I want to get an Amazon Firestick. My TV is an older Samsung from 2011. The model is D Series e.g. UE40D6500. Will it work with a Firestick? There is no info on Samsung website. It does 1080P but doesn't work well with an Apple TV except for trailers - not protected. From what I read HDCP was...

With big screws do you need a pilot hole all the way? It's into "end-grain" but with a dowel to screw into... I have a frame that's underneath the top of a "bought" workbench. The frame has a top rail on each side with feet and a lower rail on the floor. They come with each foot attached with...

I searched for a HOWTO for strengthening plywood e.g. adding an edge brace, without success on UKWorkshop. I want to brace the long edge of a piece of 1/2" (12.3mm) birch B/BB plywood to prevent it twisting or bowing (in a workbench). My first thought was to add a brace e.g. 3/4" x 1 1/4" to...

I want to drill a dead straight 10mm concentric hole in a spindle about 100mm deep without it wandering off e.g. by not following the grain and not staying true. The spindle is the hub for a wheel so needs to limit any later wobble e.g. it shouldn’t prove the hole hasn’t stayed true. Instinct...

I have a project with cherry. I want to even out the colour because on the front there is a consistent colour with interesting markings etc. but on the back I have a mixture of “normal” and “lighter” e.g. some sapwood (perhaps with hindsight too much) showing. I want to bring the lighter wood...

I have two neighbours nearby and live in the countryside. One thinks it's "cool" to make stuff and is far enough away that the noise isn't a problem. The other is a "little concerned" about the noise I make. We agreed that I would keep the noise down by closing the door. He uses his equipment...

I have a requirement to make a turned "planter" style bowl and I'm not sure the best approach to use. The bowl is to be made so that it can be hung on a wall - the effect is that 1/2 of the bowl comes out from the wall and the bowl has a "back" e.g. it's not something that can be turned like a...

Suggestions welcome! I have a new bandsaw and want to increase the flexibility by aiding mobility and adding casters. I have some heavy duty casters which have two braked and two free wheels and support 200kg+ The bandsaw as only just over half this weight - so should be ok (if properly...

I would like to finish a bath panel in white. It’s made of a software frame and three hardwood plywood panels. Not quite finished. What alternatives are there to sealant, primer, undercoat and top coat? I would like to maintain some of the character of wood grain (and hopefully a long life)...

I have seen youtube videos for larger platters and have been experimenting with larger workpieces up to 25" diameter. What sort of woodturning tool is used to get a good flat finish? I have seen mention of a negative rake scraper but I don't have one. I have experimented with a pull cut with a...

I'm looking for hardwood suppliers near Salisbury (or Southampton) for woodturning e.g. closer than Yandles. I can cut bowl blanks from boards and rip wide stock into smaller sizes. In particular I'm having trouble finding suppliers of distinct light (Sycamore/Maple) or dark species (Purple...

I'm considering an AT2030VS, and using the extension (as an outrigger) for workpieces that are up to 24" diameter, occasionally. AT1624VS and extension is too long for me.

I'm looking at trying outboard turning e.g. putting the headstock in the middle of the lathe bed facing forwards and using a freestanding tool rest to turn (bigger than the normal swing) bowls. I was going to make one from 2x4 timber (12" wide frame and required height) and a 3/4" plywood foot...
