I have over a hundred copies of F&C dating back to October 2010 with by the looks of it only issue 183 missing and they are in good condition. I'd like £60 ono for the lot. Postage and packing would be £8 or you would be welcome to collect from Liphook, Hampshire.

Please help before I break something. I'm trying do a simple cupboard in SU and want to add a couple of knobs from the 3D library - one like this for example. I can download it and copy and paste it into my drawing but for the life of me I can't accurately position it on the face of a door. Any...

Maybe I should have chosen a different timber :lol:

I was given this at the weekend. I gather from the stamp that it dates from between 1860 and 1871 which was when Samuel Tyzack was at 8 Old Street. Interesting that the stamp actually says Old St Road - nice to see that people cocked things up 150 years ago and just put up with the...

Got my automatic renewal this week - basic package for me and my wife - £92. Seemed expensive so looked online - £65 for the same thing. Phoned up to enquire why as a loyal customer I'm charged nearly 50% more and given a load of bullsh*t about it being a better package (free legal advice, up to...

I ordered a Surfix Kit after the good reviews on the other side and some spare pads with the intention of trying it with a tinted Omso wood wax - claret in case you were wondering. The pads arrived but thanks to UPS the kit hasn't - yet. As I needed to start finishing 6 large tables and 10...

Would someone be able to turn me a length of oak - only about 200mm long and 25mm diameter - as I need to plug some holes that I drilled in an oak gate post for some fixing bolts? I would obviously be happy to cover any costs including materials labour and postage. I do however need it fairly...

I got a letter today informing me that from 3rd January 2012 my van would not be up to the emissions standard for London. The zone is almost everywhere within the M25. Blister wrote about it back in 2008 but it wasn't implemented then for van only for larger commercial vehicles. Fortunately for...

I'm selling off some items that I don't really use - nothing wrong with them and it will help towards the holiday fund! 1. Festool Gecko Dosh Set Used but in good condition, with the parts needed to connect it to a guide rail. Please note, this doesn't work on mdf. List price £65.68 £30 +...

I've just finished making some storage drawers and cupboard which will match a TV unit that I made for the same customer This was design that was agreed on with the customer To start, I had to extend the newel post down to floor level and then make a plinth for the units to sit on. I...

I need to buy a decent 1/4 sheet palm sander and would be interested to hear what peoples experience is with them. I'd be particularly interested to know if those who have the festool think it worth 3 - 4 times as much as the others. I'm tending towards the metabo as I have their SXE 425 ROS or...

In response to an ongoing discussion I thought it might be informative to try and ascertain how professional cabinet makers (those woodworkers for whom their main source of income is derived from woodworking) cut mitres. So if you fit that category please answer the following question: If you...

After all sorts of problems and delays I have finally managed to get this job finished. In addition to what I designed the customer added an extra cupboard which is 1150mm wide and has fixed shelving - 4th and 5th picture. I think in all that it has taken me about twice as long as I had...

Whilst waiting for a delivery today I decided that I would remake my drying rack which can be seen in this thread. The main problem with it was that it took up too much space and the arms weren't rigid enough. I liked the idea of using the plastic conduit for the arms so got a 2 lengths of...

I have to make up 9 large drawers for a bedroom suite that I'm about to start. The drawer boxes will have machine cut dovetailed oak sides. They will also have concealed runners which fit flush to the bottom of the drawer. This means that I can't use drawer slips and I can only really route a...

To make room for my new bandsaw I need to sell my old one. Before I put it on ebay I thought I'd advertise it here first. It is in fairly good condition and has an Axminster fence fitted to it and an ikea work light wired in. As shown below, it can rip up to 6" of oak without too many problems...

Has anyone fitted the Grass Dynamic NT plus full extension push to open runners that Hafele sell? (link) If you have, do you know if you have to buy the lock, adaptor and connecting levers for the drawer to work as these bits cost more than the full extension runners :cry: Are there cheaper...

I received an email today from Ian John (formerly of Dragon Saw) to say that he is back in business trading as Tuffsaws. For more information contact Ian on [email protected]. Steve

I'm selling my Osbourne EB3 mitre gauge as I no longer use it. It is a fantastic piece of engineering and if you have a table saw without a sliding carriage it makes a great upgrade on the basic mitre fence supplies with most saws. It comes complete including the manual and is in good condition...

Having been inspired by some of the beautiful tissue boxes people have made I decided that I'd like to make a unique gift for my wife and my daughter for Christmas. I started out with a piece of mahogany, which I cut to size. The edges were planed square on a shooting board, and the top...
