Filament, sideways, thanks for input, I'll see if I can get the carbide edged blades. John, I've got a recipe saw as well, but the shed is going to my mates niece and as my recip saw is a bit of a beast, I'm looking for a but more 'precision' to keep things neat as possible.

Folks I have to help a mate dis assemble a garden shed. I'll have to use a multi tool to cut hidden nails to separate the panels. Anyone got any experience of a good blade (for a Fein) to cut through nails, and maybe some screws as well?

Yep, get down to local charity shop and get a cheap leather belt, fix it to a batten and Bob's yer....

I'm sure every knows, but the original Fein was designed to cut plaster casts off patients, without causing much damage to the patient, should the tool inadvertently contact the patients skin.

I bought a cheap bosch to do a job, did what I needed, but vibrated a lot. Gave that to son in law and bought a corded Fein.. brilliant tool, very refined, feels like it will last for ever. A mate saw my Fein and decided he needed one, he got a de walt and I thought that was pretty good too. My...

Anyone need a microwave for drying wood? I have a mid to large size domestic one that still works fine. Its cluttering up my workbench and it's off to to the tip soon if no one wants it. Collect only from central warwickshire I'm afraid. PS, it was replaced in the kitchen due to some rusting...

I've done the dust and glue thing, but found it just creates a very dark filler, I tried the same with dust and shellac and it wasn't much better. Maybe using the wrong glue, in my case just a common or garden PVA.

As per SD's recommendation, glue it first, then clamp it to avoid movement and put the screw in from the rear face.

'Viking' Tafl game. White pieces are Ash finished with BLO, black pieces are Oak finished with India ink. Board is plain old pine from local builders merchant, with Sapele inlay, bought a 2mm bit to use on the router for that. A box is being made to hold the pieces, and the board will act as the...

I've got the same lathe you are contemplating. I love it. It's well made, runs well, good value for money. Like others I'd highly recommend the feet, they will add more weight than timber blocks. If you need to call Record power for advice and guidance, there is always someone knowledgeable at...

Thanks all, yes using sash clamps, and the various responses have given me confidence to get on with it. I'll get some Tite Bond 1. Thanks all.

Folks I need to glue some pine edge to edge and for the join to be invisible. I've got the boards so that when pressed together, the joint is pretty much as I want, ie really hard to follow the the join line. I've used PVA in the past and in many instances that has left a dark tell tale along...

I used them once, they supplied some absolute rubbish, I rang to complain, they said that they would refund the cost if I sent it back. They also told me the bit I bought was Chinese. I chucked it in the bin and put it down to experience. Not saying that all their stuff is Chinese junk though.

If you have a router you can get a cutter for it designed for cutting slots for biscuits, might save you a few shillings..

Thanks all, I have some teak that my father had when I was a boy, it must be 60 years old at least, I'll also look at the plastic thing, but our shower tray is German manufacture and of a size that you don't regularly see. Appreciate the input, thanks again.

Folks, I'd like to make some wooden duck boards, essentially a grid to stand on, for a shower cubicle. Is there any wood which will stand up to repeated soaking without rotting? Or should I forget the whole idea?

Me too, get the Makita, you won't be disappointed.

When I get call from numbers I don't recognise, I often respond with. This is Captian Walter Walker, duty officer , Royal Navy Strategic Launch Control, Please may I have your security code and preliminary target data. If the caller persists I ask thme how they got the number etc, and tell...

Once had my credit card company call me about my account. Before they would tell me what it was about they wanted me to answer a series of security questions, I got suspicious and asked them how I could be sure it was a bona fide call. In the end we agreed to end the call, and I initiated a new...

This any good?
