Hi glynster.....I just looked on my dusty shelf and I still have the said DVD - yours for £5 incl postage (i'll PM you). I am DIY and have a Charnwood spindle moulder and totally agree with other posts that a hands on course is much better. Before I ordered my SM I attended the two day...

When I lay floors in our house I now always take the skirting board off and replace it with new after the floor has been laid. Lesson learned after doing the first room with a cheap multitool. However...I have found that blade quality is important, and I now always use saxtonblades the fast cut...

just to add another option - I use Optimik. They also offer a free version

I remember going to a timber auction over 20 years ago and bidding on a fairly small lot (less than £10) ....when I went to load it in the car I realised it also included the 'huge' oak beams the lot was resting on. I remember that my circular saw at full depth cut from both sides still...

I looked at screwfix last week for some ball bearing runners but ended up getting (probably the same item) from Moderix - I needed 8 x 450mm long ballbearing runners and with next day P&P it was £23 from Moderix v £28 approx from Screwfix (and Moderix included the screws)...

you can still get cutlist 4.1 free for sketchup and it works in sketchup 16 (but you have to tell sketchup to manually import it as it wont work automatically - google how). That is good enough for sheet layouts as long as the components have sheet materials assigned to them and are in an axis...

It's late at night and I've read my way through the many posts and probably 'thank-ud' more than ever before because this thread really says it as it is.

last year I bought an expansion cylinder (the type you use on mains pressure hot water systems) from screwfix and on the box it mentioned that the new grey colour was a new coating the manufacturer was using....9 months later it sprung a leak as it had pin hole rusted. No quibble with Screwfix...

Another +1 for the JSP with impact protection visor and screen protector. I still have the original trend airshireld and replacement battery and psu but couldnt find a visor to replace the battered old one so bought the JSP version (from Toolpost?). It is excellent for what I need, wihich is...

not sure if something like this would suit...I made it from moisture resistant MDF and used pocket screws. The legs are fitted with two bolts at each end, but takes about a minute to assemble/disassemble. When flat the legs grip the underskirt but you could put blocks to retain them with the...

I've sorted out my 'missing' hard disc and resized the images to fit below 256k... I also fitted my normal 48 tooth festool blade today (albeit not a new one) and tried a test cut on an offcut of tekgaze. It was hard work, the saw kept trying to ride up out of the cut and after three passes...

I successfully cut and fitted them last weekend but haven't yet sorted my camera/pc photo problems so just a text update for now.... To cut the splashbacks I made a 3.8m long cutting board using OSBboard and some timber battens glued underneath. I put this on two tables to give me the...

Thanks Eric and Bob for the extra info. I realised yesterday that i had a couple of small sheets of 6mm clear perspex (bought last year to make a router jig) so I'll experiment on that first and update how I get on -probably at the end of the weekend. I'll search out some glue as I can use it...

thanks for that Dave - hopefully I'll cut mine next weekend using your technique (but with festool rail rather than tablesaw due to the 3.6m lengths)

Distinterior - do you just use a sacrifical board underneath the acrylic or did you sandwich it? Also what did you use (e.g 6mm mdf, ply, shuttering etc?). I've not yet cut my Akril (unplanned family events keep taking the weekends!) but also part of the reason is they are 3.6m long so I need...

Nick. +1 for no rush re BW - if it comes to it and you need to offer subscribers refunds you don't need to include me, any remaining money is better with you Dave

Well, I did it. three hours of CEL multitool and 5 Saxton japanese coarse cut blades and I managed to release the fixed units from the floor ( I banned my wife from the kitchen as removing the various end unit panels took some 'reverse engineering'). Once I'd got the floor 'floating' I...

Thanks, will do - the whole room has 10mm gap around the edge. I need to address this before it gets much warmer, so probably this next weekend.

As part of the new kitchen we included a freestanding rangecooker, but this had a black metal side that needed to be hidden. I toyed with the idea of an end panel fixed to wall, but settled on using four magnets screwed to the panel and these then just attached to the cooker. I initially...

thanks Rodders - I think I'll bow to the inevitable and finally re lay the floor but will try to 'retrofit' around the units first with my multitool. On the plus side, notifications now work for me :-)
