No worries - thanks for letting me know.

Would you be happy to post / have this couriered? If so and we can keep it down to a reasonable (sub £25) cost for postage, I would take the complete package, inc drawers. Thanks, Jamie

No comments on the structure of the retaining or otherwise wall - geotextile-wrapped or capped drainage pipe though yes and the other suggestion is to run the gravel to the surface not on a vertical fill but away from your wall at 45 degrees. I've seen this suggested as lecia fill in green...

Unlikely that I am a better man than Kevin but I have done a similar thing with very similar looking timber and I just waxed it a couple of times - one thing though, I noted that it remained quite "pore-y" even when sanded down through the grits so gave it a wipe with white spirit after the...

No need to worry about this now - as you should have been told, they've gone bust!

Duffield Timber?

Thanks both Custard and ED65 for taking the time to reply - Waterstones and strops seem reasonably easy to pick up - but the abrasive papers less so. Workshop Heaven stock a range by 3M down to something like 8000 grit but Axminster 'only' go as far as 2500 grit. Any other outlets worth...

Jumping on this as I use the same stones (600 - 1000 - 1200 usually, sometimes without the 1000) - what do I need to use after this to make a hand plane truely sharp? Note: I know I'm dropping the S-bomb but this is a genuine question! Do I need another step as I currently don't do anything...

We're with them too - cheapest tariff out there last I looked, that's the only reason why as I agree their service is rubbish. They recently got a formal telling off from the regulator specifically about not charging the appropriate rate according to the usage / readings, poor communications, etc...

I think that's great too, and I was further reassured to see that I am not alone with a shed / workshop that might need a tidy...

Thanks for the feedback everyone - we are talking ribbons rather than tiny bits. I should probably sweep then vacuum but the asthmatic vacuum I have suffers with just general dust so I'll likely have to fork out for a new one of them too. I was just wondering if this might do both jobs but...

https://www.screwfix.com/p/scheppach-ha1000-183m-hr-dust-extractor-240v/15408 Is this a reasonable deal for a beginner - hand tools mainly. My workshop floor is ankle deep in shavings and obviously a 'normal' vacuum clogs up quickly. A bit of small power tool work also makes a bit of finer...

We have fencing in this style put in after the farm was opencasted in the 1940-50's. This fencing is therefore at least 60 and when it hasn't been lent on by large farm animals, is in fantastic condition still. I've reused a few rails as coat racks, etc with just a sand and wax, and I've got a...

That would be great too - just let me know what you think is an appropriate gesture...

Hi Ed - I spoke to you a bit ago about a guage and a potential 5 1/2 plane too - have I missed something from you? I did send my details by PM? No problem if I've missed out - didn't want to mess you around though if you were waiting for something for me? Cheers, Jamie
