For a Triton workcentre 2000 series, everywhere online seems to say out of stock or discontinued.

Hi, I am in the middle of making an epoxy river table but realised after doing the epoxy pour I need to reduce the thickness. It's now too wide for my P/T. It is currently 14 inches wide but i'm going to cut it down to 11 or 12 inches. Does anyone have a planer/ thicknesser big enough I can...

Hi, I have had a new shed built and wired and I've turned it into a workshop. Something I've apparently overlooked is the need for an extractor fan. Quite often over the last few months I'll look out see the windows, which don't open BTW, completely fogged up with condensation. Also when using...

Hi, I am about to order a workshop but the standard windows are just plate glass. I have a couple of large double glazing units I bought a while ago when I planned to build my workshop from scratch, which I've finally admitted to myself I don't half the time to do myself. The company, Heritage...

Just thought I'd post a couple photos of a set of chest of drawers I finished recently. Drawers made with dovetails and top and side joined with dovetails too. Shelves are mortise and tenon. One of the drawers looks squint because it was too wide so I used a bench top planer to take some...

Hi, Long time since I last posted. I have recently undertaken stripping paint from a old front door on my parents house and attempting to restore it. The door is from approx 1950s and has stained glass window. We found Shillings and half pennies that were put through a letter box and got lost...

Hi I am just starting a beside table and just finished a desk my only hand held sander I have is pro performance random orbital sander. I don't know whether its the sander or the discs but when I was sanding the desk it left quite deep gouges and marks on lower grits like 60 and 100. I went up...

Does wood get much darker after the 1st coat with each coat of plain danish oil? I am applying it to a pine desk but unsure how many coats I'm going to need, therefore unsure how much oil I need. thanks Mark

Hi I recently bought a mini sanding drum from axminster, a carrol one. I was wondering would it be safe to use in my table mounted router on a slower speed? thanks mark

I need a new 1/2" to 1/4" collet for my triton tra001 but the only site I can find that sales them is out of stock. I need it fairly soon does anyone know where I could get one? Or is there a universal one I can get? I know there are others out there but they usually say 'for use with XXXXX'...

Can I varnish on top of boiled linseed oil? Probably a stupid question. Mark

Hi my mum has asked me to buid a desk. The 1st pic is a basic drawing of what she wants but I'm concerned about the left side not having enough support to stop it from going out of right angle to the top. I need help with it. The 2nd pic is the idea I had, plus a small front apron not in the...

I'm just finishing a bandsaw box and applied a 1st coat oil then realised I hadn't glued the handles on the drawers. Should I sand back the oil or can I just glue them on top? I will be using PVA glue. Mark

Hi I've just done the 1st coat of boil linseed oil on my bandsaw. I know I need to let the rags dry flat before throwing away, I assume that also applies to latex gloves I used. Mark

Hi I know there have been lots of bandsaw box posts but I'm starting another for my 1st attempt at one. I used ash and I think mahogany scraps. This is the first time I even attempted cutting curves with my bandsaw so they are not as smooth as I'd like. Also I know the drawers aren't going be a...

Hi I bought several 3x3 ash posts that have quite a few small nails in. I got some out but a few snapped off. I want to make sure there are none left before they go near my p/t. 1st whats the best way to find any hidden ones? 2nd how to them out with damaging the wood too much? Thanks Mark

Hi I saw recently in another post someone mention carroll drum sander for a drill. I have something similar but its the kind that you need to buy the sanding paper tubes to use and found it rather annoying because the tube gradually slides off. I like the idea of being use a piece of normal...

Hi I've just got a kity 612 bandsaw but have no manual and was wondering if anyone has a copy I can have or point to site that does. I can there have been a few posts about this before and they usually seem to end up get a manual for the kity 613 so if anyone has the one of the instead it would...

I might be getting a record RSBS10 bandsaw but it doesn't have a mitre gauge or rip fence. I can probably make a mitre gauge but would prefer a fence that is made to work with it. Does anyone know where I might be able source one? Mark

Hi I now have the funds for a new 235mm saw for my triton wc. I know the triton one was sort of designed for the wc but in a previous thread someone suggested a dewalt but no model number. I think they meant this one http://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-d23700-gb-240v-235mm-circular-saw-240v/32640...
