I am having to downsize machinery due to moving house. This is a single phase 240v machine, which I was told requires a 16 amp supply to start up, but it's never tripped any of my standard sockets. This planes up to 260mm, the thicknesser has a 250mm wide table with a 150mm drop. Comes with...

I am having to downsize machinery due to moving house. This is a single phase 240v machine, and a very heavy machine at that! 250mm depth of cut, 430mm throat. The cast iron table tilts, but not to 45 degrees, due to some silly H&S requirement. Fitted with a fully adjustable Kreg precision...

I am having to downsize machinery due to moving house. I got this many moons ago on this forum from @lastminute and I'm very sad to have to let it go. This is a single phase 240v conversion, with an awesome modern fence (installed and modified by lastminute). Comes with the original mitre...

I had decided to buy this stone before finding this deal, cheapest I can find anywhere else is £75 + P&P...

I have been using this quite a bit recently where I would normally use Danish Oil, it's pretty good stuff. You can occasionally get it on sale at Amazon, like now at £14.17 a litre if you have a prime account...

I was at Axminster on Saturday debating which shoulder plane to purchase but couldn’t pull the trigger due to the prices. I looked on eBay when I got home and managed to win a LN 073 for £103 from a seller who had several different LN planes listed from their collection, the seller also had...

Not sure if this is the right sub-forum for this... I have just got a 1996 S45 which is in pretty decent condition considering it's age. The only issue I have run into is the blade guide thrust bearings, it has the GL456's on the back and similar on the sides. I stripped, cleaned and rebuilt...

Hi, I just bought a bigger bandsaw and need to make room for it. This machine can resaw up to 150mm, pretty decent performance for it's size. The only issue is a missing plastic locking wheel on the fence, I just use a spanner. It comes with 2 brand new tuffsaw bands: SuperTuff Premium Bandsaw...

Decided to try my hand at some simple furniture with traditional joinery. Elm coffee table with dovetailed legs and a half lap stretcher. Ash console table with mortise and tenons.

10"x8" Green log of Monkey Puzzle, any advice from experience in turning this wood?

The sample box was finished with some Liberon Finishing Oil I had handy. SWMBO wants a less oily/smelly finish on the final boxes, but likes the dark unfinished vintage look. The wood is American Black Walnut. Any suggestions?

I knew I should have bought a tablesaw... This took far longer than expected, should get it finished tomorrow.

This was on the eventually list, but SWMBO wants some boxes and I need to cut a mile of mitres in 10mm walnut, which my CMS could do, but with a router I could be more accurate and add splines, and I do need a new toy to play with. Anyway, I have used but never owned a router and spent far too...

The wife has asked me to knock together some boxes for her small business as gift baskets. I have made a prototype from some nasty strip wood from the local dyi place, but am now struggling to source decent materials. Ideally I would like PAR 100x10mm black walnut as I have no finishing...

The Record Power BS250 is top of the list at the moment, any other contenders?

Having just started turning I am in need of a sharpening solution but the vast array of grinders available is making the choice difficult. I feel confident enough to have a go free hand, but may consider adding a jig at a later date. I think wide wheels and a slow speed would be best, but...

I needed a 'sturdy' bench for my new lathe and considering I don't have access to any other worktables, a table saw, a planer or a sander etc...I had to start with a pre-made kit. After much searching I found a relatively local supplier who had an ebay listing for this...

I think it's about time I posted something as I have been leeching advice for a few weeks now. I just purchased my first lathe, a DML305-VS (thanks Gerry) and the first pieces fell off it this weekend. Bowl #1 - Ash Bowl #2 - Ash Apple #1 - Ash I am in Chatburn near Clitheroe...
