Hullo all, I'm trying to rip down some 120mm high oak at about 5mm thick on the bandsaw. It's got a brand new blade (25mm x 3tpi) and I'm using the Kreg resaw jig. Anyhoo the blade keeps jumping off the rear guide under the table, so the blade ends up on the round of the wheel rather than the...

:cry: HarperCollins have spoiled The Stig! After reading the flumf I don't know how they've managed it but I'm dissapointed none the less. The Beeb will get a hammering for spending £100,000 of taxpayers cash as well but that's something I'd happily spend it on :D

Has anybody used these? They're priced the same as the hinges we use every other time but as they have a sale on and I need some, seems silly not to get them! Thanks a'body :D

Hullo all, as the title suggests I'm going to buy a new comp! There's lots of numbers and whatnot floating around so generally I'd go with the higher the number, the faster the set-up... But that quickly gets expensive so thought I'd try and find what spec I need for what I use it for, namely...

Opened a business account at the end of June and applied for a credit card, mainly for fuel at £70 a week. 6 weeks later and I still don't have it, moaned about it already, was supposed to arrive in 7-10 days (ending yesterday) so phoned them up today and was told it'd be another 7-10 days from...

Mine keeps breaking or annoying me, texts don't send when you send them and now it won't launc HTC Sense which it needs to work! Bit of a shed of a phone actually! Anyone have one and had the same problems?

I have a wood sample board (no picture though!) which I'm looking to wall mount. It's basically a block of Iroko with a big old deep mortice routed out which the samples sit inside between shelf pegs. The samples are about 250 x 200mm or thereabouts. Anyway I'm planning to hold them in with...

I'm having a look for a a place to register my new company, I've done the Companies House search and everything but there's so many different sites that actually register it and I don't know which one to go with! Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with any in particular? Thanks all 8)

My smoother has some light rust on the body so I'm looking at these to tidy it up. Are they any good and what grade should I get?

Anyone see Donald Trump's appartment in Hello magazine? Very swish :D Disclaimer: Under no cicrumstances do I read Hello magazine. This article was viewed after peripheral vision got the better of me... :oops:

Paddy: Those steroids the doctor put me on have made me grow another willy... Mick: Anabolic? Paddy: No, just a willy

20 years this month since the Hubble Telescope was launched! Have a gander at the website gallery, it's absolutely amazing

Would a scraper shave be best for smoothing a slightly convex curve varying from about 5-20mm wide? They'll be veneered and I think good ol' abrasive will be a bit ropey. I haven't used a scraper shave before though so I'm unaware what they're really for but for £45 it could be worth the...

What would be the best substrate to use for veneered bed rails? I've made them before with a mitred mdf setup but that surrounded a bed whereas this time it'll support a mattress, probably double or king. I'm thinking some form of birch ply because if I make it from solid poplar or the likes...

I've always wanted to work for myself and I've decided I'd like to go for it in the near-ish future, say withing a couple of years. Anyway my 'rents have an old barn which would be a good starting point I would've thought but it'll need a lot of work, the idea being I can gradually work on it...

8-[ Seriously though, I locked my keys in the car earlier, and deadlocked it. I have the spare key here to try but was wondering if it's possible to open the deadlocks without it just in case it's the wrong one and I need to get a locksmith out :cry:

If I sell the Mini AND the Fiesta I might buy this for commuting

Just had a fox wandering about outside making the loudest screeching noise I've ever heard! Any idea why that would be? The cats were going mental :lol:

Unreleased Hendrix stuff is on it's way, Valleys of Neptune is the title song, due out on March 9th :D

As per the title, I've got some burrs to smooth :D What's the best overall for mid sized surfaces? The likes of a no.80, 112, maybe a wee un', good old sandpaper (hope not)... So many options :twisted:
