I'm building a 5x5 meter shed because my workshop is full and we need more storage. I started on the foundations for my new shed last July. Cad preview of what it will look like: The cat donesn't seem to be afraid of heavy machinery, as soon as there was a lull in activity they'd be...

I bought these plans in 2017, I printed a lot of it out in color in folded and stapled book form because I have access to a very good printer at work. I started on it in 2018 and I got the linear glides mostly done as well as the holders for the router body. Around that time I took on a project...

So for almost a year, since late October last year I have not done any woodworking whatsoever. For some time my interest in metalworking has been increasing and I started with a lathe. Then I lucked into a mill of suitable size and of a brand I wanted. A Deckel FP2 is the model, german toolroom...

Well, just making this to show what I dragged home, an old sandstone grinder, working and with a 10x50cm wheel. For 50 euros I couldn't say no: A pretty cool multiple pulley system here to keep the size down. So now here's a sharpening system! At least for setting bevels and such. The plan...

I dunno if anyone else has been bothered by this, but I have found it hard to be able to layout good looking and consistent 5 star knobs in the shop. I mean who has that kind of trigonometry in their head right, I remember basically nothing about trig from school. So I went researching and came...

I'm thinking about this, China made but only 100 and nearby me. Ideally I'd want a proper combo machine. But I have been looking for something bigger than my 8 inch emco. Link is not English but the pictures show what's needed. http://m.findit.fi/sv/1217403.htm

Anyone used this lathe? There's one for sale locally for cheap (95€). I am going to look at it tonight or tomorrow. I have an old Coronet Major lathe at the moment, I am happy with the lathe, high quality whereas the scheppach brand is only mediocre (the model looks solid enough from pictures...

Hmmmm, I was going over this #4 plane I got by the brand of Esteel (some swedish stanley copy) which I have never really worked as it should. Well I got done with my #3 smoother and having real nice results with setting the cap iron very close to the blade. So I was going to do the same on this...

Hi, do you lads have any EU based online stores you'd recommend for acquiring oil stones, I'm mainly interested in arkansas stones, a hard black surgical stone to start with, 8x2 or 8x3 inches. I've started to drop any US based place from my lists, because while the prices are good, the high...

That means there were 4 more burglaries last year, compared to the year before. This place is going downhill fast!

I've been looking for a tongue and groove set for a while. Came across these and they look to be in fine condition, but I dunno if the price is good or not. I might be allowing the plane set to be poached by linking it here but if its on ebay it's a given it will be found by someone...

Got myself an old scandinavian type woodworking bench: It has this dark looking (slightly translucent) paint splashed on it, I dunno what the previous owners thought but I don't like it much. Any tips on removing it? Planing the surface will get rid of most of it but I think some kind of...

So as the heading says I wanna make my own tongue and groove plane set and add some more hand tools to my arsenal. I'm not sure what factors I should consider in building these however. It strikes me that they most often seem to be a pair that are designed for a particular width of board, which...

It's a bit late to be posting, but I didn't see any mention of it on the forums: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu4qL-aKJD8 :lol:

Well, kinda. I really liked the concept of the sorby pro edge sharpening system. But the price wasn't very agreeable and I like homemade tools. The design isn't mind but copied from John Heisz 's forums, by another user called Pekka. Got some extra bolts, and replaced the tracking adjusting...

First off. I'm new to welding, a while ago I got a 2d hand Kemppi Super Kempak welder, 150 amp rectifier welder so I get DC.It's a good welder, my dad is a professional welder and used it without problems when he repaired some stainless pipes at home, but my skill level is so far very low, I...

I could use a bigger angle grinder than my Lidl 125mm / 4½" one, which has worked great though. I found for 30 euros in a 2nd hand store something called a Wolf angle grinder, it looked be white and blue and old looking, when I looked closer it said it was made in Britain. Old enough to be made...

I've been looking at making a shooting board, for 90 and 45 degree miters. But one thing that always strikes me when I see them is, doesn't using them mean the plane's cutting into the fence that's keeping it straight? Seems they must loose their squareness quite rapidly and require re-truing...

I'm considering making some wooden toy blocks for my kids, and other shapes and I would like to put lettering on the blocks, but how to best do it? A router template seems like the best option for me right now. But what's a good kit to get if so? This one is the first I found and it has good...

Are there any 3rd party router lifts compatible with this router? It's something of a special case because of it's idiotic on-off switch placement (on the bases, nothing on the motor itself).
