Good evening, I have been offered -as a gift - a single piece of mahogany which originally came from Belize, holding a house up and is about 80 years old. It is 15" x 15" in section and is 10ft long. Does anyone have any indication of how much it could be worth, as I would like to give the old...

Evening, I'm looking for a edge finishing strip to fit round oval penetrations in a wooden cable ducting, about 4mm thick. I've found circular grommets, but what I used to use, I can't find anymore somehow. It was a long strip, somewhat akin to stripping a cable neatly and using the sheath as an...

Good evening, A site I haven't seen mentioned, which might be of interest, is: http://go-2-school.com Also, there are some podcasts available either as iTunes feeds - RSS feeds, or just watch the movie! Hope someone finds them interesting, Colin

Good evening, I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between the various TS55 saws. There's: TS 55 EBQ-Plus-FS GB TS 55 EBQ-Plus GB TS 55 Q-Plus-FS GB TS 55 EQ-Plus GB and finally TS 55 Q-Plus GB I've even looked on the Festool site, but it doesn't mention explicitly what the...

Good evening, As the heading says, does anyone know of an online retailer for ball transfer inserts suitable for furniture? These are to be used for some roll-away units which will have a very limited headroom; there isn't enough of it available to fit conventional casters! Many thanks, Colin

Good evening, I've been given a very large tool chest, Victorian, I believe. The inside is finished in burr elm and is in reasonable condition for it's age. One the outside, what appears to be the original surface has a couple of patches thats had something like paint stripper spilled on it...

As the title says; SHMBO has decided she would like to have a go at some "bandsaw boxes". I would think I would be better running some rough-sawn through the planer-thicknesser and building up the thickness to the correct size, that would show the end-grain on both sides, so is a major...

Good evening, I've looked at this saw and the condition is excellent, but before I put in a bid, do you think this saw is OK? and what do you think the upper limit should be? Many thanks for any advise, Colin

Good evening, Without going the L.N. route (not feasible financially) which couple of hand planes would you recommend for starters? Also, I see a few Disston saws on e-Bay for what appears to be a reasonable price, would these be a good way to begin and if so which ones? I've just retired...

Evening everyone, SWMBO wants a matching pair of wall-hung display cabinets to show her collection of antique hand-bags. I reckon they need to be approx 3ft high, by 2ft wide or so. As they require glass fronts, I'm concerned about the weight of the glass on what will be quite shallow bases...

Good evening, I've read about the above product for finishing in quite a few articles and it gets good reviews. Could anyone tell me if it's available in the UK and if not, what is the UK equivalent product? Many thanks, Colin
