I just found this whilst browsing youtube, as you do. What I'd call a good effort, to say the least. Thought someone here might appreciate it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZySOgMzOY0Q&list=RDZySOgMzOY0Q

Bit of an unusual one maybe. I normally send my knives off to the local sharpener as once i'm outside plane irons and chisels, I get a bit lost. I have an automatic stiletto knife (some would say flick knife/switchblade) which has a very fine bevel (0.1mm probably) on it. I can't give it to...

Hi all, Hoping to move house in spring. Due to a recent leak we're going to have to replace some flooring. Been looking around and £28sqm seems to be the going rate for 3mm engineered oak strip stuff. For this sort of price range or preferably lower, does anyone have a supplier they'd...

Putting together a ply desk for someone. It's going to be mounted to a wall with batons, so I only had to work up a top and some support for the underside. Nothing complicated. I decided to mitre the corners of the frame, just to see how accurate I could get it. It's turned out ok...

Guys, I really need a new place to work and unfortunately, around my way, space is pretty expensive. Well, it's expensive unless you're literally moving a full time business in there, which I'm not doing yet. 1,000 sqft is going to run me about £600/mo in rent, add to that utilities and...

I find myself consistently coming up against a bit of a wall with certain jointing tasks. The latest one are simple stopped housing dados on small stock. I realise I could do dado's with nothing more than a chisel, but it would be laborious work as I have quite a few to do. The plunge router...

Hi all, A relative is in need of a walking stick for medical reasons. She doesn't live in the UK so cant get a regulation NHS version, nor would she want one apparently. She's asked if i can find out if I can get hold of something nicer. She's looking for a hardwood of course, well made...

Hi guys, Haven't posted here in ages as work and family have kept me away from all things wood. Sorry to say that my first post back is a question rather than an answer. Its just really to check my thinking. These slabs are very large and cumbersome. They are for a table top. They have...

Hi all, I'm sure I can remember reading a post or two on here about someones leather work. Does anyone know who it is, because I'm damned if I can remember the name of the poster? In need of someone with high level leatherworking skills for some restoration work to an important 11th century...

Oh guys and girls, I'm such a muppet. These past few years, I've learned so much about fine furniture, wasted so much quality timber, ruined so many joints and yet here I am again, lamenting a failure in a simple task, which was entirely preventable. I had to install some skirting in the...

Can anyone recommend a budget brad nailer and compressor combination please? I've never had a compressor of any kind before. It's just for finishing a few DIY jobs off then probably wont be used again for a long time, so cheap but functional is the order of the day. Would it be possible at...

I'm getting closer to leasing a place to work. One of the things I know I'm going to have to sort out first is to decide how much space I want. Several of you were kind enough to help me and several suggestions were made, with the median coming it at around 800 to 1000 sq ft. What I'd like to...

I'm always a bit behind the curve when it comes to accounting matters but I've just found out that the government sneaked in a change in April which prevented companies where there is one employee, who is also the director, from claiming EA. So that little nugget has cost me £2k a year as I'm...

I'm not affiliated with this company, just find it useful. Hope this is allowed, mods. It's a free service for price tracking items on Amazon. http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/

Theres a news report that Trump is all set to deport up to 3 million illegal immigrants. Apparently he will initially aim to deport known criminals, gang members and drug dealers. That struck me as strange, because if someone is in the justice system and known to be an illegal immigrant, why...

A lovely but sad article. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-37955748

I was dreading this. I finally had to fully set my planer knives today after buying a new set. Got them back from the saw guy recently and much as I wanted to, I couldn't put it off any longer. I'd read all sorts of stories, lost afternoons, unbearable frustration, nightmarish fiddly jigs and...

The man from U.N.C.L.E has very sadly met his demise. Was such a cool bloke.

I'm thinking about 1,000sqft should do it, allowing a reasonable area for timber storage. Would I be about on the money? Obviously, bigger is better, but to start with I need something thats affordable and where I don't rattle around when alone. Could I perhaps go a bit smaller? Have to fit...
