where his hand is bandaged up!

public insurance? Could get away without it, but what if someone comes on your premises to view your work and has an accident? Or what if they commision you to do a piece, you dont do it in time, or you make a mistake (it happens) and they sue you or claim damages. Can happen. If you are buying...

Sorry just re-read your post and you have a morticer Replace your morticer with dust extraction..........big enough for all your machines plus your ducting etc. You arent going to want to sweep up every night when you want to go home - £1500-£2000 Also, what about the premises themselves? If...

Assuming you are buying new, then a table saw £1200, Morticer £1000, Spindle Moulder £1000, Planer thicknesser £1200, Radial Arm £1500. Bandsaw? If you want to resaw your own timber then around £1500-2000. Bench? £1500. Domino or biscuit joiner? £300-800 So far we are up to approx £10k If you...

As a manager of a business, i always appreciate a good review or feedback when i get it. I've moaned this last week about SIP and their mistakes, but i also think praise should be given to a company when they excel. I am getting a Record Power BS350 today and want some decent blades. Called...

Hi Roger Good point. I've read so much about all these machines - theres a lot of good reviews about the Record Power one. I thought that Softwood would be my main use for ripping, and a good blade from Tuffsaws would mean this has enough capacity for me. I hope

Thanks Custard Ive just this minute ordered the Record POwer BS350. I am going to order a Tuffsaw Carbon blade - apparently they dont need as much tension - so will get a 3/4 and a smaller one for curves. Very excited. To be honest, even if SIP had come back to me with a better price, i am...

Please ignore Went to purchase it and they quoted me the wrong price - £493.65 + VAT is the real price. I reckon they quoted me their cost price!! Well done SIP - I told them that for that money i may as well get a Record Power BS350 @ £515.83 (5 year warranty) and can collect tomorrow. So...

Really nice My favourites are the top left and bottom left in that picture.

What do you do about anchoring it down if it is removeable? Do you screw plates down to the floor everytime? or remove them? Its really nice and given me a potential idea for mine

Hi All Am about decided on this saw, new, £357.30 + VAT Am going to get some good blades for it. Although it says 25mm blade capacity, do you think this might be a problem? I want to resaw some 6 -8 inch softwood occasionally - should i go for a 3/4" blade instead? Would i struggle? Want to...

Hi I still havent decided on the BS350 or 400. Have you ripped with the 400 yet? I really want to rip down 6 inch boards (probably max size) - just not sure if the BS350 will be up for it or whether i should splash out on the 400

Can someone just confirm my calculations please. I was looking at hardwood timber boards, for this example, 4.5" x 0.75", 6ft lengths. I came across reclaimed floorboards (pine) and thought they would be good for what i want. The person is charging anywhere between 42p and £1 per foot. Now...

Bump...... Anyone?

Hi My mother asked me to make a basic telephone seat out of pine but with a mahogany finish. I've made the seat/table and applied several coats of Rustin mahogany gloss. I have a nice finish. But there are several dust specs in the gloss finish. I have de-nibbed with some fine pads. Once I have...
