The Bosch progressor blades for that job, i regularly cut deep cuts with them in old oak, use a water spray to cool

One of my pet subjects, the stove, has to be a Romesse, a large heavy cast iron chunk of a thing but i have had tortoises and this is superior. Can be increased in size by adding collars. not sure if they are made any more, bought mine for £65 some years back. Now the art of keeping the stove...

Stud finders do work, when they work, but now i have a drum sander i do not need it. Based in norfolk if you want a price for me to run them through for you.

But that is in the darkest north, have you no happy customers nearer ? who would be happy to show me ?

looked at these last year but austrian and too expensive, based near norwich, where can i see one in operation ?

I use this for my mockups in my eco marketing wedges using acrylic laquer, you need to produce a mirror image and print, i have an Epson which has the durabrite inks, water resistant. Paint laquer onto image and let dry, then apply laquer again and stick to wood, when dry soak with water and rub...

did you mention oak wet or dry ? I paid £40 for my 50mm forstner but it really works, saw drills leave a lot of clearing up.

Just an idea from my pencil making days, two pieces of timber hinged at one edge with abrasive glued on both faces and another piece of wood as spacer at the non hinge end, ok so like a jaw. The spacer can adjusted for diameter of finished piece or as requested a taper can be produced i presume...

Traditionally copper but as in our modern age in limited sizes. Zinc will break down eventually under the oak tannin. Depends on the use

Traditional mix for black stain without toxic spirits Collect a quantity of oak galls ( a long forgotten craft this) and boil to produce a good strong mix of tannic acid, meanwhile soak some old nails, steel wool in some strong vinegar for a few days to produce a ferrous ? solution. So now we...

Not from your formica top, from the saw blade, the reaction to the tannic acid in the oak and iron from the blade. I make instant weathered oak for my signs with a mix of vinegar and rust - acid rain !

Council premises to be avoided, seem to have no idea or real worth and not forgiving if you fall behind in rent even temporarily. Things like putting in extra sockets etc need an expensive survey. Dont spend too much time on benches etc, advertise for what you need, motto is 'what you want is...

B and Q are not 100 % reliable in my experience, CCA treated timber should always be dry when sold but i found times when it was still wet and therefore toxic. Now thankfully replaced by ACQ. As for FSC certification, how can a tropical rainforest timber be sustainable ? My suggestion is to use...
