Hi I need some 1" x 7" hardwood bookmatching so cutting into 2 x 1/2"x 7" pieces I've used 2 local joinery companies before but results were not great. Does anyone have a good big bandsaw setup well that is capable of doing this for some cash? Preferably in the midlands area but I do drive...

Thanks for the response I'm actually using disc magnets for the non hinged ends. Wanted the other end to be more permanent

Hi Not quite sure I can explain this very well but I need some help finding a very small kitchen cupboard type hinge or something similar I need to make a flush fitting cover in a wooden guitar body to house a 9v battery. I want the cover to be small and as invisiable as possible, hinged at...

Hi Sorry if this is yet another silly question.....One day I hope to stop asking silly questions but for now please help! I need to glue (with normal white wood glue) some small pieces of veneer to a project and they need to be clamped into position. As they are only narrow but long bits i...

Hi I've only tried Amazon.com and them directly. I've emailed them asking if they have a UK or european distributer. That one on ebay looks good enough for me, I'll give it a go Thanks Dave

Yes I thought someone would have been round for it by now, but I guess waiting for it to dry might put some people off. I dont want it to go up in smoke as firewood, if that happens I'm keeping the Damson, it's lovely

Got a chainsaw to chop these down with as soon as the rain stops - anyone want them??

Had a few people asking about sizes etc so I've taken a couple of pix to help out.... These are the 2 smaller apple trees The front one is lager apple but the rear one is actually Damson tree, the heartwood is a lovely richer colour - a bit purple and is harder than the apple. I've just...

Hi I've got 4 large apple trees that I'm going to cut down and dispose of, before I did that I was wondering if anyone here had any use for the wood as I'd rather it get used rather than taking them down the tip. If anyone wants them they are free if collected from Worcester WR2 Thanks Dave

I'm sure Trev in newark has a load. He's very inexpensive and gets good postal rates, he will aslo cut to size. 01636 821828
