Hi All, I'm in a real pickle - I'm building some solid ash doors and draw-fronts to extend the kitchen we've recently put in. The original doors/drawer fronts are from B&Q - part of their Solid Ash range. To cut a long story short, we had to modify the larder unit to make it narrower in order...

I bought this driver for two reasons (1) My old Bosch (green 9.2v), which has served me well, has started to make strange noises, suggesting it's on its way out (any excuse eh :twisted: ) (2) My brother has two of these which I got to use whilst fitting a kitchen with him - I was impressed...

I recently bought a combination blade for my Scheppach TS2500, thinking that it would be compatible (correct bore etc), but on attempting to fit it I spotted that the existing blade has two lug holes, like this: The arbor has corresponding lugs which make it impossible to fit a conventional...

And I had thought the drill press was probably the safest machine in my workshop.... This was the result yesterday, after attempting to drill into some pine using this 10mm bit. In no time at all I'd had a hefty smack on the thumb, and the bit (and workpiece) were spinning around in the...

Well, I finally took the plunge and invested in a workbench - the home made thing I had been managing on was never really a proper workbench and after many years of abuse, plus one too many workshop re-organisations, it was starting to show its age. I briefly toyed with the idea of building...

I'm thinking of buying a new sawblade for my TS2500 - the 24T one that came with it is not leaving the finish I would like. The default sawblade that comes with it is 270mm (I believe this is another feature upgrade in the CI version - previous versions were 250mm diameter I think). Anyway...

...Well it arrived, and it's bl**dy big and bl**dy heavy! The truck driver and I struggled to get it into the workshop (in fact the main unit had to be taken out of its packaging because it wouldn't go through the front door otherwise (only means of access to workshop). Even then it was tight...

...a new Scheppach TS2500 that is :D ....just placed the order at D&M (Rutlands please note - my recent poor experience with you has cost you this order!) so hopefully in the coming weeks I'll be up to my ears in heavy boxes + a rather daunting assembly challenge...but that's all part of the...

Well, it's the weekend, and my last order from Rutlands hasn't turned up :evil: Ordered very early on Monday morning, charge appeared on the credit card on Tuesday (which by my reckoning means they charged my card straight away on the Monday), but nothing has turned up. It's not a big order...

I'm getting awfully close to taking the plunge with this TS, but wanted to be sure that it would fit within the space allocated in my workshop. I know the core table dimensions (800x680), and that will fit without problem, but wondered what space it needs when the sliding carriage is attached...

I was using my sliding mitre saw the other day and had a case of kick-back - not with the piece I was cutting but with the blade/motor assembly, which came back towards me. :shock: Kind of suprised me at the time (of all the years I've been using the saw this has never happened). Have any of...

Hello all - I don't post very much on these forums but read them often, and find them a great source of ideas and inspiration! Thanks to all for making this such a great site :D I was hoping someone could give me some advice on making mortice & tenon joints for a standard lamp I'm making as a...

Hello all, I'm just about to embark on a turned project in Sycamore - a standard lamp for my Mum :). She wants the finish to be left as natural as possible - e.g. just a wax - and to that end is abit concerned about me putting a sealer on before finishing. I normally use a cellulose sanding...
