I found one U.K. company. Bandsaw parts, sadly they only ship within the UK. I may give them a call and arrange Royal Mail to do a pickup, tracked if the package falls within the RM requirements.

Hi all, Seems the top tyre on my SBW3501BC (Axminster) band saw decided to say goodbye. Typically on a Sunday too. Although I will seek a replacement, found the .pdf manual via a Google search, would anyone have any advice. Should I only replace only the one tyre, or do both. Maybe the...

I am curious, having not been in the UK, for close to thirty years, l used to use a lot of ash and beech. Was living near Thornbury near Bristol. Now I am in Hungary, outside of pine construction every thing you get commercially or from the forester is in logs - width length are the working...

How about, find a mate with a bandsaw. May be easier.

Köszönöm szépen

Thank you, it was harrowing at first, especially with the “you will never walk again”, rubbish. Fortunate for me, daughter is a yoga practitioner. We fired the first two doctors, as they considered themselves gods within their roles, not to be challenged, not to be questioned. Now I have a open...

Approx 6 months, thanks for asking.

In early April 2022, I was unfortunate to suffer a broken spine related to removing asbestos sheets from a shed roof. After months of laying in bed later limited movement in a wheelchair. The good news is as of today, I am now on crutches and able to visit my workshop. After celebration...

Buy a Land Rover, an old series or such. Park that there for a few weeks. The existing stain will be pale in comparison 🤩

Hope they are not going to hit the ‘black stuff’ and a curry after 🤩

An apt post at an apt time. I have never really had a workshop related accident due to being a nerd regarding, HSE and disconnecting machines from power prior to blade changes etc. I had once a router bit shatter, I have a post on this forum somewhere. Otherwise only nicks and splinters...

Let me snap one over the weekend

That’s precisely what I have moved to ‘a portable workshop’. The only static pieces I have now are 2x benches, shelving. Power sockets and an element of lighting. Even my clamps now have their own portable wigwam. A set of fun projects, and joint making practises. Oh even the beer fridge is...

That’s a horrifying article. Imagine slipping and going head first. Makes one shudder.

Suffering from poor eyesight, I now tend to create story sticks. Easier on the eyes than reading a rule. Annoyingly I have about three pairs of glasses lying around but can never seem to find them when required. Fun too when tying up hook lengths for fishing.

I am in the middle of a weight challenge right now. Am at the age of 57. So far I have gone from 33% body fat, to 26. My goal is 22%. I eat more steamed veg, keep portions low, and fish and chicken. I must say being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, does put another perspective in life. As...

Marmite. Love it cheese and marmite on toast 🤩

I was on the verge of teaching woodworking with hand tools prior to the pandemic, as a part time income in the evenings. Sadly my keen students cancelled. It was a great exercise in replanning the workshop. Since then it has never looked so clean and tidy my wife thinks I’m having an affair 😆

I have a Veritas skewed block plane. I had a client purchase it for me as part of a commission some time ago. It’s pricey, but another dimension to planing, especially on some tricky grained hardwoods. Not used the rebate function on it yet.
