Hello all I'm just over a year into my woodworking and I feel it's time to do away with an old kitchen worktop style of around the wall and build a central (moveable if possible) work bench. I thought I would ask the "professionals" what your do's, don'ts and must haves are! All suggestions...

Hello Very interested in the trend router, Pm sent. Cheers Obraz

Hello all three I hadn't noticed the angle change but nice keen eye, I will endever to improve. People who have seen it in the wood also commented on the thickness, I could have made it thinner but as it was very light I decided to have a competed bowl and not risk cracking it. The foot is a...

Price here It's a new blade so should be sharp, I use good amount of pressure to cut through items and there are no speed settings. It's an old small machine (https://www.gumtree.com/p/power-saws/bl ... 1247008826) I don't know what I'm doing wrong, the blade is the right way round and the...

Hello all I'm very new at all of this but I had some spalted silver birch in the wood store and gave it a go. Comments the bowl and how to improve for next time please. Cheers Obraz

Hello all I have a small table top band saw, I put the saw on and sounds fine and free then the moment I put pressure on it it pings off. Can someone help and recommend what I'm doing wrong? Or a replacement if I have no hope. Cheers

Off to Brentwood this weekend, let's see what I get :)

Mbartelltt99, You're right they are but they're expensive as they do more kitchen work tops and table tops. They don't really sell planed wood. They also don't do turning rounds which is something I'm finding hard to find without paying a lot for delivery. Cheers for the help.

Planned would be better as I don't have a planer/thicknesser but I'm happy to put more work into it if you have a suggestion.

Cheers for the help katellwood, I will contact them. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and set aside a day to go shopping for wood. Cheers
