Hi - I’d like the picture framing and chair makers workshop if still free? Cheers, John

Hi, is it still available? I’d like it if so. Cheers, John

I have, most recently with Elm and brown Oak. Good choice, will plane for you if required, and he's a nice bloke. I think all of his timber is from within 25 miles, and he does the lot from tree to boards himself. I missed most of the last open day due to local flooding. By the time I'd found...

eek, I don't know what to say, but I'll start with sorry. I check the forums every day, to the point of addiction. However, I didn't spot a reply, and added to that I didn't receive any emails telling me I had one. After that I completely forgot I'd asked here (Axminster gave me an answer - the...

Hi, I've somehow managed to lose the set of insert rings/reducers that came with my Axminster Routalift. I've tried Axminster, who've been really helpful trying to track some down, but no joy yet. I think it may have been made by Jessem. My one is black with white writing - it says...

Thanks everyone. I started today doing it in sections. Cheers, John

Thanks for the replies so far.... I thought about doing it in sections, but I'm sure I read somewhere that this would lead to trouble. I've no idea where I read that (maybe I'm imagining it), or what could go wrong. Added to this, I don't have a big enough flat area to do the construction...

Thanks for the help and advice. John

Hi, thanks for replying. I thought I was asking a bit much. The treads aren't too bad, and they look nice bare. I think what I'm after is some kind of finish that won't wear too quickly, and that will enhance the grain. But I guess most importantly won't be slippy. Cheers, John

Hi, We're in the process of renovating a very old farm house, and I'm currently doing the entrance hall, stairs and landing. The stairs have been stripped of a few hundred years of grime and many coats coats of paint and are back to bare wood. Can anybody reccomend a finish that will...

I'll be visiting as well. John

Thanks for the replies and advice.

Hi, I've just made some new windows for my workshop. They are made out of some sort of untreated soft wood (from a local orange DIY super shed), and are double glazed. It's the first time I've done anything like this, and I'm not sure if I need to treat them with some sort of preservative...
