Wow!!! Thank you so much everyone for your responses - you are all awesome! Apologies on the lack of my replying, head like a sieve sometimes. I'll make sure that I check the offset measurements (Thank you @beech1948). I must admit, I'm a little nervous about filling and redrilling the hole...

Hi all, Haven't done much carpentry in some time and I never got into cabinet making. I'm saying this so that you understand that much of my knowledge will be ropey. That said, my wife purcahsed a second drinks cabinet and only afterwards did we realise that the lock needed replacing. After...

Hey, thanks for the replies! I've sent and email to Cutting Solutions and I'm looking into bushings as well. Deema, forgive me as I'm a noob with table saws. What do you mean "That need a sleeve"? What is a sleeve?

Hi all, I recently purchased a second hand Table saw off of a friend as he was moving and couldn't take it with him. It was cutting funny (pushing wood to the side) so I've decided to replace the blade - it was slightly blunt on one side of teeth. However I'm having trouble finding a...

Thanks dude, really appreciate the help! :D

Ya know what, mrpercysnodgrass? I was thinking the same thing about a paint and scrape method after I posted. I'm glad that someone was able to confirm my thoughts, lol. Yeah, I noticed from the colron tin of 'Liming Wax' that it was not suitable for use with chairs, hence the post here...

Hey all, I'm making a sun lounger out of old pallets for a friend as I broke the previous sun lounger (flimsy tubular design + me = disaster). However because they are into Shabby Chic I thought that it would be cool to have a lime wash effect on the finished item. Please bear in mind that I...

Hi Paul Saunders, To be fair I'm not 100%, I could have a look and get back to you - watch this post, lol.

Lol Harry, that's a brilliant idea. Was also thinking of making a small knife out of it lol. That's another hobby I'm trying to get into.

Hey all, Thanks for the advice. I'll leave the table saw when it comes to the branch, I'll stick to the plane, lol - just have to buy one now, lol. As for the wood veering off when using the table saw (this is with any wood) would that be the teeth? If so I'll try sharpening it myself once...

Hey all, I've got an old draper hobbyist table saw with an 8 1/4" blade on it. I've sharpened it, but now realise that the most important bit to sharpen would be the actual tips of the points as this does most of the cutting... right? Anyway, the problem that I'm having at the mo is that...

Hi all, I've only joined over the weekend and this is already my third post - sorry to barrage you all with questions like this. Anyway, for one of my upcoming project my wife would like me to make a large "chopping board" that can be placed over our sink and draining board, and then stored...

I have the following: Hand chisels and planes, various sizes. Powerfix Delta Sander (Cheap Lidl thing - still handy) Draper 8 1/4" hobbyist table saw (think needs sharpened as blade bow to right whilst cutting, lol) B&D BD330 bandsaw Trend router 1/4" collet with basic wickes router set ('tis a...

Hi all, Thanks for the replies, really appreciate the help :mrgreen: So I take it I can't 'warp' it straight again? Also there are suggestions of ripping it, and then reattaching it together, how exactly would I do this? Would it be turning over every other board, thus even out most of the...

Dear Random Orbital Rob. LMAO!!! Yeah, we all know someone like that. I have a friend who decided I could use his BBQ to anneal some steel files (knife making hobby). To do so requires extra O2... He melted the wife's hairdryer trying to pump extra air into it... Friends, always there to...
