    Helping out a family member

    I recently did a job building a garden office for my sister and Brother in law. I get on well with them, but i explained that they may be better off getting someone else in as i would have to charge my normal rates for the job otherwise i am losing income. It is different if it is a day to help...

    Severance negotiations

    I was in a similar position to you although 20 years ago. My boss took the view that i was disloyal but did not try to offer any form of severance. I worked in the recruitment industry at the time and had been responsible at a previous role for keeping up to date with recruitment law. I took my...

    Heads-up - Gluing Accoya

    Not just you, I won't use it. I have had some experience of how brittle it is, I find it horrible to use. Obeche is quite stable too. I machine some picture frame mouldings for some clients and use it. Nick

    Smartwatch for the workshop

    I personally would not want a watch that can vibrate at any moment. The thing i have found with ear buds (or bluetooth ear defenders is that the phone beeping in for a call or message is less distracting. It is just a noise change that I can ignore if right in the middle of something, but at...

    Smartwatch for the workshop

    My son who works for me has a Samsung galaxy that seems hard wearing. What i have done to know when calls or messages are coming in is have ear buds in. I listen to audiobooks, but will hear calls no problem. You can get ear defenders that are comfortable to wear over the ear buds too. The...

    Council charges and DIY refuse

    South Gloucestershire allow a commercial vehicle 12 free visits a year and pay no attention to black bags. I use my pick up mostly to take garden waste rather than use our car. But i often see full transit vans clearly getting rid of commercial waste and this seems fine to those who work there...

    Festool domino: benefits + price

    I do use the domino to join the rails and stiles. It adds strength, but it also makes alignment far easier. I use it with a decorative edge as well. My rails and stiles are normally 22mm with 9mm mrmdf inserts. I tend to use 8mm dominos. I machine the profile with a spindle moulder and scribe...

    Festool domino: benefits + price

    That does seem like a good price, but if local, can you go and have a look and see it working. If they are reluctant to let you see it working, then i wouldn't bother. Sometimes you get lucky with price. I do similar jobs to you and held off buying one for quite a while. I eventually took the...

    My Father always threatened to remove the socket from the tv if my mother suggested putting it on.

    Child labour - when did you start you kids off in DIY

    My son showed no interest in woodworking growing up, but decided to take a gap year and earn some money before going to university. He came and worked for me and is now taking a 2nd gap year to stay working (although he is planning to go to uni next year). What is interesting is that even 3...

    Any window folks recognise this seal?

    Not sure what it is, but a Schlegel AQ124 seal will replace that perfectly. Slots into a 3mm slot exactly like that. Cheers Nick
