I'm moving out of my 3ph workshop into the barn at home which is only single phase. I only have a table saw and old Myfold ML8 lathe that are 3ph, so looking to get a phase convertor to power them until I replace the motors with suitable single phase units. What are peoples recomendations on...

I have a home library to quote for. It will be wall to wall bookcases, floor to ceiling and around 300mm deep. The customer has requested it be made of pine due to the quantity required and cost of materials, so I was wonderring the best approach for making such wide boards to minimise cupping...

Is it possible to buy maple verneered ply and if so, can anyone suggest where from please?

I've got some flush fitting door to hang in some eaves storage with outward opening doors mounted within a face frame. I am hoping to use Euro style cabinet hinges, but can't find what type I need to order as they all seem to be for the door to be at a right angle when closed. (See attached...

My workshop came with this Midsaw bandsaw, it has these tags on the chassis and motor. Can anyone tell me what model it is please?

I've got my Makita LS1019L 10" chop saw sat with it's back against the wall in my workshop, but this means when the saws in it's upright position the vac hose gets pushed out of the port due to the angle and direction the port is at. I had a look on Google for an adaptor and noticed some models...

I've got a tall floor to ceiling built in wardrobe to build, but the owners are on the shorter side of tall. I was thinking of going with the Blum drawer step, but they only do them up to 150mm which won't be enough. I also came across this idea, but it's expensive and not available in the uk...

A chap locally is clearing his late fathers workshop and has what he's described as a Watts Bros morticer for sale. Does anyone have any experience of these and would it be a worthwhile purchase? I can't find anything on the interwebs about it, so wonder whether its a Watts Bros motor on a...

I quite often get asken to paint projects for customers, but usualy just use a brush or roller as I do it at their house. Now I have a workshop I was thinking it might be a good time to upgrade to some kind of sprayer. I'll be using it mainly to apply paint finishes, so what are your...

We are just about to buy a grade 2 listed farm house, but as expected it comes with some things that we've been told need to be changed, one of which is the front door. The conservation officer as stated that it should be an oak 6 panel Georgian style with glazed to panels. Admittedly it will be...

The doors in my workshop have seen better days, so I'd like to replace them. They are currently timber (probably pine) and consist of a pair of side hung doors in an opening around 2m high and aprox 1.5m wide. I'd like to keep the cost as low as possible, so was wonderring if using readily...

Does anyone have a riving knife for a 72 era 10" Wadkin AGS that you could measure/draw around? Mine is missing, but I have a contact that can make me a new one if I draw it on CAD. That goes for any other sheet metal parts if anyone needs anything. Thanks.

Hi, been dabbling in wood butchery for a while, making the odd cabinet for customers here and there as part of my property maintenance business. But after a recent back injury the doctor advised I change my line of work to stop it happening again, so I've decided to concentrate on the carpentry...

Picked up a 10" AGS yesterday for my new workshop and also scored a BAOS 12" planer thicknesser for £200 too. The guy said he needthe space and had never used it since buying it. So after a 200 mile round trip to collect both machines - the saw from Liverpool and the thicknesser from Nottingham...
