Hi Guy's, Am I missing something, is there a way (other than block of wood jammed in to blade) to lock the blade support shaft whilst removing the shaft nut? I can't see anything obvious. Thanks in advance.

I've just bought a Startrite 275 saw, however it has no fence :( Looking at a few spares suppliers, it looks like a Startrite original will be as much as I paid for the saw (not such a bargain). I've found this option - http://www.yandles.co.uk/kreg-precision ... nce/p16100 which looks quick to...

I'm looking for good quality draw runners that are **not** made of pressed tin that have a max life expectancy of a year or so. I need the runners to extend by about 450mm -600mm from their fixed position. Hopefully if I get some with a good weight carrying capacity, they'll last 20 plus years...

Some years a go I purchased from a company who now call themselves Gibbs & Dandy some preformed plywood intended for the bottom step on domestic stair cases as shown in my basic sketch below; Its made from 8 or 10mm ply with a reasonably good natural finish. Approximately 250mm wide by about...

Hi guys, I've been considering getting a new saw bench, however now think my existing one would be okay (far more robust than many tin constructed units), however my biggest issue with it is the lack of a decent fence. I have been 'G' clamping a straight edge to it for years, but takes time to...

I've had a few cheapo electric planers over the past 30+ years, all have done the job I bought them for, and treated them as disposal. However I'm thinking of getting something better. My biggest issue with the cheapo planers is that they have rotors similar to the image below The replacement...

I've just acquired a large chunk of oak (8" x 8" x 96"), however from poor storage the one end has bits of fungus growth. The timber seems to be sound. I intend using this for a oak framed porch on a traditional timber framed cottage (as is black & white cottage), so will be exposed to the...

I've just had a new oak stairs fitted, and on the tops of the posts are large balls as per the photo below (that's if I've managed to attach it correctly). To match, I've had some 50mm (2") oak dowels made for curtain poles together with custom made brackets. Now I was wondering if anyone knew...

I have a motorhome in my yard that needs some attention to some doors. The basic construction of the motorhome consist of a white fibreglass skin of about 2-3mm, then a ladder framework made from 40mm x 30mm white pine to give a wall thickness of about 40mm. In between the plywood framing is...

Good morning. Can someone kindly advise where I can obtain (in the UK) some kitchen cabinet hinges that allow the door to open to about 180 degree's please? I'll try and add a photo of an example. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer :)

I'm making some changes in a motorhome. The furniture board used in this motorhome is a light wood colour (and is stable as far as colour is concerned). I have made some changes using ordinary pine which is currently the same colour as the furniture board. As most people know, pine will colour...
