Hello all, I run a carpentry business in North London and, having nearly completed renovating a property that I have been using as a workshop, am in need of a workshop. I am looking for space in North/East London that I would be happy to share. Or if any of you know of a space, not to...

Also, with the circilp off the front, shouldn't the wheel come off? Many thanks for your answers Steve

Steve, Thanks for the quick response. I have loosened said bolts. But can't get the axle to budge! Can I hit it with a hammer? will that nudge it out into alignment ?

Hello, I have a Scheppach Basato 4 bandsaw and its always run a little shakily. Having levelled it out and put some weight in the bottom it runs with only occasional vibration. I went to change the blade the other day to cut some tenons, while setting up the stop I noticed that the blade was...

I am going to be no help to you on this one but what a great site!

Richard, Thank you so much for you kind offer. I have found a way forward using a template and the router which means no tearout! :) Unfortunatly I have been laid up with the flu and have not had the strength to do anything (hence the long delay in responding to your message). 35 more stands to...

Riclepp, That would be grand. Although I fear I (and you) may have a bit of a wait for paint to dry when its so cold.... :)

Thanks Trispy, I'll bare that in mind if I'm up your way.

Thank you all for your input. It's all appreciated. Lasse, thanks for your first hand information. I have now bought a bow saw from Germany and it should arrive soon. I'll let you all know how I get on. As for making one ....I need a saw first ;) Cheers, Coote

oh BTW Evergreen, have you used a 'continental'? If so what did you think? Cheers, Coote

Hmmm....something to mull over. Thanks Evergreen. I am in need of a new saw. when I say 'new' I mean one that is for woodworking rather than a general purpose saw just for cutting.

Hi all, I am thinking of buying a continental type of Bow Saw. Does anyone have any experience of this type of saw? I recently read 'The Seven Essentials of woodworking' by A Guidice, which has inspired me to try and work through said book. I'll start with the saw as the Planes are gonna take...
