I have this area in my garage that’s a pretty useless space for efficiently organising things, and with having a small main workshop, everything has its place so I can work stress free. I wondered if anyone here had some ideas on how I can utilise this space well, rather than dumping...

Good evening all, I've seen a couple of posts on this subject, but they seem to be fairly dated, and I'm wondering if there's anything on the market or any advice available to help me with the issue. I'm desperate to have something in place to switch my chip extractor on/off with a remote...

Hello all, I've been using a Briwax to colour and protect a popular item on my Etsy shop for a while now, but it's becoming very time consuming and with demand increasing for this item, I'm struggling to keep up, so I'm looking for an alternative finish solution. I've been looking at purchasing...

Hi all, I'm getting busier with my side line job as a maker of things, my Etsy store is getting so busy now, my hobby has started to become a full time job. One thing I'm getting really tired with is the rubbing down of Briwax into a particular item I sell, as it's rustic so there's lots of...

For sale as per thread title. The saw is used, but not excessively as I'm a hobbyist woodworker with a small single car garage workshop. It does have the odd surface scratch, but so will a two week old saw with moderate use. I've just purchased a brand new fence for it (2 days ago) as I...

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the correct place for asking this question, sorry if it is. I recently made a couple of end grain cutting boards from white oak as a gift for someone, I used my planer/thicknesser to get the pieces perfectly flat, the boards were virtually flawless until a few...

I needed to rip some 220mm wide boards tonight on the table saw to two exact widths. My blade kerf is 3mm so I assumed I would need to subtract 1.5mm from the overall half width (110mm) to get two exact width boards. This didn't work and for the life of me couldn't work out what I needed to do...

Hello all, I'm almost done with a reception desk build project. I'm no professional when it comes to finishing and this piece needs to look rather special. The client would like the reception desk painted matte white to contrast well with the oak countertop. Any advice on application...

Good morning all, I'm currently designing a reception desk for a family members new business but struggling with deciding on suitable material. The carcass will probably end up being covered with either pre-made cladding (not my favourite option) or ill make some thin strips of walnut and...

Hi all, I need to buy a new blade for my table saw. I was thinking a combination blade would be best to prevent having to change blades between rip and crosscuts. I'm looking for a 40 tooth + blade. Is there any specific blade you'd recommend? Not too worried about price, I just want high...

I'm in need of more power in my garage to supply my new Jet JPT-310 and a dust/chip extractor that I haven't purchased yet which will of course be running along with the P/T. I'm no electrician, hence the thread but I know the wire currently installed in the garage from the consumer unit in my...

Hi all, I just purchased a new JET JPT-310 and wondered if it's necessary to have a chip extractor with it to make sure it runs correctly. I only have a small workshop and I could really do without a large chip/dust extractor taking up a lot of useable space. I have a Festool vacuum to go with...

Hello all, I need some advice. I'll start by saying woodworking is a hobby and I'm by no means a professional. Yesterday I was ripping some Sapele using my table saw when the offcut suddenly kicked back. This was a pretty scary experience, it all happened quickly and luckily I was using a...
