I have been asked about a repair, and its not something for me to take on but out of curiosity ... Assuming it's solid wood and not a veneer or engineered wood of some kind is removing a burn 'simply' sanding and refinishing or is it more involved?

Sold under various names, this is a Sorby branded one in its original box. The pin chuck is missing from the original 'basic set' but this has two additional jaw sets included though they are all the same 'fitting', just different sizes, 1 3/4", 2 1/2" and 3 1/2 inches . It's basic but more...

Start of the clear out. Milescraft Signcrafter sign routing kit. Used once I think and gathering inches of dust up in the rafters ever since. I've been through the parts checklist and all seems to be there apart from maybe some of the standard screws for fixing the base to your router. There...

.. When I'm gone I hope she doesn't sell my tools for what I told her they cost! It may well be sensible in the current climate with the real chance of the more senior or not so healthy of us falling seriously ill to maybe make an inventory with sensible 'sale' prices of the kit to save the...

Having a clear out of some of the stuff 'that would come in handy one day ' but has just been affordable housing for spiders . So is this lot any good for any of you good members? It's mainly walnut with some oak and maybe the odd bit of beech or maple. I'll chuck it in a shoebox and post it...

Is there such a thing and if so what's it called? I'm trying to mock up, not so much a template, but an example to follow of bended(?) metal tube to make some engine guard / crash bars for a bike. Currently using 5 or 6mm bar which works to a point but deforms a bit too much when re shaping...

Evening all. I'm part way through stripping an extractor motor for a bearing change but time ran out today so will continue tomorrow. Just to expedite matters and hopefully prevent any breakages does anyone have any experience with similar? After half a gallon of 3in1 a bit of heat and a lot of...

We have one, it's about 20 years old and I may as well be using a broom handle so we need a new one. (Minimum of) 400mm (16") file length (without the tang) square, turnip or 2nd cut, and somewhere between 15 and 18mm width. I think files of this size are forged by mythical beasts on a full...
