Morning guys, I was wondering if someone might be able to give me some advice. I have a Makita RP0900 with a 30mm guide bush and I wanted to have a go at routing letters and numbers. I came across a Trend template set...

Hi Folks, back again! Last year I decided to take up woodworking as a hobby and thought I'd start with a workshop build as my first project to practice my craft in. The Mrs was so impressed, she said it'd be a good idea to build a little log cabin for the kids, somewhere they could go with...

Hi Guys Really excited, my patio looks like it'll be finished by the weekend ready for me to start building a log cabin for the kids. It's quite a reasonable size (6mx3m) and I want to ensure it lasts. My intentions are to use 2x4s for the frame, insulated with 50mm Celotex, clad internally...

I finally got round to mounting my DML24x onto a bench and since I was due to attend an open evening last Wednesday at Random Orbital Bob's club I thought I'd have a dabble on Tuesday night. It was only a quick foray into the world of turning but I was less than pleased with the result. The...

..... or anywhere in the UK who will post for a reasonable price! I'm after a couple of pieces of Beech to have a go at re-making the wooden plane kit I received from my secret santa but I'm having difficulty finding a supplier for 2 pieces of 3x3 about 8inches long. I actually need 8 inch x...

Hi All, I'm picking up a DML24x MkII this weekend and want to try my hand at turning some pens..... Would someone be so kind as to tell me what I need in order to do this please? I got as far as ordering pen blanks...... that's it :-( Kind regards Damian

#-o .......... My secret santa kindly sent me a Veritas wood plane kit so as I had a bit of time to myself this week, I thought I'd try and cobble it together. I learned a few things this week: 1. Zero clearance inserts are fine until the weather causes the timber to swell 2. Anything made in...

I thought it'd be easy to discover something about my SS recipient but it was harder than I thought....... Due to the fact my tool making skills are somewhat lacking I've gone for a safe option with a shop bought gift. My parcel has now been dispatched Merry Christmas :ho2

After reading some favourable reviews on here about Aldi I thought I'd take the plunge and invest in a pillar drill. I rushed the kids to get them off to school early so that I had time to get to my local Aldi first thing in the morning, I got there half an hour after opening and there were two...

Does anyone have the Steve Maskery Table saw DVD set? And secondly is it any good?

Apologies...... this is a bit of a gloat thread So I picked up a load of free timber from a guy who was clearing out his recently deceased mothers house, it turns out his father was a carpenter and had a load of timber in his workshop (god knows how long it had been there) most of it was bits...

I'm in love with my bandsaw! It's nothing special and I guess it's so vastly inferior to a lot of the machines most have on this forum but for what I need it for it suits a purpose. I paid probably over the odds for it, it's a Basato 1 and a few weeks ago I over tightened the grub screws in...

My local Budgens (Lightwater) convenience store is closing down opposite where I work and are subsequently having a closing down sale. I was overcome with a 'Black Friday'-esque form of hysteria this morning when I noticed they had a DIY section with 75% off! I bought a shed load of London...

I was lucky enough to get the time to spend a few hours banging and crashing round in my workshop over the weekend. I got my secondhand (£10) Kity 618 up and running and tried it out cutting a few bits of 18mm Ply to make some French cleats, bench hutch and a charging station. I notice that the...

Well, I took my youngest down to Screwfix live at the weekend, there was a 10% discount off everything but there wasn't really anything I needed, there were a few demos going on but nothing I hadn't seen before. My daughter had an absolute blast mind and managed to pick up all kinds of freebies...

Hi everyone, I was lucky enough to find someone selling a big Kity table saw on Gumtree for a tenner! Naturally I snapped it up and am going to set about refurbing it, it has a bit of rust on the cabinet which I'm going to clear off with a bit of wire wool and maybe repaint and the table going...

In keeping with the ethos of this forum I planned to do a WIP as I progressed through my build, unfortunately I had a 6 week gap in between starting clearing the old shed and building building work I decided to wait until I had the finished project. So...... setting the scene...... I had an...

I received a marketing email this morning from fine woodworking and saw there is a 2016 tool guide for sale, the blurb reads: " Our latest edition of the best-selling Tool Guide is here to help. You can rely on this issue for completely unbiased, expert reviews of more than 230 tools from the...

Evening all My younger brother is a qualified sparky in the army, unfortunately he isn't registered with any civil agency and as such can't sign off any work he has done. I've asked him to wire up my workshop, (when it's built) which he has agreed to do however, he says he can't do the final...
