Hi all, Haven't posted on here for awhile, though I do browse from time to time. I've been meaning to learn Sketchup for quite awhile. Finally, I took the time to start getting my head around it. Here's my first attempt. It's a bit basic and blocky; but I think I'm starting to get the...

Anyone going to London for the Tour Prologue or to Kent for Stage 1? I'm bringing my sons and maybe my daughter down for the weekend. Probably going to camp. Anyone have any ideas where I might find a campground, that would be fairly near easy public transport into London? Also fairly...

I've got a Multico 9" 2HP single phase cast iron planer (needs guard). £200. Also a Ridgid 110v 13" x 6" thicknesser. £100. The planer is crated up in preparation for shipping to the U.S. with my household items, and the thicknesser is about to be crated up, so if I don't get the above...

Hi All, I've got some wood etc. for sale. If you're within reasonable distance, you might be interested. I need to get rid of it in the next couple weeks. I'd rather see it put to use than go to waste. So make me a silly offer, and it's yours. It's not a huge amount, but enough to make...

I've just sold my house!!! \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ (Well, I've accepted a verbal offer anyway. Here's hoping all goes smoothly from this point forward.) Only been on the market for less than a week. :D Brad

As promised, I've started to sort out what I'm selling. Here's a list of items available immediately. I will start another thread soon for items available in about 3 months. All machinery collection only. Power tools collect, or I will post at actual cost . Makita 1902 power planer. Very...

Hi all, We're planning to move Stateside in the next few months. So, I will probably have a number of tools/machinery and even some wood for sale --Oh, and a house too. Before anyone gets too excited, my best stuff is going with me, including my Startrite saw. However, my Multico planer will...

Anyone going to the Scottish Woodworking Show? I've been for the past three years, but was quite disappointed, particularly last year. Had not planned on visiting this year. But since then, I have discovered this fine forum, and thought I might attend, if any members plan on attending. Brad

Has anyone any experience of this sander? I know Elu is generally well respected. But this sander looks a bit unwieldy. Not that I use a handheld belt sander a lot; but there are times when one comes in handy. Opinions? Brad

Anyone use these? How do they compare to say a Leuco or Leitz? Brad

No, not a present I was given. My favourite present I gave. :D A dollshouse for my daughter. I only started it about a week before Christmas. I've been threatening to make one for a few years. I was painting it on Christmas Eve :roll:. Only one coat so far, and lots of work left to do...

For anyone in West Central Scotland, I just found a cheap sharpening service. Scottish Saw Services. I've been using R&J for the past couple years, their prices have for the most part been reasonable (about £7-8 for a circular blade) but they seem to charge a bit high for anything else. The...

I have a couple of electrical questions with regard to my planer. I have a multico planer with a 2hp Clarke motor and a 10-16 amp starter switch (set to 10 amp.) It has been periodically blowing 13 amp plug fuses on startup (only ever on startup i.e. never due to taking too heavy a cut.) It...

Photos of a kitchen I recently finished: Brad

Read this guy's (not so)small print. :shock: How did he get to be a "GOLD Power Seller," by speaking to potential customers that way? Brad

Does anyone know about balancing radiators? My question is, if you have TRV's, is there any point in balancing the system? i.e. withTRV's fitted, should all lockshield valves be fully open; or should it still be balanced just the same? This is all assuming, of course, that your 17 year old son...

Would anyone near me, be interested in sharing the cost of one of these bundles?

I am trying to finish a kitchen by Monday. I have scratched one of the worktops. They are very shallow, fine scratches. Caused by something on the base of my router. (This despite a protective plastic covering on the laminate.) They are glossy black (plain black). Any ideas how to rectify...

Here's some more pics: A corner cabinet made for a customer. Oak in this colour is all I seem to be making right now. A close-up of some of the detail. An oak mantelpiece made for SWMBO. I also made the inglenook and hearth for the fireplace. It had been filled in by a previous...
