Hi all, Its been a very long time since I was last around on these forums, but I remember everyone being quite helpful. Today, I'm in need of someone or recommendations for someone that can assist me with timber framed building calculations. I'm after a range of bespoke maximum unsupported...

Hi all, I haven't been around on here for so long I feel like a stranger to the forum! Anyone who remembers me will know I was moving house and stuff. That was August 2014. Lot's of work to get the house looking nice and STILL I have no workshop on the back garden. Maybe 2016 is the year?! Or...

As some of you may have noticed it's all gone a bit quiet over here, even on the pyrography side of things! That's because I've actually been moving into the new build house - workshop coming in the spring hopefully! :mrgreen: I have actually managed to fit a proper job inbetween working and...

Hi all, I'm reposting this job vacancy on here on behalf of the company I am working for, as they seem to be struggling to find someone with the relevant experience required. (Hope this is okay with regard to forum rules?)...

Hi all, As someone of you may know I don't post on here very often anymore and that's because mainly I don't have any workspace at home, hence the reason I only do a bit of pyrography these days. However, all is about to change soon.... 2014 is becoming a very busy year for me! Getting married...

Hi all, Just completed my first pyrography commission for another carpenter I work with who did the wood preparation for me. Personally I wouldn't burn oak again as it grain is too close to get perfectly smooth lines, but using a "stippling" effect I managed to get good results. The sign is...

I am unsure if this forum is the right place for this kind of stuff so, please inform me on your opinion by voting and commenting so I know wether or not to continue posting this stuff on this forum. This design was created using the computer and then transferred using tracing paper and mirror...

Here's two beech wooden spoons I have decorated with pyrography. The flower design took about an hour to burn and the simple point & dots design took a little bit less.

My next pyrography project follows my teaching book, as the first project after learning techniques is a door number plaque. This seemed a perfect project to replicate as my parents house still has the same computer print out on card in the window that I did for them over 13 years ago! So after...

I'm not that surprised, when you consider it could be a decent workshop for woodworking or many other skills such as mechanics.... http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/shed-sold-for-38-000--130215590.html

Hi guys, Just thought I'd share an item I have made for someone using reclaimed oak from old furniture. The person it has been made for is into the medieval times re-enactments scene, and is going to have this as a piece of furniture in there home.... my guess is in the hallway or something...

My woodwork at home has become a little hard to do with not having a dedicated workshop space. So I have decided to take an interest in pyrography, some call it writing with fire! I can so far call it... burning myself twice and drawing some nice patterns! Today, has been my first day of having...

Hi everyone, With my birthday coming up soon and nobody knowing what to buy me, I've came up with the idea of a pyrography kit. It's something I've glanced at and think I'd like to try. But not knowing what a decent iron should have or do and many different prices from shops and eBay..... I'm...

Hi guys, I've just completed a large room with two chimmney breasts, 4 alcoves, 2 doors and an angled bay window. In total it was roughly 25m sq. It took roughly 16-17 hours. What do those who lay laminate flooring down for a living / some jobs think it would take them to complete a room like that?

Here is my freestanding bird table I've produced for my contribution to a local charity. It's going to be one of many raffle prizes given away next month & we hope to raise alot of money! The table, sides and roof are made from ply, jointed with dowels, nails and glue. The sun on the roof does...

Hi all, I'm looking at buying an electric nail gun for at home. I am wondering how they compare to the air compressor powered ones? I am only after one that will fire brads upto 35mm. I like the look of the tacwise ones available. Does anyone have any advice, opinions or experience that will...

Nothing special here, by any means at all! Only posting it up as never done it before and was just shocked by the amount of nails I used! :D I've had to make a trellis fence panel to replace a broken one that just slots into concrete fencing posts. So, I ran thru the saw some 6' & 3' lengths...

Hi everyone, The whole of the company I work for has just shut down (apart from the sales team & management) for two weeks, so we're taking it as some of our paid holiday.... with the promise of work for March & April. I can only hope the ball starts rolling again and orders pile up again...

Was just wondering if anyone could recommend a TV channel that regulary shows woodworking? Doesn't have to be a Uk channel. Thanks :mrgreen:

Hi guys and girls! After the last two successful fantasy football leagues, I've setup one for the new premier league season! So I'd love to see all those who took part before sign up and hopefully a few more newcomers would be great too! Once again it's completley free and there's loads of...
