I got my 10x8 shed last year and insulated it with some loft insulation my brother had let from his house, I put a membrane over the insulation and then boarded the walls and ceiling with 11mm OSB (I would have preferred ply, but budget was small!) The insulation really makes a difference, and...

http://www.wix.com is great for its simple drag and drop type design approach. It's free for a website with ads but will cost monthly to remove ads and link a custom domain. I have used it a few times and you can get some really pro looking stuff when you play about with it enough. At the least...

Thanks guys, very useful. I shall look into those products. What do you thinking about Danish Oil?

Hi All, Looking for a bit of advice with regards to re-finishing a table and some chairs that I am about to buy. It's second hand, and was originally from Oak Furniture Land, seems solid enough but the top and chairs could so with a sand down and refinish. What would you recommend to bring...

+1 for the Ryobi impact driver, given mine quite a hammering with various jobs and its brilliant! Seems to run forever on a 4.0Ah battery as well. Speaking of which, don't buy the batteries at silly prices over here. I bought a pack of 2 4.0ah batteries from the US on a well known auction site...

I swear by these Roughneck ones: http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p11211 I use a couple at work and have a couple at home. Built like a tank and not too badly priced. I really like how they have the inch increments marked out clearly as well.

Cheers all! I didn't manage to get hold of them (it was last thing on Friday after all...) but I have a blade on order!

Excellent! thank you for the recommendation!

Thanks for this, very helpful. Funnily enough I picked one of these up today! :D

Hi, I was wondering if someone might be able to help a bandsaw newbie! I have just bought a second hand Delta 28-180 bench band saw and need to buy a blade for it. I have looked in the manual that came with it and it says it accepts blades of 1/8, 1/4 and 3/8" wide and although it doesn't...

Onto the base.... This weekend was very productive and the most knackering I have had in a while! Once again, my trusty dad came over to help but little did we know what we were letting ourselves in for.... I wanted to leave a gap at the side and back for maintenance of both the fence and the...

Haha cheers, yea that's exactly how I feel! That fencing seemed like nothing compared to sorting out the base though! I will post details shortly!

Hello all, I'm sure, like many an amateur woodworker that peruse this forum in awe of others, I have always wanted a dedicated place in which to create sawdust. Me and the wife moved into our house last year, and since day one I had plans for a "workshop" shed in the garden. Unfortunately...

I had the same predicament, in dire need of a space for my tools, I did think about building (which would have been much more rewarding), I just don't really have the time (or the skill) to take on something like that. Here on the south coast I have just ordered a 10 x 8 pent (due in may) that...

Thanks for the replies guys, I have just reserved that impax one on offer at screwfix as seems a good deal!

Hello all, I am looking at buying a small compressor to use pretty much exclusively with a nailer and the air blower attachment in my yet to be bought shed. Have been looking at 24ltr models around the £100 mark (tight budget!) and have narrowed it down to these two...

Hi, thanks for the reply and link to your post, what a great vise! .very useful. Unfortunately, I cant seem to find the supplier that you mentioned for your hardware kit. I have had a look around and they all seem quite pricey (I am on a budget at the mo as saving for the shed/workshop I plan...

Hi Willy, apologies for the late reply! Yes, its the Ryobi impact driver (I also have the combi drill). I have only had it a month or two but I absolutely love it. having not owned one before I can honestly say that I wouldn't do without an impact driver now. For the price compared to other...

Hi Guys, I have a couple of the Ryobi one+ tools and in the future look to expand on the system and could do with one or two larger batteries (I currently have just one of the smaller 1.3Ah batteries). I have been looking at battery prices here and the cheapest I could find them was around £65...

HAHA! It didn't go down that well, but I told her that once it was made I would have something to work on! :mrgreen:
