My father had a magazine/book rack made of glass which has fallen apart after many years and he wants to stick it back together, but is struggling to find a suitable glue. It's a relatively simple design, 3 uprights and 1 horizontal sheet. Think a H with a central vertical rising from the cross...

This might be better directed at another forum, in which case, point away please :) In my front garden I have a 4m high Acer growing in my front garden. The trunk, which splits quickly, is about 10-15cm wide and is growing about 60cm away from the front wall of the house. A light layer of...

How do they do it? A design website was touting a office carry-tote for your laptop and office stuff for hot desking. As someone who is being encouraged to return to such an environment on a more regular basis it tickled my fancy, until I saw the £175 price tag. Gustav Original I will be...

Hi All, Looking to get my 12yr old a facemask. He's fairly handy with modelling, and minor metalworking (brass, copper and bits of tin cans) using hammers, dremel and filing. While there isn't much in the way of dust created at the moment I want to encourage him to actively use PPE before he...

Hi All, A long time since I've been on here - life getting in the way of woodwork. Over the weekend I tried to knock together a replica Roman Shield (Scutum, for those whose children are also obsessing on one subject) using some old 4mm ply I had knocking round in garage. I glued up a couple...

Hello, a long time since I posted on here. I've since moved house a few times and so lost my previous workshed. I've got a single garage which si going to be the new one (and on the downside, bike and junk store). First task is to build a new workbench as I am working off an old workmate (a...

Sorry, another thread on tuning an old plane. General ideas I have picked up from other threads and links. Couple of specific questions though. I picked up this Stanley No.7 (Made in the US, seller was very particular about his point) at a bootfair back end of last year. It has since sat in my...

I want to fit the Record 52 1/2, that I purchased from the tip, to my new bench. Unfortunately I bought it over a year ago and took it apart for cleaning and never quite got round to fitting it back together again...Which of course means I've lost all the screws. What size do I need? Reading...

I am a relative newcomer to the world of Woodworking, although I've been playing around with DIY for a while and a partial motorhome conversion. I am a proud possessor of a shed (renamed The Workshop when the better half is around) and while it's got a bench I though I ought to build a more...

I'm building myself a workbench at the moment (WIP when I get enough posts to beat the spamulator) and I want to fit some drawers between the legs. This is very much an apprentice piece so I'm often without a clue. I intend to fit FE runners but I'm now trying to work out what size I should make...

Hi All, I'm a forum lurker finally getting round to posting... A while ago I bought one of the Aldi Morticers. I've now set it up and want to use it to create joints in softwood (50mm x 75mm) for my workbench support. I was aware when buying it, from here and previous experience with Aldi...
