Can anyone enlighten me on a maker/supplier of this type of hinge?. I don't know what they're called which makes searching for them online more difficult. There is an Italian brand called Anuba but they are lightweight and intended mainly for kitchen units and suchlike. The size I'm looking for...

I haven't seen much comment about this programme which airs Tuesday evening on Quest TV. The format is similar to 'The Repair Shop' in that a member of the public wends their way to a workshop deep in the woods. They then ask a team of woodworkers to create something for a deserving friend or...

Found a screwdriver nearly 33 inches long. I can't imagine any need for that length, except to reach some deep inaccessible places. Still I suppose it's always good to have a big'un, as the Actress said to the Bishop.

I have a Marples plane which is marked 324, this seems strange as I thought Marples followed the usual pattern and marked them M4, M5 etc. Any thoughts?.

Not so much identification as tool use. This is a ginormous Sash Clamp, by far the biggest I've seen. It measures over 7ft long and weighs in at 24.2kg, not far short of a half hundredweight in old money. It's made by Woden. I would like opinions on it's intended use, I've heard that door...

This lathe bed extension has come into my possession, it has no makers name or other identifying marks. It is made of cast steel and the bright yellow colour is an obvious clue. I'd be grateful if anyone can identify it, also I'd be happy to sell it to anyone who wants it.

I'm trying to locate a source of good quality shuttering plywood, by good quality I mean the resin faced stuff that is used for poured concrete moulds. Most timber stockists seem to think I mean the low grade stuff that is used for temporary repairs, hoardings etc. I've never seen the better...

Hello one and all, I have some joinery grade redwood which has unfortunately got damp and started to develop a blue mould or mildew. This happened in a surprisingly short time as the timber was only left out in a light shower of rain. The infection is worse on the sapwood but also occurs on the...

Hi all, I have a site saw with a blade diameter of 315mm, it gets used for general ripping and cutting firewood. I need to know if I can fit a smaller blade size of say 250 or 200mm safely. The reason I want to do this is that I'm doing a laminating project that involves ripping a large...

Hi fellow woodies everywhere!. I have access to a steady supply of pallets which I have been using as firewood. They are stamped BR which I think may mean Brazil. They are aiso stamped HT which means heat treated, hence no chemicals used. The deckboards are a softwood which I think may be...
