This is brilliant information and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

I actually just got some 10mm veneered mdf from Arnold Laver to try out. It seems pretty good, but I was still curious about the engineered stuff as the samples just arrived in the post today. Thanks for the links above though, I'll get a piece of the ply to compare as well.

I was trying to attach a replacement baseboard below a kitchen unit. I had a piece of melamine but there was a protruding bit of tile adhesive around the cabinet leg. I used a brad point bit to drill the shape out in the side. The last bit didn't bind properly and the drill skidded off into my...

Hi folks. Has anyone used the above in any projects? I came across them while researching stuff for making my own kitchen cabinets that look like real wood but use sheet goods. I ordered samples in A4 sheets from justwoodveneer.co.uk and they seem pretty good. I've done lots of wood veneer...

That piece looks great. I found the sanding sealer you referred to, but what's the specific finish? Cheers!

Which part isn't correct?

So I've had a read and the gist seems to be that some people who are not at risk from Covid-19 are happy for those who are to be sacrificed for the good of the economy. Did I miss anything?

I thought the concept of a "sharpening thread" was a bit of a forum joke at first, but I've begun to see the light!

These look great and that's a really nice price. I don't "need" one so I'll pass for those who do, but kudos for the offer.

Please remove this if it's deemed not constructive. I'm amazed by the fulsome and generous response that this forum is providing to somebody who's acting (in my opinion) very unreasonably. It looks to me like rubbish wood is getting tearout around a particularly knotty area. Those same knots...

No opinion myself on the merits of sharpening Vs buying sharp, but have you made a bench hook, and do you have a plane and shooting board? I don't see things square, but finished pieces certainly end up that way.

I've got a Triton tracksaw that has the scoring function. Thus far I've not used it as by putting a piece of insulation foam under the workpiece and the track held firmly on top, I get a lovely cut both sides of the cut each time on plywood, mdf and 3cm cherry (so far).

The longer the plane, the less it follows the rise and fall of the wood. So a longer plane needs stuff to be relatively flatter before it's really effective. When you're flattening a board you need to reduce high spots before you really get to plane the entire thing level. You also need a large...

Apologies I didn't mean it was for sale. I just meant that if you can take advantage of the one offered, I think it will work well for you.

I have one of these on wheels (I made a stand from an ikea bedside table with casters). It works really well, albeit I use sacrificial timber at start and end of feeding to avoid snipe. I do face and edge flattening by hand and use the triton thicknesser to get pieces uniform. Works well in a...

Received this yesterday. Thanks a lot Phil. I donated to the blue family charity, which is run by Everton in the Community and provides food and support for people who've been socially isolated by Covid-19. I love what they do, and I've been a supporter of the charity for a while now.

Apologies you're absolutely right and I'll change that now. Too much codeine! In the vast majority of cases yes, but really gnarly wood could still catch in some way and try and kick back.

Please, anybody reading this thread looking for advice with their tablesaw and fence, just follow these guidelines. Don't start modifying your fence to try and shorten it, or sticking another fence over the top that's shorter, or worrying about pivoting stock on a correctly aligned fence (you...
