Hi All, I was hoping I could get some advice - my wife has a little Etsy shop that sells hand made, and painted items - most of these items are letters and logos at around the A4-A3 kinda size and so far she has been hand painting or spraying with cans (mostly sprayed), made from MDF and/or...

New to woodworking....Only produced a handful of painted ply objects... So Veneered Ply....seems to be close to, if not impossible to source in Norfolk. A few stock MDF, but not plywood With that in mind, anyone knows if any stockists in the east, or has anyone ordered online - and if so how...

Hi All, Picked up a super cheap scroll saw - the Naerok 16 for a tenner! It all works, but the blade is old and needs changing, but like all things, it seems to be more complex than it should be! The blade that's in there at the moment is pinned, and its 165mm from pin to pin. Looking online...

Hey all, I'm about to make a start designing some alcove cabinets - something like the attached image - I have two to make, both more or less the same size. And here's the thing - there's plenty of info online on how to design and put something like this together in 2 door formation, but...

Hi All, I'm making a basic shelf that has one long (180cm) shelf, its mostly made out of hardwood ply, but I'm also going to brace the front and back with some hardwood to support it/stop it sagging. Its also going to be painted, so the final look is not all that important. With that in...

Hi all, I realise birch ply is probably the best ply there is, but lets say I want to build some basic shelves or a basic cabinet, which will be painted. in this case is birch ply the way to go, or can a cheaper ply be used, are there any downsides? I'm sorry this is such a naff question...

Can anyone identify this wood - Im thinking of making similar, but these boxes are quite cheap to buy so I suspect its a faily cheap wood. Any ideas? http://www.albertoalessandra.com/weddin ... ooden-box/

So...types of plywood - different grades/hard and soft are confusing the hell out of me. If I want to make some basic cabinets that will be painted (or perhaps veneered) do I need to buy highest quality ply, can I get away with B / BB grade (or lower)? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi All... So, after years and years of thinking about this Ive bought a table saw!...and I built a frame for it out of 2x4 and everything...and its on wheels so im now feeling pretty pleased with myself! :P But now its time to make something practical (for the home) with it and im looking for...

So....After weeks of consideration Ive decided the TS250 was the perfect 1st table saw - portable (ish), iron top, decent cut depth and more important than anything an induction motor (i live in a built up area). So I contact Axminster to see when they might have some in stock and the answer...

As im always on a budget, and I don't want to spend a ton of cash on something I might not use very much (though if I did use it a lot I would probably upgrade later). What are the general thoughts on this??? http://www.lidl.co.uk/en/our-offers-249 ... l&id=20628

Hi All... this is literally my 1st project since school (20 years ago!). iv built a simple router table which went pretty well. A little hick up or two but it works!!! And now my project begins. Basically my aim is to rebuild a plinth for a Rega turntable as mine is currently in a bad...

hi all, I'm working on a small project that requires a bit of trim/template routing. I have a fairly cheap but fairly powerful router and an old table and I'm in the process of making a simple DIY router table out of. Everything was going well - holes drilled, and router mounted. And then I...

Hi all, I'm hoping someone would be willing to offer me some advice. I have a small woodworking project I'm hoping to commence in the coming weeks. In principle I think it's pretty simple, but the reality might be very different. My plan... I currently own an old, and slightly damaged Rega...
