Missus wants a new garden table and chairs set and has quoted frighteningly high prices to me of buying a set in. As I don't want cheap metal crappy stuff, and would prefer something in a nice hardwood, I'm scouting for suitable ideas and preferably plans. Any ideas guys?

Just want to tell the world about the excellent DVDs from Steve Maskery. A friend kindly bought me parts 4 & 5 (all about bandsaws) and after watching them I had to order parts 1 to 3 :D (Thanks again Henning) Steve has such a great presentation style - relaxed but without waffle :lol...

Anyone know of a supplier for handwheels? My google-fu only comes up with industrial suppliers. Handwheels:

I've a problem with my Nova Lathe. I wound the tailstock quill out further than I intended and it came out. I inserted it back in and wound it back, but it only turns a few times then sticks. Any suggestions? Please...... :oops:

I am preparing for my new workshop and got thinking about the electrics. As the workshop will be some distance from the house, I got to wondering if Solar Power is feasable for workshop use. I know it will be ok for lighting and for the smaller power tools, but I do have a few toys that take...

Does anyone know of a cutting programme? I am sure I have seen one somewhere, where you input the sizes from your parts list and the board size you are cutting from, and it works out the optimum cutting plan. Or did I dream it...... :shock: :D

My next project is going to be an engineers style tool chest. I am looking for some brass carry handles, like those on the side of this Gerstner chest: I have tried Isaac Lord, Screwfix, but can't find them. Any suggestions where to look? Thanks!
