*** PRICE DROP *** I offer 11 waney edge English oak planks/slabs, milled circa 2010 and air dried indoors ever since. The planks are 50mm thick except one which is 75mm thick. I have labelled the planks in the photos below from P1 on the left to P16 on the right (note that 5 planks have...

I’m moving house so have to clear my stockpiles of timber. I offer an assortment of rough sawn, square edge English oak that I purchased at a Herefordshire action circa 2009. It has been ‘in stick’ in my garage(s) ever since. Please see photos attached. The majority is 40mm thick and some at...

Dear Members, I'm restoring an old property with extra long, exposed and continuous planed square edge (PSE) pine floorboards. I intend to sand and oil the floorboards to form the finished floor surface so wish to remove the unsightly butt joints and associated damage caused by unsympathetic...

Thank you Novocaine! You have saved me from getting my calipers out to measure bores, collar diameter/offsets, and insertion depths. For whomever stumbles across this thread in future facing the same challenge as me: PCL is a UK based manufacturer of air line fittings who produce their...

I offer a free English oak log with dimensions 2ft (dia) x 7ft long. It was cut down about 5 years ago and the ends were painted. Up until this Sunday I have a forklift to place it (whole) on a trailer or truck. Alternatively, lathe lovers are welcome to ask me, very nicely, to chop it up...

I offer a box of Hodgson Flexistrip, butyl glazing tape in ‘off white’ colour. There are 11 rolls, each with 15mm x 2.5mm x 19m of tape, totalling 209m. Specs available here, datsheet here. The tape was manufactured in 2011 and supposedly only has a shelf life of 12 months, hence why they are...

Had a great morning chatting with Chris152 who took away the extractor and a good stock of timber to save him thicknessing by hand for a while! Chris152 was also very kind in helping to get andymac's planer/thicknesser on to a pallet.
