can anyone suggest a good filler for Mahogany? A mate of mine has some pool table legs that have had nails put into them and now there are quite big holes, he needs a filler that is a simular colour but also that he could nail into again if needs be. Suggestions greatly received

I'm a packaging technologist for pedigree and I work on the treats for dogs! ambition to own a little furniture shop in Camden or Kingston!

Sorry I thought we were size limited

I bought this router from B&Q a while back and finally got round to using last weekend. only for some reason I cant seem to get the chuck to hold in the router bit. I thought I may have made a rookie error and bought the wrong bit size but I've definately got the right size. I go to tighten the...

Well here it is only took me one and a half years to finish! its a squat coffee table that I saw in a magazine and loved so made a few modifications and hey presto here's my version. Its MDF with Zebrano veneer, done rather crudely with sheet glue and an iron and has a pine leg in the centre...

I did a course with John Lloyd - furniture making 1. The course was actually in East sussex, I stayed in tunbridge wells, kent as some of my family live there. I'd recomend it.

Thanks for the tips. I used it last night for the first time and must say I'm very happy with the results. As a newbie i'm going to make some simple stuff first and fingers crossed it will take off from there. Will post them on here as and when!

ok cheers guys, think i'll just give it a whirl without all the fussy bits of tuning. thanks again

Well I've waited and waited and I finally bought myself my first lie-nielsen no 5 1/2 which I tried and loved while on a course in Kent. Only problem is the course was about 6 months ago and at the time I had a very old plane and spent most of the time removing the rust from it while the others...

Thanks for the heads up, i've been waiting to order a lie-nielsen no 5 1/2 for ages and just got my christmas bonus so I thought i'd get it. It said out of stock too but I phoned up and they said as long as I ordered it now I'd pay the price I was quoted. I'm praying that happens as i've just...

Hiya, I have a plunge router which is a pretty good spec one and has never left the box (and i've had it a year). Do any types of plunge routers work with router tables? not sure what spec mine is but I think I might christen it if I can get/make a table for it. If not can anyone recomend a...

thanks guys i'll pop out tonight and get a router table

Hey guys, I need a pointer on the best way to add a rebate to a small piece of timber. I want to make some picture frames for people for christmas and I have some small bits of oak lying around i'd like to use. They're about 2.5cm x 2.5cm and about 30cm in length. Any idea the best way to put a...

Hi All, I've just purchased my very first table saw! I decided on an Erbauer cheap jobby to start me off. It arrived Monday and today I've got a chance to use it. Any ideas what a good first project would be? Cheers

Hiya, been looking to use some of my holiday that work give me and do a basic woodworking course. It needs to include basics as I know how to do it but I tend to hash things so I thought I'd change that. I'm willing to spend upto £500 and would preferably like the course in Surrey or Kent, that...
