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...

My next door neighbour is into his 80s and starting to clear out a few bits from his workshop. He has a no.1 coronet lathe he's offered to me - along with plenty of chucks and chisels etc. The only downside is that it is the 48" bed and I don't think I'd ever want to turn anything that long...

I have some left over larch cladding from cladding my workshop and we have a sunken trampoline we want to screen with the cladding and then plant in front of it. It needs to last about 10 years by which time the kids should be well past the trampoline and we can take it out and do something...

We had a kitchen extension five years ago and my wife is unhappy with the tiles we chose and instead wants to put LVT down on top. the one she likes is loose lay so will need expansion gap and of course we’d prefer not to take up the existing skirtings and kitchen kick plates (painted kitchen...

As part of my workshop build I thought I’d made like easy for myself and use a solid core door so I could trim it to any size. Of course I now realise I need to lip the thing as well. Two questions - should I attach the lipping (just going to get some oak lipping from B&Q as that’s what’s...

This popped up on Instagram the other day and I thought I would link to it https://jessem.com/products/pocket-mill-pro-loose-tenon-system I know we will all be pleased for @Spectric as he can finally use dominos with the accuracy he expects! Expect to see the Jessem Dowelling jig for sale soon!

I figured there must be some people on here who have knowledge/experience of RC cars. After having just binned a RC car from last Christmas for the kids which has stopped working, I am getting fed up of buying these RC cars which are complete junk and inevitably don't last long. Can anyone...

Yes the slightly click baity title will disappoint you when you found out I went to the local Axminster Tools store today :) I’d not been in a while and had time for a proper walk round and look at everything and it was a reminder of how enjoyable visiting a store actually is compared to online...

I have got to the stage with my workshop where the cladding is going on - unfortunately my wife picked board-on-board cladding which, being my first ever cladding project, I've discovered is a right pain because you're effectively cladding the walls twice! :ROFLMAO: I nearly have the bottom...

An expensive lesson learned. : woodworking (reddit.com) I didn't really understand how critical it was to dispose of oil rags correctly.. now I do. Thankfully the OP had smoke detectors and was able to get himself and his family out of the house safely. (I can also recommend the woodworking...

I've just seen it light up Twitter overnight that YouTube plan to restrict who can post videos for certain topics to enhance their offering for creative / learning content (although some are saying this is to satisfy advertisers that the right type of channels are used to promote their products...

In Collins Complete Woodworkers manual, it has a lot of nice diagrams for how different pieces of furniture should be constructed, joints etc. and also a quick run down of the dimensions of furniture based on the human body etc. What it doesn't have anywhere I can find, is a go-to table of...

So even though I've been thinking about a workshop for most of 2021, nothing has happened with this yet as we've had other priorities, however we are having the garden landscaped soon so the workshop planning is starting up again. So, the plan is to build a 3m x 3m workshop on a concrete base...

Bears Workshop - Ash standing lamp build || Part One of Three - YouTube This guy offers woodworking lessons. I was potentially thinking of getting some but no longer. Commercial workshop, no guarding on his table saw and the wrong type of push sticks... (timestamps 2:00 and 11:00)

We have tulipwood face frame kitchen with MDF panels. I tried touching up one of the cabinets today with some paint from the original tin used (tikkurila) and even after it's dried, looking at it from certain angles, the touch ups are really obvious - it's worse with the eye than this photo...

Is there a list of thicknessers for which Tersa blocks are available - do they make generic sizes? I was even trying to find a lunchbox thicknesser which might support it but no luck. I've been eyeing up which P/T to buy and generally looking at the 'high end' hobby machines with the 260...

Hi, I did what I always do... put a screw / small part on a shelf in my garage and said "I must put that away safely but it'll be fine for now..". Well, now I've lost the blade threaded screw for my MSPS1200.. argh. Can anyone suggest a link to a suitable replacement? Think it's a M5 allen key...

Hi, Can anyone confirm if the Veritas plough plane cutters / blades are compatible with the 044C? Or any other options of readily available that would be compatible with the 044C. Thanks
