That's fantastic, thanks. I reckon even I could make that simple jig. That's this afternoon sorted!

I don't understand your first two paragraphs, that's how little I know about this stuff. I looked at the rockler jig it and the site says $69.99 + estimated duty etc of £29 ish. I can't justify the thick end of a ton too mess about, wish I could though.

Thanks. I'll post a picture tomorrow. I'm not bothered about the hinge being on show, I've just watched a Matt Estlea video on hinges and would be delighted to get them looking anything like that 😄

I am just practicing to see what I can do really, gluing the sides, back front together then gluing the top and bottom on. Really basic. I like the idea of an inset lid and pin hinges... How are the pins fixed in place?

I'm messing about with 44x12mm pine and making a few boxes. I've got to the point where I'm figuring out how to fit the hinges and want to have a go at both butt and flush hinges. I think I've got the right size butt hinges but I've no idea what size flush hinges I'd need to properly fit 12mm...

I'm not sure what you mean by 12mm shank, I only have a Ryobi trim router with a 6mm collet.

Someone gave me a jig for making finger joints. It's made from pine and looks like the pic attached. The gap between the fingers is 12mm. Is there a router bit (flush trim??) that will fit into that gap and fit into a trim router? I've looked and they all seem to be 12.7 mm or larger. Thanks.

Hi, Just been given a couple of No4 planes. Both are complete except for blades. Where is the best place to buy decent blades from? Cheers.

That's a really nice idea. Kind of an extension of the dovetail alignment board. Thanks, you've inspired me to give it a go!

My original plan was to mount it on top of the bench. Then I watched some David Barron videos and thought ... that looks good. I think I'll give it a go as a built in and see how I get on with it. Thanks.

Looks great but I'm not convinced I'll ever be able to gather the necessary mental and physical resources to be able to create such a thing.

Thanks everyone. Based on your feedback I'll go for the wds one. Thanks again!

I'm looking to install a moxon vice into my bench and have started looking around at hardware. Don't want to/can't spend too much so been looking around and found the wdscomponents one for around £65. I'm wondering if I could buy the components for less - don't even know where to look for...

Hi, I received a cordeless ryobi trim router for christmas. Anyone know if there is a plunge base attachement that would fit it? Thanks

Brill, thanks. I'll give it a go.

Making some kitchen shelves from larch cladding. Mrs wants them painted black so I'm thinking of using the Screwfix no nonsense black gloss. I haven't got any undercoat but I have some PVA and wondered if that could be used as an undercoat? Any advice gratefully received.

Yep, it's a Performance Power saw. Thanks guys, bore reducer it is! Cheers.

Hi, Cleaning out the garage this week and found an old circular saw I'd bought from b&q years ago. Still seems to work ok but the blade is knacked. Blade size is 190 X 24 bore. I've searched online but can't find anywhere selling that size. Anyone know if that size is still for sale in UK? Thanks

Chairs look good! Like the idea of redwood, I'll see if I can find some near me. 'stud wall in the garden' ..lol

Like the idea of a 'mud kitchen' . Missus wouldn't go for decking so I reckon I'll just have a go and see how things turn out.
