Are you wotking in ply wood because you spent all your money on the Festool??? :lol:

Good work DW, looks very swish mate!

Cheers lads, found a few interesting pieces on the net using some of your search tips. Some nice ideas out there, could take me a while to get the competence of techniques needed to produce the work to a good standard though. Never the less, I figure the best way to learn is to actually have a...

Hi folks, Wasn't sure what section to put this one in, but here goes. I've just started to have a little look at the world of whittling. The missus suggested it to me and it sounded even more appealing when she pointed out the raw material was free! :o :lol: :idea: I've had a bit of a...

Looking good DW, can't wait to see the lid. My missus is usualy okay with me doing some bits in the kitchen, means she gets to see me once in a while. :lol:

You can't beat a good ratting session with an air rifle, or a Jack Russell come to that. The only problem being is it can only ever be a bit of sport using these methods. The rate at which they breed is phenomenal, so the few you manage to get are of little consequence.

Ooooh, oooooooh, freebies!!!! Yipeee!!!! Some great links, thanks.

Here is another design, one I've considered adapting and building myself. One thing I haven't seen on any of these high chairs is any type of padding on the seat. All the seat pieces are flat as well, could lead to numb bum syndrome and an unhappy baby.

I was watching a couple vids on you tube the other day from Egale Woodworking, a yankee workshop. The guy there was gluing pieces flat together then using a broard belt sanding machine to get a uniform thickness.

I agree with Tim and Dave, I'd be worried about the kids trying to climb up the back too. However I think the idea of using drawer slides on the tray is fantastic, are you going to use some sort of pin to lock the tray off for feeding? Are you going to install a strap or seat belt system to...

Thanks for that Martin, very handy to know. Is this problem unique to oak or are other species of wood affected in a similar way?

Hi Mailee, The project's looking fantastic, a beautiful wood to use. I know this may sound a bit stupid, but I'm still learning so humour me please. Why shouldn't you use steel hardware with oak?

I recently changed the blade on my mitre saw. I had some difficulty replacing the guard and thought ahh...blow it. I made one cut with it and scared my self witless when my hand came dangerously close to the rapidly rotating blade, when removing the wood. That was enough for me, I spent a...

Damm...I should have gone to specsavers!!! :lol:

I used to work designing / planing kitchens and 50mm worktops where considered the dogs what's it's. Karl's suggestion of using Iroko is interesting, it's a beautiful wood and very durable. The size and colour scheme of your kitchen though should be taken into consideration. Beech or Iroko...

The Reason Why I Fired My Secretary Two weeks ago was my forty-fifth birthday, and I wasn't feeling too hot that morning anyway. I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and say “Happy Birthday,” and probably have a present for me. She didn't even say “Good Morning,” alone any...

Superb bench you and Mark made there WiZer, I'm green with envy. Best of luck with the OP, but let's face it, if you can beat man flu you'll back at the bench in no time.

Thanks for the warm welcome folks. I live in a small village just outside Newmarket.

I recently took the family to see my parents and they had got the lego I had as a kid out the loft. Absolutley fantastic time was had by all my parents included, it was like having a second childhood. Fantastic stuff lego, the only limitation is your imagination (and that one piece you just...

Hi there folks hope you are all well. I found this forum a few days ago and must say i'm impressed. I've been tinkering around with bits of wood for a few years now, but want to start a bit more seriously now (hope that makes sense). I've recently moved and the property has an out building...
