I have a heap of these to go to a new home ~ 6 gallons These are very long pins 33mm and ca1mm diameter with flat round-head Galv finish The interweb seems to think they should only ever be 1/2" long but these are sewn into hessian sacks with the makers info on there. These are from Whitfield...

Does anyone have advice on colourful wood dyes. Seems to be a chestnut / tiger competition I have finished some of the primary ones that I used to get from the sadly ended "Woodworks Craft Supplies" Not for children's toys but for training aids in wood to colour code all the different parts...

THE PREMISE I want to buy a disc of aluminium to make a router sub-base but the minimum order is too much for me so I am looking for others to spread the cost. THE BACK STORY (NOT IMPORTANT) I have recently bought the UJK router lift and am much in love with it however …... My trend T9Es...

I have a design idea which i would like some assistance with if you fine peoples would be kind enough. I want to take a plain-ish turned wooden bangle and then scroll-saw out some shapes from it. I have a much-beloved Axi SFS scroll saw which will scroll happily through a churchill tank but is...

(My apologies - moved into projects from the wrong section previously) Having recently been interested in geodesic shapes, I thought I would try something a bit different (to my normal stuff) for the impending arrival of my best man’s second daughter. For once I think this might actually be...

I have to finish a large workbench for a process line at work. It is going to be used with saturated metal salt solutions. I am planning to use polyester resin (on birch ply) so that it is sealed and durable - are there any dire warning or horror stories to put me off this course of action...

For once I have a work project to put on here for assistance, I need to get someone to drill some holes in some 50mm plywood for me. - 2*25mm bits as one The grey angles we would get made elsewhere - does anyone know who might do this kind of work - there are 64 plates to do, 32 like the...

Not sure if this truly belongs in this section but never mind. I decided to make a couple of mazes for friends with birthdays coming up shortly. The making is very simple but the working out of the layers is quite tricky. The maze is made of 5 layers of 3mm MDF (ply or whatever) 140*180mm...

Greetings all, I am trying to cut some puzzles in hardwood (about 5mm each) where it is a pattern rather than a picture and half the pieces swap over to give a two tone end result. This means I am trying to cut through 10mm of hardwood with a puzzle blade (Flying Dutchman) which is proving...

I thought that as I was posting, I would go for it again. Well the title's a double lie really, they are not real cart wheels and they are not turned - but never mind. I was asked to make these for a theatrical production (another one) which needed some wheels - they are planned to be load...

As ever I never take anough pictures of the job in process - this was my first attempt at anything in hard-wood. From Les Neufeld's book of "Toys that teach" (APTC and others supply) I chose this as each part is small and you can happily mess each bit up a couple of times without ruining the...

I decided that my niece (3) could have a chest this year for keeping all her other wooden toys in. Having made the lid, thanks to forum folk, I have the lid straightened - although having been on holiday for a week, a hot garage increased the twist in the wood quite a lot. I put the ends on...

I have made a curved lid for a (pirate's style) chest by routing one side of each piece of wood with a dovetail bit to give the curve using 22 strips of timber - but....due to the grain of the wood (read my incompetence / inaccuracy) the assembly is not entirely true - only three of the corners...

I have been offered a Mercury (at a cost) to replace my Ferm bench drill. The Ferm is not excellent but it is 500w. The startrite is 370w but generally considered better - should I go for the mercury - will it drill the same capacity as the ferm (considering I put 68mm forstner bits through...
