Just seen this from Ryobi, looks quite handy for transporting toolboxes then using as a quick work surface. https://toolguyd.com/ryobi-speed-bench-workstation/ Thinking I could maybe fasten an MFT type top to one of these to create something similar. I know it wouldn't be that solid but could...

I have never used Simonswerk hinges before but have heard good things about them so thought I would give them a try on some cabinets I'm making. It didn't start well as the delivery didn't turn up yesterday as promised and when it arrived today the packaging was wrapped in parcel tape which had...

A wall panelling job I just finished, it's to create a 'snug' area in a kitchen. There are still some picture lights etc to go up and radiator to fit but that's not my department. Sorry photos are not great, I didn't realise how hard it is to photograph dark coloured rooms! Posh pipe...

Just looking at ideas for the future as my knees, shoulders and elbows can't keep up this joinery thing for much longer. My ex and I still own the house I currently live in (never got divorced, it's all too complicated!) and we think it would make a great holiday let, it's 4 bedroom, full of...

I'm making some cabinets for a customer and they want to use hidden magnets to hold the doors closed. The cabinet doors in their utility room have what look like knock in magnets (which are far from hidden!), this is the kind of thing they are after but I'm sure we can do better. The doors...

I've got a kitchen build coming up, it's a traditional style with face frames/inset doors and needs to incorporate an integrated fridge freezer, I'm not sure on the best way to make this work? For the fridge freezer the customer isn't keen on the method that people use where a face frame is...

I'm selling this on behalf of the widow of a keen woodworker who lived in the next village. I don't know the history of the machine, it seems in good condition and starts when turned on but that is about all I can tell you about it. Bandsaw £60 (comes with 2 brand new blades) Collection...

If anyone is after cheap T-LOC sys 5 ebay seems to be flooded with them at the moment, people selling them literally by the pallet load! Only thing is they look to have been used for carrying medical samples so don't know what they might have contained 🤔 Examples below...

I'm doing a wall panelling job and one of the panels is a push to open secret door to hide some electric boxes. There isn't much depth so I used 12mm MR MDF for the panel with a Tulipwood bead pinned around the edge to match the other panels, it was hung on a full length piano hinge. I know it's...

I don't normally use Ebay but have been watching a used Festool drill on it this week. The starting price was £30 and there were a few bids on it through the week until it sold for £45.50 this evening. Thing was within 2 minutes it was back up again with the same seller with a starting price...

Prompted by the other dust extraction thread I have a question I would like some opinions/advice on. I have a Jet DC1100 dust extractor which I use on my planer and spindle moulder, it just has a cloth bag for a filter. I keep thinking about upgrading the bag on it to one of the cartridge type...

My old faithful Festool CXS 10.8 has died, I've had it years and used it daily so not complaining. I need to replace it and not sure if to get the same again while there are still some available or go for the new 12v model. Thing that's putting me off the new one is a lot of reviews comment on...

My workbench is more of an assembly table and for a while I've wanted something that could take a bit of a hammering to complement it. I've had a few days off over Christmas and realised it was an ideal chance to build something. Google introduced me to a Moravian style which looked quick and...

ITS have some diamond stones on sale so I took a punt on a couple. Can't say how long they will last but I just used them to sharpened a couple of chisels and a block plane and they seemed to work okay 👍 Vaunt Diamond Sharpening Stone Single-Sided 200mm x 75mm Fine Also got one of the little...

Just acquired a big chisel and wondering what it's actually used for? The blade is 3" wide and the full length including handle is 22", it was among some turning tools. Is it a turning tool or just a big firmer chisel, should I be taking up timber framing? It's stamped I. Sorby, Cast Steel.

I'm looking for some old looking slotted round head brass screws, 1 1/2" x #8 (40mm x 4mm in new money), need about 150 of them. I can find normal brass but not aged brass (or bronze would probably do), well I can but at silly prices in packs of 10. Anyone know where I can get some at a...

A local decorator is painting some panelling I did and as always is making a lovely job. He's proper old school, did an apprenticeship back in the day, should be retired really but still does 3 days a week. I asked how he gets such a good finish (thinking it was just experience) but he said the...

We are setting up a trust and I am going to be a joint trustee. The financial advisor tells us it will need to be registered online with the HMRC but this is something he doesn't do. He says we can do it ourselves but it is quite complicated or we can use an agent to do it. I have spoken with an...

Just seen this on FFX, good price for a great drill if you already have some batteries. https://ffx.co.uk/product/Get/Festool-T18-3-Drill-5055945100303-18V-Cordless-Drill-Driver-Bare-Unit

I've just acquired this, Google tells me it's a brass infill mallet? Is it just a mallet with a bit of extra weight, it weighs about 2lb. I can't see any makers marks and it doesn't really look that old, are they a common thing? I shall be putting it to work tomorrow, it's certainly much...
