I did a couple of ceilings this week with 8x4 sheets, by myself. So I screwed some blocks to the new stud wall slightly low, get the board on top of the blocks hold up in place with 1 hand and put at least 2 screws in each side before letting go. I the middle o0f the room use a batten for a...

Got myslef the Dewalt 621 and its a great bit of kit, quite quiet for a router i thought as well. Very good and solid machine, used it a few times on the hinge and lock jigs performed great :lol:

I was thinking of the trend t5 maybe, but i will look into the dewalt. How do they compare?

Hi, I am looking for a 1/4" router and reasonably priced, which is small and powerful? I currently have the Makita 3612 but want a smaller router i can more easily carry about. I want to use it for mostly the trend hinge and lock jigs, but also powerrful enough for most duties. Cheers

Thanks given me alot to think about now will have to see what I can afford.

I hate to think what the police would think if they looked in the back of my van. Most of time i have stanleys, blades, saws, large scraper blades etc. and numerous other tools which could be used as dangerous weapons in the wrong hands.

The shelves will all have lipps on them, but its when the shelves dont have much stuff on they boxes etc. slide about within the shelf area, and i find it annoying the sound of them moving about.

I am just buying new van which I will shelve out. I was wondering if non-slip paint is good enough to paint the shelves with to stop tools etc. from sliding around when travelling? I have used the non-slip matting stapled down before but it does not last long enough and needs to be replaced...

Where do people get their wood in the plymouth area. I want to get some veneered mdf, and other assorted timber. Also I want to make a router table, what kind of veneer should I use on the top and where can I get it? Thanks

was thinking either 110v or 240v. I have been looking at the Bosch GAS25 which has a pass-through power connector so it starts when the tool is used. probably 110v then as most of my tools are 110v.

Can anyone recommend a portable on-site vacuum cleaner that can handle power tools like planer, circular saw etc. I want to get a descent one, but not to expensive as I borrowed my dads cleaner and the mess created was considerably less and much easier to clean up after.

Thanks, the finish is Beewax with polish in it. I think it could be made to a rocker design as well. 720(l)x410(w)x450(h)mm rough quick measure.

I have built this cot for my brothers little girl as a chistmas present. I think it looks alright, I really need to praticse more on the finish. It has been made from pine T&G floor boards

I did everything including the rip out, painting, plumbing, tiling. The units where pre-made Howden units. Just about 2 weeks work when finished.
