The problem with posting is it’s heavy and I suspect it would probably get damaged

Sorry yes I should have put the price in my post, I am asking £250 and the buyer collects, I’m located in mid Warwickshire.

I have a 3 phase converter for sale. I used to run a Felder BF 631 4 hp combination machine and a 1.5 hp bandsaw. Made by Silverdrive Engineering. While I had my Felder it performed very well, rock solid, if anyone is interested let me know.

Thanks for all the reply’s

Hi, I am thinking of making a small chest of drawers from some sycamore but would like to keep it as light as possible. My normal oil finish will darken the wood, I know that Osmo do a wax oil with a white tint but have never used it befor ( I have used normal Osmo on many things befor). Has...

I have used both the axcaliber and Tuff Saws blades and definitely prefer the Tuff Saws blades.

Hi, I looked into sound proofing my workshop so the neighbours would not be trouble. I went to the local college and read the various architectural texts that dealt with soundproofing. There is a big difference between soundproofing for say a recording studio and soundproofing to prevent sound...

Just a thought, how flat is your plane sole? I don't recognise your plane, if it’s not Lie Nielsen, Veritas or Clifton then you may have a plane sole that is not flat. I run any new bench plane over 100micron 3M finishing film fixed to 15mm float glass (if you order some make sure it is not...

A low angle blade is usually preferable for end grain and should be razor sharp. A standard angle plane such as your numbed 4 should still work well but you really have to make sure your blade is as sharp as you can get it and aim to take a very thin cut. Make sure the blade is well seated and...

And that’s a lot of resin.

My go to square is this one Kinex Engineers' Square DIN875/0 100 x 70mm use it all the time, the longer arm is fairly thick which gives a good bearing surface for marking knives.

I used one when setting up my new (1 year ago) band saw. I put it on a fully tensioned blade and squared the tables miter slot to the blade. Worked great. I may have been lucky but the fence did not need any adjustment and I get accurate resaws deepest to date around 200mm.

Have a look at Katz Moses’ YouTube on this. He is working with US data but the information is transferable.

I’d go for Titebond 3 for its longer open time with a few biscuits for alignment and an extra pair of hands. I think the standard white PVA’s were/are prone to creep and would weaken when wet. However PVA’s like Titebond 3 crosslink as the cure producing a 3D matrix that is very resident to...

Retired, best job ever should have done it earlie, highly recommended.

If you don‘t have much experience of Japanese saws I would get an inexpensive one to practice with. You need a gentle touch don’t push the saw back into the wood for the next cut with any force or you may bend the saw. Let the saw cut its own way through the wood don’t apply much downward...

Nice work

Lots of good advice from previous contributors. My most used tool is my bench, a split top Rubio style bench ( curtesy of Richard Maguire) it gives me many different work holding options and a solid as a rock, having your work held securely makes life so much easier. In general get the most...

Misty good designer, but a woodworker? Her final piece looked good but single screws into end grain! I’d give it a couple of weeks of use at most before it fell apart.

Timely post as I am looking into a small fire extinguisher as well. I came across this Water Mist Fire Extinguishers - For Most Types of Fire looks interesting and I think this is the way I will go.
