Good morning all I’m hoping somebody can help me. I have a piece of kitchen worktop that I’ve been asked to make into the base for a top end vinyl record player. I’ve cut the jig, but it appears that the piece of worktop is not completely flat. It’s probably 750 mm x 500 mm in overall size. Is...

Good evening all! I’m hoping someone out there might be able to help me with this. A friend of mine has asked me for about 24 platters. Now I can turn these, but I’m really struggling to find appropriate blanks for them, hence my message on this forum. Is anyone out there able to, and...

I wonder if anyone might be able to help me here. I’m looking to buy some metal makers discs to insert into turned items. I have searched high and low, but can’t seem to find what I am looking for. I’m sure someone out there uses them and would be grateful if you can share where to buy. Many...

Thanks for all the replies. I’ve spoken to Wealden who look to have the ideal cutter for this. Might make a bit of a hole in any non existent profit, but I’m sure I can use it in the future!!

The piece I’m using happens to be worktop, but it’s to make a base for a high end vinyl turntable. Its about the same size as a small sink cut out,

I have a template that I have cut from 12mm ply. I need to use this to cut out some 40mm oak worktop, but need to know which type and make of router bit will give the best finish. All help or advice readily received. Many thanks in advance.

Hi there! That sounds fab. Can we go ahead with the purchase, and if you can send me appropriate bank details I can make a transfer straight into the account if that’s okay. Look forward to hearing from you

Good afternoon! Just checking to see if these are still available, and if you have an idea of how much postage might be??

Thank you for the advice! Your suggestion was my second choice, but I’m not sure if my parting tool is long enough. However, it might give me a “need” to buy a new one!!

Good morning all. I am trying to make some wooden platters and am trialling some end grain turning. I have a piece of Elm that I have turned two spigots on either face. The next plan is to saw this in half, but need to find someone with a bandsaw who would be able to resaw this for me to make...

In support of my recent post about English Hardwoods, I have come across this Woodyard, Rustic Wood Barn. Having spoken to the lady who runs the business, it strikes me that this is another local business, with very traditional values. I am hopeful to be able to source some material for a...

I’m sure that a number of you will have heard of English Hardwoods, a little woodyard based in Geddington, Northamptonshire. It was run by a real man of wood, Nigel Fleckney. I was after some rounds to turn some platters, and tried to ring Nigel. I was unable to get a reply, so I drove over to...

Some window furniture removed prior to window replacement. Not sure on postage cost but happy to box up and send. You will probably know the cost of that better than me!
