Does anyone have an idea what kind of wood this flooring is? Both are quite dense, around 900kg/cu m. On my screen the color looks pretty close. The one on the left is brown with a hint of red in the medium dark areas. The one on the right is very red. It was laid with bitumen, so it is quite old.

I have some recycled flooring that was originally laid with bitumen that I need to remove. I was thinking to get a mechanic's part washer, fill it with white spirit, soak it for a while and then brush it off. Has anyone tried this? Anyone have any better way to remove it? I plan to screw it down...

Is there anyone near Norwich that in addition to woodwork, dabbles in ornamental plasterwork for a hobby? I would be interested in trading molds and models. This is the kind of stuff I am thinking about (from previous projects) .

These are pics of the front door of a 1930s house in Norwich. I think it must have been common wood for exterior doors, since some neighbors that have original doors look the same.

I need to make some replacement windows for a 1930s house. I think the profile is called ovolo, but the roundover is circular, it is deeper in one direction. In the picture on the left the A distance is around 1/2 (~5mm) of the B distance (~10mm). Does anyone know where one can buy a matching...

I used to have a small horizontal router table in my previous shop that I mostly used for mortising to make wood paneling and small cupboard doors. I seem to remember that I saw it in some woodworking magazine, and they called it a mortising table. It had two tables about the same size fixed at...

I moved to Norwich last year and bought a 1930s detached house that is a bit of a wreck and the first thing I needed was a workshop. We have a deep yard about 9 meters wide, so I thought to use the workshop to divide the yard. I had in mind something that would look like this when viewed from...

I am building a workshop (4m x 7.5m internal size) on top of this: It is framed in 150mm which I plan to insulate with fiberglass or rockwool. I don't plan to heat it continuously, only when I am doing work that requires it. What to put on the walls? My first thought would be drywall, but in...

I am looking to buy a router table, and would like something sturdy (and heavy) with a sliding table. Something like the Record RPMS-R or Charnwood W015, they look very similar, both are heavy with cast iron tables, but they don't seem to make the Record any more. Does anyone have any...

I am looking for a thicknesser for my home workshop, at least 10" wide with a spiral cutterhead. So far I have found the Axminster AT260SPT and the iTech 260S, both a bit above the 1500GBP mark. Are there any other similar machines available in the UK? I would not mind buying used, but it...

New to the forum, new to the UK, thought I should post something. Here is a cabinet I made when I first started to become interested in woodworking. The finish is linseed oil and shellac, and the leaded glass was with copper foil. Sadly I had to leave it behind in Canada. Never did quite finish...
