HI, sorry i'm a bit late on this but i work in groundworks usually do bases for houses ans large industrial buildings. I would recommend you put it on a 150mm slab if you work it out a shed comes out at about 1.8 meter cubed. If you get Gen 1 spec you could get a mini mix to deliver just watch...

I guess we'll have to wait and see where it is all going to end up, If it gets too bad i'll be off to Aussie. They might be having there own recession but at least the weather is better.. 8)

Just cut up 3 fallen trees today 1 beech and 2 oak we only ever use 16 or 18 inch saws a 16" saw cuts 32" if you go right round . get dragged back to the yard and we square them up as best as you can with a chaiinsaw then plank them about 3" thick and put them in a barn and let them air dry. :)

Your quite right wizer the hole world has jumped on the recession band wagon. I'm just glad some people still have common sense . i'm in ground works and joinery and were still busy and it's looking pretty busy next year. So at least some people still want work done, the good thing about it, is...

Many thanks ian. I have the same problem only a small shed . I have been looking at buying seperate thicknesser and a bench top planer just trying to work out which is best model to get . Charnwood do a good one with digital thickness setting but i know you can buy that to fit any thicknesser of...

I would like to know if i bought a planer/thicknesser with only doing small bits of furniture for home and friends would it work out cheaper if i bought already PAR wood or does it make sense to buy rough sawn and plane it myself. I'm just trying to work out if i can offset the price of a...

Hi no the t&g is floating with 3 braces underneath with over sized holes for movement. the t&g was already sealed i just sanded and sanded the top back to bare wood and put a wipe on poly 3 coats to get finish . God my trouble and strife would have a fit if i'd eaten of it . it's for a lamp to...

the top is t&g together edging and legs are biscuit jointed the top frame i half lapped and screwed and the frame is screwed through the bottom into the top. i left oversize holes to allow for movement.

this is my first project I've done in terms of furniture . its a small coffee table but i think its turned out ok. I bought a damaged box of t&g 19mm oak flooring from b&q for £10.

i think you've all got a point it just seems that everyone one on tv even the 2 new british woodworking programs are all using them. i think i'll have a rethink and get a new router with a decent extractor system on . thanks :D
