I'm wondering if anybody here could point me in the direction of a company that provides carved corbels, pilasters, and paneling in kit form. It's for the overhaul of a pub bar. The client wants it to look like a traditional, slightly utilitarian, Victorian style bar front. I'm trying to avoid...

^ tell me about it. Means that another 2 chairs will be able to be used though so cheaper than a new table. @ dzj: kinda like extending a floor joist just with glue and screws instead of paslode nails. Think that might work. Thanks.

A total replacement of the aprons isn't really an option. Would the dowels not help to strengthen the joint up?

My father-in-law has asked with some help extending the aprons of his dining room table by approx 50mm (on the long side of the table). To do this I was planning on cutting the table frame in half and then inserting in a 50mm long piece of oak on both sides to extend the side apron. I was going...

I'd be really interested in attending this year as well. Wanted to come last year but it clashed with my wedding!

Has anybody ever used (or can recommend) a commercial jig maker that will manufacture small quantities of custom jigs? They're not too complicated (non standard layout of shelf pins and cup hinge holes). I could make them myself from ply but they need to be metal as they'd be getting a lot of...

Obviously the industry has taken a battering in recent years but I was wondering if anybody hear is aware of any high volume furniture manufacturers that are still alive and trading in the UK currently? I'm not looking for small joinery shops or bespoke cabinet makers but larger scale...

Using the underside of the top run of the pallets should be okay though right? Certainly less chance of stones and dirt etc

I'm looking for some advice on dimensioning pallet wood; I'm making some shelves and cutting the pallets down to size and shape and over cladding (gluing then pinning) a piece of ply. My question is; I want a uniform thickness to ensure as flat a surface as possible - but only want to reduce...

Check your PMs! It was time sensitive

Portable as in to move it around the workshop

Right, after MUCH deliberation these are the two choices for a portable table saw for my workshop. Which one do you think I should go for? Both are priced about the same. Heard some bad things about the fence on the metabo which is making me lean towards the Bosch..... Help me make up my mind!

Does anybody nearer to, or actually in London offer one day things like this?

Am i right in assuming that stacking them together and using the router on them would require a router table??

Well I don't have a bandsaw and I need to be able to apply adhesive edge banding to it so it needs to be a square finish. I've got quite a few to do (20ish) so handtools aren't ideal.

I'm assuming a router? In which case, any idea? Would I need a jig? The material is walnut veneered MDF or chipboard

For those of you who have seen my thread in the buying advice forum...this is what I've been reduced too! Due to space constraints I am unable to purchase a P/T and don't have the ££££ available at the moment to buy the hand plane that I want (woe is me). That being the case, I was wondering...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Looks like I've got some more thinking to do. That chopping board christmas present looks like it won't be getting done in time :-(

Same constraints apply unfortunatly. I use an MFT top for all my cutting needs on top of two saw horse. I haven't really got any more space than that. I did look at No 7 planes but they're crazy expensive!

In an ideal world I'd like to purchase a planer thicknesser however, I rent at the moment and don't have a shed that I can use. I have a work room (on teh 1st floor) that I can cover in dust. That being the case I can't realistically buy huge cast iron beasts. That being the case is a hand held...
