Quite a lot of wood recycling centres operating as local charities have popped up - you still have to pay but it is obviously a lot cheaper. You'll have to see if any exist in your area. You can also go along to your local tip and see if you can fish anything out of the wood bin. B&Q / Wickes...

I meant something like this Spectric which gives you AC https://uk.ecoflow.com/products/delta-pro-portable-power-station

Rather than petrol generator, why not look into one of those large capacity batteries which can output 3KW (Ecoflow I think was spending lots of money on YouTube). No messing around with changing motors or anything like that

Are you already preparing the ads which ask for donations to keep the site running because it costs hundreds of thousands a year :ROFLMAO:

So both the software and the opinions on that forum will be out of the dark ages... now we just wait for lots of people on UKW to achieve both as well ;)

Looks absolutely fantastic! Less than a month between first post of the project and completed project - puts so many of us to shame

Is it a new one or second hand? To me looks like they are just selling a second hand one

25mm of PIR insulation and then chipboard on top - that’s what I’ll be doing on my concrete base for my workshop

Tanos is owned by TTS (who own Festool). I expect these Systainers are a big sell off from covid testing no longer being required (Small edit - yes I remember someone commenting that Vantainer (the distributors of Tanos in the UK) were busy with Covid related stuff at the time. If you look at...

Cheeky!

Well, 2024 is almost here... what do you want to do in the coming year? For me, in May it will be 2 years since I started building my workshop - ARGH. The outside is mostly done so I need to get the inside done before then. So for me in 2024 it's - Finish workshop - Build bench - Actually...

Lot of discussion on self build here... has anyone got a YouTube link or forum link to a definitive build guide for the recommended options - heavy frame, linear rails, water cooled spindle with VFD as I understand it?

My Dad made our family kitchen/dining table out of pine 40 years ago and my parents still use it today. I think he’s refinished it once in that time but it’s done well and as @pe2dave says, dinks, knocks etc all part of the story and history
