i've recently purchased a Einhell TC-TS 210, and I'm struggling with the fence. Could be my incompentence, or could be the included part is just rubbish and needs upgraded. Anyway, it just don't seem very flexible or easy to adjust, so I think I probably need to consider other options. Any...

We're halfway through renovating our small utility room, We have a sink on the left, a washing machine on the right, the worktop is at a 130degrees angle, and it will extend over the washing machine. I am going to box in the pipework, build a cabinet (in red) for under the sink, and there...

I do most of my work in the garage, and it’s fairly open, so dust is getting everywhere. I have a regular household vacuum and it works well when I bother to use it, but a lot of the time it’s just not convenient, and the regular hose is a bit fiddly because the solid plastic restricts...

I'm temped, but at £30 a time I'd probably be better getting another drill. Anyone know of anything around the £10 mark?

My current circular, a corded Enventor seems plenty powerful for my needs and should last me a while. My jigsaw, a Parkside 12V cordless seems pretty poor performance-wise, and better blades probably won't help much. Anyone disagree? I've got it mounted on a jigsaw table, so this is probably...

I'm trying to create some sort of placeholder to hold 3-4 batteries, and would like to cut accurate oval-shaped holes in fairly thick sections of wood. My current cheapo jigsaw isn't deep enough to go all the way through the wood I was using (55mm) , and I don't yet have any circular hole...

I originally thought French cleats would be a great idea, but quickly lost interest. I don't currently have a proper workbench, but ideally I'd like a workbench with storage underneath, but my tools are currently just lying in a metal shelving unit we had in the garage for cat food etc. To be...

I've interested in building a quality chess board and chopping board (for home use), and I've been watching a few videos of folk making these. A lot of them use expensive-looking wood planing machines, and these seem be work fairly flawlessly. Can I achieve passable results with handheld...

I currently have a circular saw and a jigsaw, and I want a fairly foolproof way for cutting in straight lines. I've seen various homemade guide rails that people have made for circular saws, and I've also come across these guide rails (photo attached) for £15 each. Am I right in thinking that...

Hey, Just came across the forum after a bit of searching for router advice! Anyway, originally from Scotland, but been living in France for a while. I've recently become interested in woodworking and have been looking at various DIY tasks that need done around the house. The last week has...
