I have the above dovetail jig and would like to know if you can cut finger joints using this jig?

Can anyone recommend a decent Air nail gun? It's for firing brads from 8mm to 50mm long. I had an Axminster one for years until it "gave up the ghost." I recently bought a Draper one and its useless. Thanks Arnold9801

Don't know what you mean, but I'll research it to see if I can get a photo of it and go from there. Thank you.

Very shortly I'll be boarding the partition walls on our new build. I've done all the studs but I'm wondering if theres a low key laser tool I could use for highlighting the vertical lines for when it comes to screwing the boarding to the studs? I've marked the centres of the studs on the...

I use these for cleaning of my beehive frames, but today it was knocking off after a few minutes. Can anyone advise me on whether this is simply due to a faulty thermostat and if so are they readily available? Regards

I'm thinking of changing my existing Elektra Beckhum Cross cut for a new one. It's been a brilliant tool and have had great use out of it for 26 years but would appreciate an update. I particularly want the new saw to have the trench cut facility which is not on my Elektra. I seem to be...

Does anyone have a Proxon angle grinder they no longer use that they would be willing to sell? I would like one to assist with my carving. Arnold9891

I’ve got to make a lot of wooden partition walls soon and although when I’ve done them before I used my cordless drill driver which gets a little monotonous and inefficient. This latest project is going to be big and for efficiency was wondering if it would be worth buying a Makita drywall screw...
