    Plug advice / help

    Hi, I have an old 110V transformer and need a plug to fit it. I'm not sure what this type of plug is called (i.e. what to search for on eBay etc.). It looks like the "lower" two pins have flats on the inside. Has anyone any clues as to what I'm looking for? Thanks

    Making a finial

    I'm making a finial which is about 1500mm long in total, out of iroko. The top part of it is a "spike" which is hexagonal. See pictures of original, CAD render of new one, measurements of new one (110mm a/f, 560mm long). I'm after some "best practice" for making this. I can think of three ways...

    Furniture Restoration Course

    Anyone got any personal recommendations for furniture restoration courses in the North of England? I can use Google, but someone's personal experience is what I'm after. Ideally a week long course where you can bring a piece of your own to work on.

    TH410 Thicknesser

    I have a TH410 thicknesser which has broken the speed control. Not a great problem, since it “defaults” to the lowest feed speed, but I may be selling this machine and would like it to be 100%. The part that is broken is shown in the picture. Does anyone have one of these machines and could help...

    Timber for roof finial

    I've been asked to make a roof finial. Dimensions overall are 1500mm long, 120mm square. It consists of a spike of 600mm and a 900 square section with turned ball. The construction should be straightforward, but Im not sure what the "best" timber for this would be. Clearly it's the sort of thing...

    Hardwood for Window ledge

    I've been asked to make two hardwood window ledges, roughly 2" x 1" and 7ft long. The customer has asked for hardwood, including sapele or teak. Anyone know of any suppliers in Lancashire (Preston area, but I'll travel). I've tried one or two, but no joy so far. I'm after rough sawn to machine a...

    Speaker enclosure

    I've been asked to make a speaker enclosure for use on the deck of a boat. The enclosure is about the size of a shoe box (size 10) and the speaker is a marine specific type. I'm making it from teak. Ideally, it'll be a) watertight b) have a removable base (or top). I'm going to construct it with...

    Wood "splashback"

    The boss would like me to make a wooden "splashback" for our utility room, for the space between the cabinets and the worktop. I'm not sure what the best method of construction is, given wood movement etc. It won't get wet where it is. The wood will be olive wood, in some form of staves (or even...

    Trend T5 or Festool OF1010?

    I've broken my T5 by dragging it off the bench with the vacuum it was attached to. Doh! I posted on another thread about the repair, but I've had it looked at and its probably uneconomic to repair. It was made in 2000, so 21 years old, it doesn't owe me anything. I'm going to replace it, but...

    Trend T5 repair

    I've got an old Trend T5, which was working perfectly until I moved the vacuum it was attached to and dragged it off the bench. Only v minor mechanical damage, but the router does not switch on. I checked the switch and this is OK and mains voltage is getting to the circuit board in the top of...

    Routing a slot

    Currently I make a small product for which I route a 30mm slot in a 45mm wide piece of hardwood (see diagram). I need to scale this up, to route a 48mm slot in something probably about 62 mm wide. I use the router table for the current operation and its fairly simple since I have a 30mm cutter...

    JET JWBS-16X

    I've got this JET bandsaw and I've managed to break the lower guide assembly (don't ask). I may be able to get a spare (they are available in the US, not sure yet about the UK), but does anyone know of an aftermarket / retrofit guide system for this saw? The lower guidebushes are a pain to...

    Jacobs Chuck

    I have a Record drill press and I'm thinking of replacing the current Jacobs chuck with a keyless one. It's a MT2 one, so I guess there's plenty around. Anyone got any recommendations (even "don't do it")? I don't use the drill press a lot, but when I do I often seem to need two or three bit...

    Toggle clamps

    Any recommendations (I’m OK with Google) for toggle clamps to use on a sledge for a tablesaw to saw straight edges on waney edged boards? The sort that will hold the board to the sledge. Thanks.

    Making a kitchen worktop

    I'm making a kitchen worktop in olive - finished size 20mm thick. I'll be making it from probably 75mm staves, with loose tongues (20mm x 6mm) to joint the staves. I'm not sure if I should use an edge jointing cutter on the end grain, or loose tongues again. It's a straight 2.5m run, no joints...

    Sash clamps

    I've got about 8 Record sash clamps (44") and I'm after some new ones. Any recommendations for either which make, or where from? I've heard good things about Piher, but know nothing about them. One of the uses of these will be clamping up small table bases, the other main use will be for...

    Sash windows

    Anyone on here know of anyone who would be interested in repair / replacement of sash windows in Lytham St. Annes? Not for me, but for a guy I know. It’s not something I’d be interested in.
