Evening folks, im in the process of setting up my small workshop and desperately need an inexpensive saw dust collector/workshop vac. I've seen the Sip one in toolstation for £87 and would like to know if it's worth the money. I will also be cutting MDF.

Hi guys, I've been making a few MDF radiator covers and would like to know a little more about spraying them. I have several guns for Car paint and wondered if I could adapt one of them to use. I only really need to prime them up for the customer :-) I popped into my local Brewers today but...

Hi guys, I got hold of an old Burgess the other week and would like to get a blade for it tomorrow, I see Toolstation do them but I can't seem to find a 57.5" blade on their site. Can anyone tell me if I can use a slightly different size or does it have to be 57.5. As you can see I'm no...

Hi folks, I went to a garage sale this morning in Northfleet Kent, the lady has quite a few items that might be of interest to someone here. I know nothing about lathes and associated tools so I've posted these two lathes in the hope that someone knows more about them and can give her some...

Hi folks, I've never used a lathe before so could use a little advice for my first purchase. I'm hoping to make jewelry, rings to be specific and also have a go at other small items possibly bowls at some point. I've seen a Clarke mini lathe in machine mart and wondered what you guys thought...

Hi guys, I've had the table for a few years now and not used it. So I'm looking to get a saw and router to mount permanently in the setup. Sadly I missed a recent auction for a pair so now I'm looking to purchase them separately. I'd like to know what model saw and router I need for the table...

Hi folks, after many years of waiting I'm finally going to build a shed/workshop. It will hopefully be used for a little venture I'm starting up making items from MDF. I'll be using a Triton 2000 work centre and also a chop saw and router, so I know I'm going to need some kind of extraction...

Anyone used one of these, are they any good? I have brought a few Einhell products recently and been quite happy with them so I thought I'd ask about the BJ. Cheers

Hi everyone, I've been wanting to make a wooden case for one or two of my guns for years. I've seen some beautiful examples on the web over the years but never seen one in front of me to study. I've been buying a few bits of Walnut Veneer and would love to have a go at making the case and...

Hi all, I was thinking about treating myself to a sander and wondered what the latest must have tool is. I'm hoping not to spend a fortune though. Under £100 if possible but I'm open to extreme persuasion :lol:

Evening all, I've just read a thread on an Airgun forum that I use. A chap want's to make or get someone to make a casket for his fathers ashes and make it with Everton FC in mind. I was thinking someone might like to help this bloke out, I guess a nice casket with the Everton sheild carved or...

I'm thinking of building a car port and I'd like a little advice. We have a block of garages and mine is second from the end, I'd like to have two wood beams coming off the front of the garages (mine and next doors) then running all the way back to the end of the drive where it will meet two...

Hi everyone, I have to thank those that produce the shows as they certainly have got my interest at the moment. I've been stuck in my garage for weeks making "things". Anyhow I've noticed that the shows I was watching seem to have stopped on skys discovery shed. The Great British Woodshop and...

Hi, has anyone ever made a shotgun case? I've been wanting to make one for years, if anyone has a design or two for me to look at I'd apreciate it. I guess it's a matter of making two shallow boxes and hinging them together, then fitting foam. I'm stuggling with finger joints and don't have a...

Having spent the last two lunch breaks sat in Ruskin park in south London on me own I've had time to think. Surrounded by huge trees I started trying to think about what they all were. Having been a cub and a scout I was probably taught all of this stuff many moons ago but I'm ashamed to say...
