I have 8 old internal doors to prep/paint. What do I need for a basic spray paint setup? I have a 9 cfm/25 litre compressor. Basically something half decent for occasional use. Thanks

Well used 2000w mitre saw, I've built a fair few things with this! It works fine, however the blade stop isn't working properly and I cant get the blade off. Might be a quick fix, but haven't got time to look. Free to a good home. Collection near Thirsk, North Yorkshire.

Lightly used planer thicknesser. Probably had less than 10 hours use, however now I've got a larger planer thicknesser this is not used anymore. It hasn't been used for a couple of years, and will need the knives resharpening or replacing at a minimum and a good clean. Comes with extraction...

Okay so read through a lot of posts on here and everyone seems to have a different opinion. My needs are chisel sharpening only and something that is quick to use and fairly foolproof. I can spend up to £500 and was looking at the Tormek T4. Oh and I know nothing about sharpening chisels!

Replacing a shonky window in my greenhouse. the window im making will be top hinged and the window frame is sitting in between 2 rafters. I want the window rebated to overlap on all 4 sides to reduce water ingress so will need an offset hinge. Can you buy these with specific offsets or is...

Having recently moved I am now in possession of a large garage which I'll be converting into my workshop. I have the luxury of a fair amount of space and one of my first projects is to replace some single glazed sashes and make my own double glazed units, however I'm looking for general advice...

Hi, After nearly 5 years I'm finally getting around to moving my tools and woodworking equipment out of the house and into a workshop. Unfortunately I don't have the time to built a workshop, so im getting a 12ft x 8ft shed delivered in about 8 weeks. Spec of the shed is as follows:- 19mm...

I need to build a small concealed door (37cm x 53cm) in a wall. I want it as invisible as possible, so was thinking of having a push/magnetic latch and some form of concealed hinge. What would be the best type of hinge to use on this so that nothing is visible when the door is closed? Many...

We moved into our new house recently, and I have got round to having a close look at the conservatory. It hasn't really been very well cared for and ideally I would demolish it and start again, but dont have the cash at present. My main concern is the timber beading (sp??) on the conservatory...

Does anyone have any sources for purchasing birch and sapele faced plywood near Newcastle upon Tyne? Thanks, Dean

Im looking to build a large wall mounted bookcase, about 10 ft wide and 8 ft high. For stability, what is the best material to make it out of? Also I'd like to face (lip??) the front. I've never done this before so any tips would be very welcome! What would be the best joints to use for this...

Have been getting pestered for what I want for my Birthday. I'm sick of getting book vouchers, so suggested some decent chisels. Dont want her to spend a fortune, so was looking at the Kirschen 1101 set from Axminster. Have read previous posts (inc. polished vs non polished). Any other...

Just moved in recently, and as you can see the conservatory needs some TLC! No problem replacing the beading, however do you use sealant behind the beading to stop water ingress? The horizontal piece you can see on the photos, how will that be fixed into the timber, or should I just cut...

Hi, I posted a little while ago about buying a P/T. Im on a bit of a budget, and i've found someone who has a HC260 for sale locally. I think it is the older version as it is painted green (saw a post where someone said this used to be the EB colour before they were blue?). Anyway - Its...

Been lurking here for quite a while, so thought I should chip in at last. I have just moved to a new house and have quite a few woodworking jobs to do including a large deck of about 250ft2 plus a workshop for all the rubbish. Have always bought prepared timber in the past when required, but will...
