The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi. I thought I saw an eye-doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian . She was only a whisky-maker, but he loved her still. A rubber-band pistol was...

I am planning a very small extension to our Kitchen - just 80cm out. I don't really want a flat roof and prefer to use a tiled roof to match the existing one. Unfortunately, the existing roof is 22.5 degree slope, the minimum for the particular tile (Marley Ludlow) used. I need the extension...

I am planning to construct a ledge and braced gate to fit into a 1 metre wide arched opening. I need to maximise the opening width so was wondering if suitable hinges could be fitted directly to the brick work, avoiding the use of a frame. Any suggestions very welcome. Thanks, John

I purchased a Rutlands Raised Panel Router Set some time ago when they were on sale. My son asked if I would make a toy chest as a Christening Present for my twin Grandsons so I decided this was the time to try out the router set. The Chest size was 920 x 330 x 580mm high and the material...

Is there any reason why the riving knife has to be higher than the blade? On my W650, it's about 20mm above the top of the blade. I want to modify it so it is level with the blade and not have to remove it when trenching. I asked Charnwood why it was above the blade, they said it was because of...

I have just had my Metabo ROS serviced. The sanding head now spins round fast until I place it in contact with the work piece. I am sure there should be some kind of braking on this...would appreciate confirmation of this before I complain to the service agent. Thanks, John

I have an oak coffee table finished with danish oil. In spite of my pleas to always use coasters, somehow a damp glass was left on it, leaving a ring stain. I have removed the stain by sanding and have re oiled it. Can anyone recommend a finish that I can apply over the existing danish oil...

I have been asked to build a 4 drawer filing cabinet to match existing Oak Desk. Unless I fix the cabinet to the wall, I will need to fit interlocking, anti tip slides. I cannot find any information or suppliers about these, any help please? Thanks John

I noticed an Ad in British Woodworking for a new timber merchant between Farnham and Guildford called Surrey Timbers, so being local(ish) I checked them out. They certainly have a decent range, including exotics. It was s**s law that the one species I needed (beech) they did not have but did...

I have been asked to make an oak backing frame which has a stainless steel plaque screwed to it. (30cm x 10cm) It will be displayed outside in an exposed position. Any recommendations for the finish on the oak? Thanks John

This video was made in the Antwerp , Belgium Central (Train) Station on March 23, 2009, with no warning to the passengers passing through the station. At 8:00 am a recording of Julie Andrews singing 'Do, Re, Mi' begins to play on the public address system. As the bemused passengers watch...

When fitting out our kitchen, the position of corner cabinet made it very difficult to access the water stop valve. After some research I came across a product called Surestop. It's a remote water switch that connects the valve to a switch via a flexible pipe that resembles normal lighting...

Not sure if this should be posted under General Woodworking but here goes.... I plan to replace my front and back doors with new hardwood doors. I would like to fit "Yale" type locks (Night Latches?), but both with identical keys. I am totally confused, searched the net, most results are...

There have been a number of comments regarding the legality of Festool's control of pricing. Australia have a simular issue with Festool, but it appears they have taken some action. The following link should take you to the ACCC judgement that imposed fines and required Festool to change their...

Does anyone know of a German Festool dealer who will sell/ship to the UK? There is a big difference between the German list price and UK list price, even at todays exchnage rates. Even with the shipping cost, I think buying direct from Germany could save about 20%. The new Festool MFT3 has a...
