    Little Oak Cabinet

    You can cast as much bait on the waters as you like Mr Butler, it won't have any effect now...if you kept up with your reading you will have seen that that i've done with UKW and all it's machinations, final and complete. I was only notified by someone else on another far more pleasant (where...

    European woodworking show

    I've said elsewhere in this thread that CHT have done a great job and it would be a good show if you've never been to one...what's rude or derogatory about that? It's just that for me, personally and myself I won't be going...period. I also won't be posting any more on UKW. I reckon my time...

    European woodworking show

    Normandy, having a look at the 'D' day beaches and visiting a forum member from TWH - Rob

    Workshop Heaven...it's that man again!

    Earlier on in July, I met up with Matt from WH at Pete Sefton's bash in Upton-on-Severn, where I asked him to evaluate some 3M sandpaper with a view to getting some in as a stock item, but in the meantime Matt has sent me, completely unbidden, a couple of sheets of extra-fine, foam backed AO...

    European woodworking show

    The sarcasm is noted and to be expected. I have gone to some lengths to explain why I won't be going, but just for your benefit so you completely understand I'll say it again: 1. It's a 300+ mile round trip in a day...too far! 2. Many of the exhibitors I've seen before at other shows 3...

    Bizarre, innovative or just plain daft?

    I've had a go at this and it's really hard work. Turning dry, seasoned wood is tough going...when it's wet, squidgy and much softer it's far easier- Rob

    Little Oak Cabinet

    I don't know of anything that's quite as good or as soft (only my opinion btw) as my favourite Alna...Briwax is certainly a lot harder to apply and polish off again - Rob

    Invasive Plant (garden)

    That's a good tip. I was using some SBK weedkiller the other evening to destroy something coming through the fence at the back of the garden...the weedkiller seemed to be running off the leaves - Rob

    Little Oak Cabinet

    Alna Teak Wax....not made for a looooooooong time. I bought a few tins of the stuff at college in the late 70's when teak furniture was 'in vogue' and still haven't opened one of them. It's a really nice soft wax that's very easy to apply and polish off again - Rob

    Same here, repro stuff isn't for me - Rob

    what to make for A-level project?

    In my view, what you need to do is to look very closely at the requirements of your particular 'A' Level...all the suggestions here, without doubt made with the very best of intentions aren't going to help you all that much and may well confuse the issue. Google is your friend!! - Rob...ex CDT...

    I do not like titebond

    Everbuild D4 is excellent stuff...I pay less than a fiver a litre - Rob

    Chisel Handles

    The comment was made in jest Jim :lol: ...you should know that by now :mrgreen: Seriously, elm is one of my favourites and I especially like the wych elm because of that lovely green colouration that seems to run through the boards. I've got one or two bits with that sort of colouration in the...

    Why buy from AXMINSTER TOOLS?

    What you can be absolutely, cast-iron, 24c gold, certain of is that this discussion is being very closely monitored at Axminster - Rob

    Little Oak Cabinet

    Yep...all sorts of scabby oddments salvaged from under the bench...look at the mis-match in the front panel and the sides are like that as well. The back (although you can't see it) is band sawn veneers from what was left over when the main bits of the carcase were made. No point in using...

    Little Oak Cabinet

    The one I did for F&C a while ago Paul, was entirely by hand, it was bl%*dy hard going...this was done with a few passes with mid sized Wealen cutter in the router table and was a lot, lot easier. The hinges are identical to the Brusso ones that CHT sells but they come with a full and...

    European woodworking show

    CHT have done a great job, let's be fair, but I've seen a large majority of those demonstrators at other shows and would only give them cursory look. If I lived much closer then I might be tempted, but as Paulm and Rod have said, it's too far and too expensive... ...and having just looked at...

    European woodworking show

    Given as an example Paul...it's advertised as a 'European' show - Rob

    European woodworking show

    Absolutely Paul and as far as I can make out, not a plank of timber for sale either :( As GS also pointed out, where are all the foreigners from across the water? Dicktum and Dieter Schmid from Germany say? - Rob
