    Woodwork, noise and neighbours

    Interested to see this topic as i had a run in with my neighbour about a year ago, it was 8.45 in the morning on a weekday. I work on the principle that 8.30 on a weekday and Saturday and not on a Sunday. If your neighbour had work being done in his house by a builder he would expect to start...

    Kitchen wood worktops

    We have a Beech (i think) wood worktop, it's about 6/7 years old now. It has had quite regular cleans an re-oils with Tung oil. Is there a better oil for this, i have seen boiled linseed oil recommended but then i read it is for outside furniture. It seems there are as many views on this as...

    Tung oil versus Dainish oil

    Thanks for the replies, i looked at the chair about 45 later and it was dry. Like i said the wood has been starved of any finish for years i should think. I have not used wirewool, i have use one of those nylon type abrasives, it states it is the same as 000 wirewool. Going by what you say i...

    Chair repair

    Thanks for the replys, i will make a strip and glue it in, cheers. I was hoping that once the wood has had a couple of coats of oil that it would close the small ones up. It is cleaning up quite well except for the water stains, even some of those fade after a bit of sanding. I can't understand...

    Bandsaw motor problem

    Capacitors can fail but still look in good condition, they can be tested but not easily at home. You could look for a company that would test them bit i think their charge may equal the cost of new ones.
