Any body else going to this show this week?

I would like to try my hand at pen turning but don't want to spend a lot of cash on something I may not take to. Anybody given up on pen turning and has supplies they would like to sell. My lathe has a head stock with a mt1 and a tail stock with a mt2. Regards Paul

I guess like most people I get bored with the ads on Youtube but today I was passing time on there and the ad from Workshop Heaven came up and I have to say that it is the only ad I have ever watched right through when given the chance to skip. I have nothing to do with Workshop Heaven and have...

I want to lay 1 large paving slab as a step into an outbuilding so I went to Wickes for a small bag of cement and a small bag of sharp sand and they didn't have either so I went to B&Q they had cement but no sharp sand.

I have come across a guy on youtube who takes slabs of wood cut from the full length of tree trunks that have splits in them almost running the full length. He fill the splits with resin and makes table tops from them. They look amazing but my question is won't the wood move over time and crack...

I think that I am bored. Having purchased a set of Vaunt diamond stones from ITS I have sharpened all my chisels and have quite enjoyed the process and it's now time to move on to the planes I thought it would be nice to have a screwdriver that fitted the screws . I searched through what I call...

I don't think I have ever seen this company ever mentioned on here before but I have to say that I wanted to buy an item that was available via a company that does get mentioned here but it was over £4 dearer plus postage I purchased it from Tyzack via their ebay shop and saved over £7 on an...

Just before lockdown my wife who seems to think she is responsible for all wildlife saw traces of us having hedgehogs in the garden and asked me to make a house. I made the house out of offcuts from under the bench as I guess we all have and although she was pleased with it (that is the main...

I have a stainless rule that is 600mm/24" it is metric on one face and inches on the other. It is 28.5mm wide and 1mm thick and I like the layout and would like to buy a 150mm/6", a 300mm/12" and a 1000mm/36" of the same style of layout, thickness and width so that I could use my ruler stop on...

Last Christmas instead of having the family look at me on Christmas day as has happened in the past saying we never know what to buy you so you have got more socks and a box of sweets I asked them all to club together and buy me a set of 3 Incra T rules and a couple of Incra pencils . I have to...

I have decided that the time has come to go through the tools I no longer use so that I can find the ones I do use. When going through a box of Surforms ( how many of them do you need?) I came across a Stanley No80 without a blade. I would like to bring this back into use can anybody advise...

Is there anybody left on scroll saw section of the forum that is interested in the old treadle saws from Hobbies?

I know that we have some old tool collectors on here and I have an old spokeshave body only no cap iron or blade that has been kicking around in my workshop for as long as i can remember that I would like to pass onto somebody who would appreicate it. I have done nothing to clean this up but it...

I needed to buy new blades for my old Kity pt 535 and having searched around on the internet as you do I placed an order for only 1 pair from the above company. They arrived on time and were better quality than I had expected for the price. With my order they sent a copy of their catalogue and...

I have a dw125 ras that I have owned from new and am very happy with. The only issue I have with it is that the rise and fall knob on the top has a lot of backlash in that if I for example raise the blade and then want to for example lower it by 1mm the knob goes 1/4 turn before the blade lowers...

I have a push bike that I would like to convert into an ebike . Does anyone have any experience of the conversion kits that are available.

I was tempted to go but taking into account the entry fee, car parking costs and the cost to get there I decided not to. Did I miss something special?

Sabre saw and Swiss made blades. Glue gun and glue sticks. Fantastic value for money from personal experience.

I have 2 old SB drills and many accessories that I used extensively about 35 years ago some of which belong to my late father. I know that l will never use them again but I can't bring myself to take them to the metal skip at the local tip. Is there any interest anywhere from collectors of...

Since the upgrade and big improvement to the forum the only thing I can't seem to work out how to do is quote a post in order to reply to that specific post. I look at the forum on my phone if that makes a difference.
