I am in a bit of a quandry with my TS-200 and was hoping someone more experienced in such matters might help put me straight. I bought it used some time ago with a particular job in mind but unfortunately have only been able to fiddle with it on occasion. I gave it a bit of a service, cleaning...

Hello all, I want to make up some of TGV and bead panelling as per the profile below and I was wondering if MR MDF would be suitable? It's a material I am relatively unfamiliar with in so far as machining it goes and my cursory research on it does not fill me with hope. This profile is...

Hello all, I've been offered an old Wadkin AGS 12" of 1972 vintage that is in need of a new motor and pulley and was wondering what the general consensus is on this saw. It was originally 3 phase and converted over with a 240v motor etc but that motor has since become damaged through the old...

I've been having a bit of a play with finishes on two different types of timber I'm considering for flooring, doors etc (Honduras Pitch Pine and Douglas Fir) and I've not been able to decide between them. I've used Liberon Superior Danish Oil and Liberon Tung Oil on my floorboard samples, four...

Hello everybody, I've been looking through this forum for quite a while and I figure it may be the best place to get some valuable advice! I've just joined and hope that I might pick the brains of the more experienced than I on a couple of woodworking matters that are very much on my mind...
