I've read a few posts on here from professional kitchen manufacturers that say, they spray a primer, then a top coat in the colour of the kitchen and then after the kitchen has been fitted, the decorator goes in to give a hand painted finish. Can I pick your brains and ask what paint you use for...

Just a heads up that there's a new woodworking program on Quest. It's called "Kings of the wood". Don't know if it's any good as I've just spotted it.

I have a pair of cast iron bench ends and was wondering what timber you would recommend for the slats. I'm not bothered about the colour, I just want the best suitable timber

I've been into my local shop for a new blade but they don't have any in stock and won't be getting any till the new year because of supply problems. Is there another make of blade anyone would recommend for the saw in question. I've seen some saxton blades cheap but no idea how good they are

I popped into one of those old style ironmongery type shops this morning (you know the sort, the ones that sell everything and has that smell of paraffin) and on a bottom shelf covered in dust and oddments of boxes was this beast. The young lad asked if he could help and we had a chat about how...

How would you join a laminated worktop in a kitchen where the induction hob has been designed to fit approx 25 mm from the joint/corner. I've thought about doing a normal worktop jig cut with the worktop bolts, glue and fit the worktop then remove the bolts after it has dried. Then cut the hob...

Clearing out my father-in-law's garage and came across this mini compressor. I'm afraid I don't know anything about it, but I've plugged it in and it works. Collection from BB12 area but happy to post at cost (will have to get a price, but it is quite heavy). I'm also going to the Harrogate show...

Does anyone know how to save a file, in the free version of sketchup, into a "svg" format. I'm very very new to sketchup and I've found out the pro version saves to this format and there are extensions available for the free version, that say they will save the file as a svg, but I can't get...

I've offered to have a go at making a new pair of entrance doors and frame for my church. I've never really made any external joinery before but would love to have a go. First question-- Which timber would be best to use for such a job. I'm thinking either oak, pitch pine or douglas fir.The...

I'm wanting to build a side gate in Redwood next week and was hoping to paint it in the same paint that I've painted the fence panels in,but it says on the can, only suitable for rough sawn timber. Can anyone explain why it wouldn't be suitable for smooth planed timber?

Does anyone know a supplier of black butt hinges suitable for kitchen doors?

While watching the BBC morning news today, there was a piece on the increase in postage costs of parcels. As in most news articles they spoke to someone who happen to be in the post office, posting parcels. Luckily he happen to have his company's web site printed on the back of his jacket and...
