Think most people will be aware of this system, it’s done me well but I have upgraded to a Festool. I’d like it to go on to someone else if it’s of use. Here you have a complete kit to enable sawing and routing panel materials. The EZSmart system is an alternative to Festool which uses a base...

I posted a wanted for a benchtop planer/thicknesser... but ended up getting something a little larger! This was taken when I first got it... hence no outfeed table. I've spent a day setting up and adjusting and having a go with it but do have a couple of questions/problems. Both tables need...

Since buying my bandsaw from a forum member I've used the blade that was in it and had no need to adjust. This week though I've been struggling to keep the blade on the wheel no matter how I adjust so have taken it apart this morning. I think I've found the problem, a missing grub screw from...

Thanks to those who gave advice and answers to my questions in my other thread. After accidently listing the thread twice and also in General woodworking thought I'd start again in here with a WIP! So got a day off tomorrow to start on this, first things first get the wood! Simon offered his...

I've read many workbench builds on here and have stolen bits from all of them! I do still have a few questions though. 1. How deep should I make it? My existing Clarke bench is only 500mm deep including tool trough, 350mm without. I've always felt this a bit narrow, but is there a "standard"...

Clarke workbench for sale, making my own to better suit my needs. It's pretty basic but might be of use to someone. There wasn't any on eBay for price comparison but it cost about £115 so £50? Would need collecting!!

I'm having a clear out and have a couple of items I bought when starting out for sale. These are on ebay as I don't think they'll be good enough for anyone on here but here they are anyway! Firstly a lathe, this is the very basic Clarke model. I bought it for one project and it did that fine...

http://www.axminster.co.uk/src/froogle/product-Veritas-Wonder-Dogs-and-Pups-480180.htm Can someone tell me is this price for a single dog or pup? They look good but may be a little pricey for me at £28 each!

This was sent in to the letters page of Minor Matters the Morris Minor owners club magazine... A 1100cc 48hp table saw which seems a little lacking in guards!

Here is my most recent project, to make room for our just arrived baby girl the second bedroom could no longer be an office. The books and everything else would have to move into the living room. It was essential to keep a desk both for general computer work etc but also for my wife's sewing...

So spent this afternoon/evening on a non woody hobby and bottled 29 bottles of last years wine. Ran out of covers and spray mount for the labels but a good afternoons work... Look forward to drinking it!

I've started painting some MDF units with a brush and roller and now decided to switch to spraying. I was using a Homebase quick dry primer undercoat and was going to then use Dulux eggshell gloss. I have a basic Earlex HVLP spray gun, my question is can I use standard paints designed for...

He made a box from cedar by cutting rebates leaving only a couple of mill. Then steamed and bent it to form the box. Interesting I thought.

I'm going to start on a bit of a redesign of my workshop.... or end of the garage! Got a firm idea of what I want to do, and as I've never posted any pics will aim to do so as I go along on this project! A question to start - going to build saw horses for with my circular saw and cabinets on...

I've had my eye out for a second hand router and found an elu mof96e in the local paper. I've read old threads so know what to look out for with the router but can't find much about the table. I'm presumming it is an elu table but won't know till I go and look tomorrow. It is also said it had...

My router is an old PP model, and to operate you have to grip the on/off button with increasing force to use! It is now at the point of being almost unusable! I would like in the future to build a router table, but as I've never used one I can't get my head round how you adjust the router...

anyone see Grand Designs? Wood chips from the prefab construction was treated to be fire retardent and used as insulation in the walls, brilliant! :D

Just pondering at the moment but hopefully later in the year might be buying. What I don't understand is you seem to be able to get benchtop thicknessers which look good quality and would be great in my small garage. But benchtop planers all look a bit cheaper and dont seem to have cast iron...

I've ummed for a while about a new drill or battery, and am going to get one. Whats made the decision is I've got a hole saw stuck in my drill and hands, vices and lots of WD40 I just can't get it out! Anyway, I'd like one drill to do all tasks including DIY round the house... so I've narrowed...
