Hi guys, So I've got a bit of a problem, I built this play table for my son where it's a hoop basically with some supports and 3 legs with a Lego insert plate. Unfortunately... when you lean on the wage right between any 2 legs, it's a bit on the top ply side, not ridiculously so but...

Hello, So I'm totally baffled by what size router bit I need to get. I have a set of dowels which are 38mm thick, I want to completely round over one end making it a half ball on a stick. My router is a 1/2 inch collet. So my thinking is half the 38, 19... and find a 19mm round over bit...

Hi guys, With the arrival of my little one, projects have turned somewhat more focused on that. I was planning on just using food safe chopping board oil to protect the wood but I'd like to paint some bits here and there and I wasn't really sure on the paint to use or if any paint (within...

Hi Guys, I'm looking to get a dedicated blade for ply/melamine/laminate work, i've seen there's a few super fine 200 tooth blades around as even with the (60 or 80 tooth - i can't remember) one i've got from axi i still seem to get plenty of chip out. Does anyone have any experience with these...

Hi guys Had a bit of a mishap today while working on my work bench legs; the short of it is I somehow managed to cut the same leg short by a foot... yes a whole foot. They're 4x4"s and luckily I've got some sizeable off cuts to make the length back up. Question is what joint would you...

Hi Guys, I've recently bought a 6" surface planer and a triton TPT125 thicknesser, i just need to get some extraction sorted for them. I have a axi CT-50RCK extractor which works fine for my tablesaw with 100mm hose, the question is, can i get away with 63mm hose for the above machines, i'm...

Hi Chaps Right, i know this is probably going to be a magnet for tumbleweed, or drop like a lead balloon (take your pick). But... I was wondering if anyone who's in the hertfordshire area (or likes to travel.) would like to get together for a drink, chat about wood, projects that kind of...

Hi Guys, I'm looking to make a pretty decent bench, something really nice and solid but nothing too fancy, just laminated 2x4s. The idea is to replace my current outfeed table on my AW10BSB2 as my workshop is pretty small and its the only sensible place i can squeeze in a bench. After watching...

Hi Guys, I've only just gotten my AW10 (i only went for the basic model due to my budget), and to be honest i probably should have a done a little more research when it came to the blade/guard/knife setup. It seems like a great saw, but the plans in my head to build a crosscut sled, and...

Hi Guys, Way out of my area of expertise here, but hopefully someone can give me some practical advice on how to work out what's going wrong, or who to ask for help. Recently got my new workshop cabin wired up by a local sparky. On the house unit; 100amp RCD 32amp MCB going to cabin Armoured...

Hi Guys, I'm new to the whole workshop thing, i've recently built a 4x4m cabin that's my first proper workshop and after a (LOT) of deliberation i'm going to purchase an Axi AW10BSB2 tablesaw to start things off. What i've no real idea of is dust collection in a workshop, using large diameter...

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for replacing my stock Makita blade in the LXT Circular Saw (BSS611Z)? I've heard alot of people say good things about Freud blades, and the closest i can find is this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Freud-LCL6M-Cir ... B00NWI2SOI The...

Hi Guys, I'm working on some alcove shelving in my new house, and to tell the truth it's been a nightmare project from the off. Basically i'm using invisible shelf pins along the back, going into solid timber. After a lot of trial and error i've gotten one set of the shelves up, because of the...
