Are the American pork chop style guards on planer thicknessers allowed over here? Never see them. Can’t say I’m a big fan of the over and under guards. Although they do keep the blades covered at all times. The swing type guard covers the portion of blades not covered by the timber. Any thoughts?

I leave my computer on all the time, just turn the screen off. Next morning when I go to use it, the mouse has frozen. Occassionally it freezes during use. The only way to get it back has been to reboot. Ctrl+alt+del or the windows button doesn't work when it has frozen. I have replaced the ps2...

Anyone tried these? Are they worth the £15 each? or should I save up for the Bessey. http://www.rutlands.co.uk/hand-tools/wo ... jaw-clamps Cheers

I'm looking at renovating and extending our cottage. Part of that means extricating it from the bank! There is a large space at the top side that is unused. As part of the terracing/landscaping I see the opportunity to add a large double garage. What is the ideal size and shape for a workshop...

Dave, I've been playing at drawing a turned leg but it has me beat, especially the pommel transition. Any chance of 1 of your quick little videos? Many thanks

What are the main components for making a cyclone? I already have a 3hp induction motor from an old Scheppach TKU tablesaw. Could I use it to drive the fan? Where could I buy a fan unit/housing? Do they fit straight onto the motor? I intend to install it in the woodstore behind my workshop so...

I like the look of the BT home hub but I'm not with BT. Anybody recommend it or any others. Any good network guide sites might help too. Many thanks

Hi Guys, We've just had steps/retaining walls built and now I need to plant up the chalk banks. I want to somehow knit the loose chalk together with carpeting plants. I've tried drilling pockets with a 4" core bit but it's just too loose. I've tried drilling it with a post auger but it just...

Axminster finally doing Cyclone Dust Extractors and good on em. Just wish I could afford one. I wonder if most folk would consider paying that sort of money for a large tablesaw or bandsaw but baulk at paying it for a dust extractor. http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp? ... e=1&jump=0 Curious

Mikes cracking house sign with the oak gallows bracket just made me wonder if anyone has built oak frame (mortice and tenon and pegged) furniture. i.e a dining table that looks like a barn roof structure..... I quite fancy the idea or am I going mad. Cheers

I've just bought into the Tormek TNT system. Looking at my old gouges that are all sorts of angles it struck me that it would be a lot faster to do the initial reshaping on a normal grinder first. I was thinking of buying a spare horizontal base for the jig bar and mounting it somehow to the...

Can anybody please recommend a versatile Work/machine Light? Something bright and positionable for a multitude of uses. Handwork, lathe, bandsaw etc Many thanks

Now then, sometimes I really envy our friends across the pond. Who does this kind of thing over here? Doubt my better half would be too sympathetic if I nipped out for a couple of weeks..... Looks great though don't you think. If my numbers ever come up I'd certainly know how to spend a few bob...

FWW only displays about 2/3rds across the screen. Every other web site is fine. My screen resolution is set to 1152x864 for my 19" monitor. Anyone else have this problem when viewing this site? More importantly, how do I fix it? Many thanks

If it's not a daft question. 18mm is too small, 3/4" is a bit loose, what does every one else use? or do I have to make do with tapping the fence over? Many thanks

Hi, I have the found the extraction on my home made router table is excellent when the bit is closely surrounded by the apperture in the fence. When cutting housings though , the bit is some distance from the fence and that method of extraction can't be used. Connecting the extractor to the...
