Thank you everyone for the input. The workshop is 5m x 5.5m with a ceiling around 3m.

My workshop is poorly insulated but as it is rented I can't do much about it. It gets quite cold and as low down as 2c. I am looking to get a heater in to bring the temperature up when applying finish or glue but I wanted to make sure I got one that was safe and wasn't going to be a fire hazard...

Sometimes retailers give a discount if you give them a larger than average sale as it can lead to a customer paying more by adding an item. Like back in the mid to late 00's I bought a tv and surround sound, the guy I was dealing with knocked off 3% which led to me buying a bluray player too.

I plan to get some better chisels a new plane and a few other bits in an order that will end up being between £500 - £600 and was wondering if anyone has ever asked if they will do a deal on this kind of order and whether it was worth asking?

After years of good work my original conveyor broke in August which lead me to buy a replacement from bnd abrasives which wasn't a great experience and it just wasn't good quality and has failed. I have tried googling but keep coming up short so if any one has any suggestions I would be very...

Thank you, that was a great help. I will be going with end grain in that case.

Someone has asked me to add to face grain strips to a unused end grain cutting board they have to make it wider. I have haven't worked on an end grain cutting board before and was unsure whether wood movement would be an issue?

Thanks for the information. I think that's it settled and I will be going with the ProEdge.

Hello all, I have decided it's time to get a grinder as I am tired of the painfully slow method of hand sharpening a new primary bevel on my chisels and planes. I have been looking around and can't decide what to go for and was wondering if people have some suggestions? I am looking for...

It has a smaller one connection maybe 50 - 60 mm. It will be getting used daily so want to keep as much dust out of the air as I can.

Hello all, I had a second hand Record Power RSDE1 for the past 6 or so years which was hooked up to a cyclone worked well but stopped working on Friday. I am now looking looking for a replacement so I thought I would ask for peoples recommendations. I still intend to use it with the cyclone and...

Fantastic, thank you very much everyone. I shall be placing an order with them in that case.

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this but has anyone bought from trade-hinges.co.uk before? I can't really find any reviews about them other than 7 on trust pilot that don't seem to add up. I wanted to see if they were legit before placing an order. I usually buy from Ironmongery...

Thanks for the reply. Turns out it was Core Box that I was actually after and had gotten the name wrong.

That was perfect :D Thank you very very much.
