I have been out of the game for a while, and have also moved recently. I used to get my timber from Sydenhams in Maiden Bradley, but need to find a new supplier in the Basingstoke area. I just had a look online and nearly baulked at the joke prices. Admittedly it was PAR, but British...

Hi, I’m looking for a company to transport a combination machine (780kg) from East Anglia to Wiltshire and was wondering what I’d be looking at paying. I don’t have a way of getting the machine off the truck, but the driveway is flat and can push it into the garage. Thanks

I haven't purchased any timber for a good few years and the last time was from a timber yard in Maiden Bradley. They have subsequently been taken over and as a result I have absolutely no idea what people are currently paying for sawn oak boards. I know price is dependent upon quantity, but...

We are in the process of buying a property that needs complete renovation and I have got my eye on a floating staircase. Whilst I will have no problems making the hollow treads myself, I just don't have any idea regarding sourcing the steelwork and what you can expect to pay. Here is a picture...

Axminster BM78S 1hp morticer, plus box of mortice chisels. Unit is mounted to a case and works fine, but does require a new gas strut as it seems to have failed. I suspect these are very cheap to buy and is most likely a common unit. Selling as I don't make doors / furniture and it's just...

Reduced to £550 Selling my Axminster Workshop AW118CE Cyclone Dust Extractor - 230V which I purchased 2 years ago. I already have a Numatic extractor that I can use for power tools and has the ability to connect a 4" hose. Main reason for selling is that it doesn't get used enough to warrant...

I purchased these to make 6 new sashes for our house. They are surplus to requirements now. No chips and having only made 6 sashes still like new and very sharp. These retail at £80 from Wealden. The actual spec of the cutters can be found here. Flat Sash Ovolo Cutters £45 including postage

Hi All, I am contemplating making a 5ft * 5ft round patio table, but only intend on doing so if I can make it cheaper than I can buy one. The passion for making stuff has gone, unless it saves me money. So, I am trying to understand what is a good cost effective hardwood that I could use, and...

Very lightly used whilst renovating our house. I am selling as I upgraded to a Festool saw with rails as I tend to make more stuff using 8' * 4' sheet material. Comes with a couple of blades. Looking for £75 and collection from Blandford, Dorset or if you want to pay for courier...

We are moving house and having to go into rented and so I am taking it as an opportunity to sell my beloved machinery that has served me well over the years whilst I renovated our house. Ideally, I would like to sell it as a job lot to someone who like myself is a hobby worker who doesn't want...

I am selling these Wealden Tools cutters (full details below link) I have used them to make exactly 6 replacement sashes (softwood) for the property we live in and have just sold. So the likelihood of me ever using them again is probably a zero. Details There is some mild surface corrosion...

I need to replace an exterior door on our house and it's a strange size. 814mm (3' 8") * 1992mm now it's the height that is the issue as this is 40mm less than the stock 2032mm * 813mm door size that is stocked by your Howdens type companies. What I am trying to understand is that it says max...

I have made a concrete and oak bird table with a hip style roof out of 12mm birch ply. Obviously, the birch ply is not weather proof and I really want to try and find somebody that can either create a copper / tin or lead pyramid that will sit on top of the birch and make the whole thing water...

Some time ago I made some small doors for a wall mounted vanity unit and I only laminated one side of the 18mm birch ply (I found out sometime ago on here that it's a big no no) The doors in question are 300mm square and I wanted to share an image of how one has twisted so badly that I'll need...

I'm more curious on this one, but could you use a static / rotary converter to power a 7.5hp 3 phase spindle off a 240v supply?

20 pairs of 2.5" brass butt cabinet hinges. The dimensions of the hinge when fully opened is 35mm * 63mm £30 including postage.

I was looking at the Veritas steam bending strap, but at over £90 it does seem rather pricey. Does anyone have any clever suggestions as I was thinking that you could just improvise with galvanised strapping and cutting the stock slightly over length to ensure it's tight between the wood...

Aside from beech (not a fan of the grain) can anyone recommend an alternative light coloured wood that is suited to bending. I've been laminating 1.5mm into 12mm and using a form, but far too time consuming and steam bending might make a product I make more viable. I know I can bend European...

I recently made the below for under our stairs. Drawer boxes were manufactured using birch ply and veneered with Spanish Olive veneer.

I recently missed out on the bargain of the century. A Hammer C31 on Gumtree (genuine too) for £1300. Sadly, I was the 2nd one to enquire and as you can gather. The first guy didn't refuse. I digress 😭, but life goes on. So posting on here in case anyone knows of either a Hammer or a SCM...
