7'6" x 12' so 90ish sq feet. Its the 6'1" ceiling that makes if feel small though :) Currently build some mobile stands to help with space management.

Marine Blue with Lime stone roof station wagon. Did a full chassis up rebuild before selling it and shipping it off to america when I changed jobs and couldnt afford it. Somehow the Disco that followed it just didnt put the same smile on my face. To everyone else who doesnt want to debate the...

Hi Folks, I have been doing some work with MDF recently and the amount of dust is becoming a pain to clean up. I currently have an old dyson that I had kicking around which I hook up to the various tools I use but its not a very good solution. I have a small workshop (8'x12') and most of my...

Hi Folks, Just been trawling the internet looking at local timber suppliers and getting a little stumped by how they refer to different types of timber. Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide to how timber is graded and identified? Examples are: 5th scan red g1 4th Russian red g2...

Hi Guys, Not sure, will have to check the clearance. 16mm by the looks of it but the current one has a spacer. Mainly softwood and the best finish I can get! I have had a dig round on the internet and there seems to be plenty of blades out there in the 210-216mm range but very few with...

Yes I do. I have a very long list of examples of the DPA being used as an excuse for laziness.

It would be nice to think they would consider it but unfortunatley the same document says: Dont you just love UK legislation . J

But not if your not in it. The data protection act covers personal information about living individuals. Footage of your car isnt personal and they have to consider who else is in the footage as they have rights as well under the act. Unfortunatley if no offical authorities are investigating...

Hi Folks, Thanks to a very generous person I am now the owner of a radial arm saw. Its in relativley good nick and seems to be reasonably accurate but the blade has a few chipped teeth. It takes a 8.25" (210mm) negative rake blade. Can anyone recomend somewhere to purchase such things...

Its not your personal information so they have no legal obligation to provide you with it. J

Nice rack :P I built something similar out of plywood when I was working through some cisco certs. Mine did have a poweredge in the bottom and also left large marks in the carpet as it got rather heavy with a couple of servers plus several routers and switch chassis's in it. If I factor in...

There is a selco in leeds so might have a swing by there at the weekend.

I am planning to build some workshop cabinets/tool stands. They will be in a cellar workshop that is dry in the main but has been damp in the past so wanted to use something suited to the environment. Will prob varnish whatever I build as well. Jon

Hi folks, I need to buy a couple of sheets of 3/4 exterior ply. How much should a 8x4 sheet cost me? A quick look at a few large DIY chains websites show about £35. Is this about right or should a local wood yard have it a bit cheaper? Cheers Jon

Wouldnt the world be a strange place if we were all the same! I miss living by the river Tay and having to walk 2 miles to the pub but know plenty of people who consider living more that 5 minutes from a tube station to be rural. I also know people who think wood working is a strange hobby :o...
