Hello dustmakers, I'd like to brainstorm best way forward for getting my desk top board sorted for a corner desk. Here is the rough design - wanted thick plywood, 20-30mm thick ish, and either buy veneered, or veneer it later. That's a minor detail. Some leg system, probably castle joints...

Finishes for sale (Osmo, Lindseed, Tungoil) Bought them as I am still fairly new to the craft, tried a little, and I don't think I will be using them. So best if someone can use them instead. I'm now using Odies oil for everything, really. I'm living near Daventry. DM me with offers - I don't...

For sale, woodworking WoodRat. I bought it second hand, wanted to use it, but never found a space on a wall for it, so I never tried it. Realising now that my small garage will never give me the chance to play with it, I'm planning to part ways with it. Things WoodRat related on pics are...

Hi all, I've got my jointer/thicknesser in Axminster service. It's the spiral head model with 260mm width of cut. I found out that over the width of the thicknessing, it's off by 0.5mm. Cutter head not parallel to the table, and non-adjustable (or at least not meant to be by a customer). In my...

Good day you all! Just seeking advice / confirmation that I'm doing it right. And if not, what am I doing wrong, please. I got myself one of those Wagner Orion 950 moisture meters, to get some science behing the wood readiness. So I've got a chunk of wallnut I want to use in a hall. Entered...

Folks, very dear family members will celebrate this great anniversary towards the end of the year, and I'm scrumbling for ideas, or if those of mine are any good. I thought of making high-end cutting board, end grain, thick and large in footprint, maple walnut combo. Just doesn't seem to be...

I'm trying to put together a database of people, who are open to meet new people, have a chat with them, show & explain some machinery, or maybe even do a little work for someone who does not have the gear needed to do the work him/herself. For example, I have at home a jointer/thicknesser...

I'd like to build a database of people who posses woodworking tools, and would be willing to let other Woodworkers (who don't have the tools) stop by in their workshop, and help them out, by either letting them use the tool, or do few things for them. For example, I've got a nice...

I'm closing on my workbech build, gonna be drilling 19mm holes for holdfasts. I was looking online what's out there, and it's a mix bag, and I can't make my mind up. I'm looking for inspiration, and some good experience with that you use, so I can decide what to buy myself. I've done a quick...

I'm looking for an individual, or a company, that would help me square up my large timber, so I can finish the workbench build. I'm based near Daventry (NN11 xxx) What I have at home, is glued section of a workbench top, that need further gluing, but I'm struggling to get a nice flat surfaces...

Does it exist? Ta

I'm not sure how many people are aware, but this product is a god sent mirracle to prevent any corrosion... ACF-50 - if you can, Highly reccomend to buy. Got to know it through motorbikes, but it was developed for aviation first. It 'soaks' into the metal, kills corosion if present, and...

Gents, Just got my new clamps from Axminster, and they have a bit of a play with them. They come back to me saying it's 'normal'. What do you guys think? I thought there would be no play in them at all. Pictures from the same clamp. Cheers

Chaps, I've got two things for you to help me with, please... One, the boards on the first two pics, is that Mahogany? I've got it from an auction, and I'm just not sure. If yes, what's it worth? I have maybe 20 odd boards of it, they are 1m to 2m long, and about 20mm thick, maybe 12cm wide...

Freshly landed in Axminster. and some article about it. I'd like to know what people think. It's a lot of money, but I've had a dovetail jig in my mind for quite some time. "machine acuracy" is atractive to me, but the gaps in the joints on video looked a tad too big for my taste, and for this...

Good day to you all. Did anyone buy a saw blade for above dewalt table saw? I'm still using my factory one (general purpose), looking to buy a nice blade for ripping, and a second one for crosscut. The options seem limited due to the blade size (210mm dia, 30mm bore, 1.8mm width) I've come...

Good day to you all. Got this beauty this week, can't wait to have a play with it, calibrate, and mill some lumber! I have ordered the optional "digital" read for the thicknessing mode. It's analog, really, but it shows numbers down to a 0.1mm. To my surprise, it came fitted on the machine...

Greetings, I'm new to woodworking, new to the forum, but I've been visiting for a while. Anyway... I'm finishing my project, glue is drying. Time for a finish is approaching. I've built a pine rack/shelfing unit for glasses for my Mrs. for her kitchen kingdom. I'd like to ask you for help...
