Hey Robin, thanks for the reply! so yeah, other than undercoat which every item gets a coat of we to use around 7 other colours - mostly gold/Silver and a bunch of more standard colours. In an ideal world (and correct me if Im wrong) it would be handy to have all these paints, in pots that...

Hi All, I was hoping I could get some advice - my wife has a little Etsy shop that sells hand made, and painted items - most of these items are letters and logos at around the A4-A3 kinda size and so far she has been hand painting or spraying with cans (mostly sprayed), made from MDF and/or...

New to woodworking....Only produced a handful of painted ply objects... So Veneered Ply....seems to be close to, if not impossible to source in Norfolk. A few stock MDF, but not plywood With that in mind, anyone knows if any stockists in the east, or has anyone ordered online - and if so how...

Hi Everyone, appreciate the feedback and thoughts! , I've been a little out of the loop with work and as such, I've not had much time to check the replies here Appreciate the comments on pinned vs unpinned - at present, I think what Ill mostly be using it for is some very simple cuts and...

Hi All, Picked up a super cheap scroll saw - the Naerok 16 for a tenner! It all works, but the blade is old and needs changing, but like all things, it seems to be more complex than it should be! The blade that's in there at the moment is pinned, and its 165mm from pin to pin. Looking online...

thanks all!

Hey all, can anyone shine a light/give me info on the T Track specs on this. It looks to be 14-15mm wide, which means its non-standard. Basically I'm trying to make some simple jigs but the spec of the T track is confusing me a little. And I don't want to waste money on the wrong thing

Hey all, I'm about to make a start designing some alcove cabinets - something like the attached image - I have two to make, both more or less the same size. And here's the thing - there's plenty of info online on how to design and put something like this together in 2 door formation, but...

cheers! The plan is to support the shelf from 3 sides... Hopefully that will help!?

thanks mate, that's super helpful

Hi All, I'm making a basic shelf that has one long (180cm) shelf, its mostly made out of hardwood ply, but I'm also going to brace the front and back with some hardwood to support it/stop it sagging. Its also going to be painted, so the final look is not all that important. With that in...

Another random question Does anyone know the technical specs/accurate dimensions of the Miter Track/T slot? I know its not the usual size.

random question.,. Does anyone else find raising the blade takes more or less effort at different hights?

mdf could be an option - but weirdly I'm keen to use ply as I have a number of projects in mind and I want to practice and get comfortable with ply. Also, this will be for a bookcase in a busy hallway with kids and an oap who regularly drives their wheelchair into things! I think ply might be...

Hi all, I realise birch ply is probably the best ply there is, but lets say I want to build some basic shelves or a basic cabinet, which will be painted. in this case is birch ply the way to go, or can a cheaper ply be used, are there any downsides? I'm sorry this is such a naff question...
