Hi, I have a wooden garage, 42mm T&G walls, but unfortunately I built it on an existing slab. The slab, it appears was not laid well and I think its letting damp through. The floor was painted in, some kind of floor paint, which is now lifting. I have used a damp meter(?) and I am getting high...

Hi all, thanks for all the ideas, not one of which I had thought of, so plenty of ideas to look at. Many thanks colin

Hi, I am building a wooden Gazebo(from a kit). The roof is made up from Tongue and groove cladding (sitting on joists), a membrane, and Bitumen shingles. My wife has decided that it would be a nice idea to cut out the roof between 2 sets of joist, leaving a few tongue and groove cladding top and...

I have a large wooden garage, 42mm thick twin tongue and groove walls, with 2 double glazed windows, 1 passenger door with double glazed window and a large 2 door access at the front. The roof is 22mm tongue and groove, painted with black jack and then felted. During the summer months this...

I am a very casual DIY er, who likes making "stuff" out of wood. My workshop has a table saw, chop saw, table router band saw and a bench sander. as well the usual portable power tools. I bought a Henry to help with dust extraction, but it doesn't really keep up. All the workshop and every...

Oh My, that sounds painfull.

Hello All, Thank you so much for all the replies/advise and sorry I haven't responded sooner. As far as I know I was using the router as per comments above, unless I have totally lost the plot. I was only taking a skim cut, cutting edge against the guide, and didn't seem to make a difference as...

Hello, I have recently bought a Clarkes router table. I was using it to route an edge on to a length of hard wood, bit of an old work surface, oak. Thing is, despite me feeding the work in from right to left, as indicated on the table, the bit snatched and dragged the work out of the table and...

We had a "discussion" about V grooves on the seat and top, I lost. As for the back, I did a one stop shop, and wasn't too sure about quantities. So played safe. Turns out I used all I bought.

Wifey decided she wanted a hall stand so looked on line and found a few, all quite expensive and non that were really right . So I said I could make one. Never, ever done anything like this before, but had to justify a large garage and "toys" ( tools to me and you). Started off looking at...

Thank you, that's useful. I was looking at the 3M, but didn't realize that there were different filters. What filter would i want?

Can any one recommend a mask for casual/hobby use for wood working please. Lots out there, varying in price and they all say they are the best! Many Thanks Colin

I have a wooden workshop where I create a lot of sawdust. At the moment I am trying to heat it with a electric oil filled radiator. Not a lot of warmth in there. So, can any one advise if gas (propane ect) is safe with saw dust flying around. Many Thanks Colin

Thanks for the assistance. I decided to go for the Metabo and so far I'm happy. It seems to be easy to set up, if some what fiddley. The instructions contradict the assembly as they say certain guards ned to be in place but if they are you cant put the table on!! unless I am having an extreme...

There is You tube for the more hardcore "woodworker". As you say, this series is for a wide audience, many of whom wouldn't know fine workmanship if it stood up and bit them on the bum. I hasten to add that Im not sure that I could have done any better than any of them, I did see the fatal flaw...

Hi all, Spent the last hour searching the web for woodworking plans/drawings. Lots of pinteresr sites, all ready to buy furniture. Not what i want. I specifically looking for monks bench/ hall storage. I just really want ideas on the sides, as I just dont want a rectangle, would like some kind...

Thank you, tha Thank you, that's very helpful. A couple of reviews said very much the same about the Einhall, BUT, several reviews said it was the best thing since sliced bread! Just got to love site reviews.

That looks good, and has roller bearings, top and bottom, which I believe help a lot with accuracy. Thank you.

Hello all. I wish to buy a bench top band saw for medium sized projects. I have in mind the Einhell TC-SB200/1 200mm (8") 250W Bandsaw - Machine Mart - Machine Mart or the Axminster Craft AC1400B Bandsaw. To my untrained eye they seem be very close in quality, functions ect, but, there is a...
