Hi, is this still available? Thanks

Thanks for all the support, encouragement and tips/advice. The nails don't look too bad. most of them are small, not going all the way through and sticking out enough to grab but I will probably regret saying that tomorrow. I will maybe remove the nails and trim the pieces tomorrow and be lazy...

Let us know how it goes. It's easy in the world of youtube woodworkers to think you must have every tool under the sun or you can't do any woodworking but that's bs. Like many people have already stated, there are so many options for you that you could still do at home. Wood carving, hand...

Always been too scared to ask building sites or people with skips if I could take the perfectly good and useable wood I have seen them throw out. Well I finally asked and they said yes so here is what I managed to pick up. Might look like trash to most people but it's a proud moment for myself...

That was very informative, thank you. How often do you find yourself using the sliding portion of your mitre saw now you have the MFT setup? I plan to get a MFT and currently have a standard mitre saw so I was curious if you could do without a sliding mitre saw.

Looks amazing. Well done. The socket cutouts look very neat and the whole cabinet looks professional.

Hi, I am after some advice regarding soundproofing. I have built in wardrobes in the alcoves in my bedroom but I can hear the neighbours talking so would like to attempt some form of soundproofing. I can't add the conventional form of soundproofing of stud wall and rock wool as I would lose too...

Hi, I currently keep all my power tools in systainers and my hand tools in 2 metal cantilever tool boxes. This is for added convenience if I ever need to do any DIY around the house or at somebody elses house I can quickly take the tools required. The second reason is for added security as I...

I spent ages contemplating if I should get one. Initially I bought and tried a 5 stage HEPA air purifier [not sure how well it worked]. Then finally decided to just pull the plug as it should help with your health and wasn't too expensive. I wasn't sure if it was working but I looked at the air...

Usually sells for £380 but currently selling for £299 with free next day delivery. Cheapest I have ever seen this saw. 91mm max cut double bevel https://www.toolstop.co.uk/makita-ls1018ln-slide-compound-mitre-saw-with-laser-255-260mm-240v/

Hello, I am in two minds and would appreciate some advice. This year I purchased an alarm system and CCTV for my detached garage workshop. My dilemma is whether or not to install them. Aside from the obvious advantages, some cons that have bothered me are that they would attract attention to...

You can't tell if something is asbestos just by looking. I would recommend taking a sample and using a test kit like the one in the link below. I used the same kit for my garage roof and it was an easy and quick service...

Thanks for the very helpful replies. I am actually less worried about alignment and more so paranoid/concerned with strength. Concerned with the glue and screws not being enough for strength.

Plan to build built in wardrobes with MRMDF with glue and screws. But after watching Peter Millard videos I noticed he also adds dominos which he states are for alignment. Obviously the dominos would add more strength but would adding biscuits instead help as I can't afford a domino. Thanks

I now own the makita 36v plunge saw, but before I could afford/justify it, I invested in makita tracks and used a rail adapter with the track and my circular saw. I've included a link to the adaptor I used...
