Bought a M42 bandsaw blade from Workshop Heaven in October last year.I'm a hobby user so I was surprised when it failed at the weld last week whilst cutting some 20 mm Hard Maple. Messaged Matthew asking for his thoughts and he arranged for a free replacement. Quality of service I feel worth...

My son is going to Canada soon for a holiday (Halifax area). Can anyone recommend somewhere he can pick up a few tools from my 'essential equipment' list. I was thinking in particular about a couple of Veritas planes.

I'm making a mirror frame and have rebated the back for the mirror and plywood backing. Should I use some silicon sealer to bed the mirror on?

My son-in-law called today with my granddaughter, who is 2 in May. As I was in the workshop he popped in to say hello. My granddaughter was happily marching around ( no machines running) when she pointed at the table saw, the planer/thicknesser and declared TOYS, TOYS, TOYS[b]. It's no good -...

I have recently bought some wood from Arnold Laver and thought it may be of general interest if I passed on how much it cost. I ordered via the phone and all boards were 'random' length and width. This generally means 8ft long and 6" wide, but some of the Cherry was 10". Cherry (American) £45.5...

I'd had a really bad day and, since I had been wanting one for a long time, I did a spot of retail therapy and ordered a new Hammer N4400 bandsaw. Delivery was quoted as 1 to 2 weeks (it was coming from Austria). After a week I gave them a ring and was told it would arrive the following Friday...

I'm building a bed for my son and am looking for the fittings that attach to the end grain part of the long rail. The receiving part is morticed into the bed posts and the rail part hooks into it. I've tried Isaac Lord and Woodfit but they don't seem to stock this fitting. Can anyone suggest a...

After buying the new Scheppach mortiser at Harrogate I went to collect it this morning (NMA isn't too far away from me). They bring out the boxes, I open the boot, oops it doesn't fit in. Don't worry says the very nice man from NMA (I think it was Boyd), I've got an estate. In the mortiser goes...
