For a lot of good information on doing these task, rather than look for info on skirting boards look for baseboard which is the american term and they do seem to do a lot more fancy trim work than we do. The problem now is finding good videos that can be watched without the distracting and...

What difference will this make, tools will always be stolen if there are no deterents and the police are often not interested as it is insignificant when it comes to allocating resources. Boot fairs are probably not that huge for selling stolen powertools, fake goods are going to be more...

Yes another aspect of big brother marketing, shove what you want to shift in peoples faces with a little discount and watch it sell. Often best to walk past and find the item on the shelf in it's normal place unless you wish to consume that day otherwise you are not only buying that item...

Is this not just how things have become, Youtube is drowning in adverts that have a really big impact when viewing content, Tv has regular begging adverts for everything from donkeys to drought, then the gambling adverts that are really just asking you to give your money away with almost...

It is like meccano except you cut to length and connect using the connectors provided. If you want to see a really well designed bench then look for Hooked on wood and that is made by laminating plywood.

That is the right approach, if you feel that you get good info and help from the UKW then become a supporting member but it is not mandatory, this is your call and is not worth getting wound up about. The thing to remember is that it is the members who make for a good forum, those willing...

These were the days when boys became men overnight, they just did their duty for king and country without complaint. Can you imagine youngsters of today at 17 or 18 storming the beaches of Normandy or jumping into a fighter to stop our towns and cities from being destroyed knowing that their...

Unfortunately there is no ideal, right or wrong and it will not only depend upon your workflow but also it will change over time as you buy new machines or need to do different task. Castors are good but look at the many threads on these forums and see how others have done theres, the things...

Another option is walling without the mortar, just stack . https://www.tobermore.co.uk/homeowner/applications/walling/

Was there not some saying that says out of chaos comes creativity .

You could always go Roman with a xylospongium. This translates to a sponge on a stick so really basic.

I think the secret is to have interest that are totally opposite, when you hit a wall with one just switch and do the other. For me I write software and enjoy woodworking as it is opposite, literally as one needs only grey mater whilst the other needs hands on as well. For something...

It does look well made but then a lot of the American stuff is, $349 or £ 303 https://www.dashboardpws.com/shop/guide-rail-bracket-bundle The benchdogs version is £189 but has there hinge system changed since the original shown in @petermillard s video It appears to now be stainless...

Yes can we have some pictures of this machine please as per the forum rules and it will help it sell.

Exactly, one of the reasons that a lot of underperformers in the education system come from the poorer backgrounds is because these gizmo's are used to just keep the kids occupied whilst the parents do what they want. Ok letting kids have the freedom we enjoyed is now not such a good thing...

For me the legs are to skinny in comparison to the rails, also with a shoe rack the shelves are often angled downwards at the front. To get ideas take a look at furniture in secondhand places to see how it is assembled, often good simple ideas that you can take forward to your own projects.

That is my thoughts, I would rather give them to someone who maybe could not afford them but would really appreciate them than someone who is just looking to sell on for a profit.

I only watched 1/2 hour but the skilled part was building the robotic cutter, from then on it is box assembly which going by his facial expression is somewhat boring and like that of many line workers. Just screwing into MDF and no glue which I assume is for time saving you would have thought...
