I am in the process of finishing a rifle stock and would like to put my logo on it. The stock is laminated birch ply, the laminations have been dyed using water based dyes. I don't feel tool confident at trying to dremel the design into my stock, I am worried that trying to stencil and dye the...

I am currently building a wooden bodied car based on a Suzuki chassis from a set of plans by a noted designer in the kit car / rebody world. Having finished the chassis refurb I am about to put the plywood floor in place. He suggests undersealing the body with a mixture of PVA glue and exterior...

Just a quick post. I see that Lidl are offering a few tools up next Thursday. One is a combination cutter, a bit like a Dremel Trio. The only thing is I can't see any mention of the collet size. Has anyone had one of these previously who might know this information?

I am about to turn four full sheets of aluminium into various pieces of a kitcar (it is actually a rebody ) Having used a jigsaw last time with some issues after using a nibbler the previous time (I'm still pulling metal shrapnel out of various locations) The jigsaw always leaves an edge that...

I simply have to put up a post on this subject after spending far too much time trying to find an answer to the conundrum that is printing 1:1 in sketchup. The problem has often been mentioned and the answers are at best a bodge job and judging by Sketchup 2013 unless you want to cough up £400...

It isn't the finest piece on here but I am proud of it. I was gifted this thicknesser, it was a bit broken at the time. One of the bevel gears was stripped and this stopped it adjusting. I bought some replacement gears off fleabay and attached them. Once it was rebuilt it was slightly out of...

Please tell me I'm not the first person to glue themselves into their clothes :oops:

I was kindly given a thicknesser a while back on permanent load for a little job I did. Whilst old it was working well apart from the depth adjusment. It turned out that a set of plastic bevel gears had worn out which I duly replaced. I thought I had got them aligned reasonably well but they are...

An age ago I promised to buy myself some DVD's on the machinations and black arts of table sawing, a subject I appeared to be losing at. I took delivery on a nice Record Power table saw, then paid a million pounds to get the workshop wired up by someone who knew what they were doing. I then had...

This is probably the daftest question ever but please bear with me. I went to Paskins today to spend loads of dosh on a table saw and became mesmerised at the wood turning demonstrations. I dismissed the notion of trying it as I have a disability which makes me very left handed. My right arm...

I am very new to woodwork and splashed out on a 10" tablesaw. I'm not sure if it is good etiquette to mention names but it may be applicable to getting an answer. It is a Charnwood W616. The saw works wonderfully on plywood and stuff up to 25mm but it really struggles on anything much thicker...

Hi, I knocked up a jig to make box joints using a 1/2" cutter. I haven't tried making box joints before but a space in my workstation was begging for a drawer and I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to try. The problem is that the router is ripping the hell out of the wood and not...
