Hi. I have a vintage King Klik pop riveter model T40. Very well made. But I'm missing a nozzle because it was lent to uncle Normam and it did not come back with all the nozzles. I want to go ahead and replace all the nozzles I do have. So, can I buy any make of spare pop rivet nozzle? Thanks. Rich

Hi. I'm a complete newbie. I'm wanting to be able to drill through the axial centre of a one meter length of round dowel/wood. The drill of course would fit in the tailstock (I'd need to modify my current tailstock BTW). I'd need to be using at least a 500mm long drill. So, how is the task...

Hi. I realise that I need to buy a chuck for my newly acquired wood lathe, so I can cut off the ends of my work pieces. I'm thinking to buy a 4 jaw independent chuck (1500mm 6") by HSW as sold on Ebay for £71. Any thoughts? Thanks. Rich

Hi. I've just bought an inexpensive lathe to turn wood into dowel. I've never done any wood turning before. My thinking is, I need only tools that will make dowel, and that I ought to buy tools of some decent quality. So, can anyone here please recommend some tools I coud buy that will do the...

Hi. What is the supply chain (sort of what does it look like) for a small-scale cabinet/furniture maker? Can you identify any examples of wood suppliers that would act as supply chain? Thanks.

HI. I'm a newbie at woodwork. Lets say that you wanted to make, as a commercial venture in a small workshop, boxes 150mm height. And you decided to use dove - tail joints at the corners (dove-tail considered most appropriate, but other similar joints may be adequate). What machine (or labour...

Hi. I'm not a woodworking hobbyist. I'm trying to figure out how to get a cheap hinged box about 38cm (long) x 28cm (wide) x 9.5cm (deep) - inside dimentions. I'm going to make a near copy of a styrofoam tray used for holding electronic components, and make 6 "electronic kits". I have parts for...
