Oh WOW I got one like that just this morning! What would you like me to do? Thankfully I didn't respond. It was very clever because it referenced a post I put up in the wanted section

Hi, Thought I'd say hello and ask how your search was going for a bandsaw? I'm also in Wiltshire and looking to upgrade to a bigger "proper" bandsaw. I'm just a hobbyist, I make jewlery boxes and like to try and wrap the wood grain all the way round, I also do a bit of wood turning. I'm...

I missed it 😭

Hello everyone, I know this is an old thread but... A startrite 301s has just come up for sale locally for... £100!!! Now normally I'd say if it's to good to be true... etc. But for that proce could it be a fixer uper? The table is rusty and there's no blade (not really a problem as I'd get tuff...

Thanks Gary, I thought I'd try 2nd hand first as I did find it new (on classic hand tools in fact) at £43 ! Which I thought was a little pricey for what it is. It's not that I can't cut dovetails, but more that for the special project I'm doing (an urn for my father in laws ashes) I need them...

I was wondering if anyone had a David Barron dovetail saw guide they would be prepared to sell me? Thanks K

WOW teak is harder to find than I thought! Anyone know a supplier I need a 12mm thick board, about 18cm wide and a minimum length of 1.30 meters long

Hi, Was wondering if anyone had a Katz Moses dovetail marking/sawing guide I could buy? Of if you know anywhere I can get one in the UK? Thanks K

Oh thank you, that's very kind in deed. However Oak is a preferred material of mine and I do have some. Additionally I'm currently thinking I may need a relatively thick board as I'd like to rip it down the middle to achieve the full wrap around grain effect.

THANK YOU!! Jeez sometimes the universe does freak me out a bit. Sat here chatting with my better half about her dad since my post and BOTH teak AND dovetails were mentioned! Yes I think teak could work. I'm just a little nervous about dovetails. It's not only the fact they are a little...

Hi, Sadly my father in law passed away last week, and my mother in law has asked if I would make an urn for his ashes. This is not only a great honour but also quite a scary responsibility. I'd like to do the man and our family justice by producing the best item I can. He was not only a lovely...

Me too Yes please

Oooh yes please! Will PM

Hello peeps, made this awhile ago but forgot to post. Thought I'd do a snack bowl for the football euros final... Never done a twice turned bowl (this was originally a chunk of a tree I picked up from some guy by the side of the road who was chopping up a tree for fire wood that fell down a...

Hi is it my imagination or are Axi off loading some wood screws on the cheap? No idea if they're any good, but for that price I'm having some especially as I think its now free delivery with no minimum spend. https://www.axminstertools.com/sale?a_drive_type=51522&all=true&cat=1969&stock=1 K

Hi, £10 to NSPCC if you're happy to post them to Salisbury? Will PM my address.

Hi, So sorry to hear of your loss. I'm not far from b'mouth and would be happy to take any actual timber. I'm not a restorer and don't really use mouldings, but anything I can turn on a lathe or use for box making etc I would be able to use. I've never really used veneers but would love to...

Hello peeps, Been suffering with covid 😢 and bored outta my tiny mind. So I thought I'd share my biggest turning project to date... So, as I said I'm bored and apologise in advance for the war and peace below. To pull things together on the forum. I posted a question about mitre saws (best one...

Oh poop, missed out again ☹️ If things don't work out can I please have second dibs?
