Hi there, Looking for suggestions to make a simple press for soft plastic bags which accumulate and I'd like to be able to compress them to take for recycling. The simpler the better for me. Thanks so much for any suggestions. Oh.....and a Happy New Year to one and all : )

Could you please give me your recommendations for a really good light/lamp to use when cutting out intricate patterns on a scroll saw? I've used a visor and a Fancii LED Illuminated Hands Free Head Magnifier but feel like I would benefit from a light that either clamps to a table or is on a...

I have used a glue syringe on several occasions and really love how it can apply a tiny bead to wherever I need it. However, unless very careful, the needle can easily get clogged with glue that has dried and it takes a lot of work to unclog it. I've searched everywhere hoping to find a DIY...

Wondered if anyone knew of an organisation where one could donate some or all of the tools one has accumulated over the years, when it's time to go to that woodshop in the sky? I've no intention of going there any time soon, just wanted to be prepared - like a good boy scout. I was hoping...

As I'm sure most of our elders know, there are few days go by without something or other being "mislaid". Unfortunately, as we get older, there's hardly a day goes by that one of our possessions mysteriously disappears. Of course, we all know the answer.............it's that we put it down...

Has anyone used these Bench / Parf dog rail CLIPS ? They look like a good idea but, I'd love to hear from any of you woodworking experts who might have used them. OR......do you think that the UJK Rail Clips might be better? Description says for Parf dogs so, hopefully they fit the MFT holes...

Has anyone used these Bench / Parf dog rail CLIPS ? They look like a good idea but, I'd love to hear from all you super experts. OR......do you think that the UJK Rail Clips might be better? Description says for Parf dogs so, a little concerned they may not fit the MFT holes. Would...

I'm considering buying an MFT style top and have been watching many of Peter Millard's superb videos. He really knows his stuff and is such a very personable guy. The way he presents these videos in such a friendly, unassuming way, it feels as if he's talking directly to me. So, I'm wondering...

I have searched just about everywhere to find a small T-Square, preferably plastic , just for doing some layout work on a table and can find nothing. I already own an 18" (460mm) one but need something smaller. Does anyone have any suggestions please ?

I was ready to buy Axminster's Trade 16” Scroll Saw and, was very disappointed to see they had no stock available and contacted them asking when the saw would be available. They said that, regrettably it likely won't be until July. Oh NO ! Undaunted, I set out on a long journey to find...

Has anyone tried the Hitachi CR10DL/L4 10.8V ? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hitachi-CR10DL-L4-10-8V-Reciprocating/dp/B001NIDSBG?sa-no-redirect=1&pldnSite=1 This particular one is currently unavailable, otherwise I would have got it as I already have the Hitach screwdriver and so, wouldn't require...

Hi there I'd like to cut about 6mm off a pushpin. Would a regular pair of pliers do the job or would I need something more substantial or exotic? Your help is much appreciated.

I recently purchased a mitre saw and was totally unprepared for the amount of sawdust this thing spits out. It doesn't restrict itself to the vicinity of the saw either. Oh no, this monster spits everywhere ! I realise that this is the case for the majority of mitre saws and especially a budget...

Any suggestions as to what I might use to help my blade slide smoothly on the handle? It's quite stiff and I didn't want to try anything without some much more experienced users' advice. Much appreciated.

I'm not at all good at drilling 90 degree square holes and was shocked the other day when I saw that the exit hole on a hole I'd just drilled was 2 cm off from where the entry hole started. Time for a drilling aid I thought to myself. I've scoured the web and have narrowed my choices down to...

I've scoured the internet but have been unable to find a manual for this great plane which I recently purchased. Would any of you extremely knowledgeable gentlemen know where I might find one? Thanks so much.

I was almost ready to purchase the Kreg Right Angle clamp to use for making pocket holes when I came across this clamp. Has anyone used this clamp to create pocket holes? It really looks like it would work well if you watch this video @ 03:15) http://www.woodpeck.com/boxclampm2.html I'm really...

Do any of you experienced scrollers transfer images to wood? I'd love t be able to do this with the attached letters as, if I just glued a photo to the wood, I would have a white background that I don't want. If the image itself could be transferred directly to the wood, the white background...

I'm looking at a Hegner Multicut 2S and wondered if any of you chaps could tell me if it would work just sitting on a dining room table? You see, I live in a small flat and wouldn't have a way of bolting it down or using on a stand at present. I have a Dremel Moto Saw which is barely just so so...
