I just saw this on offer http://www.rutlands.co.uk/cgi-bin/psPro ... i?promo=23 It looks pretty solid but does anyone have any experience of it? I know the guard needs removing from the saw! Thanks Mike

Well I finally got it finished so here are a few pics The worktops are solid oak with the addition of about 10,000 coats of Danish oil. It's not quite finished in this picture as the pan rack at the left now has a shelf underneath and racks for the lids Internally all the cupboards are...

Hi, I would really appreciate some advice. I'm making a new kitchen and want to spray the doors and face frames using a water based primer/undercoat and Farrow and Ball 'Estate Eggshell' water based topcoat. I will be spraying in the garage which is reasonably well ventillated because I can...

It's been so long since I started my kitchen refit thread that I've lost it so here is where I have got to. Because of my day job I spent ages without making any progress but I've had a couple of free weekends and made a bit more progress so here are some pics. Left side of the kitchen. The...

Hi, I haven't posted anything new for a while so here is the result of last weekends work. It's a work in progress in so far as it's not finished but unfortunately I didn't manage to take any pictures while making them. The carcasses are all 19mm beech veneered MDF apart from the backs which...

I live in a little village in East Yorkshire and my daughter completed her degree in Reading last year so I have on quite a few occasions 'enjoyed' the pleasure of finding my may to the M62, onto the M1 via the M18, taking my life in my hands and sitting for hours in roadworks and conjestion on...

I bought one of these because it looked good value and a reasonable way to get started with a ducted system around my workshop: http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-100m ... 803510.htm Well the pipes are OK but the T-junctions should be Y-Junctions (fair enough, I knew that when I ordered it)...

I've just fiished this (well almost - just a bit more painting to do). It's based on one I saw in a Chalon kitchen. It's all beech, mostly solid but some veneered MDF panels as well. The carcass itself what very simple to make but making all of the supports was trick. I made a template and...

And I bet you don't even know what you did! My Triton router adjustment jammed up today and I found your guide to dismantling it: http://www.raygirling.com/dismtra1.htm I took it apart, cleaned it out and it's working a treat again. Many thanks Mike

Hi, Can anyone point me in the direction of a motor for this: https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/view ... hp?t=30174 The one it came with is a 2 pole and much too fast (2800rpm). I can find plenty of 4 pole (1400 rpm) motors (Machine Mart/Axminster..) but they all have shafts which are 40mm...

This is my first post on the turning forum as until today I never had a lathe but that has now changed... It all started with a chat with my brother who said his workshop was too full to fit in any more motorbikes and me saying that I would be happy to remove any old junk he had in there. So I...

I haven't posted for a while but here is a pic of my AV stand: The sides are solid ash and the shelves ash faced MDF lipped with solid ash. I made it adjustable and made a couple of spare shelves because I'm always changing things. Cheers Mike

I spotted this at Screwfix and thought it looked like a good machine for the price: http://www.screwfix.co.uk/prods/37605/P ... 50mm-110V# Does anyone have one or know anything about it? Cheers Mike

I'm making a set of four wardrobe doors which are to be painted. The plan is to make the door frames out of 19mm MDF and the panels from 6mm MDF. Normally I make solid wood frames and leave the panels floating but as all the material is MDF, I would like to glue the panels in for extra...

I spotted this: http://www.screwfix.co.uk/prods/46620/P ... it-Nailer# in the screwfix catalogue and on paper it looks like a good deal. Has anyone had any experience of this machine. Many thanks Mike

Just in case you haven't seen enough router tables under construction - here's mine to add to the list! I build the cabinet over the weekend, it's all 3/4 inch ply, simply glued and screwed. The top is three sheets of 1/2 MDF glued together, edged with some ash left over from a previous...

I have spent the last few evening rearranging my workshop. The two things I wanted to achieve were more space around the tablesaw and a an area where I can assemble large items. I have moved the tablesaw into the the middle of the shop and placed it such that there is enough space around it to...

I would really appreciate some advice. I have just acquired a Triton router and have decided to make a new table for it. I've seen the router table insert in the Axminster catalogue but I'm not convinced by the comment that it is made slightly crowned to avoid sagging. I would much rather it...

I've just picked up the big Triton router from the Scarborough B&Q for £98! I got the last boxed one but there is one left on display if anyone nearby is looking for one. Time to build a new router table I think :D Cheers Mike

Hi, I have just changed my job and the kind folk I worked with gave me an Axminster gift voucher. I have been thinking of getting a compressor and an air nailer for a while and wondered if anyone had experience, good or bad of Axminster AWC25HP Compressor...
