Can anyone recommend a good book on building an electric guitar. Stew

Got a couple of vouchers from Festool today, both for £50 off, one for dust extractor (excluding the CTL-SYS dust extractor) and the other for any of the 18v tool range but also excluding some tools. If anyone can use them let me know and I'll pop them in the post. Stew

I'm putting up a pagoda and doing some fence repairs, I seem to be going through a lot of screwdriver bits, tbh the ones I have are just the cheap sort from Toolstation, so my question is, are wira bits worth 10 times the price, or what does anyone recommend? Cheers Stew Edit. I'm not using an...

Welcome John, don't fall into the same trap as me and spend more time on here than in the workshop. I am a hobby woodworker so unfortunately I take more from this site than I give. You can get advice on a varity of things, not just woodwork related too. Stew

For hand sanding I use one of these, http://www.axminster.co.uk/mirka-sandin ... n-ax851921 together with these, http://www.axminster.co.uk/mirka-abrane ... m-ax851873 they may seem expensive but they last forever! If you want to try card scrapers I can recommend these...

Thanks guys, slats it is. Stew

I may be making some bunk beds in the near future, would it be ok to webbing (the type used in chairs) to support both the top and bottom mattresses? Stew

I understand your problems as I too have a single garage space to not only to work in but also store any timber I have. To make good use of the space everything except my work bench and 1 work surface are on castors, I can move them around to 'create' the space I need, it's a pain but there's...

Very nice, especially using only hand tools. I like the idea of the plane marks on the underside. Thanks for showing us. Stew

When I was at school I worked at my sisters shop in the evenings in a small village, an old chap had a very old black lab, every late afternoon he came in and bought a bar of Cadburys Milk Tray (now that's going back a while) the dog loved it, he did that for well over the 5 years that I worked...

Found all the info I need, it would appear that the portion of the windscreen that is damaged would result in an MOT failure. The 'know all' in question (female on my wife's side) sometimes just likes to disagree with anything I say, seems on this occasion she is wrong. Stew

Thanks guys, Matt I'm not sure that's correct, but it may well be. NazNomad I found that on the Internet just wondered if that was still correct. Stew

I have a relative who knows lots about everything (I'm sure you know what I mean), back to the question, another relatives car has a small chip in the windscreen on the drivers side (approx 1/2" square damage) I said best get that repaired or replaced as it may fail an MOT, no said the know all...

Mine lives with the wife and I, she's 100 and quite nice as mother in laws go! Stew

Nice, I like that. Stew
