    Spindle Moulders!

    After lots of nudging by a few members I will attempt with hopefully lots of input from other users to help highlight why Soindle Moulders are a good machine for anyone taking woodworking seriously. Firstly, I think that a good book that should be read and reread and thoroughly understood...

    Who makes the best ball bearing 3” and 4” hinges these days?

    The title says it all. I bought a load of 3” Zoo hinges, but the play in most of the hinges is ridiculous. I have a hinge fitting problem and thinking of moving some doors to 4” hinges. So hence the interest in both sizes.

    Home Lift Installation

    I hope this might be of interest to some! We are in the process of moving to what in all likelihood is our last home! It rather takes my breath away to say that, as it makes me feel far older than my actual years! So, we are trying to ensure that both our potential needs and those of my elderly...

    Sweeper advise / which one help

    Im looking for a sweeper for a long entrance way that’s sided by trees and is an 11 degree slope. It’s around 3/4 km long and gets covered in leaves, pine cones, pine needles and the usual rubbish. I was wondering if a Green Machine 400 series would be suitable. Looking at secondhand not new...

    Sold Fobco 7 Eight Drill

    We lost a good friend recently, Bill, who was a genius with his hands and @Sideways and I have been asked to dispose of his workshop contents by his family.

    Tiling Standards blob or full bed? Help

    I’ve a problem, which could be a big problem! I’ve had a few bathrooms tiled with large tiles that weigh circa 17+KG / m2. I think the British standard for tiling require wall tiles to have full bed adhesion rather than the blob method if the tiles exceed 70% of the weight bearing capability of...

    Wadkin BGS 12 with all the bits Facebook

    I came across this handsome saw today in Face book. I’ve never seen one with all the accessories for sale, and that’s after I’ve 10 years buying and selling ‘old iron’. If my new workshop was finished and I didn’t have a backlog of stuff to keep me busy I’d buy it and fully restore it. The paint...

    India’s successful Moon Landing

    I have to say that with a budget of just £73 million, they have achieved an unbelievable success. Well done India. I just wish they had spent it on their own population to help banish the huge poverty in their country. The UK would not then have a need to send £33.4 million aid this financial...

    Very very Nice Bling Safe Sliding Saw by Altendorf.

    I just love the concept of this saw. The saw guard system is IMO far superior to anything I’ve seen before, eg the Felder / Saw Stop system. I can’t wait to see it it real life. If I were in the market for a new slider, Altendorf would be top of my list with this one feature.

    WiFi extenders

    I need to make sure at my new home that wifey can get access to the internet at all four corners of the house. It’s a large house and the options I think are either installing cat 6 or 8 wiring to Wi-Fi hubs (think that’s the terminology) or using something like the BT discs to create a mesh...

    My Journey into Retrofitting Underfloor Heating

    We recently bought a new to us house. It’s probably our last house before either a wooden overcoat or something worse……an old persons home! Anyway, the original house was built in the 50’s and over the last couple of years was completely modernised and extensively extended. The walls are all...

    Just a quick question, pipes running through the floor between floors, do they need insulating according to building standards?

    Festool Garbage?

    Firstly great video Peter, but boy, talk about a lemon product, well in my opinion. Peter does a good job trying to extol the features of this piece of hay is in my opinion junk. I know, I will have upset the devotees to the brand, but seriously, why, just why would you buy one?
