Hi, can someone tell me what finish to put some protection from smears / scratches on MRMDF coated in farrow and Ball paint please. I tried BriWax but it was poop.

I have need of quite a few plant stands and obelisks. I had a look at. the garden centre and decided that if possible I would make my own. I am reasonably handy but have no clue about buying or making jigs for bending the rod. I would like to be flexible regarding the curve size. Any advice...

I noticed that the sawn edge was rough when cutting some oak draw sides. I decided not to be lazy and swapped out the Axcaliber cross cut blade for the Axcaliber rip blade to see if it changed anything. Having realigned my Axminster AT10 Table saw blades and fence. I still have a rough finish...

I ended up buying the "UJK CIRCULAR SAW ALIGNING JIG". My 10 inch blade was 5 thousandths off from front to back and that was "closed" nearer to the fence. Doesn't seem a lot but I think that over a longish piece of wood, it could push the piece against the fence enough to pinch.

As it says in the title. I do not use it too much. Still have 50% of the dominos it came with. Keep it clean. Any ideas?

I want to check my table saw blade is perfectly aligned and have looked at the tools to do this on the internet. They seem very expensive £69 for something I don't expect I will use more than once a year. Does anyone know where I can hire one from? What do you guys who are frugal like me do?

Hi, I like the idea of having a crown guard / extractor but do not want to pay £600 for one. Has anyone an alternative for this?

I saw in a video a while back a chunky looking feather board that was held in place by a magnet. It wasn't a yellow Magswitch, seemed a lot meatier. Has anyone any idea of what and where I can get one and if as useful as I think it would be?

Hi, my son is writing a dissertation on starting up a new woodworking business. As part of this, her has 6 or actually 7 questions that he would really be grateful if some of you could take the time to answer for him. 1. What do you consider yourself to be? Joiner, cabinet maker, carpenter or...

Has anyone a small or large furniture design and workshop company that doesn't mind being interviewed about starting up, design principals, practicality etc. It is for a dissertation for a design degree. Based around Oxford, Wiltshire, West Berkshire but willing to travel further afield too.

I failed an electrical inspection with a few C2s and one C1. The C2s are all a bit odd (mostly) but the C1 has me baffled. The Workshop / Garage is on the other side of a lane to my house. I have an Eton box splitting the supply, 1 to my house CU and 1 to a Wylex Box. The cable is...

Record Power Router Table - works well. Note this is the hinge version, not the strut. Been sporadically used for the last 4 years. I am including the fence although it needs handles and a bit of work. Collection only Near Marlborough;.

I have a couple of local oak slabs that I need to flatten for the kitchen island. I have a router sled etc and have upgraded my router to a Triton TRA001 which is a beast. Usually I but bits from Axminster and they have been good. However, for this job, I will be buying the best bit I can...

I admit it, I am easily distracted by new things and fads and shiny objects. The large red Woodpecker T square with its powder coating and easily visible scale has caught my eye. For once as luck may have it I see that there may be value in it. I have been marking sheet goods a lot recently...

Both in good working condition. Collection only from Marlborough area. £350 each or £600 the pair. I should add that I have no actual idea of the value of these items and so if I am way off base let me know please.

I want to use acrylic eggshell to paint some cabinets. Will my Wagner Spraytech 0518050 be able to spray it? What sort of paint to thinner ratio will I need to use?

I am spraying some kitchen cabinets with an electric sprayer. The first time I did this, I used paper filters but it took a very very long time for the paint to pass through. What do you guys use and also as a matter of ineterest, what do you filter the paint into? Thanks in advance. Gary

Does anyone know a resaw service that is less than 45 minutes from Hungerford / Andover? My son bough a nice chunky piece of oak hoping to resaw it at college but they do not have a resaw and our bandsaw is too small. Happy to pay for the work Gary

Hi, I have spray painted some MRMDF cabinets that I built with primer and Little Green Intelligent Eggshell. Looks great and no problems so far but I have seen other sprayed and painted cabinets that chip and scratch easily. The company say the paint is skirting board tough but I want to know...

I have a 10 inch Axminster cabinet saw. It comes with a clamp down fence and I have had it for a few years. The fence has always been a bit wiggly before locking doen and sometimes a little out of square. I have taken to holding a small square at the far end pre locking it down. If this were...
