    Withdrawn Extractor for lathe / small planer etc.

    Hi, I’m a bit of a newbie, is this supposed to clear dust from the air, or take dust directly from a machine?

    Making small circles

    Cut a neat right angle into some scrap ply, clamp it to your router table. Place your rough disc of wood tight into the elbow. Rotate the disc by hand so the the outer edge of the wood is against the router cutter. Done

    Lots of hot air

    1. Thanks for cheering us all up. I really needed that. Fabulous. 2. You haven’t written anything original and you haven’t provided any solutions so what was the point of this? 3. I came to this forum to escape into a joyful world of woodworking, not to read poorly punctuated amateur climate...

    Are phones too complicated?

    Could I get the app to connect to the printer? No way. I have had this problem, this is how I fixed it. It’s nothing to do with your phone: your router provides 2 WiFi networks, 2.4ghz and 5ghz. The printer only uses 2.4ghz. The phone uses both, but needs to be connected to the same network as...

    Your opinion about logos.

    I've run a branding/graphic design business for 14 years. Honestly your question doesn't have a simple answer, some people spend a lifetime distilling the essence of one brand. In the simplest terms: if your brand is working it should optimise the value of your product and create some level of...

    Charge for using copyrighted photo PicRights

    It sounds like they’re within their rights. I would write a very polite, humble, apologetic letter explaining that she didn’t benefit financially from use of the image as it was used in error for a charity post. Ask very politely for proof/confirmation that PicRights are/represent the rights...

    My first proper router table

    Cool, thanks! More questions! Did you drill all the way through and then adjust height from below, or just keep lifting the plate up and adjust from above? Did you threadlock the grubs or did they stay where you put them anyway? Did you screw the plate down or did you let it float on the grub...

    My first proper router table

    I’m sorry if this sounds stupid. How do your leveling fixings work, and where did you get them please? I installed my Kreg plate into a chunk of kitchen worksurface and (as instructed) “shimmed” it with masking tape. Your solution is so much more elegant!

    What are these?

    I’m so excited. I’m a complete newbie and I know what the second picture is. It’s a skew chisel for a lathe, which has been sharpened to a stub and is therefore completely unsellable.

    Hi, I went out to Toolstation and bought a £40 bench grinder, but now I'm worried it might not do the job, is there a specific spec I need please, before I tear open the box?

    Best grinder for tools

    Hi, I saw a comment somewhere on here that said "When you buy a grinder make sure it has stones suitable for sharpening HSS tools, not the standard grey stones" does that mean you cannot use the grey stones at all for HSS? I bought a £40 grinder from Toolstation last night in a hopeful mood...

    What tool(s) would you buy for £200?

    I have a couple of hundred pounds to spend on a birthday present for myself, not a huge workshop. A full-sized lathe won't fit easily What tool or tools have you bought yourself that you used all the time or gave you particular satisfaction? I already have a drill/driver, impact driver, table...

    Table Skittles Project - No Plans!

    Who doesn't love table skittles? I'm planning to make my own set, I'm thinking walnut, black felt and polished stainless steel/chrome (rather than oak, brass and green baize). Nice box joint corners. Trouble is that I have no idea where to get the plans from, does anyone have an idea where I...
