I have had next day deliveries from Axminster for the last 25 years using their standard delivery option. As long as I placed my order before 4pm the delivery turned up like clockwork. I did notice a while ago the "guaranteed next day" delivery option appeared but just smiled and thought what...

I am looking for ideas for the wood for the frame of a vanity unit in a bathroom, it will be painted and the frame is to go down to the floor? Tulip is out as it will rot before anyone has had the first shower Beech, I am not sure is a good idea Good knot free Pine, maybe Idigbo, maybe but it...

I have a Dewalt 1251 Radial Arm Saw which is a 10” saw with a maximum depth of cut of 68mm. A few months ago I was wondering if a 12” blade would fit in the saw guard/cover without hitting the guard or anything else. I found that a 300mm saw blade would just fit. A 305 might but I am not...

Sorry I am asking the question not giving the answer. After 40 years I still do not have a technique that I am happy with. As an example I made some cornice recently using age Wealdon 002,003 or 006 50mm spindle cutters (it matters not which combination of these). I make my stock oversize so...

I bought this new on November 2019. The motor has run for about 30 minutes. The Axminster supplied stone is totally unused. You can see the specification etc at the Axminster website. It is not damaged or broken. It works fully. I include all the accessories that came with it. For sale...

I use a lot of oak and I currently burn the off cuts! I keep wondering if there is any interest if I boxed up the off cuts and offered them on here FTAGH. for example yesterday I started making 3 windows and have off cuts of 100x 68 and 100x57 circa 200-300mm long currently in my fire wood...

My trusty router is showing signs of a problem. With no load the speed keeps reducing and increasing. It is currently working of a fashion. Obviously related to the electronic speed control? I see on the web that parts are still available. For lots of reasons I will not be doing diy repair...

Over the last year or so I have come to the conclusion that my dust extraction system was inadequate. I had started out with a WV2 LVHP vacuum which are very good vacuums collecting small particles. However I was asking it to extract from my 16" planer thicknesses, a 12" table saw, spindle...

Does anyone else find the search facility on the Axi website infuriating. As an example I searched for a Bench Brush. I got 683 hits. Not 683 bench brushes but what some techie thought were all the possible permutations of what i might of meant if i could not spell or really meant to ask for...

When building cabinets using 18 mm or 12 mm ply, the Domiplate works for external joints. However I always find setting out for central joints say a fixed shelf in the middle of a cabinet a pita. Does anyone have a foolproof method of setting out and then making the joint?

I need to buy new glue brushes (well maybe). For years I had what must be hand made bristle brushes. I have also used plastic spreader type. When I was an apprentice we just used a spare wedge or scrap of wood that was available. The choice now seems to be either buy disposable brushes dirt...

I do not say this as a political statement it is merely reporting a fact. The new Government intend to take: Measures to make the import or possession of illegal timber a criminal offence. Something to watch out for.

Has anyone used this chemically treated softwood?

Soon I will have to make about 15 replacement windows. They will be softwood frames and probably traditional casements. The Cills/sills I would like to do in hardwood. I was wondering what are the current preferred options. Iroko is durable but is pita to work. Oak is a possibility...

Has anyone seen page 35 of the latest edition of FWW N0 210. It is incredible that Taunton have printed it. It is not as if it was necessary to use the table saw I could have achieved his aim in less time then it takes to cut this on the TS with a tennon saw

I have a planer knife sharpening Jig. Never been used! My planer uses dispossable blades. It is like this http://www.tormek.com/en/jigs/svh320/index.php I am determined to get rid of things I do not need so 80 quid. I thought I would offer it here before ebay.

I have a Dewalt 708 SCMS. I am fed up with getting dust everywhere. I have tried the original factory fitted extract, I have tried the upgraded version. I have tried the roofing membrane trick and I have tried an adjustable dust nozzle adjacent to the saw. I even built a dust hood at one...

Just had an email from Amazon to say it is finally on its way to me. Stobart Davies website says its published as well. It would appear that Cabinet Making a Professional Approach is published :D :D :D
