Evenin' all. Have been looking for a decent size bit for the brace I'm borrowing to bore some holes for legs on a stool I am making. I found this at a car boot last week for the grand total of 50p as it was the perfect size. However, having got it home and done a little reading, I don't think...

Afternoon peeps, Really need some bits for a brace and having never sharpened a drill bit in my life (will learn but not just yet!). I always see them at the car boot but never know what they're going to be like having not used them before. Is there a reputable source of old-style bits that...

Hiya guys, I thought I was having a good weekend, learning to use the plane and everything and today I've hit a bit of a snag. To put it in to context, I salvaged some old Sapele window frames as I thought I would be able to use the wood. I sawed off the bits that I thought would be useful and...

Might be a bit of a long shot, but have we got any woodworking gamers? Console/PC whatever. Being of the gaming age, it's what I do when I can't get out to the shed. I get home, have tea, get the kids shipped off to bed, have a catch up with the missus and then lose myself in a game. It's the...

Hey guys, Hope you're having a nice weekend! Just got back from local car boot- lovely walk and nice day! Picked up a couple of bits, one of them I was looking for (plane!) and the other two were collateral. Paid a total of £10.75 for the three, which I think is pretty good going. The gauge...

Hi all! Any chance of a quick ID on these wooden window frames from a mate's house? Relatively weighty, worth salvaging? On my phone so direct link easier thank upload! https://ibb.co/mWnJOv https://ibb.co/cuUbAa https://ibb.co/kBT3qa Thanks in advance! Nick

Hi guys! It's NEARLY the weekend which not only means time in the shed (poor man's shop!) but it means that the clocks go forward and we get some evening light, wahey! Getting to the point when I'm feeling like I could occasionally do with a spokeshave. To be fair, it's nothing I need...

Hi all, Hope you're having a nice weekend so far! Got a bit of a quandary- I've been making a crochet hook holder for a friend of my other half's. It's just made of pine, same as the one I did for my other half. When I did hers, I used a holesaw for the 18mm holes and although it took AGES to...

Afternoon peeps, Anyone have an idea of where I can buy a blank of the right kind of leather for chisel/plane iron stropping during the sharpening process? I really want to make my own stropping block but haven't really got the knowledge of the right kind of leather etc. TIA!

Morning all, New to woodworking, so treat me gently :P I was using my Bosch router yesterday to roundover some stripwood to make a frame. It was all going OK and then I needed to change bit, so I popped in my roundover bit not realising that it was much smaller than the straight bit I had...
