I have a job coming in to restore and polish an Indian Sheesham table. To complete the job I will need to remove some iron brackets, which are secured by nails that have been clinched. There is every chance of me braking at least some of them while getting them out. I don't seem to be able to...

I have a belt/disc sander that has stick on disc sander sheets, I have a lot of difficulty changing these discs. I have tried meths to melt the adhesive but that does not work- any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi, Have you considered approaching a local farmer to rent an unused barn or building. I used to rent such a building when I was in business, the rent was nominal, a pleasant environment to work in and customers seemed to like it as it seemed right for what I made, which was mostly country...

Hi all, I have the above morticer and have noticed that the chisel is not square to the table. I have ried different chisels, I have tried turning the collet but it makesno difference, I can't find the manual at home or on the net. I don't see any adjustment to rectify this. Has anyone any ideas...

Difficult to tell the difference from a photo but if it has a strong odour it could well be white cedar.

Hi Kieth, Sorry it has taken me a while to respond but I have been a bit tied up with other stuff. The positioning of the doors and windows is not particularly flexible, just which side you want the door really. I have tried to attach some pictures but I don't think it has worked. I will try...

Hi, I bought a Bill O Clubhouse, it is 5m x 4.5m, it cost around £2500 with my extra's. I had to put it together myself, but that was easy enough. The timber is 50mm thick, so it does not need a lot of insulation. I am really delighted with it. Have a look on their website, they do a wide range...

Thank you for all the advice, it is most helpful. I now have use of a little Dremel Moto fret saw, I am going to use that for a while to see how I get on. Then if I find I like scroll sawing I will splash out and by a 'good' one. I have used a hand fret saw to cut out some of the pieces, but it...

Hi all, I have recently started doing a bit if carving, it often requires that I cut out the shape first. My band saw is a bit clumsy for some of the intricate shapes and it cant do internal cuts. Iwont need to cut any more than an inch. At the moment I am not particularly interested in general...

Hi FirstSpear, You could get some shellac sticks that match, then just melt it with a soldering iron so it drips onto the affected area, clean up with a sharp chisel before it sets to hard. You might think about cleaning it up with some Libnet, it probably has a shellac finish, so get some...

It is legal to have a dado on a RAS and so can cut tenons with a single pass or two.

When I first started woodworking, one of the 'must haves' was a radial arm saw, So I bought one, the big DeWalt, I found it very difficult to be accurate, but still quite useful. I sold it a couple of years ago as it was taking up too much space ia my new smaller workshop. Anyway, I never hear...
