Hi all, Any of you folks know where I can find a carving knife like this?: The pic is from Craft Supplies but they only have the replacement blades, not the tool itself... :roll: I've checked all the usual suspects, but I can't for one for sale anywhere!! I can't get much joy with google...

Our camcorder just broke and we're going to upgrade to a newer medium with new one (when we buy one!), but we've got the problem of getting all of the old stuff onto VHS or DVD to deal with. Does anyone local enough to Wrexham/Chester area have a working Digital 8 camcorder we could borrow for a...

Guys, I'm wondering if anyone is able to offer advice, or past experience? This is purely on a personal level, so not related to any self-employment issues or payment for work or anything like that. Basically, I let money to someone a couple of years ago to help them out. They then repaid that...

Hi all, We've just moved into a new house and job no 1 is to build a wardrobe in to a rather awkwardly-shaped bedroom (ours.. :roll:). SWMBO has been looking around and decided she wants (2 of) these doors: link Sorry for the giant link - I can't remember how to replace it with user defined...

I know full well this is probably a very simple question, but I have no clue in this particular area so I'll ask anyway. What is the difference between single phase and three phase supply/devices, and how difficult is converting? I guess I'm asking because at some point in the next year I'll...

Woke up yesterday with an itchy rash down one arm, but thought nothing of it - I'd done the garden recently and I get a mid allergic reaction to evergreen trees/hedges. Woke up today, and it's still there. And itchier... So I went to the doc, and it was confirmed as chickenpox. How annoying...

I got the (Screwfix) Erbauer 2100w router from ebay a couple of weeks ago and just wondered if anyone could offer a little advice? The speed control goes from 1 to 7, but there's no indication of what that means in terms of no-load RPM! I downloaded the manual but there's no clarification in...

A long shot, but has anyone used Wynnstay Sawmill in Wrexham? Primarily oak supplier but they're very conveniently located for me. I don't need anything just yet, but thought I'd get some feedback as I have a few projects lined up for the new house. Would appreciate an opinion on prices and...

I was coerced into spending almost 5 hours putting braids in SWMBO's hair over the weekend (4 1/2 hours on Sunday night then we ran out of the fake hair, then 1/2 hour last night). Firstly, I'm embarrassed to say I think I did a good job of it, and secondly I'd like to hear all of the annoying...

Hi all, As a few of you may know I'm a newbie and just building up a collection of the basic tools I'll need. I've just acquired a few new toys and I'd really like to get using them, so I wondered if anyone in the North West had any hardwood offcuts they need to get rid of? Being a newbie I'm...

Folks, I wonder if I can ask a little advice? I'm very new to woodworking and my main problem is that I'm starting with basically no tools at all. My partner is going back to university in September to retrain so available funds is a pretty big issue.... I know it depends on what I want to...

Guys, I could do with a little advice. I'm looking for a 'cost-effective' way to get a website up. I've seen a few threads on here whereby some members have suggested that you can get free web hosting from some domain reg companies, but I can't find any examples of that (don't recall any direct...

I think it's about time I said hi to everyone! I'm a complete beginner to woodworking (to any sort of quality, at least) but have been interested for a long time - I finally figured that I should just get on with it, so here I am. I've been practising basic joints on scrap for a while and am...
