    Trimming a kitchen cabinet

    I've decided to replace the sheddy, ancient and really naff integrated cooker in the kitchen in the new house. I measured it up and while it seemed tight I thought I'd be ok. However I've now got the new cooker, removed the old one, chopped the work top and I'm still about 10mm short. My...

    Planing with a thicknesser

    I was wondering if anyone has ever tried this method for planing: http://www.getwoodworking.com/news/arti ... nesser/776 I don't have a big shed (12x8) and the floor isn't great, so even if I could get a decent P/T inside, it'd probably collapse the floor. There's also a lack of power. So...

    Freestanding climbing wall - price?

    I'm just trying to understand the pricing of a free standing climbing wall which has recently been launched. Obviously I'm all for people getting a good price for their work and making a decent living, but the company that make it (which I don't think is a big company) after hyping it up a bit...

    Secret Santa 2017?

    Is there any interest in a Secret Santa this year? I can't see any posts about anyone else taking it on again. I'd be totally happy if someone else does want to do that btw. But if there's interest, I'd be happy to run it again. The forums do seem quieter than they were, but there might...

    Axminster Saw Horses

    Just seen these[1] new saw horses on the axminster site. I've been making do with a workmate and a homebuilt saw horse (first thing I ever made) for cutting plywood with my tracksaw for a while now. I have lots of issues supporting sheets properly to make cuts and it's often a right sod...

    Roof ventilation

    I'm looking for some general DIY advice around roof ventilation. When we moved into our current Victorial terrace, we had a gap in the roofspace through to our neighbour (we're an end terrace) and a condition of the mortgage was that this was blocked up. This really screwed with the...

    Work Trousers - why the extra pockets?

    For a while I've been using a pair of ArborWear trousers I got for climbing as my 'work' trousers. Sadly I ripped the buttocks out of them whilst squirming through a narrow gap on a Gritstone route. So needing to do some DIY the following day I went and bought a pair of 'work trousers' from...

    UKW Secret Santa 2016

    If a mod could please put this as a temp sticky that'd be great. As many of you know there has been a fairly long tradition of there being a Secret Santa gift exchange here on UKW. For a long time Waka ran it. Last year SVB stepped up. But this year it's all gone a bit quiet. There was a...

    Painting the house

    So I've got some scaffolding up and did have a guy who was supposed to come in and paint the house. But he's been on other jobs and I'm seriously thinking that I could just do it myself. I'm generally fairly handy and done a lot of internal painting. I guess the principals are the same, get...

    Windsor rocking chair course recommendations

    I'm looking to do a Windsor chair (preferable a rocking chair) making course some time in the Autumn this year. October/November time ideally. Happy to travel anywhere in the UK, but if the course is near/in Wales that'd be ideal. Most courses seem to be a week long, so that's the length I'm...

    External door fittings

    I recently bought a new letterbox, escutcheon and handle for my front door from screwfix. All of them have rusted in 6 months. Not massively keen to buy door bits from screwfix again as it's all the same price and so in my mind it's all the same quality. Can anyone recommend a website which...

    Stacking bookcases

    As most of the current projects are drawing to a close the boss is badgering me to get started on some bookcases. I've been quite taken by the Monticello stacking bookcases as Mr Schwartz has talked about. Also on the same note, I've seen these Morgens Koch modular bookcases...

    Solar lights for shed?

    Anyone got a solar light for their shed/workshop? There's no chance of running power to the shed (least not permanently) and it's a handtools workshop, so I'm not fussed about lack of power. I came across this: http://www.thesolarcentre.co.uk/product ... 55-85.html Not cheap at £180...

    New Axminster shop in Cardiff

    I was thinking of trundling over to an Axminster shop to try out their bandsaws. So I went on the site to check out my nearest one and surprise, surprise, they're opening a store in Cardiff. November 18th is the opening date, according to facebook. Bit annoying as that's mid week, but...

    WIP Saw Bench ala Schwartz

    I've been meaning to make an extra saw horse for a while, but when I saw this 'sawbench' I thought it'd be more useful. Plans are here - http://www.popularwoodworking.com/proje ... nal_sawben I bought the wood this morning and I've been fixing the wall in the back garden so I've only got as...
