So having had a small discussion on the design here I've made a start on the build of this project. (hammer) I'm going to begin with the storage bins at the bottom. So first I cut down the full sheets using circular saw and homemade guide rail: I ended up with a collection of boards like so...

The problem: Toys everywhere!! :( I've looked around at storage solutions in the shops and nothing seems to be quite right. Too small, wrong shape, wrong size and mostly far too expensive. So SWMBO has ordered one of these: I got this pic a couple of years back online somewhere and can't...

Hi All, I posted a couple of notes at the end of last year whilst I was thinking about my new workshop :D . I have room for a large shop but have decided to stick with what is allowable - we are putting a large extension on the new house as well and don't want to upset the boat there by asking...

Hi All, My new garden has 8 very large ash trees. The garden has been left to go wild and these trees not only block out all the light but are way over size for the garden. So they've got to go. Now it would seem an opportune moment to get hold of lots of Ash stock. So my question to folks on...

Hi All, I've checked my local council planning website but can't find an answer to this question. I'm planning to build a new workshop in the next few months. The workshop will be at the back of my garden which borders a rail line. The workshop will be 35meters from my house and at least 50+...

HI All, So here's a couple of pics of my 2nd project (not so much detail here as the first :( ). I made these table a couple of years back for the spare bedroom. European Oak. The tools used were mostly hand tools & elbow grease - I did use an electric drill to remove most of the material...

Hi All, My local free ads paper has a Dewalt 125 radial arm saw for £100. Any views on weather this is a good price or a good saw? I'm not sure of the condition but if comments are positive I'll ring the seller and get some more info. Cheers for now, Mike.

Hi, I've been waiting for the right project to begin my turning adventures. With a home move imminent and new stair gates needed it's the ideal time to dip my toe in the water. So, in the short term (next 6-8 weeks) I'd like to make 2 stairgates that contain ballustrades to match the existing...

Hi all, My first major post to the forums. Just wanted to get some feedback on this project - I'd particularly like some pointers on what I could do better next time and what you might have done differently. Hope the post isn't too long but I've found it a useful exercise to write this...

Hi All, I'm a relative new comer to woodwork (only 2 proper projects under my belt so far!). I have a design for a coffee table and am wondering what type of joint I could use to make the join between the legs and the table top. I've done a quick drawing in SU to show what I mean. I'd like to...
