Hi I have a teak veneered G Plan glassed top oval coffee table 1960s vintage. Having seen one on e-bay described as solid teak I was going to sand it. First of all though I checked with G plan who were very helpful locating original brochures where it described it as being teak veneered. The...

Hi Not sure if this is the correct place to ask but can anyone recommend someone to hang 8 internal doors (they are good quality and in the case of a fire door heavy)? The reason I am asking is that I think I may have been let down by the guy that said he would hang them for me (he is not...

Hi I would have liked to use Poly oil as have used it recently and was impressed with the ease of which it went on and the resultant finish. However, the finishing instructions on the Wickes doors states that oil should not be used. I prefer a mat or satin finish. What finish would you use...

Hi FWIW First of all anyone considering making their own router table should consider the Jessem 2nd quality Rout-R-Top @ £20 less 10% plus free carriage!!

Hi Does anyone know if the sip sliding carriage will fit the Fox F36-530 10'' cabinet saw? The fox is as far as I know a clone of the SIP or vice versa. I have never got on with the sliding carriage that comes with the Fox and rarely use it, perhaps that is my problem. Cheers Con

Hi Worktop is in situ. I have to make the existing cutout 480 x 950 larger to 492 x 982 with 15mm radius at corners (sink is Blanco Classic 6S). I cannot extend length to the left (dishwasher beneath) or the front which I would prefer, as existing cutout is actually touching the faceframe. So...

Hi I have a problem with the sanding sheets (80 grit) in that the backing comes adrift, ie it remains on the soleplate base but detaches from the sanding sheet. This has happened on three sheets so far (the first ones that I have used), the surface of the sheet is not worn and is OK, but of...

Hi FWIW I was on the e-Bay Axminster site on Thursday and came across a bandsaw that looked similar in size to their 4300 model but trade rated as opposed to industrial. The price at 637GB with free delivery appeared to be attractive so I phoned their technical section to ask a couple of...

Hi I have prepared new skirting board for my daughters terraced house (200 years old) using the above method. This is the first time I have done this, whilst the scribe joints are not 100 percent perfect they still look a pretty good fit (I took a lot of time doing them using the mitre saw to...

Hi Just purchased an Osborne EB3 as could not resist the sale price. It appears to be very well made. As I have only calibrated the very basic mitre fence that came with the Fox Table saw (I think I did this OK). I am a little more nervous in the case of the EB3 as I don't want to mess anything...
