Just picked up a Dewalt DW733 thicknesser and was looking for suggestions for an extractor to go with it. I have limited space (and I mean limited) for an extractor so need something compact. Whatever I get will only be used on the thicknesser - I use a CT Midi for everything else. Would...

It's the same with all tools (especially those coming from the other side of the pond). A few other examples of Lie-Nielsen tools, No.7 Jointer 2018 - £432 2022 - £660 2023 - £625 Bevel Edged Chisels 2018 - £54 2022 - £112 2023 - £109 lockdowns, weak pound, demand over supply all have played...

The way I look at it is you have 3 options: 1. Use the sled without the riving knife 2. Buy a second riving knife and cut it down smaller Keith Brown did similar - 3. Cut through the sled once without the riving knife, then with either a saw, router, chisels etc, extend the kerf cut in the...

you could try Folksy (UK version of Etsy), only handmade stuff is allowed

+1 for Titebond III, I use it on all my boards good open time, easy to clean up, waterproof and food safe when fully cured

I did wonder that, but never seen any in person so wasn't sure... and it's a lot pinker than I thought that it would be

Picked up a couple of boxes of offcuts the other day and amongst it was these. Does anyone have any idea what they may be? (They are pinker in colour than they look in the photo)

Sharp sand on its own will eventually wash through the hardcore, as PDW125 says a 6:1 sand/cement mix

Workshop Heaven canvas tool rolls aren't bad. They come in 6, 10 and 12 pocket versions and are pretty cheap at £14.50, £16 and £18 respectively. I've got two, one for carving knives and the other for auger bits. Haven't had a problem with anything falling out which is good as the carving...

Its the grade of the plywood for the faces B - high grade only minor natural features are allowed S - similar to B grade, but allows more natural defects BB - utility grade you can also get lower grade - CP, C and WG so B/BB - one face B grade the other BB grade

Thanks for your replies. I have seen a few people use the RP DX4000 on floor standing PT without any problems, if I do get a thicknesser it will only be a little benchtop one (had been looking at a Makita which I think takes a 75mm hose??), but this is just a daydream I'm fine for the most part...

Hi all, looking for a bit of advice/recommendations as to what extractor would be best for my setup. I primarily use hand tools so my current dust extraction is a dustpan and brush. Anything with power is used outside (mother nature is my dust extractor here), which is fine if it isn't the...

thats what I orgianlly wanted to do... have made something similar in the past but other half wants something rasied off the floor on legs as No skills says "baby steps" I'll try M&T and go slow

yes thats what I want to do, was only just a rough mockup to show the rough idea of what I wanted it to look at when I originally thought of the pocket hole way it was after I saw this video... www [dot] youtube [dot] com/watch?v=QcJQ8TEYRIg (sorry new member so can post links) this showed my...

Thank you all for the great advice this is roughly what I'm thinking of building, just in case someone looks at it as says "Jesus for that you need to use XYZ" (bench will include sides and possibly a back) I've built quite a few fitted things in the past (such as desks, shelves etc etc), but...
