Hi
I am not familiar with metalwork at all. The nearest I go is to use the tools made by others.
I need to replace a brass screw nut on my Lie Nielsen honing guide.
The advice from LN was to heat the old brass nut to break the bound and then use Loctite 290 to fix the new one in.

Dear UKW fellow woodworkers
I bought a Lie Nielsen honing guide second-hand. The previous owner had damaged the central screw BrassNut. I tried repairing and smoothening the edges which was okay for time.
I contacted the LN directly enquiring about the way to replace it. The reply was very...
Thank you all for your thoughts. I have a single garage as my workshop. One wall is taken up with shelves, and the end wall houses my timber racks. There's only half a wall available to the end due to a hatch door in the middle for top floor storage. Both the floor and the wall are difficult to...
My planes have outgrown my first plane till/ cabinet and I need to build some safe place to keep them. I am undecided between a tool chest a wall cabinet and a new plane till.
What do you use in your workshop and what are the advances and disadvances?
I look forward to hear from you all.

From all the replies I gather the best way forward is using some sort of hardware. Drawbore was mentioned but I am not sure how easy it is going to be to take the dowels out after a period of time.
That's an amazing bed. I love your project. I've made one before a couple of years ago with through mortice and wedge fixation. It's solid and has no hardware 😉.
My wife doesn't want the same design.
Attention all experienced woodworkers!
I'm currently considering the exciting project of constructing a double bed frame and I could use your expertise. The design I have in mind includes a headboard and footboard crafted from three and two planks respectively, morticed into the legs.
However, I...
