Have to agree with what others have said the pins are not really difficult to do but getting the hinge in the correct place makes a big difference. On the version I made earlier this year got the hinge to far forward so when the lid is opened it goes to far back, but otherwise really enjoyed...

OK this is to get everyones thinking caps on, looking for good/unusual ideas to use up a selection of offcuts I have. Most of the wood is either ash, oak or sapele and nothing bigger than 1x3 inch boards or up to 2inch square. Thinking along the lines of xmas presents for friends and family etc.

Still quite new to all this woodwork but enjoying every minute. Purchased a secondhand #4.5 plane off the bay a few weeks ago but cannot get it working correctly. Can someone give me a few pointers as to the correct way to set a plane up.

Anyone out there able to help a new wood worker, have just finished my first project an oak box based on a Peter Lloyd design and now need to make some internal trays. As I don't yet have access to bandsaw or table saw I wonder if anyone would be able to cut some wood down to 60mm wide by 6mm...

Yes I see why a plate now,thanks. Do you think the size of the top is big enough given the intended use?

I plan to build a small router table to assist in the making of jewelry boxes and similar small items. I am thinking of making the top out of a piece of 40mm kitchen worktop which is 600m deep and will probably go for 600mm wide. Is the use of a table insert essential as I really need to keep...

Thanks for that Dick, so do you mind me asking where you use?

Hello there I am fairly new to woodwork and have untill recently been working on knife handles which I very much enjoy but now want to have a go at a few larger projects and have a box in mind to house some of my knives. My question is does anyone know of any wood suppliers in the Bedfordshire...
