I've recently moved my workshop (moving house was easier..) and quickly set up my 01446 again for use, and remembered why it drives me insane. I have the same issue as you with the mitre slots not aligning to the the blade, the adjustment is a pain in the buttocks as mentioned with the 4 bolts that...

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm looking to use it to mostly break down sheet into manageable sizes for my CNC and table saw. The makita looks good, but may be over budget currently!

After a track saw for around £200-£300. Would rather buy a Preloved decent brand if anyone has one available! Otherwise recommendations for a new model around that price range would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

I was given this almighty lump of timber that my workshop neighbour had lying around in a garage for 20+ years. I can't for the life of me work out what it is.. It's incredibly dense, and heavy. This piece is about 60mmx150mmx1400mm and weighs around 40kg. If anything it smells slight...

Did you manage to get anywhere with this? I've just seen the thread & own a 01446. I can take some photo's this weekend if that's of any help.

Thanks for the tools Andy. Top bloke

Hi all, As the title suggests I'm in the search for a Planer Thicknesser or a Lunchbox style thicknesser at ideally 13a. I'm based in York and have access to a small van should that be of help. Cheers

Thanks for the replies guys, all points are being considered. RE the redwood, I plan to use Tanalised Scandi Redwood from an old employer, who makes play equipment. I think i'll go back to the landlord and see what he would prefer in terms of placement/look of the door. Does the anchor method...

Hi AJB, thanks for the reply. Owner is fine with changes, it'll be painted blue to match. They slide inside the building correct, I've been going to add brushes but the door themselves are shot and require a decent amount of work to repair to make them properly secure. Additionally I lose...

Hi all, I rent an old farm outbuilding as a workshop, and I'm currently in the process of winter-proofing. A main concern of mine is the door is an old barn style sliding door - that is quite rotten. It's not very secure, or water tight & blows a draft through all 4 sides. My plan is to build a...

A march update: Lots of progress, added drawers, a top & some cupboard doors to the rear units. As well as a tool board that I'm toying with the idea of a shallow wall mounted cabinet on to hold paints/finishes etc. To the right of that is "tea facilities" and a shelf unit I'm making for...

Another Update! Recycled some bits of chipboard & other materials to make up some units on the back wall. I plan to use all this as storage, with 2 banks of 4 drawers in-between the cupboards. Next up is sorting a top (thinking 18mm MDF), as well as drawer boxes & fronts. I plan to mount some...

Hi all, Thought I'd give you a quick update of the floor in question. I made a frame from pressure treated timber and levelled it with "stumps" I scribed from below. I boarded it with 22mm P5 flooring sheet from the local BM (i got 5 sheets free!). Many screws later and I have a solid, level &...

Perfect! I'm oversight from myself

Hi Steve - it'll be Caberfloor I'm using! Seem's a good option. I'll keep that in mind Mike, thanks for the that! I'll also look at some non-slip options, I am tempted to pva coat it, then apply a non-slip paint or similar.

Hi all, Thanks for the comments! It is a beautiful old building, definitely in the need of some TLC. It's been used as storage on a farm/stately home for a few years. Interestingly the smaller sliding doors open out into further units left & right of my workshop, currently they're just used for...

Hi all, New to the forum, and have began my journey into Woodworking with my first little workshop. (I out-grew my old "covered workbench" at home). I spent the weekend clearing out the previous occupants stuff, and in the process of dismantling the old units. However I'm a little stumped what...
