    Cabinet Question

    I am going to be embarking on a custom laundry room project shortly where there will be a bunch of fairly specific cabinets that will house (hide) a water softener, a sceptic tank soak-away pump, a bunch of pipes, a CCTV security system and then general storage for my laundry room. I was...

    Very large panel glue up, advice needed

    As mentioned in an earlier post, I'm making a worktop for a bar in my house out of red oak which I'll be staining black. I want to have a single continuous panel look rather than 2 pieces attached together, overall length will be 11 foot. My plan is to glue up as per the rough layout in the...

    New planer questions

    So I got myself a new planer (jointer as they call it here) as my old Kity 637 is proving to be a bit dinky for the 12 foot 6/4 oak I'm working with. Picked up a Busybee CX08 8 inch machine which is a generic Chinese model which on first impressions seems good for the money, definitely not...

    Heating a insulated workshop

    Hi all, not sure if UK forum is the best place for this question or whether I need to find one in Canada but as many of you may know, i relocated from Leeds to Saskatchewan Canada in 2021. While there are many differences, perhaps the biggest change has been the weather with temperatures last...

    Refinishing a Floor

    I have a quick question about how to refinish a floor and what to use if anyone has any experience. I have solid maple flooring which is in need of refinishing. I am also pulling down a wall which will mean putting in some new bits of flooring so refinishing makes sense to make it all match...

    New sander

    I am in the market for a new sander, I am currently weighing up whether to get a 5mm stroke sander or if I can do with a 3mm stroke. I have a Festool rotex 150mm so part of me thinks I could be fine with just a 3mm sander but at the same time I think a 5mm will be very convenient. Be glad of...

    Help user Slate1234

    As many of you may have seen, user slate1234 listed his workshop machinery to try raise funds to replace his tools that had been stolen. He needs these tools to make money and many of us on here were saddened by the idea he would have to sell his machinery. I have set up a gofundme page to...

    Undoing a bow in a panel

    Hello, I'm making some round end tables and i have glued together some panels. The panels have sat for a week and have developed a slight bow, I don't have the thickness to flatten them, is there anyway of undoing this in another way? It's probably related to the fact I left them in my very...

    Festool knockdown fastners

    I'm keen to hear people's experience with these. I have the DF500 and want to make a double bed and was wondering if festools knockdown hardware is strong enough for a bed so it can be dismantled to get into a room. Or could anyone offer any better ideas for this situation?

    A few may remember I moved to Canada in the summer. Just settling in and still waiting for my tools to arrive (alas they are still stuck in the UK because of a "container shortage", our ship date has been pushed back 3 times so far) Anyway, I stumbled across this little beauty on the Canadian...

    A bit of a background to my question here: I am moving to Canada in the near future as some may have seen previously. I have a few different Festool tools in 110v. Canada use 110v as standard. I spoke to Festool directly about taking my tools there and they confirmed there would be no issue...

    The State Of Furniture

    Obviously us woodworkers are quite picky about furniture. However since I got more and more invested in woodworking and furniture making I have started to take more note of furniture from other sources. We all know Ikea is junk and the price you pay, we shouldnt expect much more than the...
