Hi folks Just wondering if any of you have any experience of the Pro edge knife sharpening jigs? I'm wondering if they're any good? Cheers Jamie

Hi folks I contacted Record Power to find out if they'd be doing a discount on the item I'm interested in at the show and yes they will be! They'll be selling it for £129.99 with free delivery. Apparently, the new venue means they can take card payments more easily, but going by what you folk...

Hi folks I'm attending the Harrogate Show later in the month and I'm interested in buying the Record Power BDS150 belt sander. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience of what sort of discount is typical? I can buy the sander on line now for £149 with free postage, but I wonder whether...

Hi folks Who's all going to the Harrogate Show (The North of England Woodworking & Power Tool Show) this year? My local woodturning club is putting on a bus for us so I'm heading there on the Sunday and I'm looking for a belt sander at a good price! Jamie

Bodger's only ever turned parts for the chairs. Someone else completed it. Hence why if someone left a job half done today you might refer to it as a bodged job or that the person had bodged it.

I've tried numerous brands and types of sandpaper and I find that the one I prefer by far is Rhynogrip red line.

As a Woodrurner and a nurse I can assure you that the mask, mouldy or not, could not have caused any sort of infection in such a short space of time. It'll have been working away on you for days before you noticed any symptoms. All the same, if this encourages folk to give their masks a wash...

Hi folks How do you all safely cross cut logs on a bandsaw? I've watched someone put a piece of wood underneath which had a V cut out the middle to give the log support and to stop it spinning. Are these things available to buy or are they all handmade?

Having set up my new shiny bandsaw last week and testing it on some pieces of scrap wood I decided today to try cutting a bowl blank from a piece of green beech. I sliced the bark edges off and drew a circle on top before starting to cut. I was using a 3/4 sabre tooth blade. I thought this was...
